You forgot the 7 foot guy, who’s there by himself, for no reason but to stand directly in front of you. And you can’t move around him because you’re surrounded in reasonably sweat Hispanic dudes with vapes and gages
Just be taller next time, it’s not that difficult. Jk jk I’m the giant that always pisses people off and I totally get it. I try to stay further back though. And I’m usually with people. At shows that aren’t jam packed there’s always a little pocket of empty space behind me hahah
PIT MEDIC! PHAHAHAHAHAHA LMAO!! XD I remember one time in a circle pit at an Unearth show I slipped on a plastic beer glass and almost fell, but managed to stay on my feet and was about to keep going. But instantly, the second I slipped, a huge guy pulls me out of the pit and was like "You okay? Everything good? You need to be careful bro, the floor is slippery." You can tell those kinds of guys play supports for their teams in video games :D
Jared u forgot one guy... The 'this is a great time for a conversation' guy. U know the one screaming 'how was your day' at the top of his lungs, confusing everyone around him
I've seen 'That one old dude' at every concert I've ever been to. You see him drunkenly jamming out to whatever is playing on the PA before the show even starts. Usually shirtless.
+Garith Jonez I was gonna say that one lol. That's usually me. The first time was out of ignorance, I showed up when it said doors open, but hey, it was my first show and I come from the home Havelock Country Jamboree. We don't have metal shows, let alone anyone who knows anything about them. I did pretty good for no guide. Ever since that first Strapping Young Lad show, I have become the Virgil to many heavy metal Dantes in my town.
Omg the alien dialect when Corey was bouncing around like a kid with a happy meal. Slipknot is all around such a funny band. P.s: Has anyone stopped to realize that Sid's job is to do literally whatever he wants? Lucky! 🤘🏻
There's a certain level when it gets ridiculous. I'm trying to put together a battle jacket myself, but I wasn't intending on putting a zillion studs and shit with it, haha.
Sn1pZzx I'm about to be that guy. I mean, who else can you be on a Blind Guardian concert? ...Maybe the stoner, but with a bigger smile and a little more energy.
He forgot about that one person that starts fights in the mosh pits, or the one person that over head bangs/jumps, and they look like their neck is just going to snap off their body(me BTW)
You forgot "the headbanger" guys who just sit up front and headbang and or the guys with the long hair that swing it in a circle (can't think of the name for that)
I'm the unimpressed douche. not because i'm unimpressed, or a douche, but because i don't feel comfortable flailing myself around in a crowd of people.
You should do 10 types of Keyboardists/Keyboard players at concerts: 1. The classic-ly trained one (hella complex, plays every part) 2. The One note player (Strings) 3. The "I act like I'm playing, but it's really just samples and I press play" 4. The "Oh I'm not plugged in" 5. The "I'm louder than everyone else" 6. The "Super complicated Synth Player" (Keytarist) 7. "I'm a keyboardist, but I'm also THE second main vocalist" 8. The I have so much gear, but I only use one piece for this whole set 9. The "Yes I have a keyboard, but I rarely play and I go batshit crazy" 10. The "Nope, he didn't show up, but we have all his parts on this iPod for playback"
You forgot “The Awkward Newbie”: The one who doesn’t exactly know what to do, since it’s the first show they’ve been to, but is still enjoying themselves anyway. (Aka me at the BVB and Asking Alexandria show in February lol)
You forgot "the sardine", when the venue is so packed you can't move. Personally I'm either a "sardine", or a "so you think you can dance". Except I know I can't, but that doesn't stop me
Same here. I have had hats and glasses fly off my head and I usually have to hold onto something so I dont get super disoriented and fall over. Surprised I haven't given myself whiplash.
ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ErUyFK8Dnfs.html Starting about 1:00 - The All or Nothing. Only he does an entry level version. Needs more windmill or figure 8 along with more kneck movement.
I don't see what's wrong with just standing there watching the band play. I've seen Between the Buried and Me live four times and I always try and get the best seat to watch Blake and Dan play(drummer and bassist) because they are so fucking good.
I believe there's a difference between people standing still and watching a show and people who try to look as bored as possible while watching a show. If you think that they are "so fucking good" then you won't probably look unimpressed while seeing them.
Just don't do it at any show where it's anything sort Barrier/Villians kinda vibe. Found out the hard way that you get punched in the face for watching the band play because 'not swinging your arms like an autistic fuck face is gay.'
Matthew Brown Yeah, I started going to shows in New York instead, still has douches like that but not as bad, some of the shows I went to there have been pretty awesome. Seeing Periphery in NYC in 2 months. Can't wait.
I'm a mosher, but there's a correct way to start a mosh and punching isn't it. Usually I end up shoulder bumping someone 2 or 3 times to see if they respond. If not, then no mosh. I think that's pretty respectful.
I'd be a mix of OMG I LOVE THESE GUYS and don't hurt me. Cuz I'd be stoked to see my fave band, but I'm relatively short and don't want to get swept up in a mosh pit or lost in the crowd.
Fun story I was at reading last year main stage watching ffdp when it turned into a pretty brutal mosh like I'm not a small guy and love it but I was even like wtf is this sow a tiny 5ft girl as the wall of death was opening in the middle with nothing but fully grown men around and most of the girls had gone or not that many came in the first place but anyway I was thinking should I go help her she's gonna die in the middle then suddenly she charges at me and punches me in the eye when I was leaving to go back to camp some 6ft guy in front of me was telling his friend about a 5ft girl who ran out of nowhere and pushed him over I think she deserves to be famous
I guess the "please don't hurt me" one can also be the "i want to pit, but those fucking hardcore dancers", if you have that one it's complete. By the way, how weird was it to record this one?
My favorite type of pit is the circle pit... So when their is this fucking emo douchebag punching the air in the middle of the circle pit i get so mad!
I don't get all the hate on hardcore dancing, It's a part of hardcore. It's understandable if there's someone hardcore dancing at a metal show, thats not okay. But hardcore dancing is totally acceptable in hardcore,metalcore and deathcore shows.(maybe slam metal too)
Benjamin not exactly. i brought my friend once at a concert and she didn't even try to pretend to like the music. instead she started reading a book. The last thing i remember is that she was near a moshpit it was still hilarious
Join the club... at Delain (yeah, not especially hardcore, a friend invited me) I was jumping and headbanging so hard that in a fairly packed venue, the guy behind me took a step back and no-one filled the gap. I'm told. I was a bit disorientated, and just noticed that I seemed to be jumping on his feet less.
I have played a lot of shows in my time, and your videos are absolutely hilarious. This may be the best one. Actually made me laugh out loud at work. So thanks...
The best one is that old dude. There's ALWAYS one old dude at every metal show I've been to. And I think it's the same bloke too. When I grow old, I'm gonna be that man.
When me and my friends were high school students we were: "The Shred 'til your dead head" "OMG we love these guys" and "This is sparta" lolol Now we are just: "Whiskey is good" and headbanging hard obviously lmao plus we almost never use our phone just enjoy the wonderful sounds
I hate those guys the most! More Often than not have a backwards cap and the same bottle of beer all night. When they get in front me I sing along extra annoyingly. Seriously, chill man not everybody wants the slag that dragged your sorry ass to the show!
you forgot "the dude who wears a pig mask for some reason" but seriously i was on a Ghost concert and suddenly a guy in a red overall and a pig mask walks right by me 😂
I got clobbered in the back of the head by THAT ONE GUY - a combination of This is Sparta and Whiskey Is Good - at an Amorphis show a couple years ago - it was almost (not quite enough) to ruin the show for me. I was really looking forward to seeing them, it would probably be my only chance to see them in the 'States, and I'm usually pretty easy going, but having that douche-cup throwing circle kicks and yelling "KILL KILL KILL" and trying to start up extra mosh-pits in the back of the crowd whether anyone wanted them or not was really adding up to blow my cool....
I've been there several times. Unimpressed whenever bad music pops up, whiskey is good whenever a song about alcohol pops up (though I prefer to live a clean life without any alcohol), and the following whenever a metal song comes on; this is sparta, shred 'til you're dead head, so you think you can dance, and omg I love these guys.
