Best song for a mosh pit?

[astronauts_suck]

Pee Wee's Playhouse theme song

 

[Chriss62]

F**king hostile - Pantera!

Supercharger heaven - White Zombie
Edgecrusher - Fear Factory
Hammer Smashed Face - Cannibal Corpse

I've been in the pit at performances of all these songs.
Pantera could create a pit you weren't sure you'd get out of, but it was well worth it.
CFH!

I think i'm gonna go smash something right now.

I second the earlier post suggesting Roots. Arise and Territory are other good Sepultura mosh starters.

Raining Blood always seems to start an immediate mosh pit, as well. Shoot, darn near any Slayer song does.

I always found that the tunes with the slow heavy groove parts have the best rhythm for the pit. Fast stuff doesnt work as well. For me at least. The best pits I have been in were a few death shows in the mid 90s - Corpse, Brutal Truth that sort of thing. The lamest and largest group of pitters was a NIN show I went to. Bunch of wannabe fools kicking and punching. Why I ever went to that I can not say. Oh right it was free.

Agreed. The heavy breakdowns are usually where it's most intense. However, fast music can usually get the crowd running around pretty good.

"Wild in the Streets" - Circle Jerks

"Wild in the Streets" - Circle Jerks

I got knocked out cold in the pit at a Circle Jerks show in the early 90's. Came to at IHOP. That was my last time in a pit, strangely enough.
I vote for "Caught In a Mosh" by Anthrax.

 

[BassGod]

For ultra heavy, grooving, sludging breakdowns, you need to listen to the song Spirit Crusher by Death. The chorus is simply ridiculous.

Circle Jerks shows have always had great moshpits. I experienced my first one in the mid '80s. I got knocked silly at a Descendents (or was it D.R.I.?) show a number of years back, and almost broke my arm at The Cramps.

hey there, im a pretty big NIN fan. i went to a show last year, cant say much about the pit cuz i was at the baracad the entire time. but i have no idea at all how anybody can mosh to nin. i can jump and move around but moshing is almost impossible, u cant mosh to industrial. how did u get in for free?

You are the most misinformed person ever haha. It is actually the exact opposite, hardcore dancing is never supposed to touch another person and rarely does at a real hardcore show. The other pits are the ones where you're all bumping and smashing each other in a mass of chaos, hardcore dancing can be done by a single person, thus why a lot of them practice their dancing in their bedrooms.

I was really only speaking from my experiance, I've never been hurt (broken nose, and I was just standing watching, not even partaking in the "slam dancing")and then just people kept going doing what they will. I've been knocked down in a punk pit from time to time, and literally EVERY SINGLE TIME the pit has come to a near stop just to help one person up. See that much during slam dancing, no?


But once again, most of my information is from personal experiance.

Sepultura - Chaos AD
Machine Head is nice too!

But the best concert I've had was with the folk-black-metal band Finntroll, (Gojira coming second.)

 

[FunkSlap89]

Step Down by Sick of it All is a great dancing tune

Noone would ever "slam dance" to hardcore, slam dancing is what you do if you're 11 and at a new metal concert.

Sorry if this has been posted before, but 5 minutes alone by Pantera

I am watching Death play that song live right now on the Pers DVD. I don't see anyone moshing, just a lot of headbanging. Not to detract from the song at all, I think these guys on the DVD don't have any you-know-what's.

It's a good pick, but I think Pantera wins hands-down for a good mosh.

 

[Bushfire]

You don't actually need a song, just a 5 minute long breakdown.




But seriously, there's a lot of good stuff, I think it often depends more on the crowd as opposed to the song.

 

[Tbirdbassist]

Yea, I've caught myself headbanging to Spirit Crusher way too many times. It's a badass song.

As I Lay Dying has some pretty mosh inducing riffs.

 

[Tbirdbassist]

OMG, Keep your eye on the guy in the white shirt.
