Hardcore Dancing/Moshing (metal, shows, quote, performance, band)

i think the logic behind that is that the biggest and most hard core fans are willing to go to the front to see the band ( and going to the front usually involves standing there for hours clinched like a sardine )...others are satisfied with seeing the band from a nice distance and enjoying the music whilst having a bit of space...

at some concerts, moshing goes on in the back too...

I'm happy in the middle, i don't feel i need to see the band just as long as i have plenty of room to dance without any trouble.

People up here do it sometimes. But it ususally happens within a circle, and as long as you stay in the arms of an o-so-strong boyfriend you won't get bruised or hurt. I can understand why people would like to mosh, and they are there to enjoy the show, so I respect that they want to do it their way.

It's all in good fun

I'm cool with it too. Not had too many experiences with the push-you-about petty thugs who just go along to act like total ringpieces and bash into anyone they see... last gig that happened to me was Placebo. Ugh, their fans were enough to put me off that band for life.

I'm down with the physical violence side of moshing... but the poor personal hygiene of many moshers makes me stay away.

I do not want THEIR diseased, acrid sweat in MY beautiful eyes.

I went to a show by the Guillemots the other day. They actually tried to start a pit there. Idiots. I got punched in the face at the same venue once too.

moshing and hardcore dancing is all in good fun. I like watching the fans two step and stuff. it looks dumb, but when you see people hardcore dancing, they're having the time of their life so thats pretty cool.

Whenever a circle pit starts, I trip someone in it lol. Hardcore dancing is fine so long as you don't do it in the very front, that is my spot, I want to see the band, get out of my way. Regular moshing is fun, i'm like slightly below average weight but I can lay some people down when I mosh.
