LOL), and the rules were all 'NO MOSHING', and no one did it. Which was cool. I dont Mosh or anything... I dont headbang either, actually. </p> <p>Also, to Retroman- blood spat over you? Hehe, my friends' sister, at The Hole in the Sky concert in Norway, and Akrokoke... Or something. Were doing this flame-eater trick. I've seen them do it before, actually, my friend showed me a video, he's good at it, lol. But not this time. He choked up, and dropped the can of gasoline. Went all over this girl. And some people had lighters and stuff, haha, lighting cigarettes and all. They took her out and put her back stage, 'cause she'd explode. </p> <p>She's now a personal friend to all the members of that band <img src='http://glamrock.com/forum/bb-images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p> <p>Personally I wouldn't stage dive, lol. But I dont see it as stupid as Moshing or anything. It'd be cool if they did it like they do in the movies, were the guitarist from the band jumps onto the crowd mid-solo. <img src='http://glamrock.com/forum/bb-images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/glam-lifestyle-forum/stage-diving#post-27769 Thu, 17 Dec 2009 22:40:21 +0000 LEATHUR 27769@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>A year ago I was at a show to see Nine Inch Nails,and trying to be as close as possible to the stage but there was a stupid pit (slam pit).I was wearing a minidress.Not a top and a miniskirt.Well some jackass strong guy pushed me in the fracas,and a security guard trying to help me get out of it pulled me by both hands.Then people or one person in the crowd,yanked my dress hemline up to my NECK.Exposing my thonged backside.I saw flashes from the damn cellphone cameras.There wasn't anything I could do about it.I HAD gone to the show wearing a studded belt but security was confiscating all studded belts,made us chek them,OTHERWISE a belt woulda stopped the dress yanking somewhat.Okay my ass would still be exposed but.....would you believe when I related this tale on other rock forums I actually got dissed by others (chicks mostly) because I chose to wear a short hemline.</p> <p> I don't wear pants.Especially not at shows.I go to shows alone,I don't bring a bodyguard (also known as a date).Blame the victim right.</p> <p>Security should restrain peoples bad behaviour.Meaning no damn pits.No damn stagediving or surfing.People get kicked in the face.</p> <p>What the fuck's wrong with people!!!!!!! </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/glam-lifestyle-forum/stage-diving#post-27761 Thu, 17 Dec 2009 19:31:14 +0000 Retroman 27761@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>I've seen some crazy shit at gigs and festivals. I've done crowd surfing but not always had a choice in the matter as a group of meat heads at a London Motorhead gig once decided to throw me forward for the role and that's not the first time.</p> <p>I remember being on the front row of a busy Cradle Of Filth gig and it rained goth girls for most of the show... yes I know - the tart I was sleeping with liked em!</p> <p>One of the members from Slipknot jumped off the first floor balcony at a Wolverhampton show...</p> <p>I've had blood spat at me from the frontman of Dimmu Borgir (Shagrath) and the kid next to me hosed down. You get to see a lot of different shit at festivals. These goth chicks are bad, bad, wicked <img src='http://glamrock.com/forum/bb-images/smilies/icon_evil.gif' alt=':evil:' class='wp-smiley' /> </p> <p>Don't even ask about Rockbitch and my ex girlfriend...</p> <p>All I can say is that it's a great feeling coming off the stage after your own gig and shaking peoples hands. </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/glam-lifestyle-forum/stage-diving#post-21847 Mon, 09 Feb 2009 23:44:33 +0000 StillRocking 21847@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>I have never been into stage diving or any related activities at concerts. When I go to concerts, it is for the music, and not to play dare devil, or to look cool, although I do have friends who are into that stiff. </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/glam-lifestyle-forum/stage-diving#post-21826 Mon, 09 Feb 2009 16:32:37 +0000 niki 21826@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>I have known a couple of people to do this but only one of them ended up falling and broke his arm.

Here's a show I went to last night. It was pretty cool, but I'm still fucken sore from last night.

Fuck I used to not care back awhile ago but now I am 10 years past 18 and I don't want to get sued/arrested. I love the rush of "will they catch me or not?" Its the adrenaline. There has been a couple of times I have ate floor but that possibility of danger really gets the blood running, kind of like car racing. </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/glam-lifestyle-forum/stage-diving#post-16056 Sun, 13 Jul 2008 17:42:39 +0000 LEATHUR 16056@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>I think moshing/slam "dancing" is STUPID.It hurts others aroud the "pit" who justwannas watch the band and watch cute people <img src='/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p> <p> Stage diving also is,to me,stupid and dangerous.</p> <p> If people wanna be adventurous,they should charm the panties offa some hotties.</p> <p> As a related anecdote,I had an acquaintance who used to get parts in rock videos and do a bit of acting work and "extra" crap....he got cast in a punk rock video.</p> <p> This guy did an impromptu stage dive.</p> <p> (Stuff is normally choreographed and rehearsed on video shooots.).</p> <p> Nobody caught the guy.He hit his head on concrete.</p> <p> Theres fine print on our "vouchers" (how ya get paid at these things) that states,if you get injured they do a blood drug n alcohol test.</p> <p> Long story short.Dude had pot and booze in his system.</p> <p> Dude is now blacklisted.Workmens compensatiojn, plus most studios, do not like taking risks like that.It affects their ability to get financing and insurance.</p> <p> IN MY OPINION.....concerts are for making LOVE not mischief! </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/glam-lifestyle-forum/stage-diving#post-16013 Sat, 12 Jul 2008 20:38:03 +0000 KaylaRules 16013@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <blockquote><p>"<br /> <blockquote>"I will be the odd one out and say that i think it looks super fun. it looks so fun!! and who wouldnt be happy about a hot guy lifting you off your feet?? <img src='http://glamrock.com/forum/bb-images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif' alt=':mrgreen:' class='wp-smiley' /> "<br /><strong>- KaylaRules</strong></p></blockquote> <p>It's all about the Guys isn't it Kayla? <img src='http://glamrock.com/forum/bb-images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=':wink:' class='wp-smiley' /> "<br /><strong>- RcksAngl</strong></p></blockquote> <p>ALWAYS </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/glam-lifestyle-forum/stage-diving#post-16012 Sat, 12 Jul 2008 19:03:07 +0000 RcksAngl 16012@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <blockquote><p>"I will be the odd one out and say that i think it looks super fun. it looks so fun!! and who wouldnt be happy about a hot guy lifting you off your feet?? <img src='http://glamrock.com/forum/bb-images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif' alt=':mrgreen:' class='wp-smiley' /> "<br /><strong>- KaylaRules</strong></blockquote> It's all about the Guys isn't it Kayla? <img src='http://glamrock.com/forum/bb-images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=':wink:' class='wp-smiley' /> </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/glam-lifestyle-forum/stage-diving#post-16009 Sat, 12 Jul 2008 17:29:44 +0000 KaylaRules 16009@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>I will be the odd one out and say that i think it looks super fun. it looks so fun!! and who wouldnt be happy about a hot guy lifting you off your feet?? <img src='http://glamrock.com/forum/bb-images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif' alt=':mrgreen:' class='wp-smiley' /> </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/glam-lifestyle-forum/stage-diving#post-16008 Sat, 12 Jul 2008 17:09:57 +0000 SOLA 16008@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p><strong>A little history on moshing/stage diving...let me put my reading glasses on...lol.

And in the 90's when grunge &#38; flannel took over...their audience adopted it and it lost it's credability...cause from there it became the popular thing to do.

Obviously written by someone who hasn't done it before but nevertheless, has an opinion.</p> <p>If you saw School of Rock when Jack Black did a stage dive, hit the floor, got up, dusted himself off. Well, that's about the extent of it.</p> <p>People couldn't really climb but stages that are more than 8' off the ground. It ain't a long way to fall and the injuries wouldn't be much more than a bruised pride! </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/glam-lifestyle-forum/stage-diving#post-866 Sat, 20 Oct 2007 11:41:27 +0000 Syndrome477 866@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>Very risky.<br /> Not enough of a rush to risk having my face fall apart from my skull. </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/glam-lifestyle-forum/stage-diving#post-853 Sat, 20 Oct 2007 02:36:38 +0000 RockNeverDies 853@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>Never had the urge to stage-dive, and somehow I doubt that I will anytime soon.

It is an insult to a band and to music. It's stupid, dangerous and disrespectful to your health and to those of others around. </p> <p>There is no place for it in glam rock or metal.
