In my youth I would actively try to be a mosher, was never good at it. I guess I have a very poor center of gravity because like almost every first time someone with moderate force slammed into me I'd go flying and end up on the floor.
While it's awesome to witness firsthand that, yes, metalheads do look out for each other because as soon as someone goes down there's 2-5 guys instantly reaching down to pick them up or forming a protective circle if there's real damage, lost glasses or phone, etc. it does take all the fun out of it when you're down within seconds.
It is also insanely physically draining and I'd always leave sweating bullets, though that might just be my hyperhidrosis.
My metal band, Ivory King, has 2 songs out now - allmylinks.com/ivorykingtx (all of our links there so you can choose which one you'd prefer to use)
