I'm with you Thrice. I used to be a pit monkey myself, but when I met my girlfriend she wanted to come along with me, now she was only 5'2 and a strong wind could knock her down, so I couldn't exactly leave her where the elbows were flying, it's not fair on her. So we used to stand near the front where she could see the band, and drool over them no doubt, and it's tough to enjoy a gig when some idiot smacks you in the back of the neck every two minutes.

Yeah...I was at Warped watching a band that was not worth moshing over and the drunk frat boys had to be *******s and mosh in front and **** with everyone that wasnt doing it...it was just lame.

i hate going to gigs and all the old bogans start a pit. you know the type, the 30 yr old skinheads that would have been into grunge ten years ago. they leave their wives and kids at home to act tough in front of the younger people. the lowest of those guys even try to pick up with girls 15yrs younger than them. i once saw a guy take off his wedding ring, give it to his mate and go to try and chat up somebody younger than me. how low can they get?

One gig I was at with my ex there was a drunk guy who kept trying to grab my girlfriend's butt. Now, she hated violence, and kept telling me to leave it, thinking that he would eventually get bored. Instead, he kept turning round to his friends and telling them what a great ass the blond chick had, so I saw red, turned around and floored him. Next thing I knew two security guys dived on top of me, and were about to kick us out until a couple of guys who had seen the whole thing told them the full story.

The guy was out cold though, I rule.
