Planes Mistaken For Stars Converge on the UK

"Mistaken For Stars"? what a horrific band name.

no newcastle show :(

Planes and Converge...gonna be good...apart from the high percentage of tool-ish xninja-corex moves which will no doubt be pulled on the night.

Indeed. Hardcore kids are cunts. It actually really puts me off seeing Converge.

This is as patently untrue as your statement Mr Loveless

Oh, and I reserve my right to make crass generalisations.

I listen to Converge and Dillinger. I'm not a hardcore kid. When I refer to hardcore kids I don't mean all people who listen to hardcore, I mean the fuckwits who mosh or "dance" at gigs. They tried their best to ruin the last Dillinger show I went to by doing that...fortunately they failed.

Why though? Seriously, what is the point of moshing? Of course I expected there to be moshing at the show but why do people bother? To give another example; I was at a local band night in Reading last Friday to see a band who are probably closest to Isis and Pelican in style. Some retards decided it would be a really good idea to start trying to punch people and mosh...they ended up knocking the bassist's girlfriend flat out as she was trying to film the show. One of them then punched my mate in the face. Bear in mind, we were just standing on the edge and making no attempt to join in the "fun".

become? you're talking about it as if it's a new thing. it started with the dc hxc scene way back when. at least make your crass generalisations relevant.

"why are you all so inept at clicking REPLY TO POST?"

Why does this really matter in the grand scheme of things?

"it is a personal preference you thick bastards"

Wow, what an insightful comment. It's almost as if none of us could have figured that out on our own.

"you can't seriously expect everyone to live at your standards can you"

Where did I say that I expected that? I simply asked what the point of moshing is. Incidentally, I'd say there's a difference between moshing and jumping around having a laugh (case in point, the recent ...TOD gig at the ULU where everyone was having a great time).

"because you're rubbish
because you can only see one point of view
because you're stupid
so just shut up now"

So you'd be perfectly happy to be deliberately punched in the face at a gig for no good reason? I'm able to see plenty of different view points, just none that involve someone trying to rearrange my face whilst I'm trying to watch a band play. Fucking cunt...

Punching's a bit over the top. I try to avoid moshing these days, i'm getting a bit on the old side: i can't keep up with the pace, and i feel slightly concered at how young everyone else looks.

Best way to avoid moshing is to stand back. Which what I intend to do at the Glasgow show.

Punching is wrong. Moshing Isn't.

planes mistaken for stars are shit.

but they're shit...

This the London show? That 'King of the Pit' shit was SO wrong - fucking kids were getting fucked up, and it didn't help matters when PR guys and other bands ran from the stage into the crowd.

The head stomping - whatever - was unbelievable. Seriously, from my lofty vantage point over the stage I could see the faces of the front row and they WERE NOT loving it. It just got silly. People should have wised up and chilled a bit, looked out for each other, y'know?

It really pissed me off seeing the same few twats coming back up time and time and time again for more, whilst all the time these enthusiastic kids were getting smashed to fuck. I'm surprised Bannon didn't say something. When the drummer went in elbows flailing I wasn't sure whether he was making a point - ie STOP IT YOU FUCKS - or whether he was just adding to the problem.

Meh... Coverge still fuckin' own.
