At the risk of sounding like a total retard, I'd like to ask how the fuck I'm supposed to enter a pit, and if there's certain "do"s and "don't"s. I've been to many concerts but I'm too awkward to enter the pit (afraid of doing something stupid and being mocked) but I really really want to enter a mosh pit.

so, uh, that. i'm an idiot at dealing with people and i'd like to be in the pit in the next concert i go to.

jeez what a question haha :P
Just get into the music, jump in and have a great time :P it's lots of fun

Kuivausrumpu

exactly my thoughts!

jeremybassmetal

Pick people up when they get knocked on their ass, and don't be one of those faggots that think they are the toughest shit in the pit.

Metal_James

Like he said^ when someone goes down, pick 'em up. As far entering goes: just jump right in.

COTHRASHER

you get the feel for it pretty quick, don't be a douche in the pit, pick people up if they're down and try not to get hurt too badly

motorchain

Entrar al pit es lo mas divertido de un concierto solo lanzate
y empuja y golpea solo no te pases con los demas y en lo que uno tiene que hacer o no realmente no existen reglas pero por respeto a los demas evita usar muñequeras con clavos o ese tipo de cosas por que muchas veces eso es molesto y terminan partiendote la cara te lo digo por experiencia propia

BlackMetalRights

You have to be into it, push people around, and have a great time!
Don't target someone.
No karate.
Pick someone up if they're down.
And try and not slip yourself haha

A huge don't is going after a person certain person.
This one time this one jerkoff douche guy was like "ah guys,lets fuck that guy up.He fucking elbowed me in the face"
SO I just had to say "dude,you're in a pit shit happens,chill"
then his buddies all agreed with me,and He looked like a total weiner.

do not intentionally go in with the mindset of hurting someone. accidents do happen, but dont TRY to make them happen. know what i mean?

i was about to post this haha

slaytanic1

'tis the gospel of the pit!! ha ha! \,,/

pitstopchr

Amen.

Ironbound

Just jump in, push, run around, whatever. Don't be one of those douchebags who get in and start kicking and punching people. Shit does happen though so if you hurt someone flash them the horns or something. If someone gets knocked down, help them up. Over all, just have a good time.

Fuck the mentality that you need to be the toughest thing at the show. Metalheads really ruined the moshpit in my opinion. Moshing isnt shoving and swinging at people, actually. Its what you young kids think is moshing. Yes, moshing nowadays is shoving....it wasnt 15 years ago at hardcore/punk shows. The assholes that shoved got beat down for being, well, assholes. Shove pits are not fun, I hate that toughguy bullshit.

mayhempunk666

i agree, but i dont find anything wrong with giving someone a little push when they get way to close for comfort, or pushing myself off of other people, those who are in the pit i mean

Deathcore.Is.Not.Metal.

Yeah, that definitely happens, pits get crowded a lot. But what I'm talking about is shoving someone who isn't even close to being in your way. That's bullshit.

mayhempunk666

i completely agree on that. And its normally a huge as fat dude going out of his way to hit some twig

Adrian

Agree completely

Ironhead

The first thing to consider for EVERYONE should be "is this the right show for a moshpit?". I'd like to see the shows of bands like Running Wild, Judas Priest, Raven etc. without some short-haired fags forcing their moshpit on because "hey we're at a METAL show we must get a MOSH PIT done"... Fuck Off!!!

Seany Genovese

Depending on what kind of show you're at, just adapt to whatever feels right. It took me a few shows to learn, so take your time, as there isn't much help one can get online for moshing, unless it's to learn Punk/Hardcore dance moves, and even most of those videos were made as jokes haha.

BuriedAlive

Sólo dejate llevar..entra al Mosh cuando éste no esté muuy "agresivo" para que poco a poco comiences a aclimatarte, y bueno, todo lo demás sucederá de forma natural

BlitzBoaR

Don't wave your arms around like an idiot. Don't hit or kick people, you're not really supposed to hurt eachother in the pit.. Other than that, just have fun slamming around really

Let the sound take you, goes at the rate of the friends who surround you, enjoy you, helps those who fall and take advantage

    Amazing stuff !!!

  • 7 min 21 sec ago

    Well, you can find this one at discogs for € 100,-.... but as you know TPL Records just did a re-release: it's sold out, but maybe some will start popping up at ebay soon.....

  • 9 min 56 sec ago

    Thanx... yes def. a piece of history and extremely rare release... it's a shame they're so underrated: the average metalhead can think up Sepultura, maybe Sarcofago and that's it..... hardly anyone mention Vulcano, Dorsal Atlantica, Korzus, Overdose, Taurus etc.

    Thats the main problem with Moto cuir jackets if you buy em online... But it looks just perfect!

  • 18 min 5 sec ago

    haha je hebt nog een keer bij één van m'n shirts geschreven dat je er niks aan vond maar dat je die hond met die grote tanden wel leuk vond hahaha.... in een half jaar tijd kan er veel veranderen. Ik heb Motörhead zo vaak gezien dat ik de tel kwijt ben; maar iedere keer is het weer geweldig !!! Alvast veel plezier toegewenst met Motörhead, Kreator, Entombed, Opeth en Enslaved !!!!

  • 15 min 29 sec ago

    Yep, I did end up paying big time for it though, but it was well worth it.

  • 20 min 38 sec ago
