OLP and Finger Eleven

Yeah, don't get me started on them. At the Sept. 18 2002 show there was this one old bitch who kept crowdsurfing. She looked to be at least 40, was wearing a miniskirt, practically nothing for a shirt, and these huge fucking boots. She crowdsurfed over me at least 10 times that I counted, and she kicked me in the face three times. You can just feel your nose cracking when some ugly whore keeps kicking you in it because she thinks she's hip and popular with her children. I hope she burns in hell :mrgreen:

that really sucks. i remember when i was at the London [Ontario] show and this stupid bitch kept going over and kicking me in the head. i kept getting kicked in the head with her one of her flying legs :mad:

. it came to the point that when she was over me, i was forced to shove her over the barricades and onto the cement floor. take that beeyatch! :mrgreen:

and yea, ALL crowdsurfers need to burn in hell

Yeah, I have a thing I like to do to crowdsurfers. It's called punching. If it's a guy, he gets punched in the sack. If it's a girl, she gets punched in the breasts. I hope they learn a lesson to not crowdsurf, at least not over me.

you're so kind alan. i got hit in the head twice by crowdsurfers at the state theatre. and my feet stepped on too many times to count. now the toes of my boots are all bent out of shape.

Hahahaha, Alan :lol:

See, since I'm so short, the taller people usually help block the surfers. On the other hand, when they hit me, it's extra hard and by that time theres no one to help.

And I can never punch them, because it takes all my strength to keep them off my head.

The worst are the drunk ones. Blah

I'm 6'1, which is not that tall, but I am in the taller 80% at an OLP show. I have to defend myself without stabbing some one above my head, so yeah. People shouldn't go to concerts if they know a whopping 3 songs from the band. I am sick of getting my ass kicked at shows like OLP and The Ataris by people who know SOT and Innocent, or just know Your Boyfriend Sucks. If you don't know the words, you don't go, it's that simple.

yeah. unfortunately i am 5'1" and its not cool when there's drunken fat tall guys in front of you sweating like pigs. some guy was nice though, and pushed some girls out of the way so i could move up closer. we saw each other a couple of times that night.

Are you talking about OLP or the Ataris? The Ataris was bad, real bad. People thing moshing consists of making sure to elbow people in the back of the head who are far from the pit. And they should make weight limits on crowd surfing. If you weigh more than 200lbs don't go up, because you're gonna go right back down.

wow, I never want to be near you at a concert :neutral:

i've noticed that a lot of the girls 'surfing' out are really just trying to get the fuck out of the pit .. i've been kicked many times .. it's part of a concert experience .. it sucks but I don't intentionally hurt any of the surfers

Okay, when you're up front at a show and you keep seeing the same 5 people go surfing over and over again, you start to get a little angry. I might not be the prettiest of people, but coming home with a black eye is not that much fun. If the girls that want to get out of the pit need to get out so badly, they should just walk backwards, it's rather easy. In fact, it's much easier than having to find some one to throw you up on the people and having to worry about some creep guy feeling you up. In most cases it is just a jackass who thinks she is cool to crowdsurf and gets up front and stays there.

Joey · Post by **Joey** » 12/10/2002, 8:37 pm

I've tried walking backwards to get out of a pit before .. it's literally impossible when there's a wall of people who refuse to budge for fear of losing their spot .. and they actually tell you "the only way out is to go up and over" so yeah .. I was kicked in the face and my eye swelled up at the London show .. it hurt at first and then I laughed it off later .. it was a girl that kicked me .. I'm not gonna punch her for it .. and honestly, I'd rather worry about some creep guy feeling me up than some guy punching me :neutral:

hmm... at the olp show sept 18 i got out of the pit ok... i just kinda squeezed my way through

Joey · Post by **Joey** » 12/10/2002, 8:50 pm

I've tried it .. people are assholes and won't let you past .. a show way back my ex literally had to push people out of the way cuz we were trying to help an injured girl out and finally the guard just said to toss her up .. it's easier and quicker to get out by surfing out .. if someone wants out it's normally for a good reason .. they're hurt, passing out etc. They can't exactly try and squeeze past hundreds of people who are just gonna give them a hard time about it :neutral:

emily · Post by **emily** » 12/10/2002, 8:51 pm

yeah, i got out cuz i though i was gonna pass out. i dont think im claustrophobic, but i just couldnt breathe. maybe it was all the people or the elbow jabbed into my stomach.

Joey · Post by **Joey** » 12/10/2002, 8:53 pm

I hate the girls who yank on my hair .. I mean they're trying to keep THEIR stop by hanging onto my hair :roll:

emily · Post by **emily** » 12/10/2002, 8:54 pm

that's why i enjoy having short hair. :mrgreen:

but i'm growing it out again. i can never make up my mind.

that's why I like standing on the far left, first row.

I mean, I do love Steve and all, but it's easy to get out if the crowd gets to be too much. The security guards are right there and the railing usually ends, so you just gotta walk out.

I don't think I'd ever want to be past the first two rows of people. :neutral:

Bad stuff happens past the first two rows. :neutral:

I'll never understand why people mosh and crowd surf. Here's my piece of mind: If I wanted to beat somebody up, I'd put Naveed in my cd player, crank it up, and beat up my little brother or my roommate or something. Why waste money doing that? I don't know, if I was busy beating somebody up, I wouldn't be paying attention to the band.

Maybe somebody can explain this to me.

you really are mean to your little brother, aren't you?
