Weird Al was obviously just lost in deep thought...formulating lyrics to a hilarious version of "Burpland" featuring belching sheep.

Dude that is awesome about the wedding party being pushed back for a Behemoth show. I guess I missed that one cause I would have remembered that...or was it not in Atlanta?

In response to number 5 - there were some great examples where this was originally posted like a guy wearing all Hawaiian clothes at Wacken Open Air. Whoever posted that didn't care what he was wearing but he just noticed it created a distance between him and everyone else at the show...I think that's what number 5 was trying to get at.

This is the guy (or chick) who is attending the concert, does not have a gun pointed at their head, but isn't exhibiting ANY EMOTION WHATSOEVER.
They're obviously there by choice; it doesn't look as if they drove their kids to the show and are stuck in the venue....heck, they're actually watching the bands...but their emotions are as cold as an Immortal song-title. Everyone around you is fist-pumping or head-bobbing or jumping around or doing the behind-the-head leg-stretch*, but this guy just stands there.

I know the kind you are talking about. Usually, in my experience they are there because of their boyfriend or their friends. They probably told them how much they love metal, but they only like metal because they think metal fans are hot or something.

Some of the list is pretty true. I don't usually care, if that is how someone wants to waste their money then that is their problem. If someone wants to mosh like a total moron then let them. The only people that bother me are the ones that decide they are the king of all that is metal and moshing. "Everyone must mosh and everyone and everything in the mosh pit MUST be destroyed. Also those who don't mosh are pussies and I have to make sure they know their place."

there's this dude who goes to a lot of hardcore shows around here who said to a friend of mine "I'm the best mosher in all of GA."

LOL, who fucking cares???

I keep showing up in my painting coveralls because I can't properly manage my time. Guess I'm a #5.

Also if Brian dresses like Sailor Moon I want pictures.

It was in Atlanta. It was the tour when Gojira opened up for Behemoth...when Behemoth had the giant illuminated multi-color inverted crosses on the stage.

also. i dont give a shit if other people spill their beer, even if its on me, but when motherfuckers spill MY beer then theres a problem.

Amen! What's bad is when some douche bag slams into you (way outside of the pit), spills your ridiculously overpriced beer and starts to wander off without so much as a "My bad," then when you kick them in the spine all of a sudden you're the bad guy.

He probably dropped his acid at the wrong time before the Ozrics show. The Pongmaster is not amused.

For proper timing, you have to do what my friend did a few years ago when they played the Variety...and drop at the precise time Ozrics' frontman tells you to, on the bus before the show.

Weird Al was obviously just lost in deep thought...formulating lyrics to a hilarious version of "Burpland" featuring belching sheep.

And I'm officially envious that y'all got to go to that Ozrics show this summer; I was busy at Dragon*Con and couldn't get away.

Spilling beers is really bad. I think it was the Vader show, I got a fresh Pabst and was hanging with Diana and their was this one guy moshing and bouncing off the outside people. I had just opened my beer when this jerk happened to bop from across the floor and push up into my beer. 3/4's of it spilled out on me and the floor and the last 1/4 was all foam so there goes 3 bucks, fuck!

Haha I guess I was out if town when this happened or I probably stayed in or near the pit for the whole show. I seem to remember going to a show with both these bands on it...strange question but was this a few months before Patrick from Blood Stained Dusk died? The last time I saw him was at a Behemoth show a few months before he died...might have been this show you speak of. I remember that because of an amusing conversation we had while Behemoth were playing.

Anyways, Brian, Id like to see that! Take pics lol
