I don't think I've fought at a Melvin's show but I Always get the mainjumping contest.

[Dumpster D]

Im definetly At the Point now where if the crowd gets too full of Drunk assholes who Just want to manhandle people and are being too Drunk, Ive been to enough shows that Im Sick and tired of it and I am basically At the point where I stop having a good time, and am now waiting for someone to cross the Line ( which is like, my THREE strike rule, if you are the same dick I push away from me in the pit more than three or four times and you keep trying to single me out, You will be sorry) I am ready to go Mad-dog and FUck his shit up like before he realizes what is happening.

I had to throw a drunk guy off a girl in the front row of NApalm Death pretty hard because he was pushing her into the stage and leaning on her and pulling her hair and shit, it was funny because there was like maybe 8-10 people Standing around doing NOTHING about it and even worse there was Just ONE single line at the front and NO ONE ELSE, like everyone could see it happening!!! He kept roughing her up grabbing her and leaning on her and she was being crushed against the monitor pretty seriously, he was really Grabbing and yanking her long blonde hair and she was Small too...This guy had to be stopped.  Just basically it was too much for me, it was not cool at all he was a BIG scary Fucker!!! honestly twice my size and drunk too, I think thats why no one intervened, so after about 2 minutes of seeing this going on and no one doing anything to stop it, Like he kept doing it a bunch of times and I finally got so upset I came up behind him and Grabbed him and LIFTED HIM OFF HER!!!! and threw him down pretty hard, Like with every ounce of Strength I could muster I put all my force into it and sent him off and over and laid him out flat on his back, he sprawled into the centre of the empty pit and the whole place saw me do that too because it was such a small turnout, totally humiliated him in front of everyone who saw, even though I was sure he would scrap me but he backed off and left. The band saw this and basically I stood beside this girl for awhile wathcing to make sure she was alright.


Even before that some kind of College Wannabe skinny ass fuck-goof Moron Came running into the pit out of nowhere (was literally 2 seconds of him trying to Run into the pit for the first time from the back left side) and I dont remember well now, but I turned and he ran Full steam SMACK-BANG right into me and I felt his nose cartilage Go flat with a sickening Crunch against my Forehead and It hurt like hell but I saw him grab his nose and cover his face and he Just turned around and walked right back out of the pit (small show, only like 40-60people in total...I ALWAYS try to do a head count while waiting to rock) 

Yeah Its coming back to me, there was a blood trail all the way to the bathroom and he left wads of blood soaked Tissue all over the washroom floor.

It was the Dumbessst most single Idiot thing, His nose was Broken for sure! My head still hurt in that spot the next day!!!

It *MUST* have been his first concert or something. 

I have NOOOOO idea what the fuck he thought he was doing, there was plenty of elbow room and It was spaced out enough to see me a mile away.

anyway I OWNED that Napalm Death Crowd, I got everyone going and Tore it up for the band man!!! fuckin A, people were standing around trying to be cool So I had my melvins shirt on and basically Just went berzerk and got everyone rowdy and fired up the show through the whole set and kept up the level of intensity to make sure the band was going to put on a better show for a crowd who was giving it up for them.

The Devon townsend project and the last meshuggah Show I went to was a bit like that, IF YOU HAVE YOUR ARMS CROSSED IN THE EDGE OF THE MOSH PIT THAT IS THE UNIVERSAL CONCERT GOING SYMBOL FOR;

I AM NOT MOSHING' I AM WATCHING, TOUCH ME AND DIE.

RESPECT, ok, ITS CALLED FUCKING RESPECT!!!


Have some respect, OR prepare to Git Sum right sqwa in the noots!

if you fuck with me, I will easily easily lose my nerve and I dont care what happens, you will be feeling it in the morning.

Basically why I stopped going out to so many shows, I dont want to have to Boot-fuck someones Testicles.

Its shameful but I wont be punching you, I will be using my legs, if I learned anything From Joey Shithead is not to fight someone with your Arms because you will also be getting punches landed on you.

Use your Legs, and dont take any shit off these dicks.

HARD AS FUCK BOYS.

Have some respect, OR prepare to Git Sum right sqwa in the noots!

AGAIN;

Like I said, I watched this big Goddamn Caveman Walk straight up to the front from the back where the bar is located in the small venue...He goes right up beside that Girl and Almost instinctively Singles her right out like she is his mark in true Caveman Fashion Starts completely Squashing her against the Tiny little stage and Like Drunkenly Staggering and KEEPS severely grabbing Strands of her hair to Steady his 200+ pound balance in front of the whole crowd, even the band was a little concerned about it, Im sure they might have had the sense to stop the show if I hadnt done something.

Im pretty sure that is the backwards of it, when I went to shows, you RESPECTED Women!

who invented this floor punching ass-fisting Limb Flailing shit I see at concerts...

the best Moshing is when you tuck your arms in and everyone Just pushes together and you dont even have to try to balance yourself to stand up and everyone moves like reeds and wind in the willows and you can let go and be free.

THAT was what the melvins 2000 show was like in toronto, it was like a true stoner mosh pit, everyone was on the same level and it was truly unifying and beautiful.

MEN: you do your best to look out for them women folk and make sure they are having a good time and are safe and feel comfortable at shows.

AND SOME OF YOU WONDER WHY THERE ARE HARDLY EVER ANY LADIES AT CONCERTS EVER! maybe you need to start treating them with RESPECT YOU FUCKING CAVEMAN! DO YOUR JOB! MAKE THEM FEEL WELCOME AND SAFE IN A CROWD! Look after girls who are Brave enough to hit the pits man. Jesus.

dont let me Catch you fucking around in a crowd, I will take all my strength and double it, I DO WEAR COMBAT BOOTS! Those are for kicking in doors and Crushing skulls and Stomping Guts, so Watch the fuck out if you mess around because you think you can get away with it in a crowd... If I catch you trying to get in on this type of inhuman bullshit, you wont even know what hit you. 

The scary thing about this venue was they still allowed Bottles at the Drinking section at the back of the venue, which was still about 50 feet from the stage, you could seriously nail someone at that distance. I kept moving in case someone from the back said its time to bottle this little fucker in the crowd. You would think they might actually KNOW something about serving alcohol in bottles at a rock concert but in actuality not to many venues are concerned with the true spirit and theory of Rock and Roll concerts less making a few bucks at the expense of the Ideals of being a shiest oriented venue.

Ive had bottles thrown at me back in highschool once in a blue moon, and a few near hits almost landed that would have wound me up in the hospital or worse in my time. (not at concerts, and they werent aiming for me, but the person who did wrong never gets His uppance, its always the innocent who pay the price isnt it.)

The only time was not really a fight but an argument.  This guy I used to hang out with started saying something about U2 and how awesome it was they are still going as a band. I said I disagreed and think they are over rated. He then said "oh yeah over rated? name one band that has been making music as long as them and still around today"  I said The Melvins come close to the years active as a band.  He responded "nobody gives a fuck about the Melvins they suck"  He was an individual who enjoyed pushing buttons and always having the last word, and would never admit when he was wrong.  So I ended it saying "you know I'm a fan and you say something like that, out of all the times you played music I think is terrible I kept my mouth shut out of respect, its your house "  Again he had to say "but my taste is actually good".  I just ended up losing a lot of respect for said individual as his smug attitude was spilling over into everything not just opinions on music.

[BERZERKER]

Never been in any fisticuf on any concert, but I ain`t moving when a drunk chap from in front of stage, steams through the crowd for more beer. They bump into me and are always amazed that I didn`t give way like the others on the way.

[ZILLA]

I had an ex girlfriend tell me that she wished I liked her as much as I liked Melvins. I should have told her I wish I liked her that much too!
