Mosh pit injury
 

I went to a bar to check out a friends band, I was walking through near the stage and people started to violently push each other, I was stuck in the middle and had to push and knock people over to get out, when I finally made it past the crazy people I turned and looked back and someone pushed me back in from behind I think I tripped over someone and fell and got my leg crushed. I woke up this morning hurting like a motherfucker, why people do this? Anyone every have something similar happen?

Youve had no injury until a Poison Idea or Dwarves set.

\m/

hehehe

That sucks, feel better, what did you expect when you go into a mosh pit though

It's best to stay home and rent a video

Cheaper too,

$7.50 for a long island tea
$3.00 for a beer

cost me $100 to get a buzz

i once heard a story of a kid in college, who use to take thumbtacks (the ones with the flat backs) and tape them to his arms under his shirt, so the points are facing outward...and then go to mosh pits...people would punch him, and hit him, and they would fuck their hands all up, and would stay away

That was me.

When I was much younger, I used to frequnt a little night club that had loud bands. People would always mosh to the great sounds. (back in the late 80's) When real punk bands still existed.


Well this night club owner (who was paranoid that someone would get hurt and sue him) decided to stop the moshing. He had placed benches all around the pit area. Not in the pit which would have stopped the moshing but just on the perimiter.

As I was heading to the bar for a drink, I slipped on someone's either puke, or spilled drink. I slipped sideways.

I fell onto the right side of my body on the bench. It would be the equivelant of standing, raising your right arm up, and having someone crack you in the ribs with a baseball bat. That's what it felt like. I broke a couple of ribs that night from that fall.

That was the worst pain I had ever had up until that point. There isn' much you can do for cracked ribs. And every breath, every yawn, every sneeze, feels like you're being stabbed in the chest. IT SUCKS!!

(for the ladies... ) I'd rather give child birth than to have busted ribs.

When I was 17 I got fucked up at a House Of Pain concert in Scotland.. Those fucking Scots are nutty... God love em..

I remember an extremely violent pit at a Suicidal tendencies/Agent Orange show....I lost my shoe...ever since then I ALWAYS wear boots to shows where moshing may occur.....

I also remember taking three simultaneous shots in a Slayer moshpit that hit me just right and knocked the wind out of me...I fell to the floor and got stomped hard while trying to catch my breath....was a great show...

Then there was the totally insane Slayer show (different then the above show) where three little hitler youths were doing their seig heils in the middle of the pit...being a bit of a pussy, I went for the smallest one..I managed to "accidently" clip him from behind as a black friend (yes there are 3 black people who listen to Slayer and think rap is shit) took him out at th kneecap...after he was carried off the floor with massive leg injruies, the other hair challenged youths made for the exits........the little dude who got taken out probably still tells friends about the time he was demolished in a Slayer pit, but he probably changes details and claims it was from taking on 25 guys in the pit at the same time ;))

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

It wouldnt be bad if you where really big and powerfull, there was a guy about 6'4 and atleast 220lbs. throwing young punks around like they where nothing

hmm let me see.... it happened to me at the nofx concert, at the Lagwagon concert....and yeserday, at the Vans Warped Tour...
You get used to it :winkwink:

That really suck tough....Happened to me once, I was in the middle of the mosh pit, and I wanted to get out desperatly (mosh pits are cool but I can't stand it more than 20 minutes or so....too sweatty and hot in there....)..anyway, I was almost out of this inferno when that huge punkass SOB pushed me back right into the trash...if you've ever been to a big punk concert, you know it's damn hard to get out of there! (The vans warped tour is even worse...soooo many people there...). But now I usually just sit and watch the concert from the bar....I'm becomming a pussy...:(

I fell from a height of about 10 feet onto a Fence that was 6 feet off the ground, the fence hit me right in the rip cage, broke 3 ribs, most fucking painful thing in the world trying to breath or even walk after...

I tought laughing was the most painful thing with a broken rib(s) ! soooo painful.....

Shit, I went to see Gwar,I really don't like the music I just wanted to see the "slaves" stroke the big fuckin dick, well I got into the pit and this little dude somehow jumped on me(6' 280lbs) to get on top of the crowd to "surf" and he kicked me in the head during the process so what did I do? I followed his ass around the crowd, wrapped my arm around his neck ,yanked his ass down and kicked the fuck outta him. problem solved :thumbsup

Oh Christ, try a real concert once.

Have only seen Slayer once, but have watched some of their concert videos. Fucking crazy! I wish they were with Ozzy again this year...

At a Testament/Green Jello show had Chuck Billy of Testament land on me when he did his signature stage flip to end the show...about killed me...he's like 6+ 240+ and I'm like 5'8" 150.......


I also remember a rough one during Napalm Death/Obituary there were a couple MTV moshers who got nailed hard and didn't make it through the second half of Napalm Death's set (they opened that night)

I also remember White Zombie/Monster magnet when I had massive bruises up and down both arms and legs and split my lip, had a bloody nose and accidentl bit some dude in the back of the head....

ah, moshing memories.....

I've been in the pit before. Some people just get to stupid. Makes them feel all big and bad hitting you when you can't even see them.

I've been to quite a few Gwar shows and their pits are actually pretty mild as far as moshing goes, but what fun getting bled on, pissed on and all around messy with a bunch of guys in paper mache/rubber masks playing humorous metal

Your feet
They stink
You never take a bath
Your nose it runs
You bust your buns
Always finish last....

Sepultura. Pre-Against

he has tried a real concert. he went to nofx and warped. probably not quite as violent as a slayer pit but it still sure is fuckin crazy. and u need a bit of variety ;)

pennywise at warped this year was the craziest mosh ive ever been in.

you really cant compare metal to punk mosh ;) totally different. :thumbsup

I got seriously fucked up @ a Rage Against the Machine concert in Montreal when I was 16-17. It was probably the best concert of my life, very violent but it was worth it. I could never do that now though.

Mosh. Term is too easily thrown around these days. 35 sweaty rednecks slamming into each other at a Pantera show is not moshing.

"mosh" has a style. Has designated moves. Floorpunching, the gorilla, windmilling, creepy crawly, assorted karate moves... and lots of regional variations.

None of what has been descirbed is actual mosh. Mosh is a term that was hijacked from the hardcore scene of the mid early 80s. But I digress.

That being said, the biggest TRUE mosh I have ever seen would have to have been Hatebreed, before they became sellout faggots.

And its not the size of the mosh that counts, its the quality of the mosh. Some of the best mosh I have ever seen is at small venues when only 15 to 20 people are throwing down.

You want to see mosh. Catch a hardcore show when blows through your town.

Labret your letting your ego get the better of you

Mosh has different meanings to different people and to think your definition is the only definition makes you pretty damn arrogant.

Ego? What the fuck does ego have anything to do with the truth.

It IS the only definition. Mosh started in hardcore, and then spread and got bastardized in the thrash scene as they were semi inter-related back in the day.

Slamming your sweaty ass into the redneck next to you is not moshing, its called being a drunk idiot. Back in the day they called it slam dancing. Now you homos hijacked the term mosh.

Its not mosh. Never has been, never will be.

Im not telling anyone anything new.

So you continue to run your ass into your buddy and call it moshing, and we will keep laughing at you clueless fucks.

I bet you think the circle pit originated at the Slipknot shows you go to right? Quit listening to everything Fred Durst tells you.

I saw Cannibal corpse, pantera and slayer (also some more underground death/black metal concert)....But I think the mosh pit were harder in punk concert...no kidding....

I had a really long post written out

but by the time I finished it I thought who really gives a shit :321GFY

Me too, I was going to say something, then I decided not to. But then I thought people would want to know that, so I posted this instead.
