dave4444 Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 request guy can be annoying but he can also be hilarious, when i saw Mad Caddies this guy kept yelling Contraband, even after they had played it, so during the encore they played it a 2nd time, it was pretty funny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonesomexloveus Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 last night i was at a show and there was a....larger...girl there who thought it was ok to mosh. or dance. i'm not sure what she was doing, but she thought she was super good at whatever it was. ...and she was the only one doing it. so really, i wasn't so much annoyed as i was horrified/amused.

rtw88 Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 The only people that really bother me are people who really want to fight and people who are desperately seeking attention. By the attention thing, as an example, I was at a show once with a really drunk guy and he kept standing right in front of people during a band until they would high five him, and putting his arm around people he didn't know even though people kept telling him to stop. Oh, and sorority girls that take a bunch of pictures while a band is playing, but facing away from the band so the band is in the picture. It's weird. I've seen it a couple of times now since I live in a college town at some weird shows. Otherwise, I think shows are a safe place for people to have fun or let off some steam. I don't really care what someone else is doing as long as they have some sort of courtesy towards others and the band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcm1610 Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 I only get down in the pit for bands I really like a shitton, and I'm alright with whatever happens. I think I only really get annoyed by the douches who just shove through the crowd because it's just rude, and for some reason the pogo-stick people annoy me. You know, the "let's jump up and down the entire concert!" people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melikecheese Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 People who complain about not being able to see over the tall beast in front of them. If you're short, get there early! Thank you! I get shit all the time when I'm up front at shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melikecheese Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 People who think their annoying concert quirks are somehow permissible while discussing everyone else's annoying concert quirks. this one big time. And when you are taller then just about everyone there its hard not to stand in front of a shorty. Sorry, but if there is a hole in front of you move up and fill it. If you wont I will.

minty Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 People who don't sing along. People who don't have fun. People that stage dive more than once to the same song. People that don't know how to crowd surf properly and kick others in the face. People who shout for the same song over and over and over and over and over. (They are not going to play it, just shut up.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcm1610 Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Yea, there's a Ben Nichols boot from the first Revival Tour where some drunken asshole keeps yelling "KISS THE BOTTLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLE!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldsnap Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 people that have no idea who's the band they are seeing. like that time i went to the brand new/crime in stereo show a few months ago. i was going to see brand new(of course) but also to see crime in stereom (which is one of my fav band). so i get there, the show had already started and it was CIS opening, so i hurry up and try to make it to the front, or atleast the most i can. so i was almost at the front, i try to pass this guy and he looks at me and says ''i won't let you do that man'', i look at him and said ''do you know who's that band playing right now'' and he answered ''no, not really'' so i answered back '' well i know who they are, so move''. people are stupid.

eddieruckus Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 the only thing htat really bothered me at a show was when I went to see Against Me not too long ago, I was watching Tim Barry with my buddy and he was singing along and finger pointing when some frat boy looks at him in disgust and goes " can u please move over if youre going to do that".. I thought that was kinda fucked up, its a punk show dude but then again, against me draws a completely different crowd than they used to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djones0930 Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 ' well i know who they are, so move''. people are stupid. When you get to the point in the pile where there's no more room to advance, THERE WILL ALWAYS BE ROOM. Here's the trick: (depending on your body size, get your biggest friend to do this) Be kind and confident while saying to the person blocking the way "Hey, man do you see a short dude with a black hat?" "JASON!!! JASON!!!" Then go find Jason. Or Tom. Or Mike. Or Sexy Lexi -- fuck, whoever. Just keep breaking through the people in search of your lost friend. When you find your spot, say "fuck, where is he?!" and stay put. Then thank the people around you, and fistfuck the sky. I did that at the Portugal show last week and, well, it was definitely easier because I'm 6'3" and most of the people there were a bit shorter, but extremely worth it. I totally agree if they don't know the band, get the fuck out of the way. I stayed off to the side while Port O'Brien and The Dig played because I could see other people who knew that shit were there at the front for demshitz (awesome bands by the way) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laurenxvx Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 I saw Alkaline Trio two nights ago and the only people that bothered me were: -Drunk mom trying to make out with my boyfriend -Drunk girl who was getting really mad at people standing all around her and screaming "Fuck you" to every person who accidentally stumbled into her. -Overprotective man in the Samhain shirt with his arms against the rail who kept swaying into me to keep people away from him/them. I felt like I was on a boat or something. Redeeming part: Misfits cover at the end of the night. (Angelfuck - it ruled) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
