Metallica....in the Mosh, will there be a mosh, not in the mosh?

[Inconspicuous]

Fuck these mosh haters. Lighten up, it's a Metallica gig, if you don't want to mosh I would advise you not to go near the front. Simple. Its goong to happen whether you like it or not, so don't get yourself into the situation. I'm pretty sure there wont be pits outside the crush barrier. You know exactly what you are getting yourself in for, don't act the c**t when you're 'taken by suprise' if a mosh pit breaks out near you.

Don't be (even more) stupid. I've been at gigs before where they've broken out way back. So has anyone whos been to a few gigs where an E chord has been played on an electric guitar.

Asking the 99% of people who have no interest in moshing to "lighten up" is funny. Surely not being an idiot and not banging into other people is "lightening up"?!

And its not a Metallica gig. Its Glastonbury. There are people there from aged 1 month to age 80 odd. The vast majority don't want to see a few witless imbeciles ignore the band and get bashed about.

Why don't you fuck off down the very back where theres lots of space and no one else?! You're in the huge minority here. Why should everyone else have to put up with your childish, outdated and stereotypically "rebellious" behaviour. Its cringing stuff.

oh that made me chuckle (because its partly true )

I hope to Christ Metallica don't play a toned down set to stop the exact above from happening!!

Wouldn't be hard for them to tone it down and I'm a bit worried they will...

I'm kind of hoping they think ' fuck it, we've been paid, we won't be doing it again, let's smash the granny out of it'....can only live in hope.

They won't. The "above" people won't make it till that time of night. They'll have already passed out after getting sick on the two cans of Strongbow they bought with their pocket money.

6'4 18stone is not something to brag about really....

I'm not bragging about shit y'all. I'm putting numbers out there to give clarity on my perspective and allow it to be brought into the argument if it needs to. Basically it's me going 'hey I know I'm large so I shouldn't speak for everyone whose next to the mosh pit' because I actually think of other people when I discuss matters like this unlike yourself. You're just a conservative parading as a liberal trying to get everyone to fit in line with your view point because you're a stubborn old fool.

Don't care how big you are chief. My right to enjoy the show on my terms is equal to yours. Fail to understand this run the risk of your sense of entitlement gifting you a black eye.

You don't even seem to understand what this was even used in relation to.

I said 'I enjoy standing next to a mosh pit as I enjoy pushing people back in but I say this as someone whose 6'4 18 stone' it's basically more me saying it for balance. I'm not using it as a threat unlike your aggressive ass who basically says 'my way or the highway'

Your broad minded acceptance/encouragement of moshing will help you understand why you got punched if you do it anywhere near me.

Look all I'm saying is everyone that's being aggressive are the ones who seem to think moshing is anti-social. A lot of angry folk who I'd rather not be around, and pal if you punch me I dont care how old you are I'll make sure you get what you deserve IE a big Hug just to confuse the hell out of you (and because it's glastonbury and it's the right thing to do)

Threatening people with violence is bullshit.

Moshing is an odd 'thing' really. It seems to be an extension of po-going at punk gigs (which I never understood either). Is it because people don't know how to dance? But then I suppose the music isn't very danceable very often is it. Is it just a northern european pastime? I've often pondered this while watching what punters get up to at gigs. Is it down to a basic desire to have some kind of physical contact with other people? And we can't dance, so we throw ourselves at each other.... But it's very aggressive (you don't say! ) isn't it. I think, with metal, more than a lot of other genres, a lot of bands play that kind of music because there's a ready made audience who like to mosh, but aren't too fussed who they mosh too. What happened to having a cosy little fox-trot with your loved one?

A lot of the decent metal fans I know would be as mortified at seeing people mosh as anyone else.

Mate not really sure what point(s) you were trying to make? Think thats the issue.

You were initially pro moshing (I think) and you're now offering a combination of punches to moshers (I think) and hugs to aggressive anti moshers.

I'm copnfused. Should I mosh at Dolly then?

Why not just refrain from moshing at Glastonbury in the first place? Then you won't have to give out hugs to unhappy people - you can give hugs to happy people instead.

I'll refer you to my post earlier, just because you and a few others may want to mosh doesn't make you more entitled to be at the front compared to those who don't want to. And as I and others have said, it doesn't just happen at the front. Like I said before, if you are going to open up a pit, be considerate that there will be a lot of people who are stood in the area you are now turning into the pit who don't want to be a part of one, don't think and act like you are entitled to make people have to move just cause you're at the front of a metal gig.

I'm not even planning to mosh... so it's not an issue. I'm just saying people should be allowed to mosh if they aren't being pricks about it if the music seems appropriate for it. You probably wont even notice any moshing anyways, I think loads of people are blowing the threat 'moshing' brings to Glastonbury way out of proportion. It just don't like people outright saying 'if someone moshes I'll hurt them' attitude.. it's the only reason I got involved in this argument in the first place.

It's this conceit that people are allowed to act inconsiderately if it's under the guise of moshing that I detest. Utter horseshit that will be met with an equally inconsiderate and discourteous response if behaviour interferes with my enjoyment.

[The Nal]

Thats impossible. Unless they mosh on the spot (which isnt moshing!) then they're going to interfere with someone elses enjoyment of the gig. How could they not?

So no matter what happens, if someone is moshing, they're pissing lots of other people of. End of.

Thats why they're c**ts. Flags, chatting at gigs etc doesn't even come close to someone bashing into your back at a gig.

Do moshi monsters mosh or have I got that very wrong?

Wait this thread is not about fighting some virtual pets during Metellica on my ipad?

[Yoghurt on a Stick]

Moshing would appear to me to be a quite violent and aggressive thing to do. As such it's about a million miles away from the ethos of Glastonbury festival. Couldn't all you who want to mosh do it at another more appropriate festival instead of ruining the beauty and harmony of Glastonbury? To plagiarise, if it does occur then it will 'be a monstrous carbuncle on the face of an old friend'.

It's already happened at Glastonbury before. So you already have that Carbuncle
