Pit Etiquette

the_syco

Aye, the SFX, with the off-license opposite it... A few bottles beforehand (it was an all-ages Type O Negative gig), the mosh pit was cool, and back in them days, if you crowd surfed over the barrier, you'd be sent to the back, and not just tossed out.

Elbows allowed in a pit, jesus like Elbows are a major no no, i seen some of the older guys kick the **** outta some of the younger guys for usin em.When elbows come into the equation someones going home with there face ****ed up, if its an accident fine but deliberite(yea i know i cant spell) use of the elbows is just being a dickhead.

O yea and as for skiked wristbands, They have no place in the pit not only can they seriously **** people up but they can **** up the wearer too.

Generally elbows are a completely no-no in pits, cept the Slayer example given or other similar extreme bands.

You know what I meant : )...and what sort of bands/pits would deem elbows to be a no-no in?

Funny, as the only bands I'd be watching would be the "other similar extreme bands", tbh.

You tit, the point is, while you're running around the pit swinging your elbows thinking your hot ****, you fail to notice that no-one is impressed, and you would infact find the majority of people there frowning upon you.
Think about it if that's not too hard for you.

Thats your point, not THE point.

There is a obvisously a differnce between the types of pits people have experince with in this thread. Extreme metal = extreme pits.

Etiquette in a mosh pit seems like a bit of an oximoron to me! I'd definitely agree with the don't mash up against those in the front three rows, as I've been there before, and felt like I've had ribs broken! Thought a lot of what was said was funny though

Ah ye crazy rockers yis.
