This little blog shall be a How To survival guide for metal conecerts/festivals, or How To Survive a Metal Concert/Festival if you want a proper title. Surviving a metal show is actually very simple if you're not some pansy who talks a lot of smack and leaves behind a trail of brown fluid running down your pant leg when someone calls you out. First of all, you need to pick the right outer wear (sounds pointless and lame, I know but it's necessary), usually just a black band tee works the best, but keep it metal, everyone is going to kick your ass if you go to a Vital Remains concert with a Katy Perry t-shirt on. Also, if you plan on going in the pit (moshpit, the area near the front/middle of the crowd where people push/shove/punch/kick/knock eachother over, just saying for anyone who is thick), don't wear glasses, especially sun glasses. Chances are they'll get knocked off and crushed by some chuncky bastard's fat foot and if it's sun glasses in an indoor venue, well you'll be coughing them up later in the night. Now if you're of age to be able to legally purchase alcohol, don't be that moron who brings their beer with them into the crowd and has their man-period when someone accidentally spills it. Now the one thing I can not stress enough to not do at a metal show, is god-damn-mother-Fing hardcore dancing. It is the most idiotic action you can perform at a show and it does nothing but make you look like a jackass and become the target of several of the most dedicated headbangers to use as human punching bag, I've seen it happen and it is hilarious. The finally tip I can give is don't take things overly serious, people are going to get knocked in to you if you're near the front, it's going to be crowded and obviously a very strong scent of an illegal mood-altering substance will be in the air. Most metalheads are very friendly and ready to chat it up, so have fun and don't hardcore dance...
