It seems to me that there are certain things that are ubiquitous at live music events where the artists transcend more than one genre or subculture or have a fairly wide appeal. Most gigs I have been to will have 2 or more of the following:

1) Some rude jerkoff who thinks that they can elbow their way in front of you even though you queued up early

you forgot:

7) The rude bastards who don't care that yoir legs can't be squashed any further and try to squeeze past you anyway
8) The fuckeheads who think that throwing an empty bottle across the crowd is ok by the person who's head it hits
9) The guy who has so much money he can afford to buy Lemon Ruski's to pour off the stairway onto the people standing below

Still glad I went though :)

i must say that's a darn sight better than manson's antichrist tour in 96. He overarmed a full water bottle into the audience, and it clocked me right in the face, being one of the taller people in the front. It was aimed at someone in front of me who sprayed him with water. Manson is one strong mofo. I had a blackeye for [what seemed like] forever.

Oh dear! Then again people who pay money to see Manson are already being punished :)

My favorite (srsly) gig memory was being spat on by Iggy Pop at the Astor in the early 80's :)

Any band that cashes in on appealing to 'disaffected youth with feelings of rejection' or whatever should not be surprised when said disaffected youth turn up and their gigs and show why they have been rejected by everyone else.

hur hur

Kind of sucks for th other people who go but I don't think the band are in any position to complain as they have been cashing in on those kinds of people for years.

I still cannot believe he didn't play Closer.

i'll be adding pics to my DA sometime soon (sefenite.deviantart.com) if you want to squizzy. i THINK I have some audience shots so, if you were at the front on the right hand side you may be in some.

heh yea... it was a bummer alright. I'll check out the shots, cheers :)

[ladymeerkat]

You're always so funny when you're ranty :)

[irreve_rant]

hehe you wait til you go to a gig in Germany! If some squarehead doesn't pick you up and throw you out of the way, a boot in the face will :)

[__lobotomy__]

Nah, I'd just make jokes about ze toilet and they'll hoist me on their shoulders instead :P

NOT LONG NOW! :D:D:D

[irreve_rant]

I'd like to see that!!!

Indeed not long - the only other thing I've found out is that Grendel and Inertia are playing on the Sunday night after Xymox. But I don't really think they're you're thing?
We'll see!!
