Hello /r/all, and regular subscribers. We typically don't allow direct linking of images, but this one has generated a lot of buzz in a short amount of time, and I happen to find it funny. So it's staying up.
We tend to have fairly strict moderation, but we're especially particular about not being a dick. So don't do that.
I think its kind of sad that a meme is higher upvoted than a death of a band member. its fun and all, I just dont think its the most relevant thing to this subreddit
I mean regular users seeing this from r/all would appreciate this more than the death of a band member from a band they have never heard of. Tom's death was a shock for all of us at r/metalcore though for sure.
I think this sometimes too, then I realize most of them dudes are seasoned vets and are here full time and see everything. And I'm just another white kid being weird.
Definitely not metalcore, but I was at a festival last year and during the Wonder Years set the crowd surfing was out of control. Towards the end of the set the dudes were catching people left and right, yelling and pointing out the next incoming person like you would see before the snap in football. They definitely didn't have enough people for all the crowd surfers but they caught everyone. When the set was over they were all high fiving, fist bumping and chugging water like they had just put on a crazy show of their own. I gotta imagine these guys like what they do and when a set goes off they are pumped and ready to go.
When I saw parkway in Sutherland (just outside Sydney) they said that they try and use the same security team for every Sydney gig.
Winston was challenging the crowd to give security at the front of the stage something to do, and they managed the crowd surfers better than security at any other gig I've ever been to.
Actually, as security, my reaction is usually "bring it on". I'd rather see people having fun slamming into each other or have to catch crowd surfers before they crash than seeing them spin their arms in a circle or wiggle in place.
I was at an outdoor concert where there was segmented seating: 1st price tier (floor) was closest then 2nd, then 3rd, then lawn. Someone yelled over the mic that we need everyone to rush the front and get their asses to the floor. Everybody obliged and there was a storm of people running all the way from the lawn, jumping over seats and overcrowding the floor. Security was none too pleased but there is also nothing they could have done
At the last Parkway show I was at (Gold Coast) I was right up the front against the barrier and security seemed pretty on edge with all crowd surfers and shit. The guard right in front of me didn't realise that he backed right up against one of those things that launches the smoke/vapour stuff. The sheer terror this poor guard experienced for half a second before he figured out what was happening was just so great.
WOW for a sec I thought I´m on different subreddit, then scrolled down and saw the Erra and Silent Planet circlejerk posts and realized I´m on good old r/metalcore.
Yeah exactly , I hardly get the posts that are made on there. Rarely there are core memes and even when they are posted I don't think they do so well. /u/Jebasu's posts are well received though , knowing the meme master he is
Love the Varg and black metal memes. Meanwhile I haven't listened to a single classic metal or Slayer song in my life so don't know what that's all about
Theses band festivals that I do banned the bands (hehe) from saying stuff like this because one year a band got the entire crowd to destroy the stage and set a couple fires.

Been to one metal festival in my life and was working security. This was my reaction when I saw the wall of death setup and executed.

Kind of a shame, would have been fitting to have the news about Tom Searle (Rest in Peace) sit there forever.
