See, but that's half my issue. I mean, essentially you're getting a bunch of people together and just kind of surging back and forth and feeling the "energy" of a loosely-controlled mob, right? And then you're surprised and upset when it gets out of hand and people get injured?
I've been moshing once
Paganfest 2008
and it was the best because everyone in the crowd was into it and I swear everyone at that show was nice
if you fell over you wouldn't hit the ground because like five different dudes would see in time and would catch you
This to me is like the Jerry Seinfeld bit with the helmets.
How the helmet is proof that the human animal is not very smart
how instead of not doing the things that were breaking our heads we instead invented a device that would sort of maybe protect our heads good enough that we wouldn't instantly die.
When I went to Gogol Bordello, there was some moshing, but it was more of the "Everyone just dancing and oh look we bumped into eachother oh well" kind of thing. If someone went down a few people would immediately start shoving everyone else out of the way to get the dude up.
I did see a dude that had lost one of his shoes in the 10 seconds he was on the floor, though/
I was thinking of going to their New Years Eve show this year but it looks like I'll be flying to Japan on the 1st soooo
Dick.
Have fun.
I will have so much fun that it will actually begin to drain all the fun you've had here.
Eventually you will only remember hating that place.
I'm pretty sure no amount of fun anyone could ever have on the planet could ever begin to negatively alter how much fun I had there.
If I could change one thing, though, I deeeefinitely would have gotten laid.
Do bar-going Japanese ladies like white dudes speaking very very broken Japanese at them?
And how.
Careful, though, several of them are pushing 40 and looking to get married. You will not be able to tell these apart from the 18-25 year olds as a general rule.
I was pretty fluent and a good dancer, I just had a girlfriend and am also a total idiot.
I drive TWO FUCKING HOURS with a 19-YEAR-OLD GIRL to a show that is NOT LISTED AS BEING 21+ and we get there and it turns out the place is SOLELY A BAR AND NC STATE LAW WILL NOT ALLOW MY FRIEND IN UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES
So I DRIVE TWO HOURS BACK and now I am going to get ANGRY DRUNK
edit: yes I did, sorry I just get excited when I think about it
edit edit: I forgot to mention something awesome that happened that day
I was told by the front desk lady at our hotel (Maxwell House) that a shuttle would be able to take us to the Mercy Lounge, but then when it was time to leave oh no they don't go within 10 miles of that place, BUT THEN the awesome shuttle guy was like don't tell anyone and drove us right up to the front doors. We tipped him quite well.

I want to burn until there's nothing left to burn about
This forum's waiting for a better day
When I get back there will be hell to pay
But, if I'm the only one left standing,
I will not be afraid to fight!
I'M BREAKING OUT OF HERE TONIGHT
See you on the flipside

I think I have been an old man my whole life.
Because Moshing seems like the dumbest thing ever to me, and always has.
Maybe you and me can play checkers together on the porch at 5 AM.

What are you, Communist? Jesus, kid.
okay see i've seen two types of moshing
one is where everyone is just doing there thing at a concert and several douchebags decide to start throwing each other around
that is awful and those people should be set on fire until they calm down
and then i went to a matt & kim concert and the the entire crowd was "moshing" and it was less violent and so my energy and it was amazing oh man
Whatever, not for me, you guys have fun.

It is the awesomest thing to see this live.
I never do that, I only see things that seem retarded and then avoid them.
Edit: I am sorry Lurker, but there is something up with that video, it does not seem to want to play for me.
Edit: There it goes.
Edit: Well, I always make a point to spend time listening to something with an accordion in it, but I'm not sure how I feel about this stuff.

I had to cancel plans to see Lewis Black, once, because not everyone else in our group was 21.
So I kinda/sorta feel your pain.
