Haven't had terrible concert experiences, just a couple where mildly annoying things happened.
When I saw Xavier Wulf I was in the pit and someone snatched my watch when I wasn't paying attention. I was a little annoyed, but it was a 15$ Casio watch, so I got over it quickly. When I saw Chief Keef he got to the venue way too late, almost 2 hours after the last opener performed. but I was just glad he bothered to show up at all. When I saw Black Kray I smoked some shitty weed and had a bad headache and could barely enjoy the show. Still had fun though. Nothing really notable. I think I just have low standards.

What was Xavier Wulf like? Did he have his tracks playing in the back the whole time or did he actually preform?

>be me
>iiipoints music festival
>Ghost face and MF Doom gunna perform
>sweeeeet
>doom was on a TV live from the UK, Ghost face just sang 5 Wutang songs
>Run the Jewels came on after and fixed everything.

Wu Tang clan was my child hood. That ghost face concert was disappointing. But holy fuck was Run the Jewels good.

This was my second time seeing Wulf (and Eddy Baker) and they both perform their songs. actually have a shitty video I threw together if you want an example youtube.com/watch?v=2ik7R2lqnk0

>13 yrs old
>go to tiny, crappy music festival in my home town
>"double date" with my gf and 2 friends
>front row for some terrible Canadian radio pop acts (Danny Fernandez, Karl Wolf, the list goes on...)
>have to leave the crowd to call my mom at one point
>come back and shuffle my way back to my friends
>suddenly people are shouting expletives at me
>"Move, asshole!"
>"Go fuck yourself, buddy!"
>turns out 3 little girls no older than 6 had taken my spot, didn't even notice
>dozens of drunk adults are yelling at 13 year old me to fuck off for taking their spot
>have to stand there and look hard in front of my gf
>she just looks at me and tells me move back
>I do
>little girls retake my spot
>chads and stacys still telling me to fuck off
>spend the next hour alone listening to music I don't even like
>my friends don't even so much as look back at me
>go home alone
>this was our only date
>never kissed her
>never kissed anyone
>still virgin
>shit concert

>with gf
>see weezer
>best night of my life
>dumps me a month later
>can't listen to weezer anymore

similar thing to this, but she wasnt my gf and never showed up but she keep the 300 dollars ticket i paid her and went with her friends

>have a gf that never kissed or fucked

I feel you user, 2 gfs and still a virgin, i still cry at night when i remember im never fucking those girls when i was so close to it

>finally book my first show
>pay $50 to play at a shitty venue in Phoenix
>there's about 50 people in the audience
>go onstage
>begin first song
>forget lyrics halfway through
>move onto next song
>people don't like it, start leaving
>halfway through my set, basically nobody's there.
>there's like 10 people left
>somebody throws a half-eaten apple at me
>hits me right in the eye
>everybody laughs
>get nervous
>go home
>three days later, eye is red and swollen wish some kind of white discharge.

And that's how I found out I'm a talentless hack and never performed live again.

>can't listen to weezer anymore
well it's a good thing you didn't lose anything of value

saw this coming a mile away

>be me, 17
>go to Reading Festival in the UK (pretty popular and notorious event)
>only really went to see metallica, Catfish & the Bottlemen, Royal Blood and a couple of others
>camping with stoner metalhead friends
>smoke a fair amount of weed and drink a lot on the first night
>wake up at like 10am the next day to find my wallet completely empty
>same with my friend who I'm sharing the tent with

That was pretty shitty, but I should have known better really
It doesn't end there though:
>stoner friends run out of weed on the 3rd day
>massive comedown, depressed as fuck bcuz I'm a no life, no gf STEM sperg
>Spend all of Catfish & the Bottlemen's set contemplating suicide

I remember I couldn't move my neck for 2 days after an Iron Maiden concert
being 16 was nice
damn...

not really a story but why the fuck is there one fucking guy who will not shut the fuck up at every concert I go to

>Me, a few months ago
>Kodak Black coming to venue where several people have been murdered on seperate occasions
>Get there
>DJ playing Young Thug for ~10 minutes
>Random local group comes on stage
>This is alright
>Kodak should be on soon
>3 more random ass groups come on
>Crowd gradually gets less and less hype
>Where the fuck is Kodak?
>ANOTHER FUCKING RANDOM ASS GUY COMES ON STAGE
>Gets boo'd off
>Kodak should have been here an hour ago
>Concert is done in an hour
>Crowd is furious
>DJ plays Faneto by Chief Keef
>Crowd gets hype again
>"Kodak is back stage"
>Crowd going absolutely fucking apeshit
>"But y'all gotta listen to my nigga rap before he come on"
>Everyone is screaming and booing in rage
>Another faggot raps for 10 more minutes
>Everyone is booing
>Still won't get off the fucking stage
>20 fucking niggers suddenly climb up
>DJ asking somebody, anybody, to get security
>They jack the mics
>DJ packs his shit and leaves
>Nobody controlling the audio, so the speakers are emmiting ear-piercing noise
>Literally can't understand anything being said
>Niggers throw their mixtapes to the audience
>Audience throws them back
>I'm beyond pissed, paid 30 dollars for this show
>Kodak never showed up
>Owner of the venue even says he isn't coming, and is now escorting people out as the show's over
>As I'm leaving the parking lot, I hear the sound of a car hitting someone
>2 groups of niggers get out of 2 different cars
>Start screaming at each other
>Someone's going to die
>Drive away as fast as I fucking can

My hearing didn't fully recover for 3 more days. I got lost multiple times on the way home because the ear-raping sounds of the concert made me temporarilly retarded. I still don't think I'll ever be the same again.

why didn't you fucking hit the person who threw an apple at you?

>alcohol and hash comedown with the lads
>money gone
>depressed
>have to put up with the show

fucking goddamn i know this feel, and it sucks

:/
I don't know. I panicked and left without really thinking. The manager asked me to stay if they escorted the guy out but I wasn't really listening.

13 years old " Karl Wolf Concert Date with " GF " ". fuck off twat.

Are you 13 tho ?.

Gets dumped one month later, can't listen to that artist anymore. Fuck, I got dumped 5 months after going to a Paul McCartney concert, can't listen to anything he's done in solo or with the beatles. Are you even serious ?

Why so mad?

Tori Amos - Plugged Tour. - Because of the Venue mostly ( "The Joint" in the Hard Rock Hotel Las Vegas.- Some drunk guy who obviously wasn't a fan called and talked to his daughter and pretty much yelled into his phone during most of the performance. - was the 2nd of 3 Tori tours that I attended Other 2 were very solid and enjoyable. Tori does great live performances.

I saw Tyler The Creator once and it sucked ass

I got my head trampled at a Mastodon gig

I don't blame anyone, it was purely an accident. The pit got out of hand and a group of people got knocked about in the human tidal wave. The person in front of me fell backwards onto me, knocking me down in turn, and we both got trampled pretty badly. Never found my glasses and my jaw and two fingers got broken. Not sure what happened to the other person.

Stayed til the end of the show though because Mastodon fucking rules

>be me, 14
>went to go see U2

>buy ticket for Dum Dum Girls
>come down with insane sinus infection a few days before the show
>be insanely stuffed up, like can't smell or hear shit because my sinuses are so clogged
>go to show anyway
>secure a spot up front
>put in earplugs, because sinus infection or not, my ears are already fucked up from loud shows
>Dum Dum Girls play
>can't hear the fucking vocals
>have to take a shit
>push through crowd go take shit
>finish taking shit, and return to the show
>end up about 2/3rds back and can still barely hear
>at least i can hear the fucking lyrics now

one of the members of Alvvays hit me with a hotdog when they decided to throw it at the audience

was it fun?

>run back to car and realized I got a ticket
>thisisajoke.tiff

I saw him again at another venue this time with no alcohol allowed. Crowd was decent, set was fine, Mac even played a Math-Rock jam midway through his set.

Still not a fan

Worst concert experience itt
poor guy

>be me
>anco show with bud
>wait 3 hours in line, get in the front
>hyped
>opener starts, grouper-like synth ambient
>actually enjoying the opener act, really digging it
>group of 3 loud obnoxious obvious college girls and guys SHOVE their way towards the already crowded front, forcefully shoving me and my friend out of our places
>3 people are drunk and fucking loud
>i ask them to please let me go back in my spot, the dude looks at me and says with a grin "its general admission dude. how about you go over there."
>pissed, annoyed
>one of the girls actually lets me get back in the place i was in
>back in my place, but the 3 of them are extremely loud and talking in my fucking ear to where i cant hear the act
>opener act over
>accidentally slips back and bumps the drunk guy behind me who apparently is on the phone
>looks me in the face and says "hey can you fucking chill"
>has the nerve to say that after he forcefully shoved me out of my spot and was being the loudest man on earth
>verbal fight between us starts
>people around me start yelling at the 3 college kids
>my pal breaks up the argument
>girls in the group try to make amends but i ignore them because fuck them
>hears the guy talk shit about me right behind me until anco starts
>when anco starts they drift away behind me, but ended up annoying my friend the entire time

the show itself wasnt a complete disaster but honestly fuck drunk college kids

> be me age 24
> went to go see U2
>It was the ZOOTV Tour
> Best Live performance I have ever witnessed

>gf gets tickets to see the Shins when they were touring for their fourth album
>get to the venue later than we wanted, line wrapped around 5 blocks, unclear which end of line is which
>accidentally stand in the front of the line
>hear these fucking out-of-towners whisper-singjng a song about us cutting them in line

Man it was so fucking gay. Nothing worse than the passive baby-people who are trying to gentrify parts of downtown Detroit. The venue had about ten doors and was totally open on the inside so it wasn't like being there for hours meant anything. Stood in front of the stage, no problem. Watched this stout security guy literally roll a person like a barrel down the side of the pit. Decent show. People behind us made fun of The Antlers when they opened. Teen girls in front of us literally looked at their phones the entire time, which was weird.

The only concert I've ever walked out of was a Marduk show. Jesus Christ they sucked live, it was awful enough that I did the Jerry Seinfeld esque hands up in air then walk out of the theater.

>June 30, 2000
>Summer Sanitarium Tour

I'm didn't fill that out truthfully on my application for the sole reason of not wanting an autist like this.

saw DEVO at a festival

first too songs
>wooo omg devo cool guys
2 more songs
>eh alright they are pretty tight , i hope its a short set
6 more songs of pure idiocy, some guy babbling like a diaper kid
>holy fucking shit kill yourselves, get the fuck out of the stage, you sporkcore pieces of shit

that was my overall experience with them. one of the worst ive had.

>noise concert in hole in the wall type venue
>my friend knows the guy opening
>set's really good
>next group is up
>power electronics duo that's respected locally
>one dude kisses every piece of equipment he pulls out when he's setting up

>This isn't part of the show

>one dude pulls out this big ass bundle and tries to get it lit
>must be sage because this is North Dakota
>he starts smashing the lit bundle onto his equipment
>the smell hits
>guy is trying to hotbox the venue
>me and my friend leave

There are people who are genuinely allergic to weed and others who get drug tested regularly for work, I would have had a problem if he gave a disclaimer or something.

>babby is scared of secondhand at a show
Jesus fucking Christ.

You'll pass a urine test so long as you're not a fat fuck. What is wrong with you?

...

>ywn see Tori Amos live at her (musical) prime

Yes. She was my favorite artist in the 90's. I saw her performance of the "Dew Drop Inn" Tour and also the "5/12 weeks" Tour that she shared the billing with Alanis Moriesette. Both of those Concerts were 10/10's to be sure.

There are still robots on here, user

I would have but getting backhanded doesn't make for good foreplay.

sounds like you're just a pleb

Going to concerts stopped being fun after teenage years ended.

This.

Well that's pretty metal user

>savages set at a festival
>bull dyke and 300 pound guy literally wearing a fedora right next to me
>they smell worse than seems humanly possible
>fedora fuck keeps rubbing all over the fat dyke

I might've been cool with it if it were Babydaddy, who was up on stage doing his thing.

Decidedly higher standards from the crowd, especially someone going full torgaydo and causing collateral damage.

I fucking hate this shit so much. Whenever I make it early to a show to be at the front, there's always some pushy group of loudmouth shitheads who force their way to the front once it's already crowded.

I went and saw Kansas on this tour and jesus I was never more bored in my life I don't think I want to see any show again in assigned seats but even then I knew all the songs since I prepped a bit since a friend wanted to go and bought me ticket but I almost fell asleep
They weren't bad? just.. boring as hell.

>be 16
>go see Nasty Savage, Sick Of It All, and DRI at tiny punk club
>stand too close to speakers
>can't hear for 2 days

>protest the hero concert
>their live sound was worse than school band, embarrassing. awful. Their sound fucking ruined everything, despite their energy on stage.

>seen Protest twice

They really need a new sound guy

>Be me
>Go to Tiny Moving Parts (punk/emo) concert last night
>After watching the openers, three girls come and stand in front of me, facing the stage
>Girl on the left of me (major qt) keeps stealing glances at me, I pretend not to notice
>She practically pushes her friend over gradually, just so that she could be in front of me
>This can't actually be happening
>Band comes on and it gets crowded as fuck, everybody's touching, and I'm pretty much grinding on the girl who is now in front of me
>Copped a few feels, held her hips a bit and she didn't mind, she even leaned back into me
>The crowd got really rowdy, to the point where her girl friend was between us and now in front of me
>She LITERALLY (and I shit you not) dragged her friend from behind her to her side, JUST so that she could be grinded on by me

Not a bad experience, I just wanted to brag about this. Looking back at it, she could've been underage since it was an all ages show. Oh well, she seemed of age.

>Band named after the state of Kansas
>Boring

I'm not sure what you expected.

rekt lmao

How about after-concert experiences?
>go to see The Crazy World of Arthur Brown in London, alone as usual because all my friends are plebs
>get drunk because the supporting act is weak as fuck
>Arthur knocks it out of the park though, 10/10 showmanship

>Arthur comes out and says hi to us, chat with him a while, he's a really nice guy
>he leaves and we decide to leave too
>it's my last train home so I say I have to go
>she says I should hang out, that I can stay over at hers
>think she's a dead cert now

>get the train, there's another half an hour delay while we're on it
>once we're there her friends leave and we walk to her place
>chat while we walk, she says something like "free spirited guys like you are really kinda sexy" and puts her arm around me for the rest of the walk
>arrive at her flat
>"ok this is my bf's"
>mfw

...

Jesus fuck, dude.

>just b/c we just met and im inviting you over doesn't mean i wanna sleep with you!! silly boy ;p

Did you end up leaving or cucking the bf?

I left. Her bf was in so if I had stayed it would have probably been me getting cucked.

Went and took acid at a friend's house though so it wasn't a total write off.

it was, like, 8 years ago, but they still have crap live sound

Saw Boris in NY back in 2011 or 2012. It was a decent crowd size-wise, but completely dead. Nothing but mute hipsters. At one point, Takeshi leaned into the mic between songs and said "hell yeah" to try to get some energy going. Crickets.

My Bloody Valentine at Primavera sound. They're really not the type of band to play at the biggest stage on the last day of the festival. The sound was just awful, the atmosphere was non existent, normalfags talking and laughing.
MBV should only play in small venues, because then only true fans will be there to watch them.

isn't macs brother gay?

What? Your worst experience was some weird guy smoking weed at a concert, and you got scared and left. Unless you have the metabolism of a 300 pound 50 year old you'll pass a drug test.

>U2
>good
FAGGGOT

I was at a Swans concert, and the warmup was a chinese lady violently masturbating a cello for an hour.
All the hipsters there pretended they liked it, and stood there for silence for over an hour while she fucking wailed on this cello without remorse.

It was the worst. Swans was good though.

You also got to Tiny Moving Parts who are pretty sweet sound like a win win all around.

because he was at a fucking scissor sisters concert

is it the same person that is open on this tour?? okkyung ?

yeah, thats her. I like avant garde shit as much as the next person, but that was literally torture to listen to. Cello scraping blasting at max volume for one hour

if they're scissoring sisters that would just make the guy a lesbian

at electric wizard show
be up front against the rail
huge fat guy behind me keeps throwing elbows into my back
turn around and push him into the crowd
he regains his balance and tries to tackle me
barely move out of the way
hook his foot with mine
he goes headfirst into the rail
gets up with blood on his head
yells "PARTY"
continues to throw elbows at me from behind the entire concert
set finishes, two dollars short of buying a "legalize drugs and murder" shirt
look at the bruises on my back in the venue bathroom mirror
no rugrats

yoo what venue?

bummer, i listened to some of her stuff, it seemed alright. might have to go a bit late haha

you sound pleb as fuck
