Gig etiquette
Today, I went to see my favorite band. It was all amazing and great until I decided to go crowd surfing. I was maybe too heavy because people jumped away instead of catching me. I fell right on my tailbone. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went to a local concert. The singer from my favorite band stage-dived and I got to catch him. Unfortunately I was the only one to catch him. The next thing I know I'm pinned between him and the concrete floor as he finishes whatever part of the song he was on. He was fine, I hit my head. FML
Today, I was performing for a fairly large crowd with my band. I decided it would look cool to stand on one of the speakers and sing from there. It did look pretty cool for a bit until I tried to step off and fell face-first on the floor mid-song. FML
Today, my band played its first real gig. It was going well, and I, the vocalist, thought it would be a good idea to stage dive. I underestimated the distance between the stage and the crowd and crashed into the floor. FML
Today, my friends and I got front stage tickets to our favorite band. Being my first concert, we planned to start a small mosh pit in the back. I got knocked out by my best friend's elbow and was rushed to the hospital, during the first song. FML
Today, after saving up my money for weeks, I went to see my favorite artist in concert with my friends. Two songs in, I passed out, hit my head, and had to have someone drive me home. FML
Today, my favorite song came on and I started playing air guitar and headbanging to it. I didn't realize just how close I was to the chair next to me and went face first into the metal back. 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, my band was playing its first serious gig. I was in the middle of a solo when a drunk guy tackled me, causing me to crash into the drums, breaking them and my guitar, hitting our drummer, knocking him out. FML
Today, I went to an indoor trampoline park. This would usually be fun, except that I got there, broke my ankle, and left in an ambulance, all before my friends even arrived. FML
Today, while playing a gig with my band, I tried pulling the classic "playing the guitar with one foot on the monitor" rock-star pose. However, I misjudged the height of the monitor, didn't notice the puddle of beer in front of it, slipped, and fell off the stage into the security guy. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Never crowd surf. You leave that to the actual rock stars on stage.

Seriously, people will only try to catch you if you're part of the band.

I've gone to many concerts and the slightly heavy people who try crowd surfing don't end up too far and don't end well.. A few of them did slightly land on me:/.. Think of us small People OP!
theluckyones 10
And by small I mean like I'm barely 5'1!
Maycontainnuts 17
so how do you reach the crowds if you're only 5"1? :/

Maybe too heavy? MAYBE? Well maybe diabetics shouldn't eat a huge slab of chocolate cake. Maybe you shouldn't play with matches in a gasoline refinery. Maybe taunting a bear is a bad idea. Maybe.

Man, you've been brutal recently. Tough week? :P

Way to make diabetics look bad. Please, keep spreading the stereotype. I'm sure they'll love it.

I saw YellowCard in August, and some girls went crowd surfing. The band noticed that some douche bag guys pulled their tops down, and stopped the whole show to yell at them. I forget his name, but the violinist was like, "You guys must not be able to get laid if you're that desperate to see some girl's ****." It was funny(:

Holy shit, Yellow Card's still around?
theluckyones 10
Yup! they were at Warped Tour this year!
andiewithlove 21
Yup(: That's where I was when this happened. They're still as good as ever. Last year I nearly shit myself when Bowling For Soup was at Warped Tour. They even sang the Phineas and Ferb (Spelling?) theme song and people still crowd surfed!
CharresBarkrey 16
I didn't know Bowling For Soup was still around either! What the hell, where have I been?

@23 **** yeah! I hope someone captured that and put it on YouTube.

117 - Don't feel bad, neither did I until I saw them listed in the line up. I got all their autographs and a picture with the singer:D 124 - I hope so too! I was one of the dumbasses who forget to charge their phone the night before. -_____-

I don't care how heavy someone is, I'm moving out the way.

As a concert goer, it always annoyed me to have to be on the look out for feet coming at my head, but i understand the entertainment of it! Sorry you fell though OP, I've always been afraid I would be dropped if I ever crowd surfed!

I'm not going to lie if I was one of the people trying to catch you I would have done the same thing

If you weigh more than 180lbs or look like you do then just don't.
