was out last night and went full on in the mosh pit. am paying for it today though, can hardly move. Anyone else got any self named ailments?
I fainted Saturday night, have a huge bump on the side of my head, banged the end of my nose which feels extremely tender and my top row of teeth were bleeding when I hit the sink and bathside. No idea what happened, came round in the corner of the bathroom feeling clammy and hot! This has never happened before
Ah, headbangers neck. I remember those days. After a while (and some serious neck damage!) I realised it was better to swing from the body, not neck. Or just wear a stupid hat and let that do the rocking for you with miniumum effort . Wow, there's even a smiley for that on here!
I got Whipslash at a Slayer gig at Brixton Academy - the chap in front of me had ridiculously long hair which he swung around like Tom Araya and slashed my face with his whippy hair
Whiplash and ringing in the ears used to be my measure of a good gig... (yes I know about hearing damage etc etc) Don't go to enough gigs these days
I concur.......You "knew" it was a good gig if your lugs whistled for a few days afterwards, especially those small gigs where you'd stand right next to the PA
hey, J.Tatty, soooo correct ! stood right up against a speaker at a Walter Trout gig ,years ago and was 100% deff on leaving gig ,and remained so 4 a couple of days ,was worth it thou(thou ears are done from way to much of same !)
What Wispy said! I figured the side to side movement in my late teens. It saved many a sore neck! I also remember the bruised ribs from being crushed against the barrier and the general moshpit associated bruises. Oh, and a poke in the eye at a Pantera gig in Brixton!
