My mate and I were talking about gigs that we have coming up over the next few months and we started to talk about good and bad gig experiences. During this we realised that theres not as much solidary in a crowd any more as their used to be. The worst thing I have seen in a pit was at Metallica/Slipknot in Dublin. There was a girl in the pit who wasn't so big. She got knocked to the ground and as my mate went to pick her up, this other guy just ran over and booted her right in the ribs. Not like it was an accident or anything. Unfortunately I have seen things like this happen more than I would have liked.
The very first time I went to see Trivium in the Spring and Airbrake in Belfast I was small and naive. This was the year that the crowd broke the security barrier and Trivium had to stop playing until it was fixed. I was totally pushed to the ground and this guy saw, helped me up and moved me to a pillar so I wouldn't get pushed about so much. I still remember that to this day as someone going out of there way to help me and it was class. How come things like this dont happen as much any more?
surely if you see someone fall u help them up? If you cant see the stage past a tall guy in front you move you don't try and start fights with him! You don't go into a pit just to punch someone in the face. If you don't like the support band - go to the bar.
At the end of the day everyone worked their shitty jobs to get the money together to go to the gig. We are all fans and we want to hear the band live and have a good time. Whats the point in people trying to ruin it for others? Or I am just being idealistic?!?

It seems Trivium's version of Iron Maiden is going to be a bonus song on the new album. But if you could choose any cover for Trivium to do - what would ya choose??
Mine is slightly obscure and says way too much about my immaturity - but I reckon the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers theme tune could totally be metalled up!
