jeffie Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 You could be a human shield to ensure the pimms isn't knocked over by the moshers Good thought. Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;Or close the wall up with our Pilton commoners.In Pimms there's nothing so becomes a manAs modest stillness and humility and a swift sip:But when the blast of Enter Sandman blows in our ears,Then imitate the action of the tiger; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sime Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 (edited) Thank you sir. Shall I get the marquee brought across, or perhaps we can rough it with a gazebo? Oh a marquee would be absolutely tikkity boo! But please tell Michael we do not want any of this so called 'moshing' nonsense taking place anywhere near the front of the stage. That would put me right orf me dinner. Edited May 27, 2014 by sime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if we can get the commoners to block them orf, that should be satisfactory. I do find the moshers are not conducive to good digestion.

kbearne Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 I'd love a mosh pit, hope so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purple aki squat Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 I will be between mosh and cider, therefore outside of mosh for Metallica. I will be in the centre of the mosh for Elbow mind, along with the well spoken sorts on here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sime Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 I actually did used to love a good mosh and stage dive back in the day. I have very happy memories of going to see Nine Inch Nails in 1991 at the much missed Astoria in London, jumping onstage while they were playing, nicking a pint of their water, drinking some, pouring some over myself, the rest over the audience and then stage diving as their bouncer came running towards me. I miss those days! So enjoy your mosh you crazy Metallica fans (just look out for each other!) Anyway, ta-ta. I'm orf for some tiffin.

H.M.V Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 I'll be there with champers and blinis if anyone wishes to join me on our Persian rug and served by our butler. He's worked for royalty dahlings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sime Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 I reckon the crowd for Metallica will naturally arrange itself between the moshers and everyone else once the band get going. I don't think there will be any problems. Unless someone spills me port, in which case me standards will drop somewhat and I may have to rebuke a high spirited reveller or two.

Keithy Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 I'd be surprised if there was much of a mosh pit. Pyramid headliners attract a lot of 'spectators' and whilst groups of fans might start small pits, there won't be anything massive. Too many flags for starters.

monkey1989 Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 I hope it's moshy and they don't water it down and play a load of slow songs because they think that's what glasto want to hear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morse Code Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 I'm expecting something like this...: at 0.51 sec, WTF! Looks like a big game of ring a ring a rosies and after about 20 seconds they all looked a bit embarrassed. Is this how moshing works?

DeanoL Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 its people like you who kick off the problems, noone in a mosh pit is delibratly trying to cause violence to anyone not in that way anyway, its merely a form of dancing if you want to put it one way. yes it can be seen as violent but nothing is `aimed` and anyone who did start throwing punches etc would quickly be dealt with.....as would anyone id hope who was delibratly elbowing people in the head.....and itd be your problem for choosing to do so noone elses. I don't care that it's violent. I care that it's annoying if I'm trying to watch a band and someone runs in to me. I'm not elbowing anyone in the head though. I'm just standing there. They're the ones running at me. Not my fault if they run head first into my elbow, should have looked where they were going. Let's face it, they were moshing, if they're brain damaged it's not like we're losing the cure for cancer is it? there will be pits opening up yes but its not going to be to crazy or take over the entire crowd.....so if you dont want to `mosh` dont go in the pit it couldnt be simpler. For a pit to exist, there has to people around the pit forming the walls of it, the people that the moshers seem to delight in running in to, because generally people are nice enough to push you back in, rather than knock your teeth out. But they sure as hell don't want to be doing that. If they wanted to be part of the pit, they'd be in the pit. But there's always going to be someone on the immediate outside of the pit that doesn't want to be involved, and if they move away, the pit gets slightly bigger and now there are new people on the outside that don't want to be involved, and then they move away too? Where does it stop? I mean, it's geometry. Until no-one is left but the 100 people in the pit? Actually that's probably what will happen at Metallica you're right.

monkey1989 Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 I have seen metallica twice and not really noticed many mosh pits just general fist pumping , jumping up and down + head banging but good atmospheres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaShells Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 As much as I think mosh pits are fun, I've been put off after seeing someone have their two front teeth smashed out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nal Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 Is this how moshing works? Yeah. Lots of 15 year olds (or older people but with a similar level of maturity and brain capacity) bashing into each other in a pathetic show of teenage rebellion. Its a metal thing. And its one of the main reasons that metal fans in general are seen as morons by the rest of the civilised world. Absolute shitheads. The moshers I mean.

jeffie Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 Moshing will be permitted as long as there is no disturbance of our large group of chairs, table, marquee and drinks chillers situated 25 feet from the stage. If there is any trouble I'm afraid Michael will have to get involved! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stokesy10 Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 (edited) HAHAHA mosh pit. If you like mosh pits which include fucking dick heads running into the back of some unsuspecting person, or pushing a fellow mosh head prick into someone who isn't involved, or thinks it's 'epic and awesome' to break your nose and teeth while music is being played, then you are indeed an absolute sad pathetic c***. Go mad, jump up and down, shout, maybe accidently knock into someone with excitement, apologise, fall over, etc etc. These things happen at a gig. But smashing into the back of someone or rolling around like an utter bell end, is so, so sad, it is laughable. "Yeh man it was so epic I broke my nose at the Megadeth gig, aww man it was awesome going back to work with no front teeth". You're cool guys!

A group of long haired c**** at the Monkeys gig the weekend - smashing into the back of people, knocked a girl to the ground who was near me just enjoying the tunes and jumping up and down, she lost all her belongings and hurt herself. I booted the tossers legs from underneath him and had to restrain myself from volleying his face. It is so pathetic it is untrue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
