those pre-internet hardcore punk shows.In the 90s I would go to punk rock shows and get in the mosh pits. There would be the aggressive assholes hurting people and those that would pick people up so you don’t get trampled. I went to a social distortion show somewhere in the late 20 teens. Some dude was starting shit security was taking him out he was trying to hit anyone he could in the crowd. Security bear hugged his ass so he wouldn’t hit hit anyone else and eventually they both dropped. His teeth and blood were all over the floor and you could hear the head hit the concrete floor just as social d comes out. I got it on video and then just right back to filming the show with his teeth and blood on the floor.The sound of his face hitting the floor is as loud as the show. I used to be able to grab iPhone pics and videos from the older phones but apparently they don’t have the feature anymore. The same show some lady came out of the pit she wasn’t trying to be in and someone punched her in the nose.
Yea thats a different world all together. Socially thats more like being in a rioting protest then a music show in my experience
still, a good time as long as you wanted to be there though lmao. Hardcore punk shows have been the only shows that have left me uncomfortable a time or twice withwhat was going on.
Oh, deftones too, their shows are insane. Im good on another deftones show. People were literally trying to burn the entire ampitheater down, and they werent even upset with anything, they were all just having a blast. People stripping naked and puring liqor on themselves and burning piles of women's bras and underwear. Straight up depravity lol. Saw em in a club couple years after that ampitheater show and the energy and atmosphere was basically exactly the same. Even when things were calm, something about being at their show felt violent, and kinda dirty. It was similar to chilling at a friend's place you hang out at a lot, then realizing all of a sudden one day, theyre selling heroine out the kitchen window because a fight breaks out in the backyard or something. Love the band, but man, not my crowd in the slightest lmao.
