Slayer November 27 MSG in NY & E-Town Concrete NOV 29 Starland ballroom in NJ

[AK907]

Hey,everyone is entitled to there own opinion. Most I'll say is I'm 5'8" 210 and my boy is 6'1" and 280, at the black N blue bowl of hardcore this past May, I jumped in the Pitt which I rarely do any more,ever !I remember MadBall was playing. My boy on accident back fisted me in the nose,I thought it broke,was dripping blood,took my shirt off,held my nose,it stopped bleeding after so many minutes,bout a new shirt and jumped right back in,I just was feeling pumped..I can give shots,so I have no problem taking them..and have many times..oh well I love everything about the hardcore scene,the music ,the ppl,the pits..I have nothing to complain about,but what I'll say is these shows aren't for the weak..be prepared toget knocked around,kicked down whatever,it's part of the scene...

This is exactly why I think pitters need to be in a closed off section. Again, I have no problem if pitting is someone's thing, go nuts, but there are people who don't enjoy being injured and being required to be in harms way just to enjoy a live show because it is "part of the scene" is simply not right. It is wrong to involve someone in something they don't want to be a part of. That is why I get angry and I why I think pitters need to have their own closed off section. Safety and respect for other patrons. Not a lot to ask, really. How do you think a 120 pound woman is gunna fare when some 280 pound man drags her into the pit? She doesn't stand a chance. What about kids who want to see a show? Should they just not go for fear of being injured? Would you shove a joint in someone's face at a reggae show just because it is "part of the scene"? No, you wouldn't.

I'm out.
