Didn't see it on the list and I know I'm in the minority, but I'm not a fan of people singing along at shows.

9. Filming the entire show on your iPhone.


Brought my woman to her favorite band's concert as a Christmas present. Videoed EVERY song, in it's entirety. Annoying.

Pushing your way to the front.

I don't think there's any shittier behavior than this. If you want to be in the very front, get there hours early like all of those people did.

3. Incessantly talking to your friends.



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

I don't like the "incessant talkers", the folks that yell out requests or the latecomers pushing to the front.

When I'm near the Front and leave for a beer run, I try to acknowledge those I pass ("thank you", eye contact, "Old Man Coming Through") on the way out. Usually they'll recognize me on the way back, making it easier to reclaim my spot.

The constant talking pisses me off more than anything.

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.

How is forming a mosh pit not number 1? I hate that shite. I get to a show ahead of time to see Rise Against at the House of Blues, and a bunch of a-hole teenagers just start running around and pushing and punching everyone else out of the prime area so they can beat up on each other for no reason. frick mosh pits! I want to bang my head without having to punch some tweaking teen every 20 seconds.
