Quote examples
Billie Eilish
American Singer
I felt like, for so many years - and I still even feel it - as a girl, you can't really expect to go on stage and dress like a boy and jump around and scream with the audience and mosh and stuff, and every time that happens, I feel really proud.
Quote examples
Schoolboy Q
American Musician
You've got to be like a fan at your show, just wild out. I make eye contact. I get in the crowd and kick it with 'em, stage dive, mosh. I make 'em laugh. I go out there and turn up, have fun. There's no set list; I don't have rehearsals.
Quote examples
Rhea Ripley
Australian Wrestler
Music does help me a lot with my character, with the fact that I have to have a really good theme song, something that I can get into while I'm walking down the ramp. It puts me into that mindset that I'm going into a mosh pit.
Quote examples
Bob Marley
Jamaican Singer
The devil ain't got no power over me. The devil come, and me shake hands with the devil. Devil have his part to play. Devil's a good friend, too... because when you don't know him, that's the time he can mosh you down.
Quote examples
Kevin Federline
American Musician
I'm learning what I gotta do to get people hyped up. It doesn't matter even if they're not dancing, as long as they're bobbing their head and as long as it looks like a mosh pit down there.
Quote examples
Hank Williams III
American Musician
There's a lot of different moods that come across in my shows. Even when I'm playing a slow waltz song, sometimes there's crowd-surfing. Most of the time there's a mosh pit.
Quote examples
Gallagher
American Comedian
I was the first one to allow a projectile to come off of the stage and into the audience. And I kind of take responsibility for the mosh pit.
Quote examples
Blake Anderson
American Comedian
A lot of my music that I like puts energy in your body or makes you want to dance or break something or just go mosh or jump around.
