has anyone got hurt in a Mosh Pit?

[Nightrafe]

The pit is were we live, when I go to metal gigs, you can always find me in the pit. Not when I go to hardcore events, I'm not so into two-stepping

I've had my nose bloodied more than once.

There's a gig
At 5th and Main
Gonna catch the bus
Or take the train
We'll steal or find
Or borrow cash
And we'll be there
Ready to thrash

The band kickes in
They begin to rage
No-man's land
In front of the stage
Poseurs in the bathroom
Still looking at their hair
Thrashers in the foreground
Doing what they dare

In the pit

Thrashing and slamming
Like hell in the pit
Tomorrow they know
May not come
Banging and moshing
Like they don't give a shit
To the rapid beat
Of the drum

A boot to your forehead
A knee in your face
Your nose and lips
Start to bleed
Like a wild Indian
From outer space
Drunk and
High on weed

Guitar seems so fucking loud
People walking on the crowd
Diving off the P.A. stacks
Breaking ankles,necks and backs
Then the circle begins
In the thrashing pit
Fist are flying
People getting hit
Tooth chippers left and right
Skinheads in another fight
Banging heads and broken jaws
Because there are no laws

In the pit

Then you start thrashing
Like never before
Stagediving, headwalking like mad
Doing your thing
All over the floor
The best time that you've ever had

You are hurt all over
But can't feel a thing
Not until the next day
Then you wake up
Stiff as a board
And the pain won't go away

Another gig at 5th and Main
We'll catch the bus
Or take the train
We'll steal or find
Or borrow cash
And we'll be there
Ready to thrash

In the pit

Moshing came from the Psychobilly and Punk crowd.
Psychos call it wrecking and it's been around for a lot of years now , I once got a black eye about 10 seconds after getting on the floor.
Rules of Wrecking are:
Have fun
Never try to injure another wrecker
If someone falls then the nearest people pick him up .
Anyone trying to cause injuries is forced out.
If you can't take it don't get in.

Safe Wrecking everyone, you can call it moshing if ya want but it will always be The Mutant Wrecking Krew for me.

Now, psychocat knows what they are talking about..

It is just dancing in a different form..punk started this shit a long time ago..in the late 70's, early 80's..it has morphed many times but always came back to the originall..just a way for people to get their aggresion out and feel better..

PUNKS NOT DEAD!

also psychocat, I have stared at that sig..so many times..I love the cramps.
