The thing that makes me angriest at a show is when you cling to the front bar all night, forgoing drinks, toilets and socialising to be sure you will be up close and personal with your favourite people ... and then some half-witted blow-in decides to spend the entire show punching, pushing and elbowing you, putting you in a chokehold, pulling your hair, spitting at you ... anything to move you away from that bar.

AND they don't really know/like the band.  >:(

Thanks for posting that, I was going to say I've noticed it's mainly American bands that try to force those shenanigans.

Why not make a SQUARE PIT?


Personally, I'd like to see an "X" pit.
Where people would lineup in the 4 corners of the bar, then run into the centre creating a flurry of head clashes, and damaged limbs,lots of blood noses and generally one big mess. Im sure Lamb Of God would really get a kick out of that.

Pits were created in the Bay Area huh ?
I thought it was moshers who wanted a more more dangerous form of ring-ring-a-rosy. :laugh:

Anyway, speaking of circle pits , I heard the NRL is going back to the old slogan of "Thats my Team !". But since Brett Stewart was involved they want to change it slightly to "Thats My Teen !" .   :rofl:

SnnnnnnnnAAAAAAAAAAp.

It's a good idea. But you have to be straight edge to go in it, right??  :P

You'd have to be a fuckin idiot to go in it.







Actually, you might go alright if you go in turned to the side just before collision, leading with your strongest shoulder.
You'd still end up on your ass, due to shear weight of numbers, you'll probably get trampled too. People would be charging in from all sides, so you cant back out.

Bah, there's nothing too bad about circle pits, especially in the open air. I remember watchin' As I Lay Dying at a distance at Wacken (think I was with Smitty or Sean) and the size of the circle pits was fucking ENORMOUS and looked so damn impressive on the big screen. We're talking about 20m+ diameter.

Unless you're some dickhead called Peter Dolving asking for one at nearly 3am ???

circle pits are amusing, but I got bored of that one at in flames after 1 revolution
...and on the other a soldier with a bullet wound in his lower belly and his sphincter shot away so that his faeces are leaking out. The smell of excrement mingles with that of the scorching flesh of the corpses being burned in the distance.

The biggest "circle pit" i've ever seen was at SummerBreeze 08. it was going around and through the crowd and took about 90 seconds to make 1 full revolution, it seemed to go on for hours. :P

In actual fact it was about a thousand people running around in a massive oblong shaped circle around the recording tower and the mosh pit.

Agreed. About as interesting as running in a circle.

Go on, try it. I did, its fucking boring.

Alternatively, form your own circle pit by nailing one foot to the floor.

star picket you and all your mates right or left feet to the floor for ultimate circle pit mayhem  :headbang:

note - all star picketed feet must be from the same side of the body

SOD is the only one who knows anything about anything, judging by this thread.

The rest of you go back to Metal 101.

SOD is correct. Circle pits started in the Bay area & Slayer were one of the first bands to make them a regular event internationally on tour. The Slayer pits were fast & violent.
Circle pits are great when every cunt goes as hard & fast as possible, anyone in front going slower than you who gets in the way gets bulldozed.
A true circle pit is the metal equiv to speedball, the ball is juat an excuse to slam into other like minded willing people as hard as possible as is the circle.
I walked backward unknowingly into a circle pit @ a festival once. Painfully hilarious or was that Hilariously painful. 
Going in the opposite direction is always fun.
Also circle pits on wet stainless steel floors are fucking brutal.

Lamb of God were attempting to get a wall of death happening as they always do for the song Black Label @ Soundwave, but the crowd was too retarded to get it right.
Brutal circle pits are cool but walls of death & X's are way better.

This thread is as good as any to post the following joke.

"I stayed at an upscale hotel recently and I couldn't get the porn channel to
work, so I called down to the desk.
I asked the lady, "Is your porn channel disabled?"


She said, "No, it's just regular porn, you sick bastard" and hung up on me."
