Looks like I'll have to invest in a pair of decent earplugs sooner rather than later, if I want to avoid myself ending up as deaf as Ludwig van B.

for fuck's sake, some people really take shit posted on a message board toooo seriously.

yeah, I'm an asshole. come with something new (yes, please, thanks).

do I have to explain that the BANDS are there every fucking night?

if you go to shows every fucking night....wear plugs. fuck, stuff dildos in your ears for all I care.

but if it's a one night thing and you can't hack it....I'm going to call you a pussy.

really though, no worries for you. I wouldn't be hanging out with someone that gets so easily bent.

i like chicks that are easily bent

I'm seeing Yo La Tengo on Thursday and I'm wearing ear plugs.

attn. drunk bitches:

please refrain from spilling your drinks on my arm. that is all.

Seconded.

I just snorted.

true story.





there's way too much talk about earplugs in this thread. I reserve the right to make fun of my friends by any means necessary! :p

hell yes

but....

Don't bring your mom.
Seriously though, how anal are some of these rules?

seriously: anyone who has to wear earplugs to the restaurant is a TOTAL PUSS.

SUPER-SERIOUSLY: anyone of you that would like to pretend that you don't give your friends hell (for your certain pet_peeves) either: don't really HAVE friends or don't have friends really worth having.

take a deep breath, everything will be ok.



musicshowz are serious business.

Exception to the rule, if Chan is 'sober', drink up. It'll make her now mediocre set tolerable.

dont talk all the time during the show. you wont make any freinds.

just curious about this non talking during the show business...arnt the shows to loud anyway for you to be interupted by someone talking?

No matter how loud a show, people will still shout to their friends to make themselves heard. When you're at a concert and want to just enjoy the music, you're likely to stand further back, and that's where the talkers (they're called "Geese" on another forum I post on) always are.

so you just want to have the place for yourself then?

dont push!

and dont dance into me. many a gig has been ruined by people pushing in and insisting on getting to the front. i understand at big places where you have to move but in small pubs/clubs there is no need.

As they say, it was a shot on open goal...

Also, regarding talking/alien anal: you'd be surprised how many people are talking during loud shows... or during the quiet parts of loud shows. I've been annoyed with crowd conversations recently during Dream/Aktion Unit and Burial Chamber Trio (a Sunn O))) spin-off for fuck sake!) and they were definitely loud shows for the most part.

but how can you hear them? arnt you busy rocking out and listening to the tunes or do they really speak that loudly?

Like I said before, they shout to make themselves heard over the music.

there have been shows i have been too where the band/performer have stopped and told people to shut up. it was great when it happened and they got a round of applause.
