I hate moshing. I will never understand why people pay money to go jump around to music when they could do so for free in their room. I also don't understand why the mosh pit can't be at the back of the room so that those of us who actually want to watch the band play can do so without getting knocked over every 30 seconds.

Seems like a normal mosh pit to me...

Yeah it does but you can see a guy in a white shirt punching someone? look careful, add the &fmt=18 to the address to see it a bit clearer

Moshing. It must be something that those of us who are in the upper regions of the estimated life span will never understand...

Same reason you go outside and be with people for other reasons. Unless I have vastly misunderestimated your social development.

Fine, go see Fernando Ortega and Steve Green. (Both phenomenal in concert, btw. When the Fern-dogg busts out the accordian, it's magic.) Plus, you can eventually watch just about any concert video on Youtube...I don't know...for free in your room?

Personally, I like what they say at Creation Festival every year. "North and south, not east to west" and, "we're here to point people to Jesus, not the local medical center".

I generally don't listen to music like that and there is a limitation in watching youtube videos: I only get to see what the cameraman chooses to show me.

Being with annoying people is so overrated. However as noted, mosh pits do have their value in that you can punch said annoying people and get away with it.

ahhhh the mosh pit, the only place I see the whole population of the town I grew up in, off the tree.
