There's something to be said for having unpredictability in a show...that makes it interesting. But having a high probability of losing an eye or your life isn't my idea of a good time.

I caught Big 4 - Anthrax, Megadeath, Slayer, and Metallica - at Yankees Stadium about 10 years ago.

I was in the cheap seats but I was sitting. That was unpredictable...it was cool.

The floor was a different story..that was bedlam. The mosh pit during Anthrax's "Indians" may have set a world record.

The floor calmed down for Megadeath but for Slayer - not a band I'd pay to see unbundled - they were possessed. I was safe in the seated class.

I know a young musician who had a chance to open for Mötorhead. He was excited at the idea, but his management basically said, Lemmy's fans want one thing: Lemmy...they'll pelt you with bottles. He didn't take the gig...smart kid.

I paid $500 for front row tickets just so I could be spattered with “blood”, covered in confetti, draped with balloon shreds, have “She’s Poison” screamed right into my face, and get “Billion Dollar Baby money” and “Dirt Diamond” beads thrown into my lap...and get hit with a stick.

;D

I dont like seating down and a mosh guy. I think the only times I bought my GF(s) for rock shows were Aerosmith and U2 because we had “seats”. If just me and the boys, it’s mosh heaven. After close to 250 shows live, I can guess that the biggest mosh pit I was involved in was Woodstock 99 but my brother who went to Woodstock 94 disagrees LOL. The only standalone show with the biggest mosh i was in was Primus. 0
