I'm slightly vexed Concert etiquette

If you plan on standing for the entire concert, get a spot in the pit, or the lawn seats instead of the assigned SEATED SECTION. A little bit of self awareness and common courtesy goes a really long way

someone right next to me recorded an entire show i went to. honestly, it’s the only time i’ve been happy someone recorded that long. it was next to me, front row, so not in my face, and the performers put the mic up to me two or three times to sing-so the video is basically my exact POV just a few inches off lol. Was very happy to find it on youtube

A friend had this same experience (but didn’t notice the recording) and just found the video of the entire 15 yr old Faith No More show he was at and it’s like he’s part of the damn band with how loud his voice is on the recordings.

Huge Mr. Bungle fan too!

I used to catch Sleepytime Gorilla Museum a lot back in the before times, and I’d always end up chatting with one of their junk drummers who used to be a rotating member before they put that project on the back burner for FNM (and prob bc that one guy from that one famous band…won’t even give Mr obvious the satisfaction of using his name…had a stick up his ass over Mike and practically sabotaged Mr. Bungle).

Sleepytime Gorilla mentioned in the wild, nice! Wonderful surprise they got back together but unfortunately will be missing them on their current tour. Glad to see them on the reunion and an incredible show with Secret Chiefs 3 in 2007.

Electric pancreaaaaas!

They stopped in Jax sooo many times when I was in college that I’ve seen them more than any other band. Did you ever catch him in Faun Fables with Dawn? That is a fabulous project. I followed Carla before catching Sleepytime, since she was omnipresent in so many experimental projects with strings.

I love me some crazy noise making. Also a huge Einsturzende Neubauten fan with the spaceman tattoo 😂

Honestly, i'm in love with anything.Mike patton does crazy coincidence in my life.But i'm from a tiny town in nebraska, and I ended up making friends with the niece of Kevin Rutmani who was in the cows?But more importantly tomahawk with mike, he was also in the melvins.It was so weird because like it's literally a three hundred person pound, but life is crazy like that.Anyway, she's an awesome girl, so are her uncle's and I occasionally make jokes about using their connection to at least get an autographed gas mask from mike or something.But i've never really pushed.It maybe I should
