I witnessed violent moshing at a fucking VELOCITY GIRL show circa 1991-2.

I actually recall a pit developing when I saw The Posies at CBGB's when touring for the first Geffen disc. So it's not impossible.

definitely not impossible, as it actually happened.

no...totally possible...i think frente could have drawn up such a situation back then...

I feel sorry for anybody jaded enough to dismiss them for this stuff, for "not having a sense of humor about it." Was Bowie kidding about it? The Velvets? Zeppelin? Is Coil? Rock and roll is magic if you want it to be, pretentious or silly if you don't.

For me this is the most OTM thing on this thread. I'd like to add that I also feel sorry for people who can't seem to like a band unless the frontman is idol worship material. Who cares if he was a cracked-out asshole? I'll never understand people who let that figure into the equation.

only the old man (well i don't know about lauren)..im not THAt much older than you, ian

the cracked out downfall only matters if yr looking for an idol rather than a soundtrack. most people, esp when they're young, like their bands to be idols. so figuring that in is only as stupid as the worship itself.

This is one weird thread. People making out they were into them as kids and are now too grown up for 'em, you may as well call Led Zeppelin music for children then. I'm in my 40's and I consider them as one of the very best rock bands of the last 25 years and a class above The Pixies (who are brilliant - not quite as good as Jane's though). They were original and good musicians too. They also were a big influence on The Smashing Pumpkins and Tool. And for a band that you supposedly heard everywhere in the late 80's/early 90's, their records were remarkably unsuccessful commercially (look at chart placings). Hmmm......strange..
