I overheard two girls talking last night at an Of Montreal show.

"Do you ever go to hardcore shows?"

"Yeah, I saw Hawthorne Heights once. It was crazy"

I was visiting my buddy at college like 7 years ago and he was like "Oh hey, there's a band playing today."

Turned out it was Hawthorne Heights. My friend and I jokingly pushed each other a couple times and kids legit RAN because they thought we were moshing. Like there was just a 50 foot wide empty circle cause kids thought there was going to be a "pit."

I was really high and a bit drunk so I started hardcore dancing. I would sprint across the empty space (seriously, it was huge) like I was going to crowd kill and then just stop at the edge and say "Just fucking with you" and kids still looked terrified.

This was funny because for the first half of their set I was heckling them and the band kept telling me to shut the fuck up. Then they kept pointing me out like "Yeah, this dude knows what's up! Thanks for showing your support!"

I know I've told this story before but it's fun. Then some dude even smaller than me jumped me and got the shit kicked out of him. Not by me, I just punched him in the face to get him to chill out.

Ha, a co-worker has been asking me about hardcore shows lately because he's going to see 5 Finger Death Punch.  He knew I was into hardcore the past and wanted to know what to expect.  

 

So fun thing is I got to get him all worked up and terrified.  Told him about the Gordon Solie Mother Fuckers final show I was at in Cleveland (i think).  That was the show where it ended with about 8 firetrucks showing up because there were so many fireworks lit off in a tiny bar.  Smoke was just billowing out the windows it looked like the building was buring down.  

 

Or the Ultimate Warriors show that my brother went to where they did their backyard wrestling deal while doing their set.  My brother actually had to remove barbed wire from one of their backs after their set.

 

Or the Nine Shocks Terror show that turned into chaos with charcoal and a box of Free 7"s started getting thrown around.  

 

Or the Chicago Havok Fest that was at Chicago University of Psychology that was shut down after the alumni from the fundraiser upstairs saw that people were swinging from the chandaleir.  That show they found another venue for but when we got there the Police had a paddy wagon waiting and anyone who went into the venue was getting arrested.  Leaving there heading back to our car an older guy came out of his house asking us what was going on.  He was telling us how he's lived there all his life and hasn't seen this many cops until a few "white boys with purple hair showed up".  Apparently the venue was two blocks away from Cabrini Greens which is apparently a "bad" neighborhood in chicago.

 

So no my coworker thinks that going to a Five Finger Death Punch show is going to be like these.

Everyone please go listen to this: http://thebandspringbreak.bandcamp.com/album/beer-me

If you thought CONDITIONS was dead, they aren't.

 

Also, if anyone who was into that band, they did a parody band called WIGGERSLAM. They have this song called "Rollin'". Some gems from that song include:

 

  • "I like turkey. I like tits. Fuck this mother fucking shit."
  • "Beers and bitches. Tits and nachos."
  • "Miller Lite's my fucking jam."
  • "Why don't you stop looking at porn? SHUT THE FUCK UP."

 

Yes, I have it if you wish to listen to it. It's amazing and hilarious.

Telling people who know nothing about hardcore about hardcore shows is always immensely entertaining.

"You walked on people's heads?"

"Yeah"

"You?"

"...yeah"

"Walked on people's heads?"

"...yeah"

"YOU?!?"

To be fair I'm a tiny dude and an incredibly chill motherfucker. So when I tell kids at work that I used to jump off people onto other people it's hard for then to wrap their heads around.
