    How do you post in the MIDDLE OF THIS SHOW??

    (just ask nicely! - all you can do, aside from a good shiv)

    Hope they don't fuck it up too much for you.

    That's just how much they're pissing me the fuck off. They left for now but they might come back. Hoping they won't.... Deep came on and I freaked but all I can hear was their fucking bullshit

    you have to tell them how you feel if it continues. being nice and hoping they dont fuck up your show is a losing effort. if you say, "can you please shut the fuck up," they will, most likely.

    So. They play my favorite song just now. I ask them politely not to talk through it and not only do they talk but they make fun of me. I can't.

    Happened to me in Lexington. Row of drunks in front of me talked the whole show and it was a REAL problem during the quiet 1st Encore set. Just Breathe, Thumbing My Way, and C. Numb were just about ruined by them. Hate people who do that.

    Fight fire with fire. Ear piercing, high pitched whistles or screams every time you get excited. Overpower them with your own great time.

    Dude.... I feel your pain, I've been to lots of shows, PJ or otherwise, where you're into the music or trying, and all the talking gets distracting... I understand.

    Yellow moon. Just love the way Ed sings on the song and the emotion. Soooo good.

    Tried but all i could find were cigarette butts and old beer cans. Was very flimsy.

    At TO1 they had the setlist almost right in front of us on the rail. When people around me tried to see what was on it I threatened to knock them out if they said a word. I didn't want to know and didn't want my show ruined by that. Posting a link is not as bad but fuck people just watch the show, then you will know what is next.
    Anything you lose from being honest
    You never really had to begin with.


    Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.
  • washedinblack91washedinblack91 Posts: 3,078
    Jeez that's wayyyy worse. I'm so sorry to the people who had to endure that kind of bullshit at a show! I like being surprised I would hate it if someone spoiled it for me!
