When they don't let you edge, they just get the breenge past. I've had the odd punch or boot in my direction but generally laughing at them seems to infuriate them more, as you head into the melee at the front.

Makes you wonder, that they've obviously never experienced the crowd surges of the old days at the likes of the Barras.
EXACTLY!..The previous tour in my own district a couple of wanks threw their pints over me just for the hell of it.Now I've never had
this problem except on my own doorstep.The shock horror they had as I made my way towards them with my wife and friends they
never imagined.Suppose thats me just being drunk/brave on my doorstep.Still,I don't bounce around anymore ...well that's not strictly true
but when arseholes wanna cause it then shy away after a little 'do ya wanna?' it makes me chuckle..as for the barrier...well there's no where
to go..Fuck 'em...Manchester here we come!

Perhaps a better course of action would be to get to the venue early and find the space that suits you best at the barrier.

I dont have time to get to a gig x hours early to get a good space, and no its not a contradiction, yes i do push to the front, but i am polite, is that so hard to grasp?

Then you can sit and be like Statler and Waldorf to your hearts content and be safe from the nasty crowd and the front

Absolutely, or maybe wait in the car and put the CD on.

I suppose some would say that if you go near the front / mosh pit then you should expect a bit of assault & battery in the name of music, but bullies are bullies wherever they choose to infest, and they're all cunts regardless.

Thing that gets me about the beer throwing is, why bother buying beer in the first place, they must be bloody loaded.

My pogoing/moshing days are well behind me, having chipped my left elbow at a Serious Drinking gig in the 80s! :lol:

Its the fuck nuts who throw the beer that piss me off.Seems to have grown in to gigs in recent years.That idiot who threw beer at JJ seems to sum it up.Why do it?I think they think its the thing to do.I have nearly taken someone out in the past for covering me with beer.But as a Bit of a Kung Fu fighter I would probaby do them damage,which I couldn't afford to do.But why waste good beer?

I can't believe how pissed some people get at gigs...the music must be a blur. Assuming that's what they're there for.
