This is the modern equivalent of Rage Against the Machine causing a mini earthquake in the Netherlands with Killing In The Name Of
I remember this! I even were there to take part in it!
I wish I was, but I was only 6.
Smartwatch makers should make “moshpit mode.”
You’re actually onto something. There should be a pause for xx hours for events that could trigger false alarms
Could be worse, could be one of the world’s most renowned metal bands with a moshing ban.
that concert looks lame as hell
No tasers? What a fucking joke!
mace always spices it up
That’s been stated in festival rules for years. Warped tour in 2010 had huge banners saying no moshing off to the sides of the stages. It’s a liability thing
Are they enforcing those declarations now?
I may not agree with moshing, but crowd surfers can get entirely fucked.
The venue my (now) wife and I went to all the time when we were kids allowed both, and the only injuries is or our friends ever got was from crows surfers. My wife alone got kicked in the head at at least 4 different shows. It was so bad that at one point I ended up yeeting a surfer like a shotput 3 or 4 people farther forward to protect her from the 3rd hit of that night.
I am apparently the multiverse version of this guy. Can confirm.
Moshing is voluntary and most injuries sustained are from willing participants.
Crowd surfing is dangerous because there’s an entire show there people are watching. They’re not looking for some dickhead’s boot to come whizzing past their ear and into their partners head.
It’s also no fun because there is an insane amount of non consensual contact. On both sides. I don’t want to touch your ass but if you’ve been lobbed in my direction I don’t always get to choose because I need to keep an off balance portion of 135 pounds with momentum in an overhead press or the person beside me will get crushed by a scared flying idiot.
I also choose this guy’s wife’s head
Can’t even use tasers, chains and knives? Boring
But how do you want to ban moshing? Have loads of security guys join in the mosh pit to drag moshers out?
If I cannot mosh, and I’m not allowed to sit on a lawn chair, what the fuck else am I supposed to do there?

Lol- this is just a bigger mosh pit. The fools!
“yeah, so since people won’t stop creating a mosh pit, the current band is canceled and we will only be playing classical music from now on. Thank you.”
Time to mosh harder to the classical out of spite!
Bach knows how to rock
My hardest concussion came from a dude coming out of nowhere with his head forward in a slayer pit. While I was in a dead sprint going against another dude that had agreed to do a run bump and was in a dead sprint with me. This other dude showed up and I took a temple shot from his forehead. My buddy said I stood up and didn’t fall over but you could see I was knocked out. Wildest shit ever. I can actually understand the ban. In the days before hand. Doing a wall of death was legit damage to an unprepared individual. I knocked peoples ribs out of place defending myself with my forearms. I broke a buddies leg
Lots of venues say that but don’t do anything to stop it. I always figured it’s just legal ass-covering
To be fair, It looks like that was the organizers decision
If bands wouldn’t stand for it, it would stop happening. Brass tacks, these fuckers played hundreds or maybe even thousands of show without this kind of pathetic collaring of the crowd. Give your money to Gwar, they’ll let your crowd surf, and spray you with fake blood and cum after decapitating an effigy of the current POTUS.
Yeah, not sure about that one. I work in the industry and sometimes these are last minute changes that no one gets told about. That or the host is worried about liability and will straight up cancel the show. Slayer is not as big as they once were, they’re in much less of a position to turn down gigs.
I remember my own company blacklisted slipknot after they kept throwing drumsticks into the crowd and ended up hitting someone or another’s girlfriend in the face. Our company literally turned the lights off and stopped the show.
That’s not what got them blacklisted though. The lead guy got pissed and decided to get blackout drunk and then piss in one of the cases containing stage lights
Fuck slipknot!

wait…you specified the blood is fake, but not the cum? I’m in!
Whats bad is that list misses so much stuff that’s worse than a mosh pit.
Like, have you ever see a venue after the crowd decides to have an impromptu orgy? Takes days to get the jizz out of the rafters
I don’t see guns on that list.
I also don’t see cow heads. There’s no rule stopping you from slaughtering a cow, decapitating it, and then bringing the still blood dripping head of a cow. Not that anyone WOULD do that. But, ya know…there’s no rule.
Safety trainers say “these rules were written in blood.”
That one definitely would be.
