ThE bAsS MeKaNiK Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 things i hate at gigs:1. short people. im always falling over them as i try to squeeze through a croud to get "that" spot which will stop as many people as possible from viewing the gig(this is done on purpose of course);2. people who dance. how terrible it is to see people enjoying themselves at gigs. how it must grate on the band to see a crowd jumping up and down and having some fun....3. people who drink at gigs. HOW DARE THEY. when i come to a gig and stand somewhere around the bar it pisses me off to see people actually BUYING booze and soft drinks and the like. i mean, how inconsiderate......4. volume levels. oh how i hate not being able to hear the conversation going on just behind me cause the volume of said live show is too high the list is endless but i think i should stop.......things i love about playing gigs in aberdeen:1. the crowd. its so great to play in aberdeen because every1 just stands around with arms folded, pints in hand, talking to mates, whatever, and then when you finish the song/set, its nice to know that some1 actually enjoyed the gig because of the 2 sets of hands clapping. (seen some excellent bands in aberdeen which have seen said level of appreciation). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pop-notmyface Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 I started wearing earplugs to gigs after Mogwai destroyed my hearing in 1997. It's better than having quiet gigs because the background noise gets drowned out and you can still feel the volume in your body.My all time gig hates are: peopleisn't that what makes a gig feel like a gig, that fact there are other people there too rather than you listening by yourself in your bedroom?

Guest Gasss Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 if nobody else is there is it no longer a gig?I go to see musicians perform. If other people are present, enjoying it and respectful of others, even better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkaline Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 I hate short people at gigs, they seem to automatically think that i should move and let them in front of me so i end up as far away from the stage as possible. I may be tall but i don't have 'eyes of the hawk' like Bravestar did.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gasss Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 maybe there should be a system to organise the audience in order of size, not back to front but from side to side. That way there would be no distance discrimination with height. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bob Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 ...People who go to gigs and spend their whole night pissing and moaning about what other people are doing and nit picking instead of concentrating on enjoying themselves, only to spoil theirs and everyone elses fun.Get a fucking life.
