I was at reading this year, went down for the day to see Maiden play there. Waited through the day and alot of bands which i really dident like at all. Finally after a set by manson. MAIDEN!! MAIDEN!!! I couldent belive it!

But the moshing was INTENSE... i've been to alot of gigs with intense moshing but this took the biscuit. i'm a big guy at 6' 3" and i can handle myself but sheer pressure of the crowd on me and the heat was incredible. I strugled to keep upright and breathing properly for the whole night there. Moshers just really ruined my evening... i scrimped and saved to get there i really did... but i had to follow my freind out who got his head bashed and lip bleeding by a crowd surfer. So i had to follow him out of the pit. But i wanted to be there so much... in the pit rocking to maiden. I was just feet away from mr steve harris himself during the trooper. Enjoying the music... only to have it ruined by moshing crowd surfing kids who think its cool.

Sorry rant over
