Dear Douchebag,
I would first like to say how glad I am that you are enjoying yourself tonight. I think we can both agree that this band is quite "nasty," and I can understand your enthusiasm for the show. However, I disagree on the point of declaring how nasty they are every 60 seconds, at the top of your lungs, over the music. Moreover I would appreciate
not being throttled whilst you seek affirmation from every single audience member around you; we wouldn't be here if we thought they sucked.
I'm wondering if it's totally necessary to call your friend right now? Yes, I know he loves these guys too, and it's really a shame that he couldn't come tonight, but does either of you truly believe there will be any enjoyment derived from listening to a concert via cell phone? Especially when
you're screaming along with the music? On a related note, screaming the guitar solos isn't entirely necessary, considering they're being amplified throughout the club.
Please calm down. I, too, am unhappy that they are playing their new songs. The new album was indeed disappointing, and I know that the old stuff was significantly better. I'm on your side. However, you're making it incredibly difficult to agree with you when you scream for the band to "Fuck this new shit" throughout the entire song. Your protestations are noble, but unnecessary.
Thank you for spilling your beer all down my back. Now I can smell just like you, minus the BO and bong water stench. No, it's fine, really. No, you're not "helping" by patting me down with your filthy bandanna. Stop it! Okay. Yes, you
definitely should get another beer. Who cares if the line's "crazy long"? You need your beer, and I need a few minutes to myself.
Ah. Finally, I can enjoy the band. Wait. What do you mean it's your last song? Are you kidding me?
I want my money back, damnit.

Lmao that guy is fucking HOT.
p.s. I think you write cool posts.
God I hate "That guy". I wonder where these people come from.
lmao!
Is "nasty" part of the new slang? God I'm old
"Nasty"? That's sick bro.
Hahahaha perfect.
P.S. - Please stop jumping and/or swaying/dancing/flailing around with your eyes closed. If that's all you came here to do, you could've saved yourself the money and listened to the record at home alone. I on the other hand came to watch AND listen, and your obliviousness is both painful and distracting.
Great post. Spot on. :}
Kind of sounds like the people who mosh during the slow songs. When I was at a CCR concert people were moshing like crazy. I just wanted to chill out to CCR.
That would of ruined my concert too. I would of done anything to get away from him, just like I did to the guy who got me to the front then proceeded to feel me up when I was 17 [he looked at least 35].
@xjadersx@xanga - then stay away from the pits! ^^
Hahaha...seriously, I mosh like crazy at shows (mind you, i have a huge difference between moshing and "hardcore dancing.") but...CCR? Isn't that Creedence Clearwater Revival?
Who moshes to that?
As for the Douchebag who felt you up....THAT is something me and my friends aim for at shows. I once caught an asshole trying to feel my girlfriend up, and real friendly like, i pretended to get all buddy-buddy with him and brought him into the mosh pit. Me and my best friend knocked him the fuck out in the pit. >=[ It wasn't even a fight. He was just layed out on the floor.
Feeling up girls is a BIG no no at shows.
As for me though - outside of the mosh pit, i can consider myself a mild concer Dbag.
I sing along to every word. (Loudly too if the song calls for it. My voice gave out three songs in at the Nine Inch Nails show on my birthday a few weeks ago)
Last concert I went to I saw a guy pour the rest of his 12 dollar beer on his head, only after harassing my friend for 5 minutes before that. Guy was blitzed off of something, kept yelling random things at people. You could have started a mosh pit with the space people were giving him. Funny thing, he looked exactly like the guy in the picture.
looks at InTheThin..then at will... then at will looking at InTheThin...then at InTheThin looking at will...hmm possible xanga nuptials in progress here?
Mosh mentality is why I pretty much stick to laid-back bands or reggae shows where it is entirely in bad taste to show up piss-drunk and disruptive. I'd rather chill out with my music and relax rather than get knocked down and pushed all over the place by drunk dudes.
Ugh there's always one.
HAHAHAHA! This is hilarious.
one of the last concerts I went to there happened to be about five of these guys... it was very frustrating.
good post by the way.
cool post!! reminds me of a few years back when Pearl Jam played 3 shows in Boston without repeating one song (except for Yellow Ledbetter). for die hard Jammers, these shows were a dream come true. most of us way in the back felt like we were part of something trully special, but there were a few douchbags behind us. throughout the whole show, these donkeys kept yelling, "play evenflow, this shit sucks!!" ultimately, the crowd turned on these 2 or 3 pricks and they shut the fuck up for the rest of the night. the 3 shows Pearl Jam played are must have bootlegs for any fan of the band, especially if you want to hear a bunch of rarities. good stuff!!
good post! you can call yourself lucky...at least your D-bag wasn't a bunch of naziskin looking for beating you up at Rammstein concert.... ;
@pennywise2374@xanga There's nothing better than when the audience turns on those douchebags. Maybe when the band does it. But it totally creates a community in the show when everyone joins forces to stop them. It also makes the douchebag feel like a TOTAL douchebag.
@beforedawn@xanga aw shucks!
I fucking hate those kinds of people. My god, next time just punch him. Turn around and clock him in the face, it's all in the name of rock and roll
@will - hey she is a very pretty and only slightly psychotic young woman and yer not a un-good looking guy yerself so..many happy babies k?
oh gosh i hope i dont run into these people at warped this weekend
you should try a T.I. concert (if he wasn't in jail). at those, the d-bag tries to rape his girlfriend in front of everyone.
Even worse is finding yourself beside two girls who have brought extra pieces of their own self-autographed underwear, and spend the whole concert debating loudly about whether anyone from the band will come within throwing distance...
