There is an etiquette??

Not punching people in the face, not kicking people, that sort of thing.
And, in one noteable instance, not having ball bearings woven into your hair whilst helicoptering wildly.

Edit: Please assume I've placed the above response under Stunned's post, and the following under yours:

Yes.

Ta.

Oof, fucking hell.
The best helicoptering/windmilling I've seen is done by this guy

That one was in a club in Southampton. I went to visit a friend when I saw that one.
He tells me that the next week she'd added razor blades to it.

Mosh pits can be fun and part of that fun is how rough they are, but I don't understand the desire of some people to actually maim others.

I've never understood that either
Some of my more recent gigs have just been dangerous, I got elbowed hard in the eye at one a few months back, that was a bit of a shock, as I'd been in there for rough 0.5 seconds when it hit. The guy just moved off, didn't say a word.

On the other hand, seeing Carcass a few years back, one guy was running, stumbled, and smacked me (hard), in the face. I think only adrenaline kept me standing, any other time he'd have knocked me on my arse. He immediately apologised, asked if I was OK, and offered to buy me a pint.

The stuff people think they can get away with is outrageous
I know a girl that made the mistake of wearing a skirt in one once.

She didn't make that mistake again and didn't go into another mosh pit, either.

What happened?
*hopes it's pervy*
(Set your faces to Stunned Bigly, Thu 8 Sep 2011, 12:56, Reply)

It is. She got groped.

( Kroney, Thu 8 Sep 2011, 12:57, Reply)

And I'd do it again, given half a chance.

It was my girlfriend.
I wasn't actually at that concert, much to my regret.
( Kroney, Thu 8 Sep 2011, 13:00, Reply)

Oof, even worse.

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Thu 8 Sep 2011, 13:02, Reply)

Innit
I'd have told her not to wear a fucking skirt, for starters :P
( Kroney, Thu 8 Sep 2011, 13:03, Reply)

Did she have any knickers on?

(Set your faces to Stunned Bigly, Thu 8 Sep 2011, 13:08, Reply)

Yeah she did. I don't think the guy respected the rules of second base, though.
IF you know what I mean.
( Kroney, Thu 8 Sep 2011, 13:10, Reply)

Too right!
I'd have fucked her.
(Set your faces to Stunned Bigly, Thu 8 Sep 2011, 13:11, Reply)

It's not a proper rape
unless you get your back wheels in.
( Kroney, Thu 8 Sep 2011, 13:14, Reply)

Let's not turn this rape into a murder.

(Set your faces to Stunned Bigly, Thu 8 Sep 2011, 13:19, Reply)

Nice one.
Mosh pit+fingerpie=top night.
(Set your faces to Stunned Bigly, Thu 8 Sep 2011, 13:00, Reply)

I hear you're getting fingered at Monty's bash

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Thu 8 Sep 2011, 13:05, Reply)

Not a bash if it's not digitally invasive.

(Set your faces to Stunned Bigly, Thu 8 Sep 2011, 13:06, Reply)

No unless someone else steps in to help.
I only have 2 hands and they are booked.

You've got feets. don't you?

( Kroney, Thu 8 Sep 2011, 13:07, Reply)

I won't pretend I'm not disappointed.

(Set your faces to Stunned Bigly, Thu 8 Sep 2011, 13:08, Reply)

It's a lack of commitment, is what it is.

( Kroney, Thu 8 Sep 2011, 13:09, Reply)

Lazy.

(Set your faces to Stunned Bigly, Thu 8 Sep 2011, 13:11, Reply)

It's fucking ridiculous
The last pit I was in was to this, at Sonisphere. Absolutely spectacular.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Thu 8 Sep 2011, 12:58, Reply)

Seems reasonable.

(Set your faces to Stunned Bigly, Thu 8 Sep 2011, 12:46, Reply)
