layne staley started going off on the crowd for how stupid the people of louisiana were for nearly voting david duke into office of governor or whatever it was he ran for around that time. the crowd just about boo'd them off the stage. after the show, people were throwing all kinds of shite at them as they were boarding their bus


He proved a point.

Especially for acoustic shows. Drives me crazy. I've seen the performer literally stop the show and ask people to be quiet


Dylan bootleg from 60's I'm not sure which one (sure someone else has heard it and knows off the top of their head) the crowd gets loud and he starts mumbling:

"mumblemumblemumble" crowd slows down and gets quieter to try and understand him, "mumble mumble if only you wouldn't clap so hard"

I thought it was the coolest thing I'd ever heard the first time I listened to that album.

I dare someone to go post this on the rant

quote:

10. Yelling "Sit down!" at people who are standing up.

This is a real problem at theater and arena shows that attract fans over the age of, say, 40. Nobody can quite agree when to stand or when to sit down. Inevitably, there are some people standing right in front of people that wish to remain seated. Between songs, someone will scream "Sit down!" The stander either obliges, or yells back something like "Go frick yourself." The person in the seat just seethes with rage, and the tension seeps through the whole section. Often the person is standing only because someone in front of them is standing. It leads to chaos, and grumpy old people spending the entire show miserable. This has to stop. Here's a simple rule of thumb: If you can't see, stand up. It's very easy. Inversely, if everyone in front of you is seated, sit down. Go with the flow and just relax. We're all in this concert together.

Not so much people singing along to the smash hit, but I've been at some shows where people sang almost every song on the setlist, the whole song through.


Hey dipshit, I didn't come to see you in concert. And by the way, you're tone deaf and very flat/sharp if you hit the note at all.

I'm guilty of singing along. I never even realized singing at a concert was faux pas. Usually the music is loud enough no one can hear me.

People who sit when they need to get off their arse and jam. You can go home and sit in your living room. Also, I get annoyed with anyone who thinks that singing along with the music is a faux pas. Never heard of that shite. Must be some new thing that the kids are doing these days. I remember the concerts of yesteryear where everybody sang along. As long as your not singing louder than the friggin band, who is going to hear you anyway?

What about "Air Drummer Guy"?

I'm totally guilty of this--especially at a rock show.

It took both of my arms to keep up with the one-armed drummer from Def Leppard.

I'd say he is correct, but should know his crowd better.
