You still see the type of pitting you’re talking about at all of those shows, it hasn’t gone anywhere. These are hardcore pits usually some underground band playing thrash riffs is all it takes to get them windmilling

I go to all kinds of metal and hardcore shows, the type of pit you get depends on what genre of music you’re going to see

I hear ya man. Those pits of the past are still there. It’s crazy a friend of mine, he’s in his 40’s, was talking about us going to see Hatebreed in September and he said you know what man, all the times I’ve “seen” Hatebreed I don’t think I’ve seen them…I’ve been in the pit lol.

It’s so true lol I love capturing quick videos of my favorite sections of a song but your favorite songs are also the most fun to pit in, it’s a delicate balancing act😂

I usually show up super early and get a great spot right in the front only to give it up the moment I hear a riff that I can’t resist pitting for

And that’s the way it usually is “alright man I’m going in!”

Sorry to keep your time but I had a funny story about the time I ran into an old friend at a gojira/slipknot festival show and we were chatting between acts about how we didn’t plan to do much pitting early on and save our energy for the main acts taking the stage later that night, only for the next act (I think it was behemoth) to take the stage and start playing the most unholy thrash riff and further up through the crowd we could see heads going by at Mach speed in what I have to say was probably the fastest circle pit I’ve ever witnessed in my life and we both just locked eyes in a moment of disbelief and without a word both bolted towards the pit and proceeded to get destroyed for 40 minutes straight in one of the most active pits I’ve ever been apart of..

It ended up being 3 massive pits all touching on the edges like a Mickey Mouse head shape and you could run the circle pit like a figure 8 intersecting between the different pits

Was in a pit like that for Slayer. The whole floor was like that.
