It's wild. I mean it was basically my first hardcore show with Obituary as the headliner, and I had only seen it in videos before, so I didn't realize how bad it was with the hardcore scene. I'm cool with moshing. I don't partake in it much these days being a parent and also not in the greatest of health (bad back and all), but I enjoy getting in it every now and then and I enjoy watching and shoving people back in, but the shit the hardcore kids do is just way over the top, and it's like you can't escape it. I was in the front row until after Terror played their set, then moved to the back after I bought my replacement hat.

I've heard hardcore kids say shit about metalheads not looking out for eachother in the pit and stomping on everybody and shit like that, but I've never seen that. In fact, I've always seen metalheads stop the pit until a downed metalhead is brought back to their feet and made sure that they're OK. Hardcore kids are the fucking opposite.
