Title: Avail and The Casualties
Post by: AvidConcertGoer on January 19, 2003, 03:09:00 pm: Who went to this show? It was pretty darned good I have to say. I wasn't feeling too hot at the beggining but the vibe of the place sort of took over my body. The Casualties had a seemingly amazing pit but I did not join for fear of upchucking on people. Their live perfomance skills are exceedingly awesome and pump up the crowd to the maximum capacity. I feel the same way about Avail and luckily I felt better by then. The main downfall during Avail were the people who were basically stomping on your heads like the bushes in Sonic The Hedgehog. The other crowd surfers were pretty cool. So many helpful and considerate people, which I have become unacustomed to after frequenting the Electic Maid. The whole girls only crowd surf principle seemed to work out quite nicely. I am always too scared that I will get trampled by another, MUCH larger, crowd surfer landing on top of me when all the guys are up there. Any thoughts on the show? Sentiments?[This message has been edited by AvidConcertGoer (edited 01-19-2003).]

It is therefore shear chance as to which parts of their body land on your hand. To some extent its a risk of being a crowd surfer along with falling to the floor and losing your shoes.I would never condone the gratuitous and unpleasent seeking out of a crowd surfers fleshy parts, just for the record.

Post by: eddie on January 19, 2003, 06:07:00 pm: nah, he LIKES it when people cop a feel from him while he's crowd surfing. Just not for the young ladies who want to get in on the crowd surfing action.

I am one of the average sized girls and I am still usually atleast 50 lbs lighter than the majority of guys landing on my head!

Post by: mg on January 20, 2003, 09:56:00 am: I was there, it was definetly worth freezing my ass off in line. I'm used to the whole crowd surfer problem, being one of the taller folks in the crowd means they'll inevitably hit into me at some point or another. I wanted to punch the little son of a bitch who pulled the jesus walking on water trick by walking on the people's head. I swear he ran from the stage about 20feet back without falling, just stomping along as he went.The cover of "White Riot" was awesome too.

Because that guy almost killed 124 lb me=(

Post by: Captain Jack on January 20, 2003, 08:52:00 pm: yeah headwalking is a bitch. I experienced an exponential amount of headwalking at Hellfest, but I can't complain because I did my share of a shoulder standing during Bane.
Title: Re: Avail and The Casualties
Post by: paige on January 20, 2003, 09:28:00 pm: the crappiest thing about headwalking/crowd surfing is when you are not at all expecting it and some Tons-O-Fun lands right on the back of your head and you crumple up and look like an ass when they're like "YEAHHHHH". or when the annoying skankgirls think the band will notice them if they fling themselves across the crowd in their shoddily made halter tops and wooden sandals land on you and dont even try to get themselves back up again. erkjglakjglajg. but no, im not bitter.

Thats good, I applaud you, you made sure your voice was heard. But when you're on the metro ride going to the show, and you have the urge to grill the gent sitting behind you on his political views just because you can, and he doesn't seem to be enjoying your rant much, kindly shut the fuck up. My god I was on the ride in with the most loud mouthed asshole known to man. I'm a moderate/liberal and said as much, that wasn't good enough and he proceeded to extule himself of how 'radical' he was. At that point I wished I could have told him I am a fascist and pray for the rise of a dictator to lead the US into a new domination of the globe, just to see his damn eyes pop out. For christs sake's people, know when the shut up.

Also fun is getting kicked in the head when someone crowd surfs by. When they're wearing boots. With steel toes. I wear boots, and I have never, ever kicked someone in the head when I've surfed or dived. A little consideration goes along way. Skankgirls are hysterical though, especially the ones in tight halter tops that should under no circumstances ever be allowed to put on a halter top. Rule of thumb for ladies and gents: If you stomach has more rolls than a package of Pillbury's,please do not expose it at every given oppurtunity, or mash it into my head.

Post by: Metal Meltdown on January 21, 2003, 04:13:00 pm: regarding girls in moshpits/crowsurfing..im all for it, I think those girls are rad, love the hardcore girls.. However, there is nothing worse the first four songs of every show where gaggle of 14-15 year girls begins to get crushed and banged out and starts whining..you dont like the rough stuff dont get in front for Slayer, you know what Im saying??? I always help them out and get them over the rail but what exactly were they expecting? a tea party?
Title: Re: Avail and The Casualties
Post by: Skaboss on January 21, 2003, 04:29:00 pm: It was a good show, for sure. I love how smooth shows go when there isn't a barricade. It was like the kids(for the most part) have respect for the stage. THere's nothing I hate more than some ass rod who hops up on stage and all of a sudden thinks he's the singer, guitar player or offical mascot. I see this happen at a lot of pop rock shows. But this show, people got up, yelled a line, did their business, a little irish jigging,and off the stage. It was super.

There were two girls ahead of me in line, they were maybe 15-16. One of them had apparently gotten tickets to go see Slayer for free. She asked her friend "I wonder if there's going to be one of those mosh pit things there"I hope they got out of there alive.
