A Few Odd Things From St. Louis

Recommended Posts

In Lincoln some assclown threw up repeatedly into a multitude of plastic bags a few rows in front of me.

 

Are you kidding or are you serious? If you are serious, he should have been escorted out. I don't pay a lot of money to go see a band to sit amid the smell of vomit from someone who thought getting drunk at a concert would enhance his experience.

 

LOL. Really? Because I tend to find - particularly at indoor arenas - that avoiding the smell of vomit and/or urine is pretty much impossible.

 

There's always somebody- a lot of somebodys, actually - who's ruining the show for the people immediately adjacent to them. :(

 

One of the worst offenders? :) People who don't know how to STFU during the songs with their loud incessant cheering YEAH GEDDY YOU RULE NEIL ALEX YOU THE MAN AW YEAH....blah blah blah.

 

For the record...it's okay to cheer and scream between songs. It's not okay to cheer and scream over the songs as they're being played.

 

You'd think it was rocket science.

 

Friggin' drunks. :)

 

I think when they started selling alcoholic beverages at concerts it wasn't a good thing.

I absolutely agree, though that's been around for the last few thousand years. :)

The Who played Chicago Wednesday Night. The smoke from the maryjane was affecting Roger Daltrys vocals, so he asked the crowd not to smoke the stuff. Pete Townshend commented that He had hearing problems, deal with it it's a F*cking Rock concert.

Too old to rock and roll...

 

I wasn't sure whether he was serious or not, but if he was, then Roger and Pete should call it a day.

Townshend was fine with it, Daltry wasnt, but then again they just postponed a few shows because he was having throat problems.

Oh I know that. I just remember the days when there were there no concessions at concerts. If you wanted something to drink you had to bring it yourself and drink it outside. There was a lot more pot use in those days.

Well, even in the old days, without booze concessions, the tailgating took care of that problem easily enough.

 

I can safely say I've never attended a concert where some bozo or some madwoman wasn't gonzo wasted at some point and either making a damned fool of themselves or blowing it for their comrades. :)

Roger asked if they would please shove the weed up their asses like he does :)

Ya know what's interesting? 9 times out of 10, in my 35 years of concert going, it's women, not men, who are causing the riff raff. Somebody ought to do a study on that. Seat crashing. Fighting. Puking. Pissing. Passing out. Spoiling, screaming, whatever. I've never quite understood that.

Oh really? I can remember a couple of women over the years that got over rowdy but I've seen many more men that got drunk and obnoxious. Maybe it depends on the type of concert and who the artist is? Or maybe I've just gotten lucky.

Yep. I have no idea why that gender difference exists. Maybe it's SoCal. Maybe it's particular to my tier of preferred artists. I dunno.

 

More often than not, problems arise, obviously, in general admission shows or pits.

 

And yeah, I've had to fight off a fair number of the fairer sex in their drunken concert foolishness. Trying to push their way into me or my gal's spot is a common offense. :)

I don't generally go to general admission shows so that may be part of it, like you said. I would think something like an outdoor show at a fair, bar or something like that would have the higher incidence of drunkenness. I played a lot of years at local bars and tended to see a lot of drunken women dancing, mainly because the men were too chicken to get up and dance with them. :LOL:

GA shows definitely draw the riff raff. They're generally cheaper, which means more booze is gonna flow. :)

 

I myself prefer reserved seating as well. I pay more for the comfort and arena position. I am often glad Rush never does GA pits anymore.

Ugh. I did Riotfest in September in Chicago and spent most of the day trying to keep my friend's girlfroend from getting trampled During Dropkick Murphy's and Social Distortion. The civilized old school punks watching Naked Raygun were too old to move around, just like me :)

We've attended some Billy Idol and Green Day club gigs in the last several years that were def sketchy for my wife to be in the moshing area, and maybe even my old ass as well.

 

Too old for that shit. Heck, I never liked it back when I was young and dumb for that matter. I'll take a front row loge seat any day over a GA floor.

It always seems like it would be fun again, until I realize I'm 47 and not 27 and have had several reconstructive surgeries. Then it's an hour or two of throwing pimply faced twerps clear of my personal space

LOL, exactly. Having to play push n' shove with the kiddies was never that great even when we were kiddies, much less mid 40's. :)

Be thankful the person was a few rows in front of you. If he was next to or behind you, then you would have probably got some splatter on yourself.

First rush show I ever went to, my brother (who was with a friend somewhere else in the venue) got puke on his shirt when the girl behind him unleashed on the back of his seat.

That probably ruined the whole experience for him. People are pretty stupid.

actually my wife is an artist and will take her sketch book everywhere--she has gotten many a look at concerts, or church services or funerals--she is sketching like a demon and tunes out everything else.

 

Hopefully not in church.

Green Day was and maybe still is, considered punk rock. Billy Idol started in Generation X, also punk. Moshing evolved out of slam dancing.

Def not. Full blown, headbangin', drunken idiotic mosh mobs. The Billy Idol ones are small and relatively benign, but he plays smaller clubs and venues. Green Day, though...they usually do an entire GA arena floor, and last time we saw 'em at the Forum, the whole front section - several hundreds of kids - were thrashing away on each other. Security was going nuts escorting dudes out left and right. We were safe above the mob in reserved loge seating at that gig. But the GD club gig we hit a couple years ago was the one I had to pull the wife outta,,,,stage side club patrons were pushing on us and flailing all around us, the wifey got scared, and I booked her outta there to the bar in the back of the club. Bloody noses and ripped clothing and spilled beer everywhere, BJ just going at his thing like it was all passe. Gigs like that, you tend to appreciate the relative order of a Rush show. :)
