The glorious pile-on

Last Monday’s Victims gig reminded me of how much fun hardcore shows could be – especially without karate-kicking idiots. Yet it brought back memories of Sick of It All’s “Step Down,” the classic video cataloguing hardcore dances: The Windmill, The Pizzamaker, and my favorite, Pickin’ Up Change. It’s strange how humans react to music in such stylized ways. (If you get me drunk enough, I will do the Top 10 Techno Dances by Germans for you.) This video needs a metal equivalent, for headbanging. Calling Amon Amarth!
