Alpha I agree with you on this, one should be able to be at any place in the concert without getting or risking anything, after all you do pay for a ticket to see the band/s adn should be able to enjoy the concert wheter your in front row or at some seat not that close to the stage, why anyone thinks its like just ok if people get hurt is beyond me

Well, I'll be heading to Gigantour tomorrow. Should kick some serious arse.Anyhoo, still haven't seen many good bands live yet.
I'm just going to say a few things on Gigantour and how awesome it was.
Bobaflex opened well and Dry Kill Logic followed fairly well. Nevermore was great. Life of Agony was pretty crappy. Dillinger Escape Plan (despite the fact that I hate them) were completely out of place on this tour. I have no idea what was with Dave Mustaine when he put them in. Symphony X didn't f***ing show up, which was just plain weak. They were one of the main reasons I wanted to go. Fear Factory did good for Fear Factory, but I've never liked these guys that much.
Dream Theater was all kinds of awesome (my highlight of the night). They played all their best stuff from As I Am to Endless Sacrifice (though I wished they played Instrumedley). Megadeth was just plain awesome. Cranking out hit after hit with tons of pyrotechnic work, the show was just plain awesome. Dave made a few mistakes, but it was so awesome that I didn't care at all.
Anyway, awesome tour. I hope they do it again next year.

Well, after you trow up, realize this: anyone who goes in the pit at a concert understands that there will be some degree of violence. So your little soccer analogy doesnt work, becuase in this situation it is mutual violence, not one person beating up someone helpless.
You people sound like a bunch of stupid Hardcore Dancers. A pit is to bruise at most. Not to purposely mangle.
Slipknot, don't go to see the new Misfits. Thats a no-no. 😬
I personally have been to a shitload, my favorites would have to be...
Tiger Army
The Unseen
The Adicts.
I've only been to one concert, Hot Hot Heat, Interpol, and Queens of the Stone Age (mostly went to see QOTSA, though Hot Hot Heat was also very good). It was an outdoor concert in a park in Chicago (and was cheap as hell, $15), and it was excellent.
And surprisingly, despite the fact that the majority of the people in the audience was around my age and a little older, and the ones old enough to drink were pretty drunk, there wasn't any moshing or fighting or idiocy.
Well, except for someone throwing a shoe at QOTSA while they were playing.
well i just was at the 311, Unwritten Law tour eh, not to bad. before that it was Goody Fest with Hatebreed headlining both nights. it kicked ass. the company i work for does concerts so i get to see some of em. if they play at MEsa Ampitheater in Mesa Arizona so se a concert goin there im probably workin it. next so far is My Chemical Romance or something
I Havent been to many,....lol
Been to Dropkick Murphys once at Bogarts in Cincinnati...small hole in the wall venue with only a few seats near bar on second level....I just chilled in the back with friends..I only went cuz i was invited lol was alot of skinheads though....but despite that moshing wasnt bad. Some dude was trying to be an ass but a few people grabbed him and he just left .
lol.
Also been to Insane Clown Posse Twice...lol once Twiztid opened for them....I dont care too much for them anymore, but they put on a good show at least... was way too crowded to mosh lol.
