ozzfest 2007 Free?

[GummyBearOfDoom]

Anyways unless i'm insane Ozzfest is totally free this year. Ozzfest usually sucks big balls but 2-3 good bands show up each year. I went like 2 years ago for Slayer, Sabbath and most of all for judas priest. And if it is free ill go anyway. Why not?

[FaultyClockwork]

Yeah, it's free but the line up is generally so bad it's not worth being crushed in between scene fags under the blazing summer sun. I'd go if they had some like SYL or The Red Chord.

When I went I didnt give two shits about second stage. I went because im a big Priest fan. So if they have a band that is actually worth going to see? Why not, it is free.

I've seen Lamb of God, Avenged Sevenfold, Weird Al, and Velvet Revolver w/ special guest Brian Johnson of AC/DC.

Go see better concerts. I hate most of the younger band concerts because exactly like what FC says, a bunch of fake fags go up and star spinning in circles thinking they are awesome.

[Nega-Brent]

Go see better concerts.

Weird Al and Velvet Revolver w/Brian Johnson were really good.

I just don't like concerts in general because I can't enjoy them without being squished into a small area filled with smelly drunk people.

[Tanni Foemangler]

i saw Lamb of God by accident one time. it was horrible

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Same. That sounds painful.

I was discussing concerts with some people and apparently you get more assholes at shows with larger bands. Someone described being rammed forward at an Opeth concert as loads of inconsiderate teenagers try to get up front but people are more polite at concerts for more underground acts, though depending on band/artist popularity you still may get stuck amidt masses of people. Apparently the best way to get to the front of crowds in concerts is to carry a cup of beer.

I got fucking smashed around at the Blind Guardian concert. The whole room was just ramming side to side. No holds barred.

two cups. that way people think you were up there before but left to grab your pal a beer

but the best way to keep people off you at a show is to be THAT GUY who's way more into the show than everybody else. seriously, next show look for that guy near the front who is windmill headbanging and playing air guitar and check out the two feet of distance people give him. it works best if your sleeves are cut off and you're blatantly drunk

So you have to decide between a mediocre spot or looking like an idiotic asshole?

[Tanni Foemangler]

wanting to actually rock out and not be some cunt who just stands with his hands in his pockets makes you an asshole?

shows where the audience just stands around not doing anything are a waste of money

[Tanni Foemangler]

it's so much fun. once you get over the initial "ho noes peoples will think i look stupid", there's no going back

and you know the bands playing get off on seeing their fans go nuts

[Nega-Brent]

What's with the big "Don't wear the shirt of a band you're going to see" phobia?

[Tanni Foemangler]

i always thought it was a joke. just something to laugh at your friends for

half the people at shows wear shirts of the band playing anyways

**wait, here we go

The band T-shirt -- a staple of youth culture since the late '60s.

So many bands to see, so many different styles. But, there are so many rules to follow when wearing these shirts to prevent total embarrassment.

Why do we have these inane rules? Because we don't want to appear like a totally obsessed fan, or look like the one guy at Music Midtown wearing a Styx T-shirt and sporting a less-than-perfect red neck mullet.

People may call me a rock elitist because I try to follow the rules so closely. That may be true, I am too self-conscious at times.

The first rule: Never wear the T-shirt of a band which happens to be the same one you are going to see.

Again, picture that same mullet-man at Music Midtown and his Jerry Cantrell shirt yelling "Rock!" and giving a somewhat poor devil/rock 'n' roll hand gesture while holding a 40-ounce can of Milwaukee's Best.

As said in the film, "PCU," you don't want to be "that guy."

[FaultyClockwork]

If I go to see Emperor an Emperor shirt will be in order though.

And I think it's awesome to get into the concert but I think there's a point where it's silly, not trying to be insulting.

When I saw The Fiery Furnaces/Deerhoof/Fog I actually stood there with my hand in my hoody pockets because people scare me shitless. @_@ I'd really like to be the kind of person who could hop up and down and flash the horns but I'm too introverted.

[Tanni Foemangler]

at the metal shows you just gotta face the fear and go for it. throw the horns, pump your fist, scream during solos, throw your panties on stage...

on your way home you want to say "that was fucking awesome" instead of "they sure played good"

[FaultyClockwork]

I was thinking of saying "Golly jee! They sure put in a rather impressive show!"

I think I'll throw my panties on stage. I really, really, really wanna see Unleashed/Belphegor and Emperor. Throwing panties at Ihsahn would be awesome.

Funny thing. I don't actually ever try to be that guy.
