Right down on her head, ohJokes aside, I have to share a video of the first time they played that song live on TV. I'd read that their magic was that they were mixing punk with reggae, and in a way I kind of understood that because of the accents on the upbeats, but that first live version is SOOOO different from the album version, and it's as fucking clear as day how they were switching back and forth from punk to reggae in that song. I wish they'd done that on the album version!

Serious question here to find out if I’m the asshole. I was at a heavy metal show years ago, our seats were actual seats and not in the pit. I wasn’t sitting for hardly any of the show bc I’m up and into the music with everyone else. I got a beer thrown on me bc I wasn’t sitting down and blocking a guys view. At the time I thought it was crazy for getting upset at people getting into a show especially given the genre. Am I in the wrong? Genuinely curious.

u/mod1fier 11d ago
On the one hand, who goes to a metal show to sit down? Just because the venue happens to have seats doesn't mean that they are required to be used unless the venue says so.
On the other hand, if you're the only one choosing to stand in a sea of metal fans who prefer to sit while head banging, and if one of them politely asked you to sit down and you didn't, then you're maybe a little bit of an asshole, but I'm not saying it went down that way. Even then I am no closer to understanding why multiple metal fans would prefer to sit.

Idk personally I think if a venue has seats then the expectation is to be sitting most of the time. I have been to countless rock/metal/hardcore shows and very few have actual seats so it’s never been a problem for me. If I was in a massive arena I’d probably stay seated. Tough decision!

Yeah it was huge stadium for a sold out show on a returning act. I just couldn’t stay seated like I was in the theater watching a play or something more laid back.

At seated venues you should really be seated, they design the whole venue around everyone being seated so that everyone can actually see the show. If you want to rock out they almost always have standing sections you can go hang in, or just go to the pit.
I went to a Volbeat concert a couple years ago and saw someone sitting in the front row of the seated section who was standing up the entire show and everyone behind him was /pissed/. Security kept coming over to yell at him to sit down, his buddy tried to plead with him to sit down and in the end he didn't sit down until several pissed off people were threatening to fight him

You're looking at it the wrong way.
While some people do like to take pictures/video just to try to convince the rest of the world that their life is perfect... The majority of people doing this just want that moment of time captured for THEMSELVES.
I spent the first 20 years of my adult life not wanting to take pictures of things, not wanting pictures of myself. I always thought it was kinda lame, taking me out of the moment, distracting from the experience. Then I lost my little brother in a hit and run.
Now I regret not taking pictures of him when we were at the last concert we went to, not taking video of us enjoying a turkey leg after the show, not recording even a small piece of video showing us having fun for one of the last times I'd ever get to do that with him.
Even after that, I'm now thinking about my 9 year old son not having much for photos or video of his father in his 20's. To be able to see who I was and what I looked like during different periods of my life. An experience that I don't really get to do myself because all of my father's photos were lost in a house fire in the 1980's.

I went on holidays with friends and I didn't take many pictures or videos at all. At the end of the trip, we made a shared album and one friend posted loads of videos and pictures from important events and the like.
At the time I thought it was a bit silly that he was constantly taking pictures and videos (mostly because he'd spend so long on each one) but now, 5 years later, I'm able to show people things from the trip or just flick through them myself.
Now I take a lot more random pictures and videos when I'm with my friends.
They're great to have and I love getting random reminders ("On this day 5 years ago" etc) or just flicking through them when I'm feeling down or bored on a long journey. I live on the other side of the world from many friends so it's good to stay connected if I post random things I did that day, etc.

The phone is bad etiquette if she has been recording a long time but is directly in front of her rather than above or held right out in front so isn't too distracting for everyone behind either.

People getting mad about this clearly don't attend a lot of shows. This has been common for literally ever. If this kind of stuff passes you off, a live concert isn't for you.

Unpopular take probably but this used to bei perfectly normal are concerts. Sometimes I wonder if we are slowly forgetting that other people annoy us with their behavior, but that is part of being around other people. It belongs in crowds just that not all behave exactly so that it is specifically optimal for you.
