5 people you meet at a metal show

[BrettT]

This is pretty much spot on:

[Skinny Viking]

Nice

and true

 

[MarkG]

Should be 6 types. There's also the chicks (and occasional guy) who will crowdsurf to get fondled by dozens of people. Funny to see the guys swarm around the girls hoping they'll want to get a lift up.

 

[TheDriller]

No mention of the pudgy neck-beard wearing an Amon Amarth shirt? Huh.

 

[Scott Horner]

So true.

 

[DanLights]

The "Out of My Way, I’m Getting to the Front" Guy is the one I hate the most, I've have mean encounters with a few of these creatures over the years

 

[ahjteam]

Where is the "audiophile rock police who stands in front of the mixer with his hands crossed and thinking the whole show sucks and shouts idiotic comments to the audio engineer the whole 6 band show"

 

[grywolf627]

So...are you (aimed at everyone) one of these? I'm definitely the first one.

 

[Chryst Krispies]

Where's the drunk guy that won't shut up that yells at the sound engineer?
Where's the nerdy kids judging every minute detail?
Where's the guy in the front that is in front of the speakers and complains he can't hear shit?

Haha yes it always leaves me puzzled.. why the fuck would a (hot) girl crowdsurf with her boobs facing downwards? How does she not realize 95% of the audience will grab and massage her boobs? Or if she does, why is she that stupid? It's not like she couldn't get someone to fuck the shit out of her in the toilet :Smug:

I missed the "I'm just here to look good" scene retards in the list. Standing around and just looking good after 24 hours of styling marathons, hoping that nobody touches their precious hair. Did I mention they're 75% of the audience?

And then there's always the fucktard who starts smoking. In a small, very very crowded club (smoking is of course banned). And that guy - most times it's 3 or 4 plus one chick - is ALWAYS standing right me behind me. godfuckingdamnit. I'm glad I don't own a gun during these moments.

I'll definitely be type 1 someday..

How about the small kids that jump in the mosh pit while the big guys are taking a break. Trying to feed their ego's that they can be big tough testosterone alpha males, only once the actual alpha males have gone to rest. This may be more prevalent at hardcore shows than a metal show.

 

[Arsenu,]

one thing i like about the israeli scene: there's no "I’m Here to Get In a Fight" guy.
if you fall down, people will do their best to help you up, and no-one REALLY fights
(besides mosh-pitting like crazy)

 

[Mago]

I'm the "don't touch my GF or you'll loose your hand" guy.
not only on metal concerts tho
and I mean TOUCH, not accidentally bump into because a moshpit spawned right next to us, I coud live with that.

when Im not that (GF at home because she doesnt like the band) then I'm mostly in front of the stage with earplugs next to the circlepit ->
sound shitty anyway, so I won't turn into the audiophile guy who complains about the sound and far enough to the front the get into the pit if I want to.
The 2nd has been some time tho...some festival 2009. strangely I dont like moshpits in halls or mid sized venues that much *shrug*

 

[J the TyranT]

The trying-too-fucking-hard guy has to be there too... with all his accessories and hairdo and shit like that.

 

[guitarguru777]

No mention of the pudgy neck-beard wearing an Amon Amarth shirt? Huh.

When the fuck did you see me at a concert??

 

[guitarguru777]

So...are you (aimed at everyone) one of these? I'm definitely the first one.

Totally me as well brutha!

 

[Steven Otto]

So...are you (aimed at everyone) one of these? I'm definitely the first one.

Yep.

I'm the "The Girlfriend Who Has No Idea What She’s Gotten Herself Into".

When I go to bands at local venues, I'll usually stand with some friends halfway, just behind the pit. When I go to a gig of a band I'm fan off I'll try to stand as close as possible to the front. Usually annoyed by type #3.

 

[AD Chaos]

Off the top of my head

The couple of ugly facks sucking each other in front of you (as if you paid to see THEM)
The girl with a boyfriend at her side looking around everywhere all the time to see who's checking her out
The 'divas' pretending they don't give a shit
The one who blabbers mimiced lyrics
The one throwing his/her sweaty greasy hair to your face (follows you around)
The possesed maniac
Envious (bold?) guy/girl pulling your hair REALLY hard from behind you
The ones that broke in and got for free (and brag about it)
Mucho-macho-metal ''woman''
400-pound Goth girl
Metal encyclopÆdia wannabe
The dude behind who confuses you for a hot girl

 

[harmonic_minor_shred]

Yeah, you could come up with so many more.

Kinda similar to this, although this is more poking fun at different types of scene kids, but it's very funny because it's actually about real people the guy saw at the show:
