angelkitty Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 His band is not really my type of music but enjoyed a bit of moshing none-the-less! Just a small point, but this really really gets to me. I don't believe that you mean moshing, you mean head-banging. The two are very very different, and I really, really get annoyed when they get mixed up. Moshing is only really found at punk or hardcore gigs nowadays. It involves pits forming in which the crowd stage-dive, crowd-surf, windmill their arms, kick, punch and generally act in a violent manner in time to the music. Examples include infamous pits by Sick Of It All fans, who are also encouraged by the band to form the 'Wall of Death', where the crowd is split into two halves, and then they run at each other. Mayhem ensues. Head-banging is the rapid movement of the head backwards and forwards in time to the music, there are also spiral headbanging where the head moves in a circular fashion, and the 90s Nu-Metal headbang (of which Gareth is particularly fond) where you bend from the waist. I don't head-bang anymore, too much in my youth has given me headbangers neck, and it really, really hurts when I do it! I REFUSE to have ANYTHING to do with moshing, it's dangerous, and causes extreme accidents. I have no desire to cause someone pain that they don't want! Sorry for the ramble, but it really, really annoys me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelle2009 Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 It was another brilliant weekend, it seemed a lot more relaxed this time around, and not having specific groups for auto queues meant we didn't have to constantly keep checking if our number had been called. All of the guests were lovely, especially Caroline, and I think the episode screening worked really well. It's a brilliant idea and I hope they do it next time as well. My only gripe occurred this morning with the hotel itself (though not SM/ME fault at all) when I was checking out, but I won't go into that now, as I can't wait for the next one. Regarding Blue Gillespie, they are totally not my cup of tea at all, but we stayed for most of their set. Roll on Hub 6! I can't believe it's the 6th one already, how time has flown. xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelkitty Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 As I said, it's just one of those things that gets my goat BG are an AWESOME band live, they are one of the few bands that I would say that you should see live to fully appreciate them!

Aishaleherisson Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 The only letdown of the weekend was the Sunday party... or surprising lack of it. O.o I was one of the people who was dancing to the music from the laptop (the one who was dressed all in brown and had horns, wings and a tail, lol), and that was fun. I was less disappointed at the end of the night and just really confused (still am). Do any of the crew know what happened that night? Other than that, I thought it was a good con, despite the lower number of attendees... and the rain. xD The doing away with the groups was probably a sensible idea given that there was a smaller number of people too. The only time the queue got 'ridiculous' was a double length queue for one autograph and even that went by fast. I did enjoy the talks and the screening. Funny as always. Did anyone manage to retrieve that Toffee Crisp in the end? xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hanoigrillo Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Sorry for the ramble, but it really, really annoys me. Erm....ok. Was just using the terminology that had been used all weekend - really not into that kind of gig usually so wouldn't know the difference. I consider myself informed. Wow indeed. I am rarely moved to post, but this sort of pointless rant completely out of context is completely unnecessary. You were absolutely right to use the term 'moshing', as that is the generic term for all dancing at rock gigs, and everybody knows exactly what you meant. As a teenager of the eighties I could cheerfully blather on about the roots of moshing at Suicidal Tencies, DRI and Black Flag gigs, and how the style and term was first appropriated by Anthrax and crossed over into metal terminology, but that would make me a pedant and a bore, so I won't. For the record, the band weren't my cup of tea either (too slow!), but it was ace to see you lot having a great time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn newbie hubby person coming in and having a rant lol Anyone would think he was a complete metal-head/mosher/punky kid/glam rock fan - do I really have to list all the genres he is into?

dragonsanddaffodils Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 (edited) lol tis true But, as much as I love the Lost Prophets (well, they are local boys after all), I always used to laugh at Ian trying to organise twin circle pits resulting in a figure of 8, it used to make one song last about 10 mins by the time he had organised it But it was weird at Reading not seeing our friends up on stage with the band for "Burn Burn" joining in I miss that oh damn! Need to go to another gig *Edit to say - the only people not allowed at gigs are those that stand there looking cool and just gently nodding their head and slagging off the band - not cool!
