Could be worse, could be one of the world's most renowned metal bands with a moshing ban.
Can't even use tasers, chains and knives? Boring
But how do you want to ban moshing? Have loads of security guys join in the mosh pit to drag moshers out?
If I cannot mosh, and I'm not allowed to sit on a lawn chair, what the fuck else am I supposed to do there?
Lol- this is just a bigger mosh pit. The fools!
"yeah, so since people won't stop creating a mosh pit, the current band is canceled and we will only be playing classical music from now on. Thank you."
Time to mosh harder to the classical out of spite!
Bach knows how to rock
