HASID IN THE MOSHPIT!

kse moshpit hasidWhen @AlishaThrashion tweeted from the Music As a Weapon tour stop in New Jersey on Wednesday that there was a Hasid in the moshpit, I responded with what any skeptical Jew like myself would: “pics or it didn’t happen.” And within a few minutes, I had the above in my inbox.

Pretty awesome (moshpit dude, if you’re reading this — you rule). Metal knows no religious boundaries! So I got to thinkin’… what are some funny Music As A Weapon-related puns we can connect to Jewish themes? (For those who don’t know, your editors are Jewish, so we can make these jokes guilt-free). Bands on the tour are Disturbed, Killswitch Engage, Lacuna Coil and Chimaira. Examples:

Gifiltefish Engage
The Impossibility of Kvetching
Alice or Just Shvitzing
Down With the 10 Plagues

Winner gets some cool posters and stickers in the mail. Go!

    “Gifiltefish Engage”!! I’m a gentile, but I always (respectfully) switched up lyrics from the Geto Boys’ “My Mind is Playing Tricks on me” — “This year, Chaunukkah fell on a weekend / Me and Geto Boys went trick or treatin’ / Robbin’ little kids for Gifiltefish.”
