Prepare to be bored af

prepare for an isis attack

Awesome awesome shows, very heavy. Prepare to listen to Zach Hill shred on the drums for like an hour straight. Very sweaty and stinky venues though

Why?
That's cool
>Very sweaty and stinky venues though
As expected. Is there many drugged up people?

there were a few drunk people and a guy smoking a spliff when I saw them in london but nothing crazy

>hurr durr help me Sup Forums how do I prepare myself to go stand around and listen to music

spray yourself down with bed liner and sacrifice a dog

I'll probably carry them with me.

I presume there will be a mosh pit, how brutal is it?
Go neuter yourself, bitch.

Yep

>I presume there will be a mosh pit, how brutal is it?

>I presume there will be a mosh pit, how brutal is it?
there was a bit of fighting lol but the venue was large so people were able to duck out pretty easily
I was right at the front for a most of the time so I got bashed around a fair bit

Zašto ništa ne piše na stranici Tvornice za njih?

Neznam, al pise na thirdworlds-u

Da, čudno, i na Eventimu isto piše.
Nadam se da neće otkazati koncert.

I saw them in a really small venue. Entire show (like 60 minutes) it was just non-stop agressive moshing. I never liked moshing so I stood in the front row because I still wanted to experience DG from up close. Had to hold the railing the entire fucking time otherwise I would drown in the moshpit. I can't remember during which song it was but the crowd went so fucking crazy that I bruised like 2-3 ribs. Worth it though. MC Ride rained on me with his sweat, delicious. Saw a guy bleeding from his head and his t-shirt was ripped to shreds.

If you don't like moshing stay at sides, back or front (if you don't mind holding on to railing the entire time).

But their shows have really great energy, it's worth going.

Depends on what you want. A friend survived in the first row with pleateau shoes (don't ask me how she got that idea), just got bitten once.
I tried to stay in the front middle and, hell yeah, that was a fucking hellride.

People just sprinting through the hall, seemingly letting out all their repressed anger, everyone completely covered in sweat... I don't want to come off as cheesy, but it actually felt kind of spiritual idk.

Anyway, if you need a break you can go to the sides of the concert hall, it's relatively relaxed there.
But I strongly advice to go all in, otherwise you will regret not having done it. No drug trip came close to this concert for me.

is Hearing Damage a good Thom Yorke song?

Is it worth it, without Zach Hill?

>lol look at that pussy, he doesn't want permanent ear damage
I hope you get tinnitus in your 30s

DO NOT WEAR MEME SHIRTS

Went to the last NYC show and as soon as the first song started, someone full on decked a nerd in the Seinfeld style shirt. I don't advocate the violence, but don't be a dumbass.

have fun with the hearing damage

dont be surprised if they dont show up

It's alright, that crap annoys me.
That's what I'm afraid of.

Saw them play at Le Poisson Rogue in NYC last year. All I remember is some kid in a Jason Giambi Yankee Jersey punching the shit out of kids.

You've been warned

Did I start this meme when I made the post about bringing earplugs to the show in Tempe?

it's not a meme
some people enjoy their fully functioning ears

Jel netko iz Dalmacije da me poveze do Zagreba?

Ja sam iz Zagorja.

drink lots of water and be prepared for 2 hours of nonstop noid. Last time i saw him he didn't speak to the crowd during set once. just one song right into the next, literally no breaks and no pauses

they haven't done that in years

I went to their DC show last time and managed to get to the very front towards the right. I thought I lucked out until some guy in a wheelchair got wheeled in right next to me. I spent the whole show white-knuckle gripping the railing as the crowd thrashed back and forth to keep myself from toppling over onto him and taking the crowd with me. I couldn't dance or do fuck-all except protect this guy. At first I thought I was at least doing my part to help out a crippled DG fan, but this guy didn't give a fuck about the show at all, he just gets front row at concerts because he's crippled. I looked over at one point during the set and saw him looking up Kid Rock trivia on his phone. I ended up with an enormous bruise up and down my right leg from where I was pinned against his wheelchair.


Bring earplugs. For real. I started out without them and at the beginning of Why a Bitch Gotta Lie he shrieked so fucking loud my vision blurred and I'm pretty sure it made me a little retarded.

Stay hydrated, watch out for big fat sweaty autists getting their pent up aggression out in the mosh pit.

I was very fortunate to catch death grips at a small venue with little to no security. The only security guards there were standing up on stage near the speakers, so there was no space between ride and the crowd. It was super surreal. Here's some footy I captured youtube.com/watch?v=aP54bB3SoCw

some dude also got some really good up close footage. youtube.com/watch?v=E2xFnorlBoQ

For some advice, have fun, know basic mosh etiquette (don't swing elbows, help people who fall, etc.) And if you don't mosh but catch yourself near the edge of it, just hold an arm out while you reposition yourself somewhere else. Only do this if there is enough space between people. You do not want to stick your arm out if you are crushed in the crowd. That is an easy way to break an arm. Earplugs are a must. And to be honest, I didn't even use them until they went into Turned Off, but I'm glad I had them for that point. When the distorted fuzz comes in at 0:50 It was damn near the loudest noise I had ever heard at a concert.

DEVIL TRIPS

Death Trips

have fun being a pussy

lol

someone post the image of Memetano in a moshpit with earplugs

this

>wahh my ears ring for a couple hours
>thinks you'll actually have hearing damage from a couple hour concert, not everyday headphone use

Invest in a good pair of ear plugs. Not because they're loud, but so you don't have to listen to their trash music.

He deserved it desu

>lmao im such an edgelord for not using earplugs at concerts
have fun getting permanent tinnitus and diplacusis

are you always such a little faggot that has to place yourself in a bubble to avoid the slightest possibility of harm?

Most defining moment of my Death Grips experience
>went to show alone
>feet/back hurt from long drive/standing
>taking much longer to get to the stage then expected, crowd getting annoyed
>suddenly lights go out with no warning
>red lights come back on and everyone is on stage as if they were always there
>everyone at once sucks in air and pushes as hard as possible to the front
>I literally cannot breathe and I have to bail after a minute off to the side
>push back in when I get acclimated

God, there was so much flesh

side story
>Andy's laptop fucks up
>awkward for a while, they were about to start Up My Sleeves
>some cockbag kid yells "but you're not wearing any sleeves MC Ride"
>want to die of second hand embarrassment

This was in Philadelphia in '15 for those present

Not the guy, but you must be retarded. I have attended more concerts than you can count and got permanent tinnitus after a Mayhem show. You really don't know when it's going to happen, and when you do, it'll be too late. You probably are going to cry on Sup Forums and shitpost"mfw i got tinnitus after attending a concert mftf lads :^(" because that's how sad your life must be. Protect your ears or good luck trying to sleep.

Why do people Mosh? It's just autistic running around and hurting other people who don't want to fucking do that. The main reason I don't go to shows, so I don't have to deal with those morons who couldn't give a shit about the music

I'm not denying that tinnitus is a thing. So are car crashes. People get fucked up by anything really. Stop taking pussy precautions for everything you do.

everyone who moshes probably listen to music as a fashion accessory

prepare to be bombarded with a bunch of pasty fucking white boys

Why do people dance? Are you asking that? It's fucking dance and music, they go hand and hand.

Do you mean this atrocity?

brb buying dg tickets so I can beat the shit out of underage Sup Forumsdrones without repercussions

You are a fucking moron.

>go to 9:30 club concert
>get there early
>procure a spot at the top deck
>enjoy music without getting punched

mosh pits are dumb tbqh

>avoiding using seat belts because it's a "pussy precaution"

yep you are retarded

>You ARE going to get tinnitus after going to one death grips concert. It's set in stone. You are a fucking MORON if you don't use pussyplugs because you ARE going to get tinnitus.

Yeah man don't wear a seatbelt unless you are a fucking pussy

nu-males should be eradicated

Just stop.

i don't understand how posters on a music board are against ear protection. they make ear plugs specifically for music so you'll still be able to hear everything, just at a lower volume.

i dont care

if i see someone with ear plugs i'll beat the shit out of them

deal with it

it's like wearing a helmet on a peddle bike. go ahead and wear them, but don't pretend you aren't a pussy.

Sometimes you can hear better with ear plugs because it cancels out the distortion.

When I saw DG it was a very active crowd. the pit was constantly swirling with people and even a few crowd surfers. it was louder than most concerts and sounded very distorted up front. when i put ear plugs in it sounded much better and i could actually make out what the fuck was going on in the song.

crowd was crazy, but met a lot of cool people. overall a good crowd.

because only REAL men get concussions

>earplugs? more like pussyplugs
I rather be a "pussy" than some fucking inbred retard who probably attended two shows in his entire pathetic life

fuck off nu-male, if you dont know how to ride a bike and make a mistake you're retarded

only pussies fall on bikes

sounds made up

said the 120 lb manlet high school kid

you won't do shit pussyboi

not really. this type of stuff happens to people at shows all the time

you dont know shit faggot, i'll punch your fucking face in

bullshit, even if they did have an ambulance on site and they weren't called I'd have to be amateur hour if they're going to release a black out drunk back into the public, not to mention how fast the police would've already been involved. it would've ended in a stay in the drunk tank

good luck I'm 8 ft and 420 lbs I'll rip your nuts off and force you to use them as earplugs

don't you have some anime to beat off to, loser?

...

passed out at seattle show in mosh candy flipping, got right back in the thick of it. prepare for the time of your life friend

I don't usually go to concerts with earplugs, but for DG I wish I did and I would 1000% recommend it. My hearing was out for a few days after and I'm sure it's probably worse than it was before it, even though it did recover. At some points the pitch was so loud that my ears started stabbing hurting during the show

>candyflipping at a dg show

why

I meant pitch was so high

why would you not for one of your favorite bands, pure primal euphoria m8

Seriously.
I forgot mine my ears were ringing for like 72 hours afterward.
I would rather gradually destroy my hearing over a long period rather than all at once.
Guys, wear earplugs. Please.

this post made me laugh very loudly. good writing, user.

why do tripfags lie
at least lie anonymously

riding bikes is different, because you can control yourself, but with DG its gonna be really loud and probably give you some sort of hearing damage, depending on how close you are to the speakings

THIS
Had light tinnitus at night before.
Brought a pair of earplugs, but my right one fell out midshow. Guess which ear now has tinnitus during the daytime?

>tfw got to see DG before they blew up
2011 was a magical year.

Saw them when the money store had just came out. It was fantastic, over an hour of nonstop music, they blended all the songs together. Looked like they didn't give a shit in the best way ie. smoking on stage, only bright red lights/strobes, computer monitors playing weird footage. Hopefully they're still that good

if zach, ride, and andy don't wear earplugs, why should i?

They actually went deaf a long time ago, now they play the music in their heads and then record it

wonder why their post-2014 stuff is so shit?

But it isn't
