Screaming in people's ears

in Given To Fly (live)
Why is it that some people just do not get that when they are SCREAMING the words to songs - every word of every song at the top of their lungs- with people in front of them that are just a bit lower than them - that the result is that they are screaming in their ears ALL freaking night long?

I would like to thank the two very loud mouth fellas in section 113 row 2 seats 13-14ish for the splitting headache from having you SHOUT into my ears all night long, and BTW you can't sing - could not carry a tune to save your life , and then screaming to each other when there are no lyrics to butcher? What does Eddie sound like? I have plumb forgot.

I don't mind the occasional sing along, and Pearl Jam has certainly become a sing-a-long band I guess - but seriously - use a little restraint please???

Love and kisses!!!

    You should probably stay home and listen to the boots then. Screaming every song would be ridiculous, I agree. But it sounds like you mean when people are singing along you don't like it.

    It's just about being considerate. People aren't, unfortunately.

    I'm not upset with people singing along - no, not at all.

    I wish people wouldn't scream in my ear.

    There is a huge difference.

    I agree - Screaming every song is completely ridiculous. In addition, screaming to each other when there are no lyrics - or screaming the lyric that is about to come up, all directly into my ears, is absurd and very rude.

    I was in section 113, row 5, seat 12 and I saw the people you are talking about. All I can say is, better you than me!

    I was 113 row 2 seat 15. Those guys were beyond obnoxious and screamed (off key and off time) including making guitar sounds for solos. This is my fav band and I'm all about everyone having the time of your life at a show (this is my biggest hobby) but I'm not surprised that those guys ruined the experience for others.

    Edit: yes, I was right next to them and the guy screamed directly into the back of my head for three straight hours.

    I do not.
    As I air guitar, I hop up and down on my left foot, while chugging Jaeger.
