Figure I ought to create a counterpart to Steve Barclay's thread for a somewhat different audiences. So, what do you play to get the crowd to stop standing around and start a pit?

Off the top of my head, these are some of the cover songs we played years ago that got people up and moshing. These are pretty old songs nowadays though, haven't played cover metal in ages!

Cannibal Corpse - Hammer Smashed Face, Entrails

Black Sabbath - Paranoid

Slayer - Dead Skin Mask, South of Heaven, Postmortem, Seasons in the Abyss

Metallica - Master of Puppets, Whiplash, Sandman, Welcome Home (Sanitarium)

AC/DC - Shook Me All Night Long, TNT

Pantera - Walk, F*****g Hostile, Domination

Guns N Roses - Welcome to the Jungle, You could be mine

Rage Against The Machine - Killing in the Name Of, Know Your Enemy

Hope this helps you some

I'd go more with Korn/Sevendust type stuff for moshing. We dont really play covers though.

RATM - Bombtrack, Know Your Enemy, Guerrilla Radio

RHCP - Stone Cold Bush (more crazy dancing than moshing).

Later
Rob

Wow, none of these songs would get anyone moving in my town I guess my idea of moshing is different, these songs are all ones that as soon as they start people are bum rushing the mic and screaming the lyrics at the top of their lungs in a huge pile, while anyone else would definately be throwing down.

Project X - Straight Edge Revenge
Mental - Bounce Back
Casey Jones - Just another day
The Virus - Rats in the City
The InsubordiNATION - Drinking in the Alley
Cheers to Beers - C-town anthem
Risky Business - Risky Business
Risky Business - Cut Loose

We usually play "blinded by Fear" from At the Gates.

Sometimes for an encore, we'll play "Raining Blood" from Slayer.
