Some things I’ve seen douche bags doing at gigs include throwing bottles of piss, throwing empty cups and cans into the crowd, talking about utter bullshit during quiet parts of a song, breaking wind that smells revolting and singing along to one part of a song because it happens to sound a bit like a fucking football chant.
After this weekends amazing Foo Fighters gig at the MK bowl, I have the misfortune of adding “kneeling down amongst a standing crowd to have a cheeky piss on the floor” to the list of annoying things I’ve seen utter arse holes do at gigs.
What is the world coming to? Decent music used to be enjoyed by decent people (OK, that’s a vast generalisation with many exceptions) while the common simpleton pond scum frequented nightclubs, pubs and football matches. The crossover now is so great that attending a gig is bound to result in your senses being insulted in many formats, some of which have been outlined above. I don’t wish to sound aloof or superior, but I know I may have failed on that front. I’ll be friends with most people regardless of their upbringing, social status, or other background, none of which is particularly important to me. But I do solemnly swear that from this day forth, such behaviour will not be tolerated by myself at gigs or any other such gathering.
Get as drunk as you like, behave like as much of a fool and have as much fun as you can. But please just show a little respect for the strangers in your vicinity. You never know when one of them is going to punish your vulgar behaviour with a Kung Foo punch to the eye or a karate kick to the testicles.
You have been warned.
The Foo Fighters gig was amazing anyway. In your face, pond scum.
End of Rant.
