An Address to the show goers.

If you are like me, and love going to metal shows, either local or large scale, you will have noticed the mosh pits.

Now, I love a good pit.

Lots of high energy, adrenaline, the music just pumping you up, getting slammed around by complete strangers who you know you could get along with because you have one thing in common. MUSIC.

However, where there is moshing, there are the "moshmonsters"

these are the guys who like to mosh because they like to hurt others.

I once witnessed a guy beat up a friend of mine because he wasnt moshing the way he wanted to.

I HATE this.
Fighting should NEVER happen at a show.

This music is supposed to unite us.
To be a safe place where we can be ourselves and celebrate and have fun with the music we love.

NOT a place where we should fear for our personal safety.

There are TOO MANY little boys who are so insecure in their manhood that they have to go to shows and flex their muscles infront of everyone to make themselves feel better about themselves.

WE DO NOT NEED THAT.

These kids need to grow up and learn that fighting is the most immature way to show who you are.

If YOU who is reading this, start fights, or know someone who does, dont come to shows or tell your friend not to.

You ruin it for everyone.

Now that thats been covered,

I leave you with this:
