Ever got hurt doing any of these crazy things: Crowd surfing or being crowd surfed , moshing, circle pits, wall of deaths, stage diving? Where were you and how badly did you get it?

I always end up with cuts on my face

due to the unfortunate fact that I am short, and my knees always get cut from the barrier. Apart from when there is no barrier, then I usually just get assaulted or Eddie Argos sexy posing in my face. Patrick Wolf almost kicked me in the face, nice.


Frank Carter booted me in the face

then some girl punched me in the eye. that wasn't a fun 20 seconds...


Broken nose

From a crowdsurfer during Serafin.

I got my own back, my friend spilled that manky red/pink Bacardi Breezer all down their white jacket.


scars on my arms

from les savy fav pit

i bit through my tongue at a pitchshifter gig, you could pull the meat apart and see inside!!! YEEEEEAH


I broke my glasses at Bloc Party

but Matt gave me one of his drumsticks, isn't that nice.


not very practical though...

unless you have some kind of drumstickular vision.


It was a long time ago

but I was at the front at a Mega City Four gig (stop laughing at the back) and put my hand on the stage to brace myself and there was a nail sticking up that went right in my palm. Much blood was pissed everywhere.

Still have the scar.


i stood next to some guy

once wathcing the others in a near empty cafe in newcastle university, who slipped on a spilt pint and broke his leg eduardo style. quite an appropriate metaphor for the others' music methinks....


Crowd Surge!

I got caught in one of these once, it carried me up two flights of stairs0- my feet never touched ground once and I'm not a small person.


I have heard accounts of

Devo's Bob 2 kicking people (lightly and rather staccatoishly) in the upper lip.

He was well behaved when I saw him though.


i've got a scar on my right knee

from an Amen gig, but that's about it.


Kicked in the head at a Hundred Reasons gig.

This started my hatred for crowd surfers.

Bruises on my arms after I saw The Bronx.

Lost 2 pairs of glasses, 1 at FFAF and 1 at Polysics.

My friend Jason was headbutted when he went to see Korn many years ago - he sported a very nice black eye for a few weeks.


i used to think a gig was shit

if i left without any injuries.


I got my tooth chipped

by Pink Eyes of Fucked Up when I was singing into the mic...happened pretty early on, but kept doing it anyway because i'm a dilligent cunt!
