Anyone else here a fan of this quasi-violent art form? Theres no other kind of feeling then rushing in wondering when your gonna take an elbow to the face or a floor to the head, and at the end its all in good fun and you make a friend or two.

*Language Warning for videos*

By the way, contrary to popular belief this is not moshing.

This below is moshing. That above is no fun and stupid, you can't get away with karate and crap in a real pit.

After you do it once it isn't scary at all. Adrenalin takes over and even if your bleeding you hardly notice.

One broken nose after seeing Lamb of God (Black Label)... Some dudes elbow just came out of nowhere hitting me squarely in the face. Though the adrenaline meant I didn't feel it until I was standing on a FREEZING platform...
If your into this kind of music, yet haven't taken part in one. DO SO!!! Its the best part of the gig IMHO.

BTW: Top video is Hardcore dancing, would happily punch anyone who starts that at a gig.
 
The guys who look like idiots in the first video is the ones I aim for in the second video.

I mosh at nearly every concert I go to. My first mosh pit was HAWT! Saw a guy get a black eye though. :P
 
Well, im kinda scared when i go to rock concerts, ive only been to 2, Breaking Benjamin, and Creed, and ecah times i worried there would be a mosh pit

The whole idea is NOT to hurt each other, just push/throw you around. (except the first video)

Most of the time people are chill when it comes to moshing, anyone who falls over has the entire pit picking them up again, plus helping anyone get out if they want too.

But if you don't want to take part its cool, just stick to the sides :)

Real Moshing (2nd video) is always fun if you obey 2 rules 1) Dont be like video one 2) Dont stand in between two walls when the wall of death starts.

Other than that other people watch out for 1st & 2nd time moshers especially.

Also, I've only moshed at underground shows, largest was 40 ppl. Need 2 go 2 a bigger show.

Lol looks fun, but remember. Cussing applies for the videos you post to. I would be careful. XD

Rule 3) Pick up anyone who falls, no matter what. People used to die at Mosh Pits until they began doing this now common courtesy.
 
Actually, in my opinion, being in a mosh pit could have the potential to REALLY suck.

I'll make this scenario simple.

Imagine your dragged to a show by a friend.. You are not into the Band playing at all. and you happen to end up in the mosh pit. You don't get adrenaline flowing because your not into the music or the band.

You get your ass kicked. And it wasn't worth it for you. Sure you could always ask the person why they went if they didn't want to. But that's besides the point now.

That, would suck. and I know that it has happened.
