im curious about something

[Death_Matt_al]

who invented the moshpit?

[Gnomez]

It was the mash.....it was the monster mash
What a great old sing that is

[MVP]

Me!

[???????FIRSTOZZYFAN???????]

I saw it originate and evolve through late 70`s era punk show from SLAM dancing into the more controlled and structured "MOSHING" later in the early eighties with actual guidelines and loosely structured rules based on respect.
My perspective was from east coast New York and New Jersey scenes in punk rock which later evolved into commonplace occurances at metal shows......but thats just me.
 I didnt do any of it until I realized there were actual rules of engagement.
 Now I just watch and take action shot pictures of it.
 I was nearly killed at a Primus mosh pit,..most pits are tame enough to get involved in if you have the confidence to know what youre doing and keep your head,...literally.::laugh::sinister::looking::animatedlaugh

Black Sabbath invented the mosh, along with everything else metal.

Well,... I would describe the flurry of activity at most early Black Sabbath shows as PANDEMONIUM::sinister::laugh::animatedlaugh

There are rules of engagement!!!???
WTF
I saw Maiden at Concord last year....these big bikers looked seriously pissed with all the young dudes moshing and whenver they got pushed or shoved or someone bumped into them, they would grab the little fella by the scruff of the neck and hurl them back into the middle
I think they made their own rules ::animatedlaugh
