POLL RESULTS: “RIGHT BEHIND THE PIT” IS THE PREFERRED SHOW-WATCHING SPOT OF OUR READERS

We asked our readers where they like to stand at metal shows, and though the results were somewhat varied, one thing is for sure; you guys do not like getting the shit kicked out of you by kung-fu assholes in the pit. The preferred show-watching spot is in fact from right behind the pit, while a good number of you like to be in front up against the riser:

• “As close to the riser as possible, horns in the air! Gotta be right up front for all the action.”

• “Right in the fuckin’ pit, gettin’ as brutal as possible.”
  18 votes (12%)
• “Right behind wherever the pit is. I don’t want the shit beat out of me but still want to get a good view.”
  56 votes (37%)
• “In the back, by the bar / on a balcony (if applicable). I enjoy the view of watching all the mayhem ensue from a distance.”
  27 votes (18%)
• “I don’t even botherin going to metal shows anymore.”
  2 votes (1%) [this choice was added by a reader]

We have to say that our own preference echoes that of our readers. See you right behind the pit.
