Had to explain a mosh pit to the wife

[Kachina26]

First question, "why would you do that?" No explanation, just give a little and get a little while having a good time.

Mosh pits are great until you think about just how much sweat from other people end up on you.

My wife, now thankfully and ex-hardcore punk rock chick, lived for the mosh pits at all the concerts she went to. Plenty of pictures of her with blood on her shirts, black eyes, and bruises.

To this day…don’t get it haha.

There was more blood than sweat. Old school 80's shit.

 

[was thatguy]

The general rule was if you left the show with a bruised forehead then it was a good show.

Mosh pits have to be the dumbest thing ever invented. Might as well hang your head off a Parker dock when a wake tractor goes by.

Nothing like the energy of a good mosh pit.

This one is like a scene out of Braveheart

The wall of death…

 

[Yldboyz]

I entered the mosh pit once with my buddy, it was great but would never do it again. I wanted to take a bat to every person in there.

 

[bilz]

Once, never found a thrill.
My sister would come home bruised.
Something for everybody.

Don’t ever do jiu jitsu or wrestling if that bothers you!

 

[bonesfab]

Just adds to the "battered" woman thing.

Went with a couple of my kids to see DRI last year. Local indoor skatepark. Kids were skating and the pit was moving. No flying elbows, just old school punk rock shit. I could tell my son wanted to jump in and finally my daughter grabbed him and yanked him in. Think it was 1986 last time I saw DRI play?

Going to see Subhumans in a couple weeks,,,,

It's a lot like being a NBA player in the lanethat said, my son seems to have an affinity for mosh pits.

Had plenty of all that at the Warpt Tours in the 90's. Guttermouth, Nofx, pennywise, screeching weasel ....tons more.

I still hit a show every once in a while. Last was Lagwagon & Face to face. I sit in the back and watch these days. But the cows are definitely older. LOL!

If you're feeling the energy... you'd understand

We went to a punk show back around 2002 at SDSU. Guttermouth, Pennywise and bunch of others. Mark Adkins of Guttermouth on the 1st song was jumping up and down. Came down and snapped his ankle. Real bad. Screamed at crew for some beer and played rest of set standing on 1 leg holding mic stand. Let see you do that Britney Spears

 

[Melloyellovector]

suicidal tendencies gets some epic pits going.
couple years ago in Huntington.
@Ziggy this might have been the concert I met your son at, he stalked me because I had rdp shirt on, lol

 

[napanutt]

Summer sanitarium, Candlestick, 02 or 03. I was pretty much front and center. Not so much mosh but my god the pressure pushing towards the stage was intense.
I had this shirt but wore the fuck out of it.

Last pit for me was Anaheim house of blues i think about a year before Covid. Anthrax, testament and I can remember the other band. Good pit! friend lost his shoe at some point so we linked up and started smashing people until we found it!

I lost a shoe at the Monsters of Rock back in 88. Chipped a tooth at a desert party in 89.
