She clearly had never seen a Wall of Death before and was completely unaware that the same rules apply as for a tsunami: if you see the sea (of people) recede and you don't know what is going on, then get the fuck out of there!
People standing across from that man must have seen the kid and could and should have done everything they could to stop their line from rushing forward, as even if they had swerved, the people behind them would not have been able to see what was going on. Instead, they just ran forward, probably because it was not their problem. Only a few people actually step in to help. So get off your high horse: the metal community has its heroes and total douchebags like every other community. The worst part about this community is that many of its members feel superior to others, with cherry picking in instances like this as its fuel. And let's not forget the total jackass of a (supposed) father also seems to be a metalhead.
@@matthewibach767had i been there I would have walked into the moshpit unknowingly too. It was a very silly situation. Also the people at the edges could have warned her what they were planning on doing.
The dude getting his hair wrapped up in the guitar pegs was great! I am surprised it doesn't happen more often. As a guy with long hair, it happens. One of the worst is when you have the car window down just to cool off the car from sitting in the sun - before the air conditioning can do its thing - then you close in the window and have no idea until you either reach for something in the car or stop and open the door! 🤣
Yes, I had long hair for 7 seven years (growing it again) and it would sometimes get stuck on all kinds of things. I wonder if the guitarist saw what happend, it looked like he stopped bobbing his guitar up and down. The guy making the walrus noises sort of looked at them as well, fun times
It's not rare seeing him pissed off. I saw CC in Ft. Lauderdale once in the early 2000's, and this guy kept yelling "SLAYER" after every song, and Corpsegrinder had enough and was like "Slayer ain't fucking here. You are pissing me off".
As a bass player, I have to grudgingly agree. It is the genre in which bassists are the least missed. That is why I enjoy listening to metal but generally not playing it. Of course there are some bands that properly work with frequencies - or that have stellar bassists - and in which the bass does make a difference. But I have been to a small metal festival where most bands didn't even bother to BRING their bassist. I'm talking bands like Sirenia, so not just some local amateurs.
I see Colombia in the dancing guy pushed to ground in the last vídeo. So idiosincratic, asome and funny at the same time😅. Greetings from Colombia - South America
I love metal, but I genuinely don't understand how people can take little kids to metal concerts like that. As a parent I would never want my kid to be anywhere close to a metal crowd until they're at least like 15
It's not the metal crowd that worries me. There are safe places for the kid to be. My issue is the loud music. Kid is too young to start suffering from permanent hearing damage.
I grew up with metal in the 70s, by the time I was 15 in 1985 I'd been to 25-30 concerts with my dad and a few with just friends. The very first mosh pit I ever saw was on a Friday, June 25th 1981, I was 11 years old, last day of elementary school (Grade 6) ended at noon and I went straight from school in Selkirk, Manitoba to the airport in Winnipeg, I took a 3pm flight to Vancouver, due to timezones I arrived in Vancouver about 3:30 pm, my dad, who was already in Vancouver looking to buy a house, picked me up and we drove all the way from the Vancouver airport straight to Seattle, stopping for some finger lickin' good KFC, to see Wendy O. Williams and The Plasmatics, we missed most of the opening act, I don't even remember who they were. Anywho, I didn't jump in the pit but my dad did, he had a blast. Wendy set a car on fire then attacked it with a sledgehammer and chainsaw, it was pretty cool show.
Hello, I'm Korean and I really like heavy metal, and the concert video is really fun. Is it okay if I download it and upload it on my channel? I'll make sure to leave the source.
I used to get so drunk at practice that I would sit on the couch in our practice room to play. On our first payin' gig (private party) my mates surprised me by having that couch on stage. Believe me I used it lol
The bit with the baby just goes to show that no matter how many metalheads there are and despite how much they want to smash themselves and otheres to pieces, when someone defensless is involved we protect them . Youd never see that at a gig for any of the 'nice' genres.
that Herman Li leg bounce trick is pretty damn cool tbh. I think i seen him do that on a Guitar Center vid? dude's a strait up showman. I'd like to see him and MAB start a band together 🤘😁🤘
it's stupid, if he doesn't break the poor guitar in two, the strap would come off. Like if a guitar player THAT good needed to do tricks to show off lol
@@chrisw6164 On closer look I'm not exactly sure. I'm leaning into that maybe they we're cut. Also combining background tapes with actual drums (you can hear those weren't just those "dead" drums) is a nightmare timing wise.
@@lukaskolisek2208 Yeah, makes sense. I can see that about him. I have been to shows where the band and security were at odds over the treatment of moshers, crowd surfers, stage divers, etc. I was even shoved off the stage one time by security and the guitarist went after the security guard. I honestly don't know why bands don't hire their own security to work at the venues. Then there wouldn't be any problems.
@@Brandonmtlhd It would be def easier for bands to hire security that they can specifically instruct what to to and what not to do. But I imagine it would be way more expensive due to travel expenses, probably additional insurance, paychecks, etc. Venues have their own bouncers (usually the worst option because they're mostly local roid heads) or a contracted company.
@@lukaskolisek2208 I'm not saying they have to tour with their own security but maybe they can contract with private security outfits at each city they play.
@@koooomi thanks brother, if it's even remotely as good as i've just heard (just finished listening to Hazardous Mutation), i'm sure i'll have a grand ol' time 😄
Im Metal- und Punk-Bereich können solche Unfälle schon mal passieren. Im Bereich der Main Stream Musik ist es eher ein Ausnahmefall, da hier die meisten Unfälle durch spielendes Einschlafen der belanglosen Musik entstehen.
I saw Municipal Waste in their Electrified Brain tour and Ryan Waste blew a fuse on his amp 30 seconds into the set, most killer show I’ve ever been to, genuinely feared for my life in the front row.
Saw napalm deaths barney stomping around on stage & messed up his leg on a floor monitor or something 😅 they bandaged it up and continued the set. Also there was a clip I could swear I remember from 20 years ago , possibly it was Eric Rutan in Hate Eternal, headbanging and wrapping his hair around a mic stand causing a total Wipeout. Can't find that clip anywhere anymore
One time I was playing a show with a belly full of pills and Milwaukee Best Ice. During one of my better guitar solos, I fell backwards down a staircase that lead to an exit that was closes off during shows. Members from one of the other bands grabbed me by my arms and propped me back up in front of my amp. I could barely stand and finish show. Embarrassing
All good man. I had a drummer fall asleep and start drooling on his snare during our first show from taking too many vics. We kicked him awake and the show was a success. Shit happens when you're young and dumb. Just don't keep dragging your bandmates down lol.
The only one I've never heard of is "The Agonist" but that didn't sound like metal to me anyways. Where the hell have you been? Most of these bands have been around for like 40 years 😅
I’m afraid like I’m trying to get to where the audience and my clumsy ass walks behind the guitar player swaps me with his guitar and that’s my night lol
