Man dies in Smashing Pumpkins mosh pit

Cherry-Bomb Productions · 10-01-2007, 03:54 PM

A fan died at a Smashing Pumpkins gig in Vancouver, Canada on Monday night (September 24), after being involved in what police described as a "mosh pit or crowd-surfing incident."

Police explained that the man was removed unconscious from the crowd inside the PNE Forum venue.

First aid specialists attempted to revive him before he was transferred to the nearby St. Paul's Hosptial, where he was pronounced dead.

Police explained that they did not suspect any foul play and the circumstances were "not suspicious," claiming that the death was due to an "out of control mosh pit."

A spokeswoman for the venue said: "It's just a really, really sad ending to what started out to be probably a very fun night for a young man."

I've seen these pits get taken over by assholes trying to knock people out before. Too bad for this guy!

Do people still mosh? I mean seriously, didn't that die out with shitty Nu-Metal bands like Limp Bizkit?

It was Smashing Pumpkins, so maybe some old turds were moshing for "old times sake".

That is one reason I hate concerts in this area, people will mosh for fucks sake. I've seen people mosh to Tonic. I mean it's Tonic, come on people, moshing isn't a universal dance.

I believe it is time for a new trend.

I say we start a fire in the pit and let everyone dance barefooted on the embers

Both have already been done, at Woodstock '99, during the Red Hot Chili Peppers' set. Great band, but I also do not find their music subjective to moshing.
