so many people mosh differently and there are supposedly different kinds of moshing so how do you mosh?

i just bump into other people and like to run around in circles.

edit: if anyone smacks me with some gay-ass windmill action, he can expect my boot

I only mosh it up fuckin oldschool! Full contact mosh and circle pits! Milano Mosh! The Toxic Waltz! As far as I'm concerned, there is no other way.

Just saw this at Wikipedia, though I would share:

"Amongst the metalcore, screamo, and emo scenes, circle pits at times include fans standing about 5 feet away from each other wildly flailing limbs in a kung-fu fashion. This is often mistaken for a metal practice amongst the less experienced, but it is in fact highly frowned upon by the metal and thrash community since it is a "new style" that metalcore and screamo fans have adopted. Pits with this sort of dancing can be dangerous to both those involved and those in the surrounding area who can find themselves being punched, kicked and assaulted despite having no desire to join in the pit. A person involved with the "karate" dancing can often have very sore joints the next day, due to the fact that they swing with full force in their punches and kicks and that their limbs follow through without hitting anything to stop the motion."

Correct!

I hate metalcore and hardcore "dancing". I stay out of the pits for the most part. I'm always the guy trying to stand as close to the band as possible to watch them play.

I just jump into the moshing pit and try to kick as much asses out of there as i can.

In my city, moshing is so convoluted it is mostly just hardcore dancing.

The shit these kids here do is ridiculous and stupid (kinda like an argument between Bia and Transient).

For me, I just run in, low profile, and start spinning the bows around.

Normally I don't, but at Tankard I just ran around shoving and pushing people. Great night IspankedGerre'sass

I have once succeeded in throwing down and kicking someone mid-pit. Makes me quite proud I must say.

I dont like moshing, it makes my misanthropy increase even more... I prefer watching the concerts quietly, in front of the stage if I manage to arrive early enough, or however in a safe place.

Me too!

Or the Scott Ian stomp.

I like to hop up and down and then punch the ground repeatedly.







j/k. I'm with MTM. Oldskool's the only way to go!! A lot of the time, I'm with all those fuckin nerds who just sit there up front and watch the band play but I at least try and start some movement up there too. but of course, the night is certainly never complete without spending some time right in the middle of things.

I just push around, no punching and shit.

Most of the time I just headbang, I only mosh if I get bumped into.

Isn't that like, the perfect place to get crushed?

On a more serious note, when I mosh, I mosh hard with a vengeance.
Usually I'm just chillin' at the bar with a couple of pints and I'll yell 'slayer' ever now and then.

def i think murcie was kidding.
he's not actually misanthropic and metal shows prolly don't increase his "hate meter"

I don't mosh.

with a 1.5% blood alcohol level. i like circle pitting, but I've kids around the LA thrash scene just skip around in circles as if they were doing a rain dance. its stupid to look at. One time at an Agent STeel show i decided to join the "fun", i flailed elbows around and was pushing dudes and i was getting dirty looks.

i watch bands, and take pictures

With crash barriers in front of me is ok, but yeah, if I cant hold there it's a suicide.


In fact, they dont, but it happened that I would have liked to kill some dickheads who didnt simply mosh...

moshing is gay.

Sounds like a perfect activity for you.

Shame white pony isn't that moshable. Hahahaha.

+14546654, i like to see how they play their shit, to see if there are hidden notes or, a better way to play the song

would you consider the wall of death moshing? anybody been in one?

I've been in one, but I forgot what band it was. I think it was Skinless. But they put a little twist on it and told us to walk into each other slowly, like zombies - "zombie wall of death". It was really retarded.

Yeah dude, that was gay

I just watch the band nowadays.

Two night ago I got caught in a brutal mosh. It only took a handful of faggots to ruin the pit too. There were some tough guy faggots shoving each other as hard as they could, throwing each other to the floor. I got pushed a few times to and ended up punching some guy in the ribs. I hate noobs trying to mosh. It's not a show of strength it's a way to enjoy the aggression of the music.

I just push and shove but I never try to knock someone down. I think moshing is gay for the most part and generally don't partake in it. I like to actually watch the band or windmill or something.

Inside my head, I am moshing right now.


Psychologically, I am doing a windmill.

ive seen some videos on you tube shitty recordings but crazy ass people the ones with caliban and lamb of god.

do U mean like moshing with my hair or going into a pit?? I do both.

It depends. Most of the time I just watch the band, but sometimes I'll get in there and mosh. If there's hardcore kiddies, and no one wants to take the time to beat the shit out of them, then I don't bother.

__________________

I actually had/was forced to at a show recently.

just a big show where if you wanted to get close to actually see the band, you were inside a maelstorm of human bodies.

dudes..........it was fun. I just kinda held to the sidelines and defend my position. Sometimes I'd get dragged in and migrate back.

so on rare occasion I do, but not really a flailing around sorta thing.

__________________

I watch the band/sing/windmill but then realize that i havent had enough fun yet so i go mosh, usually i just go with whatever mosh has arleady started.

Theres a song from my band were we get everyone to do the wall of death. It's usually pretty succesfull.
