    Ah man. I forgot about Iron Maiden, Motorhead, and Dio in '03.
    Dio had just left the stage and we were waiting for Iron Maiden to come on. For some reason, all of these goofy punk rock idiots decided to fuck with my friend Jeff (who is about 6'3, 220lbs). I guess Jeff finally had enough because the next second, I turned around, and the five guys I was there with were beating the living hell out of about twenty punk rock kids. A few of them were carried out on stretchers. Jeff's jaw was broken, but since security understood that the other group of people had initiated the fight, he gave him a choice to either stay and see Maiden or go to the hospital. Of course, he chose Maiden.

    RATM during the 1st Tibetan freedom concert. Right as the Shrooms hit, RATM came on. I looked around & I was dead center of the main pit. I vividly remember hearing the 1st notes of "People of the Sun" and realized I was fucked!

    For those that are going to Coachella and are going to be up front. The first 15 seconds of when RATM comes on will be the scariest moment of your life(In a good way :D )

    Alright. Bring your Rosary beads and ammonia tablets. You'll need them.

    Seriously, the last time I saw them ('02), three people died in the parking lot. One from heat exhaustion and two from drug overdoses.

    Fishbone at The Republik in Calgary, 1995. Craziest mosh pit I've ever seen. The place only held about 500 people, and it must have been way over-capacity, because we were jammed in there like sardines. It was ridiculous. Great show though.

    Crazy as in??? Well I'll go with crowd wise. ;) That's no contest. It would have to be KORN & ROB ZOMBIE. Things were ok when Rob took the stage, but as soon as Korn came out?? Mother fucker. Crowd was INSANE!! We were sitting up in the side seats and people were literally gettin TOSSED up there from the floor. :eek: People just flying above you with bloody faces and shit. Every direction you'd look there'd be flying bodies. Wether they were coming towards us, or people were tossing them back into the pit. It was NUTS!! To this day that floor is the craziest one I've ever seen. Wow! Watching it break into several smaller pits...this giant mass of people just marching around as one huge, violent force. It was complete craziness. I'd never witnessed anything like that before and I can't say I wish to again. :p

    Craziest? It's a toss up:

    Dodging floor fans and mic stands at a Dillinger Escape Plan show or the hands-down most brutal pit I've ever seen at a Life Of Agony show.

    1st Tibetan Freedom show when RATM took the stage was out of control. The largest circle pits I've ever seen. Plus they were sooo intense.


    SP in 93 at a small club called La Luna. Everyone was packed in there, some guy behind me started licking the back of my head :eek: I gave him a reverse headbutt and his nose started spewing blood everywhere.


    Blind Melon / PJ / Neil Young in 93
    Worked my way to Front row through a mosh pit of 20,000 people. Hardest work I've ever done.

    back in the 80's people used to bring fireworks in all the time but this one RUSH show in buffalo was really bad. i had floor seats and usually it was only small time fireworks. this show had a huge amount of m-80's and t-2000's big bangers were being thrown down all night one here one there huge blasts. i saw a couple people get what looked like an ear blown off and back then was hair-ville every guy and chick had hairspray galore going on and a few got engulfed in flames from the blasts. i had a tough time watching the show because i had to keep watching out for sparks coming down.. the only way to tell it was coming at you..so about halfway through i see it coming straight at me a huge trail of spark...and i dive on top of a shitload of people to get out of the way... it turned out to be a drink cup someone lit and not a bomb....embarrassing moment but the people understood why i dove on them :)
    Oh dear dad
    Can you see me now
    I am myself
    Like you somehow
    I'll ride the wave
    Where it takes me
    I'll hold the pain
    Release me

    Ryan Adams about a year ago- if you have seen ryan adams in the past year or so, you will know what i mean.. he was a little in his words "volatile", i also got punched by some other woman who was off her face and thought i was starring at her; so yes a stupid fight insteed of listening to shakedown on 9th street, wasn't a great night.
    I'm not into really death metal or anything so this is about my limit.

    I'm gonna quote myself because I just found a video of it.

    I remember being close to the FSUN sign in the pit. Absolutely nuts. You can see the circle pits forming.

    I think the craziest show i went to was disturbed in December 05 at the electric factory. It was my first time there, and I love Disturbed so I was excited.

    I went backstage to meet the band *for the second time*, and they signed some shit for me. Then while going out to the front, I saw a guy without his shirt... I turned to my friends and went "wait.. .is he green?" It was Lizardman.

    It was fuckin awesome, he posed for a pic with me and my friends...

    then at the show he did some crazy shit + the show was just amazing.

    Also, the BEST concert I went to was a few weeks ago, it was Aaron Lewis doing just acoustic. So damn amazing... I loved when he sung black and stuff.
