What goes on at a metal concert?

Nile is playing in Seattle on Wednesday, and I'm considering going with my friends. However, what do people do for 3-4 hours at a death metal concert? I know some people mosh, but my knee is injured right now and I'm not too into moshing either way. What else is there to do?

try headbanging

Listen to the darn music?

Then you stand in the back, or if they have a balcony, go up there and just watch. That's what I did at a metal show last night, got up on the balcony and watched the chaos below, very entertaining.Dreamerdude26

It matters what genre and the size of the concert/gig.

Watch Karl Sanders shred the guitar?

I was responding to the title, anyways once your closer to the band people will be head banging, farther away there will be mosh pits.

I generaly dont go do Death metal concerts cuz im not realy a fan of it...

Well some people get so drunk they dont know up from down and right for north... Then you got Headbanging... But Metal is preaty ruthless with the beats so watch yourself, i totaly wasted my neck muscles on my first few concerts, and that doesent feal good in the mornin'. Ofcourse you could just get yourself in the first row and just rest on the railing/stage.

And the crowd at small metal concerts is preaty much one huge mosh pit so.. yeah :D

Mosh, smoke, drink, scream until your lungs bleed. That sounds about right

All of what is listed above is what happens. You can always sit down to watch the show. If there are seats of course.
