My dad is at least the cool metal dad. He went to see Megadeth with me and my sister and somehow he got caught in a mosh when he didn't know what was happening. He said he felt as if he was and 18yo rugbier again when a random drunk dude bounced off of him as if he was a brick wall and into the ground
bands do take requests though occasionally. The only requests they wont honor are ones that they physically can't perform, like ones with featured guests that aren't on that particular tour.
I did something similar, but when I heard the first note of a song, I'd be fucking amped and say the name. It was at a Black Sabbath concert last year. But I really had to though, most of the people kind of stood there not yelling or cheering for them throughout the show in the front seats most of the time. It kind of sucks too when you try to bring out a lighter and people use their god damn phones as lights. Really felt like me and the band were the only souls there man.
I was at an Opeth gig in London, and the amount of people shouting for them to play Free Bird actually got to the point where Akerfeldt decided to be the worlds biggest cock tease and actually play the first bar of sweet home Alabama XD
I do respect them, but there are times where I just can't get into them. I'm not dissing unknown bands either; I've bought a good amount of EPs from unknown bands at shows I went to. I'll give an example: I recently went to a show and saw Coheed and Cambria. Glassjaw was one of the openers. They're a pretty well-known band but holy crap, I felt like they went on forever. They weren't my style at all and I couldn't wait for them to finish. On the other hand, Thank You Scientist was the other opener and they were amazing (imo). I have all of their albums now. Sorry to Glassjaw fans, just not my cup of tea.
+Drummer4Life321 I felt that way when UFO was opening for Judas, I mean, UFO is good and all, but get on with the fucking show! I payed money to see Judas, not UFO.
I remember I was at a concert once and I was at like the front middle area and this fangirl in front of me like 13 came with her mom and people were crowd surfing and one crowd surfer fell on the mom haha xD
I used to go to concerts with my dad til I was 17, I remember him being the tall scary dude in the back just playing something on his phone lmao I love him
***** It would be really awesome if you made a full version of the song that played from 0:27 to 0:41. Btw every music track in the video was cool ,but the one that i pointed out was the coolest one.Keep up with the good work.
0:42 RUN! GO GO GO THIS IS A MOSH PIT! RUN IN CIRCLES! That reminds me of that one episode of spongebob with the clam. Anyways, in the episode, the announcer guy says "Please scream and run around in circles." Lol
My first gig was full of 'Give me the mic' and 'Divers' and the whole crowd yelling 'One more song' despite the singers losing their voices (and was noticeable because there were starting to be less and less screams), the Guitarist's string breaking and my sweaty ass was on the verge of unconsciousness because of how tired I was playing the drums.
Oh, I know this is a year old, but a while ago at a local show, there was a couple in the front row, just bumping and grinding the whole show. To metal.
Lets not forget the one (well, at least one) guy at every gig with a While She Sleeps logo shirt, I have genuinely never been to a gig and not seen one. I bet they're even present at the likes of One Direction gigs, but Im not fascinated enough to put this theory to the test.
I've honestly never seen their merch at gigs. I pretty much only see tech death, prog, and power metal though, so if they're a core band, I wouldn't be surprised that I'm not familiar with them.
Everyone is 'the camera guy' at gigs now and it fucking sucks. They're all looking at the show through their cameras rather than actually experiencing the event.
Gaz I was once in the front row of a local show, sort of similar to AC/DC, and there was this one guy who didn't realise he still had beer in his bottle. He used the most force possible and flipped that whole bottle upside down to use it as a microphone, and ended up basically throwing his whole beer on everyone around him, and almost hit the singer, too...
Or that one dude trying to carry 8 beers from the bar all the way back to the front row where he came from and one or two beers inevitably ending up on the floor or spilled over some dude
One of the best things during a concert is honestly yelling a lyric together with everyone, and at the end when everyone starts yelling "one more time/song"
Th1sA1NtDaNnY Had two guys complaining when Tim started to sing a few acoustic songs next to me. Good, you don't know how much I wanted to punch them. LMAO
Dude, your videos are fucking awesome. I get a good laugh out of ones like these and are blown away at your guitar, drumming and vocal skills. Keep up the good work dude!
The most annoying thing about the camera guys is that most of them record videos in portrait rather than landscape THEN COMPLAIN that they didn't get all of the band in
I like the "give me the mic" The way you were mouthing out the obscenities like the part with the "MOTHER...I'LL PUNCH YOOOOOOOU!!!!" My second favorite is the running man/circle pit one. Love your videos, dude!
Also, "guy who doesn't know when to quit" might be a good one. You know, that guy who almost always leaves about a quart of his blood on the floor by the end of the show? Usually me. I've been knocked out twice, had a piercing ripped out, had my nose broken 3 times, etc. In fact, my nose is kinda crooked now after having been broken so many times (it's been broken a total of 5 times, 3 of which were at shows).
"Unimpressed douche", "waiting for a headliner" and "are they done yet?" - that's me on festivals and such. Especially if you're on a gig of a band AFTER some other awesome guys have ended their gig and you're looking for who isn't done yet.
My mom used to take me to metal shows 18+ when I was younger and the venue we always went to had a seating area towards the back and she would wear noise cancelling headphones and read a book while I was in the mosh pit. She's the best mom ever
hahaha definitely agree with that ending after playing a show I'm so sweaty and exhausted and whenever I'm at a gig I'm probably more like the banger or the run in pit guy lol
The parent one reminded me, whenever me and my band play, (I love my group of guys, they tell me go nuts on the drums haha, back to the point) my dad is always the guy starting the mosh pit, if he doesn't, you better believe he's all up in there haha
The only person you can be decently is yourself, don't allow another to tell you who to be, in the end even that person will hate you. If you are yourself, only those that you want in your life (those that like you for who you really are) will be there, the rest will weed themselves out
Lmao the parent is so accurate, I went to a concert recently and there was this guy with his daughter and was constantly checking his phone for the time and looked so uncomfortable
