Maybe if they had been putting on a better show, dude wouldn't have been on his phone.

Jackasses everywhere, regardless of the show, are on their cellphones these days. I don't blame performers for being pissed off about it.

Plus, the guy was doing that shite in the front row, right up against the stage. Who the frick gets that close only to not pay attention? It's not like it's some chick whose boyfriend drug her to a metal show she had no interest in seeing.

Cellphones have ruined the concert going experience in many respects. The only time I don't see them are at underground or dingy clubs where bands like Napalm Death perform. However, every other theater or arena I have been to for a concert is plagued by them.

People are too busy recording or photographing to frickin' stop and watch the show without looking at a digital screen. Even worse, older fans will hold them up and wave them around as if to mimic the glow of a lighter. That is one of the lamest things I can imagine. And finally, the younger generations can't go more than a few minutes without getting on the Internet, texting, or Snapchatting with someone.

Just frickin' live life and put down the goddamn electronic device.

Rant over.
