Like that guy at the Canada day show with the goalie mask on, complete with Canadian flag drapped across his back. The goalie mask was a bit much. I even took a picture of him.

[cpierson]

Ah, yes, the flag people. They often get every drunken yoyo in the crowd singing O Canada way off-key in the last few minutes before the show begins. I'm still not sure if I find this endearing, in a my-fellow-countrymen way, or really annoying.

Here's my personal amendment to the above:

Your girlfriends breasts don't interest me, so there's no need to hoist her up for an all access expose.

When you put her on your shoulders, the people behind you who've been standing around holding their places for four hours can't see a God Damned Thing!

If your lovely girlfriend and her seven Bud Lights feel the need to expose themselves, let her do it on the ground... hell, go find a "love shack" in the Port-O-Let section for all I care... just stay outta our sight lines!

Thank You.

Amen!

[Andre Cardinal]

I don't know, I don't think I mind seeing women's breasts as much as the rest of you.

this subject definately needed to be addressed--all the above is true-- the ones that get me are the absolute non-fans who seem to show up at shows! arrrrragggggh! who are these people!---case in point -Im at an r.e.m. show at alltell pavillion-(read--outdoor shed)--these 2 good ole boys who could'nt have heard of the band before "what's the frequency kenneth?" are yee hawin and drunk square dancin the minute the song comes on..----I mean i generally love everybody-but-----i have to plan to see a show --i have to get time off work and have money put aside-- these people seemingly had nothing better to do that night...--all non rockin music fans and people needing an excuse to get drunk --pls go to a bar!

Unfortunately the simple fact of the matter is that if only diehards went to concerts, our favourite bands wouldn't do a lot of touring. And asking people to behave at a concert would be as fruitful as asking people to stop getting in car accidents.

The Captain Canada's who think they are more Canadian than everyone else get under my skin.

[Stephen Dame]

I'll admit it, I'm kind of a singer, but not to the extreme point as outlined above. I'll sing along with just about every song, but I won't yell to the point of drowning out the band. There was actually a guy like this behind me at Wasaga. He also felt the need to keep hitting the back of my head with his constantly flailing arm.

Jeez... I hope that wasn't me! I SCREAM along with everything Gord says and does. From the lyrics, to the "bring out yer dead's" to the rants I can recognize... guilty as charged. And I do jump around a lot... but I'm pretty sure I didn't whack you D-man!

[Cpt. Trips]

dont forget the line budders...


they are the worst..

nooch.

[sfissel]

I went to see Hawksley Workman last year, and there was this girl there with long, long hair. She had obviously had a few drinks, judging by the way she was dancing. Specifically, she was sort of flailing her head around in such a way so that if you were standing within a 3foot radius of her, you were getting whapped in the face with her hair.

Then some lady asked her to stop, so she purposely started flinging her hair around like a god damned tetherball.

Most annoying concert experience ever.

[NWOntario]

Oh geez...

-- The Mosher/The Crowd Surfer. One who grew up in the early 90s and was led to believe that moshing and/or crowd surfing is not only cool but is a necessary component to a full and meaningful concert experience; will attempt to start a pit to such songs as "Courage" and will crowdsurf to "Bobcaygeon" without shame or a sense of irony.
-- That Guy. Courtesy PCU, "that guy" wears the shirt of the band he's seeing to the show. I've been that guy on many occasions, so he doesn't necessarily threaten me.
-- The Requestaholic. Bears mentioning in light of the second Mod Club show, where that stupid frickin' girl kept screaming "Fiddler's Green!" all night long--and then, when that failed to produce results, "Fiddler's Green! Gord, I know you can hear me!" (For the record, I've done my share of requesting; I once passed a piece of paper to I Mother Earth with 'Not Quite Sonic' written on it. But I was younger when I did that.) In 2000, I was at a Pearl Jam show on Long Island where a group of fans took it one step further and tried a mini sign campaign (a la "Breath" in 1998); they passed around a bunch of photocopied signs with "Leash" on them. Might have worked if "Leash" weren't the worst Pearl Jam song of all time. By far.
-- The Snob. One who believes that he or she is a better fan than you or me; they cross their arms in front of their chest and sneer when the rest of us are rocking out to older, popular songs, then totally and utterly rock out to new and/or obscure songs as if to say, "Look at me, look at me! I'm such a better fan than you are!" This drives me nuts.

I'm sure I've got more, but those are the worst from my perspective.

Steve...slow day at work...very slow...

[D-man]

Jeez... I hope that wasn't me! I SCREAM along with everything Gord says and does. From the lyrics, to the "bring out yer dead's" to the rants I can recognize... guilty as charged. And I do jump around a lot... but I'm pretty sure I didn't whack you D-man!

Haha no worries man, it wasn't anybody I recognized. And this guy only seemed to know the words to songs like Courage and Blow at High Dough. However, the words he did know were pretty piercing, and nowhere near on key. :thumb:

[Tthip]

I am a pretty laid back person.
I never really wanted to hit anyone in my life.
Let alone a girl.
But damn, at the Mod Club show I wanted to throw her across the room.
"fwiddlerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrs Gweeeeeeeeeeeeeen"
"Gorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrd, I know you can hear me. I am the drunk dumb bitch right here."

[tragicallymike]

that girl sucked. I yelled out get back again during the break once or twice hoping that gord might step up and play a few seconds of it before coming back from commerical but i was doing that for everybody.

[thipfan73]

I've been to plenty of concerts, none hip yet unfortunately, and my personal fave is the guy who got on stage at a show dressed like elvis carrying a blow up doll. You'd say maybe he was part of the show? No, this was a Richard Marx concert and when the lights came up and the guy was there, the lights went down immediately.

There's of course the drunk guy who finds his way on stage, I've seen that a few times! hahaha

The Memorial auditorium Hip boot from a few years ago is ruined because there was a TALKER. You can barely hear Gord singing "Something On". UGH You're there for the MUSIC to SEE THE BAND! ARGH!
