Deftones' Original Bassist Attended One of the Band's Recent Shows and Got Kicked Out for "Being Too Aggressive in the Pit"

Cheng Chi Thank Yu

First, thanks for the productive reply. Second, I was just joking about a funny juxtaposition of replies.

Chi wiz thanks

Not uncommon in Austria and other countries a few hundred years ago. Kids all had the same first name, different middle names.

They weren’t, they just needed some clarification. Don’t be a tool.

That is an absolutely glorious image. Thank you for giving me this, it's gonna live in my head forever. Like a prion disease. I'm gonna infect others.

hats off to the pit supervisors went to a show a long time ago, and chose seats but could see the pit clearly. Saw a dude wearing bright orange in a sea of black shirts. standing in at approximately 12 foot 13 inches towering over all the participants but dude was just moving them along and picking up people who fell. respect

> The worst guys in the pit are the shirtless roided up short guys. The worst dude in my experience are just the thick dudes, the guys that weigh so much more than anyone else, especially if they start swinging. Also guys, if you're at a concert with stage diving, that's not for you if you weigh over 180. You get one dive a night and you better aim for big dudes who are watching who are hopefully your friends.

F*** yeah. That’s when all the craziness hits the roof. Taken so many asses to the head as people are crowd surfing, having a couple of big guys around always helped to keep everyone moving and having fun.

disagree, the worst people are the 40+ y/o big guys that think they can still crowd surf/stage dive. i don't know how popular stage diving is where you are, but after the 10th consecutive 250 pound dude landing on your neck you get over it pretty quick . at least the aggro guys get dealt with relatively easily.

Who is targeting people at an ABR concert?? They were actually the first metal band I saw live

Yeah I grew up in the metalcore scene and then transitioned more into h******* punk in my later teen years. I have shirt that I wore to my first Cro-Mags show that still somehow has a footprint stain on it. I don't even remember how it got there. I've been kicked in the head, punched, elbowed, jumped on, walked on, drenched in beverages, had the wind knocked out of me, and done my fair share of dishing each of those out, and I've still never been in a fight. I did have one time where I was on the edge of the pit and a guy was 2-stepping basically right on top of me when there was plenty of space around him, so I shoved him away with my foot and he looked at me, swung, and hit the top of my head without ever breaking his 2-step, but we called that even and left it there.

Their pit antics and the bands in the scene's proclivity to statutory r*** really keeps me away from h******* entirely. And that's not even then adding on the militantly straight edge assholes.

The only time I ever got in a legit fist fight was at an As I Lay Dying show. It was my 4th AILD show I'd been too and I never had issues with crowd killing at one of them before. I was on the outside of the pit cuz my girlfriend wanted to see what the hype was all about, it was her first metal show. I'm a big dude, 6'4" 230lbs, so I was between the pit and her to absorb dudes losing their footing and so I could help people up if they fell. This guy goes in the pit and starts doing his weird fight dancing shit swinging is arms and legs around trying to hit people and the other pit goers start pushing him out since he was ruining the vibe. He comes over by us and just starts throwing fists and elbows behind him, clocks me in the side of my head, so I pushed him away and exchanged some words. He comes back on the next song, wraps his arm around my neck and throws me forward to the ground then immediately elbows my girlfriend as hard as he can right in the face, popping her nose. I got to my feet and just remember tackling him into the crowd and beating the c*** out of him. I got escorted out of the crowd by security. They saw the entire thing and luckily didn't kick me out of the show. Ended up shooting the shit with them the entire time and got to meet AILD afterwards. Wish my girlfriend didn't get hurt like she did but she looks back on it as a good memory and we've gone to many metal shows since and she thoroughly enjoys the pits now, we're just getting older and don't want to deal with getting knocked out cuz we're in one. TLDR. crowd killers suck

iF yoU dON’t lIKe iT, Don’T gEt In ThE pIt Yeah miss me with that crowd killing shit

That sub is a cesspool of stupidity and cynicism. There doesn't need to be a hardcorecirclejerk sub, because the one you linked already fills that role.

Is just that some guys here are complaining that the pits are now soft and full of girls, giving real unwashed hair metalhead in high school vibes

Oh grow up. What a juvenile comment.

I always find it funny that some kids that grow up like me getting called slurs because of the music we listen to and the way we dress are doing the same things as we had to endure. I’m annoyed that Gen Z rudely tries to defend their space but I’m not gonna start calling them names, I just want a nice pit

You remember it fondly though right?

if i understood what he means yeah it's f****** funny
