There were a couple of tw@ts like that at the Eureka Machines too. I just kept kicking them in the backs of the legs if they came anywhere near me.

I remember that - there was an unbroken wall of Heartlanders behind the twats in check shirts!

It's always been 'lively' down the front at GD/Skels gigs, wouldn't expect anything else.
i'm not exactly a novice in a mosh pit, but that's the first time i've had to bow out for my own safety. just because it's always been done doesn't mean it should. lively = good. dangerous = not good.

There was always a lot of argie bargie at GD gigs (and lots of mid 80s gigs come to that)- its quite weird explaining to folk now that fights were not unheard of (and actually quite common) - obviously not justifying it - but that was just the way it was... sounds like some people were trying to relive their youth - but was anyone actually surfing?

nah, the crowd wasn't packed enough for surfing. i think that was the problem, maybe - the moshpit was able to expand, and having lots of room made it worse. a crush is safer!
a fair few gigs these days aren't pleasant either. i've been kicked in the head a few times, and nearly been strangled (but doomy saved me that time!)
if they were trying to relive their very much departed youth, i sincerely hope that they had trouble walking the next day.

Back in t'day... surfing was when one person lay flat whilst being held by up some others & someone else surfed on top of them... (and so "spook squad surfers") I suppose all the acrobatics (surfing, pyramids, towers etc) livelied up a cold tuesday night in northampton or where ever the band was playin for their following who'd already seen them 6 nights in a row that week...

like i said, jake, it wasnt packed enough for surfing.
the best surf i saw was when british sea power's bassist surfed still playing, right round the room.

Again - i probably didnt make it clear - I'm not talking about more modern crowd surfing where someone is thrown up in a packed crowd - and then is passed around.. (tho in olden days people only did that to get to the stage to then dive off)
Most GD gigs were never *that* packed - so surfing in those days was someone being held up flat by their mates - then someone else standing on them & using their torso as a surf board.. I'm sure it made more sense after 6 stellas...

i'm sure it did... am with you now!
there wasn't any of that last friday. perhaps there should have been, it might have kept the buggers more sensibly occupied!
