And one for
@Rhianne . Been thinking, doing some deep looking at stuff. Here's where I think we got the origins of the "Rattle & Hum" which then got hijacked by U2 much later. It also demonstrates where the term head banger comes from. Angus had already started head banging with Let There Be Rock though. This shows it clearly by the fans. You'll notice it's also showing a mosh pit, right up against the stage. People are moshing. Nobody is getting hurt or looking to do hurting.
Sadly we cannot have this anymore. In part because of some other way head banging got defined. Police come in and raided a concert, they banged heads alright, with billy clubs. The fans dispersed, ended the concert. So then, people going and getting into the "pits" got aggressive. See what fun :authorities" bring?
Moshing was something which arguably could be considered spiritual. You got in a tight bunch of folks and stood swaying, banging your head in time with the music, moshing against everyone around you doing the same. Everybody got soaked in sweat, everybody got to release all the nasty toxins in their bodies. Everybody came away drained but recharged too.
Everybody "rattled and hummed".
Shamanistic cultures understand this. Why else do Native Americans to this day have dance circles? They don't care if you waltz, you just move along twitching. You're in a pit, keep it moving. Stay in time, in the present but also not there. You get soaked, you keep going until the drums quiet and silence. Afterwards you're still rattling and humming. It's almost as if you bring a sweat lodge out in the open, for everyone to join in.
Does that create power? Yes indeed. Is that a frightening thing? Well apparently some think it is frightening. They don't want people knowing they have power, each person is so powerful.
