They played "Denise"  :(

I really like the new t-shirt design. Yet another reason to be bummed for not being able to fly/drive to California and go.

the show was awesome, they actually had TWO encores. people weren't going away after the first encore, but i was already getting ready to leave and they come back for Rocks... we stormed the stage and i started moshing. i wasn't one of the drunk idiots who was moshing for every song and being a jackass, though. those guys almost ruined the show for us... but the crowd was at least very excited. ozma was definitely a little rusty, but that's ok! Samuel show.

they didnt play flight of yuri, they played korobeiniki in its stead. people were going insane over incarnation blues, and they quickly played tetris right after it. i actually fell a couple of times because people were going INSANE.

I was there too, with "I Like Ozma", and some other people. It was great. Teaneck was really good as well. Real good. That brought to are attention that Teaneck's drummer is in Ghost Bros.

[spoiler]I was in the pit for a little bit having fun. He he. Yet, I was not one of the drunk ones. ::)[/spoiler]

Oh yeah!

I was one of those drunk idiots moshing to just about every song! I couldn't quite figure out why more people weren't going crazy. Best band ever!

I'm going 10x harder next time.

See ya'll at the next show in LA!

Right on man.  I was there.  I didn't participate in the moshing, but those guys were so into it.  I hope they come to every show to make things more interesting.  Please come to the next LA show "Mosh Guys"  WE NEED YOU!!!

nothing more annoying than getting elbowed in the face by some sweaty douchebag or trying to save someone from getting trampled to death during "baseball"


people go to shows to HAVE A GOOD TIME to good music. when your good time consists of ruining someone else's shit, you are a douchebag and should be taken down or at least thrown out of the fucking venue.

Swearing on an Ozma forum, really?

We slowed it down for songs like Baseball and Nathalie Portman and raged on songs like Rocks and Incarnation Blues.

Ya gotta get up to get down.

God forbid some people want to go to a show and hear the band playing, not get an unwarranted elbow to the freakin head.   ::)

Not to mention if you're trying to take vids/pics.


I would love if they play Denise tomorrow.  One of my favorite unreleased tracks.

moshing at an ozma concert, really?

sure, but i still don't see why moshing has to be the ultimate form of enjoying fast paced songs. it's more of an outlet for aggression, appropriate for punk or death metal shows. at least people who go to those kinds of shows expect that sort of thing.
i wouldn't say ozma's music advocates being stupidly aggressive or inconsiderate to other people who just want to enjoy the show without worrying about getting bruises.

sorry about the swearing, i thought we were passed the "OMG THIS IS TEH INTERNET LOL" phase.

Yes. I would say that the moshing that occurred defiantly is not the same as metal moshing. Calling it moshing is a little deceptive actually. It was not hurtful at all, for me anyways.

Also, it mostly occurred in one little area so that if you where really bothered by it you did not have to be by it. So I don't know how it would almost ruin a show for some people.

As far as I seen there was no elbows in the face.

Anyways, a lot of the people who just stood there looked bored and upset. I am not saying it is not enjoyable to just stand and listen, but I find there is a unexplainable joy in stupid things such as this.

maybe they stood there and looked bored and upset because they were sick of dealing with people who mosh at ozma shows.
keep in mind that pretty much everyone there was there to see ozma. i'd imagine that to be a happy experience. hell, it's a happy one for me... until i suddenly get knocked on my ass (true story). and i'm a decently burly guy.

the last ozma show i went to, my friend's glasses were broken in a mosh. granted, i'm sure no one intended for that to happen, but that's what will inevitably happen when a group of people decide to get rowdy with everyone around them. there are varying degrees of moshing but they all require bodies being thrown at each other. elbows in the face are mostly accidental, but highly possible in that situation. i recall the band actually stopping a song to tell people to chill out (a show back in 2004).

true, the moshes occur in small areas... because the majority don't want to be involved in a mosh at an ozma show. unless they're looking for it, nobody wants to leave a show with bruises and broken personal items.

not "moshing" doesn't mean "just standing there"
i "dance," or attempt to. i'm just happy that i'm sharing a rocking moment with one of my favorite bands. last thing i want or expect is for a wave of 20 people to knock me over.

I love getting really into the music at a show.  And I was on Friday  However, that being said, I think the crowd as a whole decides what it wants to be.  And in the case of Friday's show the "moshing" was just stupid, in my opinion.  It was mostly 2 or 3 drunken immature kids charging around in the crowd.  As far as avoiding it, I showed up around 7:30 so I could be right at the stage.  If i have to stand 20 rows off the stage because i don't want to get crashed into, that's crap.  I thought i was in front of the moshing area (it would be a joke to call it a pit), but one of the dumb drunks smashed into me from behind and broke my new cell phone.  I just got it a couple months ago and it's going to cost me ~$200 to replace.  In my opinion, that isn't cool.  No one wants that.

Also, to the drunk 16 year old chick who thought she was Samuel because she could stand on stage, we were there for Ozma, not you.  I hope some other people saw the look Star gave her.  I thought it was disrespectful to get on stage when it was their show.

Ok, I'm done ranting.  Aside from the phone I had an Samuel time.  I hope they come back soon, I'll always show.

but uh, i thought it was rude when a couple of guys would boo members teaneck or reeve oliver.
maybe they were kidding, but that's totally impolite. >:[

Ok. This is getting a tad ridiculous.

Any concert I go to. Moshing or not. Everything comes out of my pockets, off my head, and off my face. I don't role in with a cell phone, a wallet or my glasses for that reason - any concert has the potential to get rowdy and bodies can bump and things get broken. Leave all that stuff behind.

In regards to me and my friends "moshing" (as was stated earlier I don't even think you could call it that) -- I mean what can I say? We were so jacked up that were seeing the best band in the world, it's a Friday, we'd been drinking at the Powerhouse beforehand, the setlist was Samuel...I mean you combine all those things and we got excited. That being said, the pit was so low key. We weren't trying to hurt each other and when someone fell down we made a point of helping them back up -- all in the Ozma spirit. We tried to sing along to every song and jumped around as much as we could. Me and some other dude, pushed some guy out of the pit because he was being an a**hole and trying to make it aggressive and out of control. We forcibly pushed him out and he never came back in. We definately don't want anyone getting hurt (granted, that is a possibility, but a risk you take). See, I've been in crazy pits before - at a Slightly Stoopid or a No Motiv concert. Those suck because they're out of control and people are actively trying to hurt eachother. Not the case at the Ozma show. If it was like that I would have stopped it.

I love Ozma so much I have a hard time containing myself at shows. I know the standard Ozma show is people standing around bobbing their heads. We just let it all out last Friday, and it was hands down, pants off, the most fun I have ever had at the numerous Ozma shows I've been too.

thank you. when you are more concerned about watching out for your safety, than what's going on onstage, then the show stops being fun. these morons almost ruined it for me. someone also elbowed my girlfriend in the face.

that's fine and good. i wasn't there, so i can't exactly vouch for you guys. but other people who have posted here have done so.

and i understand that it's not fair for you especially, because you feel singled out and that you did nothing wrong. this is most likely the case.
but it goes with the territory if you associate yourself with that behavior ("i was one of the drunk guys...")

all i'm trying to point out is that there's a certain lack of consideration for other people (ESPECIALLY at ozma shows) when "moshes" start--by drunk people no less. it may be fun for you, but you should at least realize that you're giving other people a shitty time at an otherwise awesome/joyous occasion. i fucking love ozma, too... let's not make this a contest. again, i just have a different way of getting into the music.

if anything, you do understand why people don't necessarily go "crazy" at ozma shows, right?

all i'm trying to point out is that there's a certain lack of consideration for other people (ESPECIALLY at ozma shows) when "moshes" start--by drunk people no less. it may be fun for you, but you should at least realize that you're giving other people a shitty time at an otherwise awesome/joyous occasion. i fucking love ozma, too... let's not make this a contest. again, i just have a different way of getting into the music.

if anything, you do understand why people don't necessarily go "crazy" at ozma shows, right?Ã,  Ã,

I don't feel singled out. I'm just trying to defend what some overly dramatic people think is offensive rock concert behavior.

Listen, it's a rock show. You may catch some moshing, you may not. I've been to plenty of Ozma shows where there hasn't been any moshing and some where there has -- in fact I've been to Ozma shows where I've hardly seen anyone moving. I totally respect people who just want to go and watch and not go "crazy" -- that's how I am most of the time I see Ozma. But if you go into a concert with the mindset that it's just going to be a bunch of people like yourself standing around listening to music, then you have another thing coming.

You want to go to a show and get close to the stage? Expect some jostling. Expect some drunk idiots pushing and yelliing. Expect some moshing. Not saying it's always going to happen. Just expect it -- even for Ozma.

so much drama! next ozma show, all the wussy ozma fans with girlfriends (haha) should beat up all the tough guy ozma fans. the ensuing fiasco will finally get ozma the press attention they deserve!

"5 wussy ozma fans killed raped in friendly moshing incident turned deadly!"

Was this really funny or necessary?

not any more than the initial quote. which was funny and necessary.

dude, i totally expect that shit whenever i go to shows. even at ozma shows.
it's still bothersome. i just believe that there's something inherently wrong with it.

can we at least agree that overzealous, sweaty drunk people at shows are annoying?

We most certainly can.  The only moshing I've experienced at an Ozma show was when they were on The Warped Tour, which I expected since it was Warped Tour, and most people weren't there for Ozma.  I was there for Ozma, so I stayed to the side of the front and enjoyed myself, except for when my glasses were knocked off my face and almost broken.  Which sucked. 

Every other show there has not been moshing and I certainly like things better that way.  Most fans of the band like to dance, not bump into people.  We're all better off that way, even if you dance like Carlton Banks.

Dude! "Overzealous, sweaty drunk people" are annoying anywhere you go. Inherently wrong? Please. About as "inherently wrong" as someone acting drunk at a bar. It's expected. When you go to a concert you expect some will be there. You learn to expect and deal with it.

I was just in the pit a couple of times. I finally got out and got some water because I felt really sick from not drinking enough.

idk....i go to ozma concerts to orgasm over ryen and daniels left hands, joses craziness, and star and kenn doing their thing.  i'm there to enjoy and respect their musicianship, not act like an asshole taking attention away from/not paying attention to the real show.

oh, it's alllllll ironic.

and i was talking about something being inherently wrong with people who go gung-ho over moshing at ozma shows when they know that the majority don't want any of that shit going down near them.

I have the Samuel ability to remember useless things and to forget important things frequently. It usualy ends up not for the good.

Yeah, I remember you. Your friends spilled beer on us. My friend said his shirt was drenched in beer. Yeah that was funny.

You guys helped keep the fun in the audience going with the pit.

Yeah, I definately did not bring a beer or have anything to drink during the Ozma set. To my knowledge neither did my friends, but possibly.

Yeah man, we were just having a good time. It might have gotten rowdy a times, but it was definately greatest Ozma show I've ever been too.

I look forward to rocking out with you in the future.

For the record, MOSHING at the ozma concert was very fun! U know if u wouldve done it you would have had a lot of fun. Maybe you r embarressed or r afraid to have fun but for everyone that was there that did it had a lot of fun.... NEXT TIME I ADVISE ALL THOSE WHO GOT A PROBLEM TO SAY SOMETHING THERE ! U WILL BE IN THE MIDDLE GUARANTEED! WE HAD FUN! STOP COMPLAINING AND "TRYING" TO BE "COOL."
