Dear uploader,

We are sorry to inform you, but your video has been demonetized. Not because of anything in the video explicitly, but because we don't want to pay you, that is too much.

Thank you,

It is amazing, it was just a victim of its own success. For a few years there you couldn’t go a day without hearing it at least once. Enough time’s passed now that I can again appreciate it for what it is.

No, those days are over.

On the one hand, who goes to a metal show to sit down? Just because the venue happens to have seats doesn't mean that they are required to be used unless the venue says so.

On the other hand, if you're the only one choosing to stand in a sea of metal fans who prefer to sit while head banging, and if one of them politely asked you to sit down and you didn't, then you're maybe a little bit of an asshole, but I'm not saying it went down that way. Even then I am no closer to understanding why multiple metal fans would prefer to sit.

Idk personally I think if a venue has seats then the expectation is to be sitting most of the time. I have been to countless rock/metal/hardcore shows and very few have actual seats so it’s never been a problem for me. If I was in a massive arena I’d probably stay seated. Tough decision!

One thing to be a pompous ass on flat ground blocking tons of people's view, unless the seats had no incline or literally everyone around you was sitting, I don't see how it's cool to throw a beer at you since you weren't plainly and clearly being an ass like this person in the video. Especially with seats where it's not hard to wiggle your way over and politely ask someone to sit down

At seated venues you should really be seated, they design the whole venue around everyone being seated so that everyone can actually see the show. If you want to rock out they almost always have standing sections you can go hang in, or just go to the pit.

I went to a Volbeat concert a couple years ago and saw someone sitting in the front row of the seated section who was standing up the entire show and everyone behind him was /pissed/. Security kept coming over to yell at him to sit down, his buddy tried to plead with him to sit down and in the end he didn't sit down until several pissed off people were threatening to fight him

Were you blocking someone's view?

Yes it was during a press conference in Iraq in 2008. The guy was a journalist and before throwing it at him said “this is a farewell kiss from the Iraqi people dog”

Yes, that’s the first inaugural Dodgeball International Champion, George W. Bush

Or clearly be eyeballing the cameraperson. Not their chest, but dead focused on their crotch. Maybe add a concerned eyebrow? Implying that maybe--just maybe--they've got something on themselves.

LMFAO brilliant!

We always end up as the path that people walk that wait until the show starts to suddenly have to get to the front or leave the show.

I've started putting my face as close to theirs without touching them as they pass by. It usually stops others from doing the same thing once they see it.

This has me dying 😂

Because I'm a drunk and won't remember shit.

I'm 4'11" so my view of concerts is either the shoulders of the person in front of me, or a tiny image of the concert on the phone they're holding up.

I went on holidays with friends and I didn't take many pictures or videos at all. At the end of the trip, we made a shared album and one friend posted loads of videos and pictures from important events and the like.

At the time I thought it was a bit silly that he was constantly taking pictures and videos (mostly because he'd spend so long on each one) but now, 5 years later, I'm able to show people things from the trip or just flick through them myself.

Now I take a lot more random pictures and videos when I'm with my friends.

They're great to have and I love getting random reminders ("On this day 5 years ago" etc) or just flicking through them when I'm feeling down or bored on a long journey. I live on the other side of the world from many friends so it's good to stay connected if I post random things I did that day, etc.

You shouldn't record the whole thing, but people shouldn't look down on people who like to record videos to share with friends or add to memory albums.

Exactly. I don't care about posting my videos at all. Small clips like those are special because I took it, it brings me back to the POV of watching the concert.

Holding up your phone the entire time is one thing but this comment section is acting like taking any photos/videos is blasphemous. People are forgetting that people also take videos just for themselves, not just social media.

This is not something specific to nowadays, people have been taking photos and videos for decades even before social media.

You are really over estimating how much people on this website go outside (and a lot of them are probably too young to go to concerts)

don't have girlfriends*

I don't go to concerts but I'm also so confused by this comment section. I thought it's completely normal to get on someone's shoulders?

It must've been a lame concert, if people were getting upset about a girl being on someone's shoulders.

Sounds like half of this reddit thread was at the concert.

We go to a lot of gigs and festivals. One of them Ed Sheeran was headlining and a friend really wanted to see it so we went. Probably the worst live event I've ever attended. Not because of Ed Sheeran (he's very talented), but we were surrounded by teenage girls and if your arm so much as touched their arm they'd turn and give you the most withering look. I ended up standing pretty much stock still the entire set with a bad back from trying to avoid touching anyone around me. No one was dancing or jumping or even putting their hands in the air, it was absolutely weird. Our boyfriends had ducked out to get a drink right at the start and we never saw them again. They said they couldn't get through for the same reason, people glaring at them and blocking them for daring to try and get to a better spot mid set (although that may have been an excuse, neither of them are big Ed Sheeran fans!).

This is not a comment on age. We go to loads of gigs where the audience skews young and it kicks off. Younger people seem to form mosh pits (or we call them bounce pits now because they're much less violent! - which I personally prefer) for literally anything. We go to quite a few week night gigs at local venues and there will be a crowd of 10, mostly teens, with 5 people on 5 people's shoulders. We once saw a guy on his 18th birthday try to crowd surf and the 'crowd' was basically his three mates, us and maybe 6-7 other people. Not surprisingly he hit the deck. It was pretty funny but only after we saw him at the train station on the way home and knew he was definitely OK.

Back in my day we used to beat our children and they just took it!

That's just your typical reddit hate of people that have never been to a concert or don't have anyone to put/sit on their (SO's) shoulders
