Just don't get out of the circle or you'll lose the beat.

This dude HAS to be embarassed now.

I take it that you've never seen Another State Of Mind before?

nope. I was viewing clips from the movie like the one where ness was doing his hair and putting on his make up. I just felt that clip was just awkward/embarassing.

I love a good circle pit.

That was always the way it was for me coming up in the scene. Somewhere in the early 90s everybody forgot how to dance and just started shoving towards the stage and "body surfing" like a bunch of fucking idiots. I hate that shit just as much as the ninja bullshit. I can see how this clip must seem weird to people who came up in the 90s or later, but that's really a pretty accurate example of what dancing used to be like and if it was still possible to go to a show and dance, I'd probably do a lot more of it.

Nothing like a good circle. I always felt like I was dancing around a fire.

Dude is just given advice to new people coming in to the scene. This was shto along time ago when things were much better in the scene. I wish shows were still like that.

I always thought it should be ritualistic. Seriously.

It was ritualistic, really, without being defined as such. When you were a young kid at your first show, working up the courage to jump into the pit. A rite of passage almost.

Unfortunately, me too. My body is so busted up and falling apart that if I even get near a pit I'll likely end up in the hospital.:(
