Entombed in 1995 1993 in a grungy local dive.

Warped tour in the 90s used to get some massive pits going. I really miss those days

Summerbreeze is still the nicest festival for me. Totally beats Wacken and other similar festivals

I saw tropkillaz at Roskilde festival, and there were like 20 moshpits, not even kidding. I couldn’t walk the next day. Still worth it though

I don’t join moshpits anymore because I’m too old, but it’s fun watching people trying to get a sense of rhythm while moshing to Meshuggah.

Summersault in Sydney 1995. Some classic bands, a warm summer evening, natural amphitheatres of rolling grass hills, Beastie Boys counting down to 1996. Perfect.

I’ve never been to a large outdoor festival, but I saw Nekrogoblikon a few weeks ago (again, for the 3rd time), and each time I see them, they step their game up so SO hard.

I don’t actually remember the specifics of the first time I saw them, but it wasn’t anything crazy special, besides having John on stage. This was like 2018 or 2019 after they released Welcome to Bonkers.

The second time in 2022, they toured with Gwar, and that was great. Dickie Allen filled in on vocals because the vocalist was sick, which was pretty awesome.

This last time, they headlined. Fog machines, laser light show, a giant inflatable goblin head, and a constant supply of balloons to bop around in the air. The pit was the biggest I have ever seen at the venue (I go to a lot of shows there), the energy was insane, and it was super courteous and there was not a ton of crowd killing, because there was barely any crowd that didn’t want in on the action. I think their vocalist maybe left the band? Because Dickie Allen was back lol. Hearing John Goblikon say “Well, you guys moshed SO good on that last one… Do you think we can all do a wall of death?”… It was like that viral Knocked Loose video, except smaller because the venue is smaller. It was the most fun moshing I’ve had in a long time.
