I dunno, i may seem outta line here, but i wanna defend your point.
Slamming was w/Sid & Co. (for those who are clueless: The Sex Pistols)
or maybe i should refer to them as Johnny & Co. anyhoo...who cares? That 
seems to be the time and musical period that slamming was founded and 
practiced mostly...however it DID carry on into the early 80's from my 
recollection...now moshing became familiar to me about 4 years ago
 w/fame of Pearl Jam...so i guess i'd concur w/Sly on this one...although 
being a pretty non-violent person, i just always kind of stayed on the 
fringes of the crowd....my bones are pretty fragile compared to other 
ppl's, so i didn't wanna be laid up and out of work for any length of 
time!

well, i'm no expert on the matter....this is just my fraction of a 
nickel's worth (tm)....<-----how i love that little phrase! ;)
