Rock/Metal Concerts: When asked to sit down, do you sit or fight back?

[Hardrock69]

I don't give a fuck when people ask me to sit down. Being 6' 7", if I am standing up, they are just going to have to fucking suffer.

I will tell them before the show starts "Sorry, but I am going to be blocking your view. Blame my parents. They passed the tall genes along to me". They are usually ok with it.
If it is reserved seat, I will sit down periodically anyway just to relax.

Being tall, nobody is going to give me any shit, as I am usually taller then them, even when they are standing in the row of seats behind me, which are the next level up.

And, if I am on the floor, I always have an unobstructed view.

Same thing happened to me at a Colin Hay show. Turns out it was Colins hippie wife and she was onstage with him. I guess a lot of people hated it so she doesn't get to go onstage with him any more. The flute part of Down Under was done by her.......she hippie voiced it. Swear to fucking God. So irritating it pretty much ruined it. The times she wasn't doing hippie chanting to the songs she was doing some weird cosmic hippie acid trip dance on stage.

We must have seen the same tour because she did that shit where i was and i couldn't stop laughing. I was on the second row and i was about to fall down i was laughing so hard.

I went to see the Rolling Stones with my mom and dad when i was 19. I think i went with my mom to see Tina Turner when i was 18. They would never have gone to see a hard rock show with me though. I remember the first time she saw my Out of the Cellar tape. She asked, "who are the Ratts?"

Great topic as always, Kirsten.

I once had a Ramones shirt on and my mom asked "what's a Ramone?"

I was at a friends house listening to tunes when his dad comes home and says turn that shit down. My friend says but dad, it's Led Zeppelin. Dad says I don't care if it is Ebb Zeppelin turn that shit down.

This whole topic is substantial proof that metal is GAY.

Here are some talking points:

1. Grown men dancing with other grown men who may be half-naked and sweaty.

2. Grow men seeing other grown (as in middle-aged) men who dress in spandex or half-assed bondage attire


No longer some abstract theoretical construct. Metal is for males who had (and still have) latent homosexual tendencies that are masked at concerts where the fantasy is played out - on stage - for them. One around here only has to look to Von and his homoeroticism towards a bald, aging "rock star" has been (that was a never was) and clearly see the gay in the ghey.

Only if you dance with other grown men and or enjoy checking out them wearing spandex or bondage attire at heavy metal concerts. If you're just there to listen to the music Krusty Freud's diagnosis doesn't fit your symptoms.
