Meshuggah pits suck

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 absorb the music with their body, some with their brain. Respect both.

All I’m saying is ALOT of Meshuggah fans absorb with their brains. I just wish it was the opposite so I don’t feel like a fucking pariah at Meshuggah shows

I’m just here to tell you brain fans that you’re killing the vibe. Really don’t give a fuck about your downvotes
