Don't Give Me No Lip, with its "pushing and shoving" section is probably responsible for the invention of the mosh pit via the Pistols cover when the audience took it as a cue to push and shove each other.
Nah moshing came well after the demise of the Pistols. From memory of going to gigs of the early UK punk bands I saw. It was pogoing which was great fun. Obviously there were punch ups sadly but moshing came later. Some of the most violent I ever witnessed was the Psychobilly band The Meteors. It was getting primal then and horrible. All the girls I knew were totally put off by all the macho bullshit. In the US it was definitely something that was part of the hardcore scene. Moshing was a load of shit really.
Fair to say that misunderstood footage of the pushin' aaaaand shovin' may have been an influence on the moshers though?

What footage are you referring to mate. The stuff in the Swindle movie where they are grapling?

Hello,

Pogoing was great fun. Mosh pits were stupid and depressing - kind of pictured in Repo Man.

I've mentioned previously being at a Ramones show at Allen's in Scotia, NY (I think t was Scotia...) and there was a big sign behind the band "No Slam Dancing". I always liked that.

Yeah I agree. Punk was about expression and enjoyment and all welcome but slam dancing made it virtually impossible for girls to get involved in the fun.
