man..i just got back from Shadows Fall, Lamb of God, and Slipknot. Was such an awesome show. I dont really like shadows fall, but they were a lot better live, except they were kind of repetitive.
But the moshing was insane. I went to Slipknot, System of a Down, Rammstein, and Mudvayne 3 years ago and there would only be a little section of moshing. But the whole damn floor was going at it. It had its down time since everyone tired themselves out. But im finally big enough to withstand it. If the floor was the way it was when i was a freshmen, i would have had to find a corner or something. But im still relatively small, so some big guy felt the desire to lift me up and start crowd surfing. Which was awesome until i got to the security barrier, and the secuity guards pushed me back into the crowd as i was about to go over, and the people were expecting me just to fall on the other side of the barrier so they didnt support me after the security guy pushed me back...landed right on my back.
Then one of the percussionists in slipknot threw his drumstick and it hit a guy next to me and landed under his feet, so his reaction was just to stomp on the stick and try and pin it so he could reach and get it, but i put my hand over it and i pulled it out from under him, but some huge guy grabbed the end of the stick and ripped it out of my hand. sucked monkey butt.
anyway, just pumped up. Third concert and the first one i was in the stands, second i was too small to get in the crowd, now i was able to do everything.
