Going to my first real metal concert.

Awesome dude, I have been to a bunch like TDWP, Oceano, As Blood Runs Black, AGATG, Whitechapel, Blind Witness, Norma Jean, etc. and I can tell you some pointers...

1. DON'T get near the speakers up front unless you want your ears ringing for a day afterward.

2. DON'T let yourself get into the middle of a moshpit/wall of death unless you want to be pummeled by giant guys. Also watch out for crazy guys swinging their arms wildly with no regard to you or anybody else...these people are usually the cause of fights lol.

3.The front next to the stage, even though it seems tempting, is really rowdy and loud and unless you can deal with some shoving and crowd surfers I wouldn't suggest it.

4. I always stay around the middle on the edge of the moshpits, you can feel the action, get in the moshpit if you want, or have your own little 'area' and move around freely as you want. Much better than the congested front stage area X_X.

5. Generally the heavier the band the more brutal the people. I think you will be fine at a TDWP concert but if you ever find yourself at a Oceano/Whitechapel show watchout lol.
