It was at the Roskilde festival, 9 kids died coz of the crush during their set. Pearl Jam were devastated, cancelled the rest of their tour & did like this mad investigation thing.

No, I think some of the 9 slipped on the mud & coz it was so manic at the front they just got trampled.

yeah i was talking to the friend who told me that pearl jam don't do mosh pits anymore and she said that they also don't play the song "alive" anymore because that was the song they were playing when the people died....ironic....
i understand though now how people can die in moshpits. i went to see the hilltop hoods the other day (aussie hiphop band) and i was in th emosh pit and it was so bad. everyone was trying to get to the front and they were all pushing and it was actually pretty scary there for a while.... maybe i'm just too petite for mosh pits...

Sorry to be pedantic but, that's not true 'Alive' to them now doesn't mean about a mother's incest with her son (which is what the lyrics are about) but has taken on more of a meaning of 'wow, we're still alive, let's celebrate that' type thing. Apparently. Nowt to do with Roskilde incident tho. I've been in some mosh pits but not slam pits. People get proper hurt in them! I was so crushed at the barrier when Kings played V, I thought I was gonna pass out! Btw that Aussie hip hop bands sounds kinda awesome.

All this talk of the Oz tour dates is depressing me, I brought my ticket out of the country a week before the tour was announced and won't be back till after they are done and dusted :-( Sorry, just needed a whinge!
btw. the Hilltop Hoods are pretty damn good!

Anyone else going to the Newcastle gig? It's like a week after my HSC exams finish so I'm pretty damn happy. Also the thought of Kings being in MY town is exciting haha.
And as for Aussie hip hop..I think it blows. I mean, I'm a big fan of other hip hop; just the Aussie "ocker" voice really pisses me off. They rap about shit too.
