Concert Criminals

Don't Become One of Them

Desdemona Moonlight
You'd think that seeing your favorite artist live would be a dream, and for the most part it is, except for the concert criminals, who come on in, and mess everything up. They're easy to spot. Are you one of them?

1.) Screamer guy-This perp for the most part is pretty harmless. Occasionally they'll yell out a song request, and the band will say, "Well, okay we'll play it." But that's pretty rare. These guys don't like to be ignored. They will continue to yell, getting more aggressive with time, until someone finally tells them to shut the hell up. If you're really lucky, security will show them the door. Please, people, don't yell things out. The band is going to play what they've already practiced. If you're lucky enough to run into the band before the show, that is the time to say, "It would be really cool if you guys could play this song..." What's the worst that could happen? And please don't scream that so and so in the band is hot. They're musicians. They know that they're hot. That's why they're on stage, and you're not.

2.) Leg humper guy/girl-These people are the worst. You find a good spot to stand in, and everything is going well and then all of a sudden some idiot comes up behind you and starts to shove you to the front. Not cool. You put up with it for a while, but you have to admit, it's pretty distracting. People, please just find a spot and stay there. As far as I'm concerned, and I would think most people would agree with me, you snooze you loose. If you want a good spot, come early. Don't push someone else out their hard earned spot, it's just common courtesy.

3.) Motor-mouth guy/girl-These people baffle me. They show up to the concert, talk all through-out the opening act, and as the main attraction is heading out onto stage and everyone is quiet, these morons are still talking. They talk all through-out the concert! Why did you even buy a ticket to the show? Please, if you absolutely must communicate with someone, put your phone on vibrate, and text back and forth with them. Please be respectful of others.

4.) Drunk guy/girl. Ugh, I don't know why they serve alcohol at shows, but unfortunately they do and it always turns into a problem. For most people, alcohol makes them stupid, therefore they will do stupid things. Much like the groupies, the drunk guy/girl will also encompass many of the former concert personalities. Yet these are by far the worst. These people tend to get violent. People please, if they're serving alcohol at a shows, know you're limits, and keep it light.

    People act like they've never been to a concert before. They just be quiet and enjoy the show. Thanks for the comment!

    I have a very funny story about criminal #3. Two girls were standing next to me in the front row of a BoDeans concert. The set list that was posted on the side of a speaker was visible from our vantage point. After EVERY SINGLE SONG started, one of the two girls would look up at the set list, read the title of the next song off, and proceed to say, "Oh, I LOVE that song!" Then they would talk all through the song they professed to love -- about the song that was next on the list!!
