Do those bands perform ballads? Rhythm said that ballads are quite like mating calls. He didn't say all music was.
Music videos are staged, even if they take place at concerts. Oftentimes, they convince the crowd to have overblown mosh pits. Most women remove themselves from near the stage when mosh pits break out at a metal show. You can find them near the back or, in the case of the Palladium, on the balcony. I have been at many shows where they are filming videos. Static X at the Brockton Fairgrounds, Black Label Society at Ozzfest, Slipknot at Ozzfest for a rockumentary, etc. It's all the same. "Hey guys, we're filming this. We need you to go fucking crazy!" Commence wall of death.
