Mosh. Term is too easily thrown around these days. 35 sweaty rednecks slamming into each other at a Pantera show is not moshing.
"mosh" has a style. Has designated moves. Floorpunching, the gorilla, windmilling, creepy crawly, assorted karate moves... and lots of regional variations.
None of what has been descirbed is actual mosh. Mosh is a term that was hijacked from the hardcore scene of the mid early 80s. But I digress.
That being said, the biggest TRUE mosh I have ever seen would have to have been Hatebreed, before they became sellout faggots.
And its not the size of the mosh that counts, its the quality of the mosh. Some of the best mosh I have ever seen is at small venues when only 15 to 20 people are throwing down.
You want to see mosh. Catch a hardcore show when blows through your town.
