Rock n roll

Today, my friends and I got front stage tickets to our favorite band. Being my first concert, we planned to start a small mosh pit in the back. I got knocked out by my best friend's elbow and was rushed to the hospital, during the first song. FML

Today, I went to a concert for the first time in 5 years. I got all dressed up and even ended up hanging out with the band. The night came to a screeching halt when I got a migraine and ended up in the ER vomiting non-stop. I was in the hospital all night. FML

Today, my band was playing its first serious gig. I was in the middle of a solo when a drunk guy tackled me, causing me to crash into the drums, breaking them and my guitar, hitting our drummer, knocking him out. FML

Today, I went to a local concert. The singer from my favorite band stage-dived and I got to catch him. Unfortunately I was the only one to catch him. The next thing I know I'm pinned between him and the concrete floor as he finishes whatever part of the song he was on. He was fine, I hit my head. FML

Today, after saving up my money for weeks, I went to see my favorite artist in concert with my friends. Two songs in, I passed out, hit my head, and had to have someone drive me home. FML

Today, I went to see my favorite band. It was all amazing and great until I decided to go crowd surfing. I was maybe too heavy because people jumped away instead of catching me. I fell right on my tailbone. FML

Today, my band played its first real gig. It was going well, and I, the vocalist, thought it would be a good idea to stage dive. I underestimated the distance between the stage and the crowd and crashed into the floor. FML

Today, I went to a huge rock concert. While waiting in a half a mile long line to get in, I passed out due to the heat. I regained consciousness to hear about a hundred people yelling and trying to help me. My boyfriend, who I went with, was not one of them. FML

Today, I went to a concert. One of my favorite bands was performing, and I'd had the ticket for seven months, with a great seat for the show. It was all going perfectly, that is until a guy twice my height sat in front of me. FML

Thanks for the memories

By savanna - 03/05/2012 04:46 - United States

Today, it was the concert of my life. I had bought tickets the minute they went on sale, and I'd anxiously waited until the concert date. Thirty minutes before the show, my friend got so drunk that we weren't allowed in, and I was stuck babysitting her all night in the hotel, completely missing the show. FML

Today, I had my first gig with my new band. I was concentrating on my guitar during the second song when I tripped over the singer's microphone cable, hit my head on the bass drum, and blacked out. When I came to, people were applauding, apparently thinking it was part of the act. FML

104 - You shouldn't base your entire opinion about something on ONE bad experience. What happened to you was horrible, but most people aren't like that at concerts. I've fallen down in a mosh pit before and I wasn't down for more than 2 seconds before I had at least 3 people helping me up.

YDI. It's your fault for being friends with a guy/girl who thinks that his/her elbow and your head should be connected.

I'd say roffle's experience exemplifies the problem with mosh pits pretty well. It's fine if everyone knows the dangers and still consents, but isn't the whole point to kind of get out of control? When the frenzy is allowed to reach a certain point, people who don't consent can get involved unintentionally, and possibly seriously hurt. One of the best shows I've seen had an excellent solution for this. It was an outdoor festival, and a few songs in, the band asked the lights focused on the stage to be dimmed, and the lights focused on the crowd in front to be brightened. They watched the pits and the crowd, and managed to continue playing while asking for water or alerting a pit when it got dangerously manic. I don't care for that band's music, but I really respect their humility and concern for their fans.

From what I can gather from this thread, moshpits sound... retarded.

moshing is a way for a bunch of angry kids to let all there anger out on each other and then be able to give each other a hug at the end, but I will agree drunk people ruin mosh pits

If you go see a band live that is the type to have mosh pits, then you know what to expect so all the complainers can shut the **** up. You're as bad as the dudes that bring their girlfriends to the front of the stage and get pissed off that they get hit.
