Did you get any battle scars from that concert? |
Lol. No I did it all the time. I was always at gigs like this. I was a regular. I think the mosh pits were more violent. But not like people try to mosh today. Back then we were just one big family and it was way more fun and if you fell over someone would help you up.
People trying to mosh today are out to prove a point or are trying to convince others how hard they are. If someone moshs into me with this attitude I'm liable to smack 'em, lol. That shows 'em how hard they are, lol.
I was on a quite few videos but I can only find this one

. I once even got a cheaky kiss off MTV presenter Vanessa Warwick (sorry Ricky Warwick - I was only about 14 - 15 and it was only a quick peck on the cheak, lol. I'm sure I only got away with it as I was so young looking but cheaky with it)
YouTube - Pantera - Interview in London at 1991 part 1/2
I was also at this concert too. The song "Cowboys from Hell" had just been released in the UK. This was at the Marquee club and not many people were there as Pantera were unheard of until the song got major play on MTV (internet was not around then). I was about 2nd in the que with my friend as we didn't have tickets so we were buying them on the door and got there early. We actually met the band as they came out about an hour before to see how big the que was getting. They spoke to us and signed a card advert they pulled of the wall inside. I've since lost the card and it would have had Dimbag's autograph too. Within weeks I was at a different gig and the DJ before the bands played cowboys from hell and the crowd went mad. I was like "how come no one went to their gig?".
