Honestly I think you write some pretty solid lyrics but in terms of guitar playing and especially singing, you've got tons of work to do. | |

Jimmy, I think you should continue to play music. I agree with Harbortown in that your lyrics are pretty legit; the singing and guitar work isn't great, but I can definitely see improvement. If you keep challenging yourself and improving you'll be happy you kept going. If you want to. And I think you do, it seems to bring you joy | |

"Hardcore Dancing is For Twats". This is great. I especially liked: " Not only do people have to stay out of the way, bit they have to actively pay attention to the whirling dinguses to avoid getting clobbered. Which, naturally takes their attention away from the band." I've definitely missed chunks of a bands set before because I had to pay more attention to the crowd and it sucks. Also "whirling dinguses" hahaha. | |

| While I haven't been injured by any moshers, I would have to agree that my biggest complaint is that it's a distraction I resent having to deal with. It helps if, when a pit is formed, that they keep activity within the boundaries of the pit, rather than deciding to bang up against everyone along the edges of it.

| yeah. so many people like this at the gaslight show i saw last year. buncha fucks. like, I love an energetic crowd, but stop running into people like an idiot - imagine someone doing that in any other circumstance, they'd get their ass kicked. especially in a show when everyone else is trying to watch the show. i'm more of a singing along clapping and jumping type of guy.
like, gaslight isn't a very intense band, that type of dancing felt super out of place | |

| I also hated having to go into "protection mode" to keep the girl with me from having her face bashed in by some idiot. My wife is only tiny anyone hurling their body at her would definitely do some damage. Go bash into each other in the parking lot. Leave me to enjoy what I paid money for without distraction. | |

Oh yeah, if i had went to that show with my girlfriend it'd be a fucking problem, wouldn't even be able to watch the show. idk how shorter people, especially girls, get by at punk shows. gotta be tough | |

| I hate spiders as well. Oh, I also found probably the best motivational tool-being ticked beyond belief and giving it all you got at something, to prove somebody wrong. In this case, the drummer and every member that voted to kick me out of my band. I'm spending every single freaking free moment to know the 4 songs we had better than the actual musicians who created it. For example....I just spent the last 3 hours working on one song. | |

Oh yeah, if i had went to that show with my girlfriend it'd be a fucking problem, wouldn't even be able to watch the show. idk how shorter people, especially girls, get by at punk shows. gotta be tough As a short girl (5' 3") I can say it's not easy but I've never had a guy protecting me and I've survived just fine. The biggest difference I've noticed in whether or not a girl does okay, keeps her spot up front, etc. is whether or not she's prepared for it. I've seen girls get on the barricade and it's clearly their first time up front and they have no idea what they're in for. Those girls unfortunately are usually gone 5 songs into the show. But if you're ready and willing, the smallest of us can fight to stay up there. What sucks is, I don't wanna deal with that shit at a Gasllght show, it's just plain dumb. I've missed some of my favorite songs at their shows because people got tooo crazy and when security sucks at catching crowd surfers and they land on your head, it makes for a bad night. And don't get me started on push pits. Moshing, I get (and sometimes enjoy) if you're not a jerk about it, but push pits? no. Who wants to be shoved against the barricade until their ribs break? Crowds make or break shows much more than the band in my experience. | |

| Once I had a guy protect me and it was awesome. It was Velvet Revolver's first NYC show back in 2004 when they just came out. Roseland was totally packed, probably over capacity illegally because they were the "hot" band of the moment #AncientTimes. Anyway, people were acting insane with their shoving and it was hot as hell. That was the only time I thought I might have to leave the front row. But then out of nowhere, this scary looking metalhead—tall, built like a linebacker, long crazy hair, spiked leather bracelets and all—took pity on me and stood behind me while put his arms on each side of me on the barricade (like a blockade from behind). At first I was nervous, but honestly there was absolutely no funny business from him. Afterwards, I shook hands and thanked him and he just said "Glad to help!" Then he went off into the NYC night. My metalhead guardian angel. | |

Haha that's an awesome story! Yeah, can't say I'd object to a dude helping to keep the crazy people away but girls aren't always as helpless as one might think. Not gonna lie though, I wish I'd had someone to help me out at the Handwritten album release show. I was front and center on the barricade and was flat out pulled off it at one point. I got back there though. That show was wild and I pretty much only remember 2 songs off the setlist, Mae because it was first and incredible, and Too Much Blood, because it was the one time the crowd completely calmed down. For the rest, I was distracted by the crowd. | |

Are you talking about the one at the Middle East? because that show was great and when Brian told people not to crowdsurf it made my night. Only drag of that show was it was soooo damn hot and you couldn't hear the vocals at all. | |

Did you go to that show? | |
