I've seen this photo before and always have to laugh at the expression on the guys face directly behind her

He's the lead singer of a straight edge band. You tell him he's on the sauce he'll probably serve you your teeth. His physique screams power lifter. He's not the first hardcore musician to compete in PW.
Here's the guitar player from Death Before Dishonor far right. He was always a big guy. Then he started competing and got jacked once he got serious about training.

I bumped into this dude at a show. Absolute unit. Isn't he the one who's married to the shouter of walls of Jericho who is a powerlifter herself (see the video of "born strong" from madball for reference, haha).

I saw dbd a few month ago on their first europe tour since forever. Brian got really old, they played a little too fast, but still fucking kicked ass. The time where they were frequently touring europe were the best years. One of the few all time great bands of the genre and great dudes, from what I can tell.


On topic: I think the shouter from harms way was more jacked earlier in the band history. Never cared for them as I can't stand his grunting but that's how I remember it. Would bet small amount of money, single digits, on anabolic PED use in the past.

Side topic: in my personal experience, around 90% of straight edgers took a hard break from drugs because of excessive use in the past and/or are posers, mostly quitting this lifestyle after a few months or low single digit amount of years. Estimated 99% of those who frequently mention that they are straight edge or paint x on their hands have serious issues (some of them for a transient time because of puberty) and are phonys whose reasoning is seldom sincere like "just trying to live physically or mentaly healthier for myself" or "just trying to be cool" but often pompous like "trying to reduce harm for all living creatures" while doing absolutly nothing that has a direct harm reducing or benefiting effect to their surrounding environment.
100% of those edgers that act aggressive towards anyone for the only reason of moderate consumption of drugs are losers. Well known fact. Empircally validated through countless replications.

Legend has it hat straight edge originated because the dudes from minor threat unsuccsessfully tried to score booze in clubs while underaged, therefore the x as marker. Won't vow for the validity of that statement

The people in the mosh pit are some of the biggest nerds I've ever seen wtf. Is this an anime convention? They're doing like hadokens and shit

"It was very easy for me to take those frustrations out on the sports field, however that transitioned later when I was in high school to lifting weight. I got into bodybuilding, and then I got into powerlifting. I've always been very pro body image and having confidence in how you look to make you feel better."

Discipline and structure are crucial in helping him find equilibrium in his life, and the frontman credits his father with helping instill the strong work ethic that he applies to everything from teaching and music, to lifting and his drug-free lifestyle.

So it’s been many years since I’ve been to a concert with a mosh pit so can somebody please explain the social distancing thing happening in the video.

Wasn't this guy banging Tina Turner back in the day?

Huh? The band rocks: it's the "singer" that sucks.

You do you man. For me, the singer is tuffguy hardcore vocalist 101 and the band sounds like a weak hardcore band who just discovered Entombed and esrly 90s death metal. Granted, I've never been much of a hardcore/crust/punk fan because next to none of them have good riffs or sound fierce enough and always have rather shit vocals....outside of Union of Uranus, His Hero is Gone, some Japanese bands, etc.

No this guy is natural. People can achieve that pretty easily, escpecailly with good genetics. He looks fairly strong and has decent mass. Looks like a power lifter physique.

He would be an average guy at your average gym.

[sissypunch]

I like how he left his arms free of Tatts so he can get a regular job after his band breaks up

Gotta think ahead.

On a side note, what have mosh pits become. Back in my day, you were kind of bumping into people and you'd get a little sore, but not a big deal at all. These kids are throwing hooks and randomly doing kicks as they move across...

Yeah, but did you make anyone laugh doing it like that? It's clearly evolved into something superior.

Some of it really did bring back memories of school and the special needs kids and how I imagine a dance-off between them could have looked like.

Yeah, Frankie married her. They make music. They compete in meets. I went to one of their shows back in the day. Good set.
