my advice is don't take any garbage from anyone. dont let anyone push passt you fight like heck, try to make friends with people around you so u can help each other out. try not to fall down. but if you do theres always at least one person who will help u up. dont duck when crowd surfers come cause they might fall on u just push them over. be prepared to be smooshed lol. the limited amount of space and air youll have might be overwhelming what i do is before they come on is close my eyes and do some breathing excercises lol but once they come on youll 4get about all that. if u get sucked into the moshpit just start attacking people haha. fight ur way out. And just have fun!

when pushing use your hips and use your bodyweight to squirm between people. pretty much if anyone tries to get past you during intermissions elbow them in the stomach, i did that when i saw mcr on australia day. that 18yr old didnt apriciate it much but he stopped pushing after about five. pretty much if you get pushed get the people next to you to help push back.

every experience is different, stories don't mean anything about what will happen to you, it just depends who you're around. so I wouldn't sell tickets just by reading from a message board.

So last night, I went to Projekt Revolution. I think there was really only one crazy thing that happened at the revolution stage, which was this girl was crowd surfing and all of the sudden the crowd broke and the girl landed on the ground hard. She was out cold.. pretty scary.
The Main Stage was insane! In Julien-K, I was only about 4 rows of people back from the fence, and all of the sudden this drunk old lady comes into the mosh pit yelling,"My son is here somewhere! But I like this band more than he does." and then proceeds to stand next to me, clinging onto my arm. The girl next to me's fiance and my dad were like getting hit on my her and all.. it was gross. So finally she stumbles out of the mosh pit, about to puke. That was the strangest thing that night.
Let's see, after Placebo and HIM came on, it was before Taking Back Sunday. Suddenly everyone in the back was trying to push through and shit, and that was making me get pushed through between two rows in front of me. (It wasn't even like I was doing it on purpose, it was out of control, literally.) The girl to the right of me got pissed off and began screaming at me in spanish and pushing me hard, which made me get really pissed off and I shoved her back to the right and basically an elbow shoving contest began.. It would of been like that the rest of the show if my dad hadn't pushed me forward more so I was in front of her to the left.
It was okay through the TBS show, maybe with a bit of pushing from the back, but when MCR was setting up people were literally NUTS. Everyonefrom the front to the middle of the mosh pit was getting shoved forward, which included me and my dad, and so everyone around me and myself were trying to push them back.. which resulted in us getting crushed even further. Everyone was screaming for them the shove back but it didn't work that much at all.
I think the last of it that was kinda funny was that everyone was dying of thirst because we had to stay in the mosh pit for 4 hours to get to the front, so everyone was screaming "Water! Water!". Finally Frank tossed waterbottles into the crowd and splashed us a bit. XD I wish I caught one of those bottles. Razz
I must say I really liked a lot of the people around me, they were really nice and helped me out because it was my first time in a mosh pit. Very Happy

Yesterday was Projekt Revolution.
For the Revolution Stage, I got barricade. It wasn't bad at all...until MSI came on. As they were setting up, the security dudes were spraying us with a hose, and I got soaked. People were squeezing next to me and behind me and eventually in front of me. I didn't want to get too far back because I'm short, so I was still hanging onto the barricade. I had to let go, because my arm was being squished and this dude next to me kept pushing me away. A LOT of people were crowd surfing, and eight people crowd surfed at the same time in the same area. I got kicked in the head, elbowed, and everything else that usually happens.

And that is my first pit experience.

Hehe, i work well in moshpits. Even though i'm kinda frail and tall, i'm really quite bony which makes it so much easier to elbow and hip my way to the front. Especially my hips. If someone hits me there they hit nothing but bone!
I remember when i saw MCR the day before Aus Day the guys with hoses were going nuts and so was the crowd. I got sprayed so bad.
This guy behind me was mouthing off to them and said things like 'What ever happened to the water restrictions, mate?!' and the hose guy gestured for me to duck, which i did, and he sprayed the guy right in the face! They were funny guys, if not a little annoying.

Too bad i got seated tickets for Nov 3o though. Aw well, a shows a show.

I Absolutly love hearing about the mosh pits and their storys!Its awesome and i them more than fan fictions please post any storys from the pits you have had here!Thanx!


aha ermmm the first time i was in a mosh pit was at this gig battle of hte bands or something and when my friends band came on me and my friend though oh lets get right to the front in the middle so we can see them. and by that time it had only been a few bands and there was no moshing. then my friends band started and it really got the crowd going and me and my fried were right in the middle of the mosh pit and we spent the whole time grabbing onto the front rail so we didnt get squashed. then my other friend got a bit ermmm excited and jumped onto this other guys back and somehow kind of ended up kneeing him in the face and this fight started. so we thought ok kets out out of the mosh so we let go of the rail and couldnt get out cos we were right in the middle of it and were getting thrown around. and somehow we found our way out of it.

haha it was so funny

I went to a paramore mtv live taping in july that was a pretty sick concert. I waited online for 9 hours but that didnt really matter once u got in people were all over the friggin place. i started out 4th row these girls infront of me flipped out cause of the pushing and left so then everyone saw the opening and i went for it and everyone behind me went for it and here i go flying into the person infront of me just as hayley the singer comes to our side haha it was so funny she made a face like these crazy people. i made it to the 2nd row and stayed there all night! i got into two fights with girls just wanting my spot i fought to the death with them pushing and shoving then i just repeatedly elbowed them in the stomach and they went away haha. then stupid moshing i wouldnt even call it moshing more like just act like an idiot and knock everyone over so basically it was four rows of just smooshed people mosh pit then the more quiet calm people spread out in the back haha. the whole crowd was just there to fight seriously lol the guy i went with girls were kicking the shit out of him hes a nice guy so he didnt wanna like hit them or nething so he just kept pushing them off him. one girl was really bothering him and like being an animal hitting him just out of control she had a camera in her hands so i pushed it out of her hands haha i was like take that!!!! then she went to the ground to find it and everyone pushed passt her never saw her again.

At The Used concert i went to a girl pulled out a bottle of water from her bag to get a drink, and the second she got it out of her bag EVERYONE just snatched it off her and started drinking it and within a few seconds the bottle was chucked back at her empty, i felt so sorry for her! The poor girl didn't even get a sip!!
