Today, I finally got to attend the concert I have been anticipating for weeks. The band was great. The drunk guy sitting behind me yelling profanity and out of tune lyrics in my ear throughout the entire show, however, was not. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went to a concert. The music was great, but the drunk guys behind me made it hard to pay attention. Half way through the second act, one of them took it upon themselves to start peeing on me. FML
Today, I went to a concert. One of my favorite bands was performing, and I'd had the ticket for seven months, with a great seat for the show. It was all going perfectly, that is until a guy twice my height sat in front of me. FML
Today, I went to see my favorite band in concert. Not only did the people next to me have a loud conversation through the entire set, the guy behind me repeatedly tried to lecture me for head-butting him. Given he was a foot taller than me, I'm not even sure how that was possible. FML
Today, it was the concert of my life. I had bought tickets the minute they went on sale, and I'd anxiously waited until the concert date. Thirty minutes before the show, my friend got so drunk that we weren't allowed in, and I was stuck babysitting her all night in the hotel, completely missing the show. FML
Today, I was at a concert and I was having so much fun. Unfortunately, this was cut short when the person behind me with the worst halitosis started singing along to the songs. He knew ALL the lyrics. FML
Today, I went to a great concert. Against all odds, I got to meet the band. All I had for them to autograph was a flyer protesting their concert that was given to me on the way in. FML
Today, ever supportive of my friends, I went to a concert and tried to really get into the music. I was jumping and dancing, only to realize I was at the wrong concert. My friend's band was playing next door. I spent half an hour dancing with strangers to music I didn't even really like. FML
Today, I went to a concert for the first time in 5 years. I got all dressed up and even ended up hanging out with the band. The night came to a screeching halt when I got a migraine and ended up in the ER vomiting non-stop. I was in the hospital all night. FML
Today, I went to see one of my favorite bands. When they started playing my favorite song I whipped out my video camera and sang along. As I was reviewing the video later, I realized that I couldn't even hear the band over my horrible singing. FML
Today, I walked into a concert that I've been waiting months for. Immediately after passing through the doors, I was accused of sneaking in and thrown out. They wouldn't even look at my ticket, or the hand stamp they'd given me. FML

That's the worst! All you can really do is throw a beer at him when he isn't looking. Then he'll throw a fit and security will toss him on his ass! :D

If you're in the chairs and not the floor area you cannot go to another area. You paid for the seat and cannot take someone else's or if you're in the isle the security ask you to go back to your seat, sometimes they check your ticket and guide you there.

If it wasn't a lawn or GA admission concert, OP was probably stuck in that seat.

This happens to me a lot, and we usually just move if the concert's not sold out. The trick is, you have to wait a few songs and scope out any empty seats. If nobody's been there the whole time, they're empty. If they aren't and you get asked to move, just play dumb: "Sorry! It's so dark in here. I thought this was section ___". Works every time.

If you can't beat, Beat 'em....In the face....With a chair....

How can you not expect people to get drunk at a gig? deal with it OP.
doodlecloud 27
People drink but they don't need to be hammered. If it was expected that you wouldn't be able to properly hear the band whenever you went to a gig then people wouldn't go.
wallandpiece 16
The band should play louder then. If you can't hear a band over one guy's voice then the band need to reconsider their music careers.
doodlecloud 27
Obviously you can still hear the band but the drunken idiots yelling can be heard as well so it spoils it. Particularly in OP's case as it sounds like they were sitting so were probably further from the stage. If you can't understand why that would be annoying then I'm guessing, when it comes to gigs, you're the drunken idiot not the irritated fan?

I'm not a drunken idiot, but I don't get irritated when other people are drunk. I just know that it's a fact of life that people get drunk at gigs. It wouldn't bother me if someone else is shouting because they're only enjoying themselves.

56, there's a difference between drunkenly shouting to yourself and drunkenly shouting in someone's ear. The latter is seriously annoying, not to mention a violation of personal space, and the OP has every right to be irritated about it.

You should've taped it and uploaded it on YouTube.
fuzz97 23
There is no reason at all why OP should have done that

At some venues you can get into serious trouble for recording.

Just a sec! 3 is on to something! ...yeah not sure. Maybe fan awareness?

Offer to buy him a beer. When he moves, someone else will take his spot. Problem solved.
MormonPornstar 7
And then he comes back, sees somebody in the seat that he payed for, and starts throwing a drunken bitch-fit, screaming and cursing and so on. Yeah.. problem solved.
TrailblazerSS 5
And security tosses his ass out. Problem still solved.

It's always odd how people get so drunk when more of their beer usually lands on those around them. At least that was the case at the last concert I went to.

Was this guy the lead singer of Nickelback by chance?
Enslaved 38
Damn! Are there any Musicians from Canada that people actual don't seem to dislike? What gives? NickelBack, Justin Bieber, Celine Dion to name a few. Rush is the only band I can think of that escaped the hatred!

Protest the Hero!

18 - Subject to different musical tastes but: Alexisonfire, Arcade Fire, Barenaked Ladies, City and Colour, Crystal Castles and I guess, Billy Talent and Sum 41 for teen nostalgia?
taywidd123 6
18- Marianas Trench, Hedley, Simple Plan, and Carly Rae Jepsen, to name a few for the teens.

#18, Rush Limbaugh sucks!! And he's not even a band, megadittoes!
doodlecloud 27
39 - Carley Rae Jepson? Even for teens...that's bad...and she has definitely been 'disliked' by the internet, even if they did find her only laughable at first.
zombiefacee 1
I sincerely hope you are trolling. Or that you live under a rock. Rush is a band, and a very good one at that.
KiddNYC1O 22
People dislike Celine Dion?
perdix 31
#62, do you think I'm some sort of fly-by-night Tom Sawyer causing trouble in the forest? I used to have a website and I think Geddy Lee wrote to me! So, there.

Somebody should've passed that drunk a joint to mellow him out some.

And have him whitey and cause more of a scene?! Now, a Jeffrey on the other hand...!

these things are common at concerts, you shouldn't let that spoil your fun.
