Four songs, that’s all I need…

Alright, so now we know the setlist, and it’s exactly like I expected. A few songs to open and get us all warmed up, then Bleed American in full, with a 4-5 song encore. Which lines up perfectly for….

A giant, awesome, friendly, dancey, mosh pit. I’m talking jumping up and down, singing at the top of your lungs with a bunch of strangers type of pit.

I know we’re old, I know our knees hurt, and I know we’re tired. But when Bleed American starts, we have to go NUTS. You go nuts for 3 songs, get a break for Your House to catch your breath, and then we all sing Sweetness at the top of our lungs. That’s it, just 4 songs that I need you for. They didn’t write these songs for you to be standing in the back, looking around. They wrote them so you could stand right in the middle of the crowd, on your feet, good to go. (Sorry, I had to.)

To be clear, I will not start a mosh pit that no one wants. I will not be the jerk that pushes people and tries to force people into a pit. I completely respect anyone that doesn’t want to be in a pit, and you have every right to enjoy the show however you want! I’m just looking for those that DO want to go nuts, so we can do it together!

I’ll be at the Chicago show, weather pending. Join me in the the pit there, or start one at your own show, and let’s make this tour feel like it’s 2001 again!!!

(And to anyone scared of mosh pits, a better word for them at shows like this would be dance floor. That’s really all it is. It’s not violent, it’s not dangerous, this isn’t a hardcore show. It’s a dance floor, plain and simple!)
