What the title says:D Goes back to the angry young men of the punk era, people would punch and spit at each other and the bands back then, moshing is just the remnants of that. |

Go to a metal show and stand arround 10 feet from the stage, that's where you find your Moshpit! The term Mosh is derrived from the Anthrax song *caught in a Mosh* and the Moshpit is just the Metal/hardcore version of the Punk Pogopit. Instead of just jumping on spot like in a pogopit, people run arround and push each other arround to the sound of the band, creating a circular area in the audience with a lot of Movement going on. The Moshpit in Metal is so called 'good friendly violent fun'. It's pretty intense but if you fall down, people will immediatley lift you back on your feet. You just have a great time, you mosh yourself into ecstasy while you hear your band play, you get physical exercise and you'll have the bruises to prove you were at a metal show. Moshing has some extreme forms, some aren't even funny anymore: -Circle pit: Moshpit with people runnig in the same direction, creating a big circle in the audience, fun and looks great from stage -Wall of Death: Audience is divided into two parts and when the band gives a sign, the masses of people rund into each other, looks cool but there is a chance of seriously hurting yourself -Violent Dancing: Most common in the hardcore/metalcore genre; kiddies with sportswear doing spinkicks and punches in the air; might feel cool for the one doing it but it looks retarded imho and the chance of accidently hitting someone is really high... That is some serious mosh theory Zakk - respect -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

Goes back to the angry young men of the punk era, people would punch and spit at each other and the bands back then, moshing is just the remnants of that. 100% with Sted on this. I can remember going to see groups like Black Flag, Bad Brains and Scream - all US hard core punk - way back in the very early 80s. People moshed at those gigs and sI can remember Bad Brains using the term. I also remember going to see The Damned back in the very late 70s and people were slam dancing. There was one very big skin who was slam dancing and everyone was keeping their distance - every now and then one of his mates would body check someone in to him and he'd deck them. It wasn't all about pogoing . -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer.
