Being "that guy" at a show

Oh and all hula hoopers should stay in the back

I know. Once, I saw the Allman Brothers at the Saenger and I'd eaten a bunch of shrooms, but all these old people kept telling me to sit down. it was not a sit down kind of show.

I don't mind standing at a show even when there are seats, but I also can enjoy the show just as much when sitting. If you couldn't get floor (standing room) tickets, you should at least respect everyone else's preference for standing / sitting.

As far as moshing and crowdsuring goes, a big F U to you people.

If I'm at a rock show I'm going to stand up end of story.... If you don't want to stand up then stay at home.

and if I am sitting, I am doing so in the balcony and everyone is sitting.

If you can't stand for 90 minutes, then you might want to go to a movie instead of a show.

What really grinds my gears are assholes who shriek "Wooooooo!" during solo pieces, particularly fingerstyle guitar.

i agree.

I do like a well placed freebird though.

I actually almost got into a fight at a show b.c the guy next to me was whistling in my ear during the show. I asked him to quit. He got really irrate, luckily a venue employee came over and asked him to cut it out before it escalated.

I will admit that I am that a-hole who sings along even though I sound like Leon Redbone with laryngitis.

I went and saw Sleigh Bells at the Varsity and everyone was into it and it was packed but there was this goth couple who both were over 300 lbs who were acting like they were in an Insane Clown Posse mosh pit. They had a 20 ft area to themselves because they were swinging around so wildly.

What pisses me of the most at concerts is when people just have to be right at the stage and will push people out of the way to get there and they just ruin everyones time because you cant even put your arms down its so packed.

Totally fine with getting unintentionally bumped into if I'm up front, even ok with an occasional free bird. I just hate people who sing along at the top of their lungs, you know all the words, we get it.

Yeah I am definitely that guy and I try to contain myself, but I just cant help it sometimes.

Guys who bring their girlfriend to metal shows, when its obvious their girlfriend doesn't like metal, and want to get up front in the mosh but don't want anyone touching their girlfriend are the worst.
