'Ride the Lightning' remains one of my favourite albums of all time, but I will never, EVER forgive them for the $35 I wasted on St. Anger. My worst mosh pit experience was actually at a Velvet Revolver concert, of all places. A dude - who I think might have been on drugs - accused me of pushing his girlfriend. When I tackfully pointed out he was in a mosh pit and no one could move anywhere, he proceeded to punch me in the face multiple times. Not cool. Never had that happen in a metal pit, although I do fall over a lot :) I'm seeing Gwar at Wacken this year. They're definitely still kicking! I'm glad everyone likes this article.

Just don't say or wear anything more recent than and justice for all. you may be dismembered. these tips are great! anyone who wears a pussy band t-shirt is asking for an ass-kicking anyway. at 6' 1" i don't have any trouble fending off guys who get too close and intense. girls dont always need someone to defend them btw. we're quite capable of taking care of ourselves and mostly get annoyed at guys who try to 'take care' of us. we know you mean well, but we got this... and if anyone can't handle the pits, you shouldnt be there! metal will never die <3 to carlos: sure! metallica is still deeply loved.

I've never been to a metal fest, but a couple concerts. I've been a long time Metallica fan, not so much their newer stuff (I lost interest after the black album), but can appreciate their change in direction. What I'm wondering is, how would a Metallica shirt go down with the metal crowd these days? They've been branded sellouts by the hardcore, so would this be a "at your own discretion" sort of thing? Would it matter what album the shirt was from? Would a Master of Puppets shirt be looked on more positively than a ReLoad shirt? Also, is Gwar still around? This is great.

Also, is Gwar still around?
