Do the people around you influence your concert experience?

That's how it should be. The bands don't want to look out and see rows of "statues".:dozey:

 

Well, at the show I was at, the GA was going crazy. It was just the few party poopers around me.

 

also it's pure logic that the concert is better , 'cause if all the people are jumping for insance , the band that is performing will play better I guess ..

If the band sees no-one does any effort , they probably don't try as hard..

 

Yeah.

 

Not always - although at the concerts in question, the people didn't even know the words to the vast majority of the songs anyway, as they weren't real fans.:dozey:

 

You don't need to be a hardcore fan to go to a concert, as long as you like and support the band there's nothing wrong with being there.

 

Although I don't get why people go to a concert when they aren't even fans of the band at all. :|

 

If I Go to a concert which is a rarity

I Get all excited and learn all the lyrics through listening so many times before the concert

 

Haha me too. :wacky:

 

I was just a bit of a Muse fan in April when I bought the tickets, and now I've worked my way up to Obsessive Fan. :awesome:

Not really. When I go to a concert, I will stand and am mostly quiet except for applause. It would be boring if it was a concert full of people like me. I really try to take in the entire experience and give an accurate account of what I've seen. Therefore, I count on other people to act like freaks and give the band the energy they deserve.

i guess not so the people "around me" cos in a moshpit that is always changing. but a good co-operative crowd always leads to a great show. i think i wouldve enjoyed pearl jam a lot more if the crowd was a little more lively on the other hand mumford & sons (a band im not a huge fan of) was incredible because everyone was so into it!

There was a fantastic atmosphere at the Mumford concert I was at too.:cool:

It influences my conert experience, yes, but it doesn't make it or break it.

 

 

It bothers me when the whole crowd isn't jumping.... or even cheering when the song is over.

 

For example, the idiots at my Hershey Coldplay show.

 

They never cheered. They never sang. It was like they all were dragged there.

 

 

Chris had to practically BEG them to make some noise. It was awful. I felt horrible.

 

 

But it doesn't make or break the experience. I still had a great time. The others seemed like they didn't. :P!

Yeah, I guess. I had an amazing time at The Mint Chicks' show, because I was at the front and I was getting pushed around and shit. It was pretty brutal but extremely fun at the same time :P

waking up the next morning a few bumps and bruises makes it all the more enjoyable! if i dont walk out of a show drenched in sweat and legs sore as hell i dont feel quite satisfied. thats why i loved seeing Rise Against.

What a load of zombies! They should have been ashamed of themselves.:angry:

I think that was one of the problems brought about by the commercial success of "Viva La Vida", though.

It attracted a lot of "spur-of-the-moment" fans who weren't really interested in any of Coldplay's other material.

Great for the band in financial terms, of course, but it all came at a bit of a cost.

As I said, I definitely had a few of these spontaneous fans sitting either side of me at the O2. One guy said he had a copy of "Viva" but had never listened to it, and his friend didn't even know who Will was.

On the other side of me was a guy who had clearly bought the tickets to impress his girlfriend. They even walked out to get some drinks in the middle of one of the songs.

I thought this was a bit rude.

No wonder the band weren't "feeling it" that night................................... :dozey:

Even a coldplay hater like me was jumping around and singing at the top of my lungs :P

From start to finish?

What about your reputation?:rolleyes:

I usually sing along and move my head around, but often feel to weird dancing/jumping around.

 

I'd rather do it if other people are.

 

Just ask briggins about Rich Aucoin for me live ...haha :lol:

haha, with Rich you would look like an idiot and party pooper if you weren't dancing or jumping around!

"Nobody knew who I was in Texas."
