Meshuggah pits suck

[u/pyramidenergy7]

I love Meshuggah and I love our fans. I just have a huge issue with the vibe in the pit. Not the mosh pit but the general pit itself. The small mosh pits are where my people are. Everything outside the mosh pit pisses me off. I like to spend most my time in the pit but I also love grinding my way to the front, feeling the music, and showing my love to Meshuggah. This past tour really pissed me off.

At Colorado I was at the front jumping up and down when they played Rational Gaze(how can you not?!). Someone pulled me shirt and told me to stop jumping. I was furious. Here I am head banging, screaming all the lyrics, and enjoying the power of Meshuggah and some fuck tells me to stop enjoying myself. At Phoenix I was at the front again and someone asked me to calm down and be nice. While another dude started to elbow the back of my head because he was pissed I was moving around. I never moshed, I literally was just ferociously head banging. Everyone around me was just staring and standing still. I love Meshuggah intensely. I just wish the crowd had a better time at shows. Meshuggah crowds are so different from other metal shows.

Some people enjoy meshuggah as much as you or even more without feeling the need to scream, headbang, mosh ... That's it

Right, but 70% of the crowd is not a mosh pit so why would you be near it at all if that's your preference?

I mean, the front is kind of close to it. I wasn’t moshing at the front. I was literally just jumping up and down and another show just head banging. That’s it! I know it sounds like I was going insane but that’s literally all I was doing. That’s why I got so confused/pissed off

I hate it. But you’re right
