People who talk non stop at concerts

Lerxst1992

Not just talk at a show, but they SHOUT over the band! seriously, what’s the point spending money to shout over the band.

 I almost got my head handed to me at a PJ MSG show in 2003 bc a non fan would not shut up trying to impress his date and I was begging him to take his shouting to the entrance of the concourse, or you know, enjoy this incredible band or some nonsensical thought like that.

It’s not a movie, it’s a rock concert. I paid my money, if I’m hanging with friends I haven’t seen for a while I’m gonna have a conversation and some laughs with them. It’s not a movie or a play. 

The same logic can be applied to a movie or play if one is self centered enough.

Don't go to an urban movie theatre.  They talk TO THE MOVIE!  It is a different experience for sure but just be prepared for it.

Went to Claypool and Frog Brigade.  Dude behind me would not shut up.  I kept turning around to give him looks.  Thankfully he spent more time getting beer than behind me.

I agree with the selfies, pictures and video, can be annoying.
But I don’t think I can hear people talking over the band and crowd singing along. At least not at a rock show.  I could see it happening at an acoustic set.

I forgot my earplugs for the Les Claypool show, so had to hang near the back for the Animals set... there was a group of people who wouldn't stfu for the majority of it, super f'ing frustrating. Why spend $75 to go talk to people & yell over the music? It doesn't make sense to me. 

& not for nothing, but suburban movie theaters suck too. I took my nephew to see the most recent Creed movie a couple months ago... I need to remember to not go see movies when they first come out, at least not one that might appeal to teenagers... one of the worst movie theater experiences I've ever had.

Just about saw two people come to blows at a jazz club because one was talking to his gf non stop and loudly. 

Reminds me of the scene from The Simpsons.

I agree! I definitely don’t need to hear someone talking to me during Evenflow when I’m trying to pee!

How's it hanging over there? 3 shakes and you're good? I usually do a 4th shake just to be sure. How old were you when you got circumcised?

Grab a bite to eat or a drink before/after the show to catch up and discuss the music.

Exactly

I would feel very awkward being friends with someone who feels a rock concert is a place for us to "have a conversation". 

Slipping out a "OH MY GOD THEY'RE PLAYING 'ESTRANGED'" or "SHE'S PLAYING 'WE ARE NEVER EVER GETTING BACK TOGETHER' THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING IT'S YOUR FAVORITE SONG BESTIE!" is one thing...

but having conversations? Sickos. 

ZoSoTim

If you comment something about the performance to your friend I have no problem with that. People that have full on conversations about unrelated topics deserve a savage beating.

So damn annoying.

The phones are still the most annoying to me. Or the guy at the MMJ concert wearing a fucking cowboy hat that just had to stand in front of me.

Followed closely by people who scream sing the whole show. Kudos to them for knowing every word to every song, but your voice shouldnt hurt my ears more than the amps. 

Both suck

Nah. It’s great.

Agreed. Fans don’t need to be good singers; hopefully they’re into it!

Maybe you both haven’t experienced it quite like I have. They aren’t bad singers singing loud (I fit in that group often). They are probably drunk and damn near screeching the song to be obnoxious. 

Happened twice to me. I would actually take conversations over it in the two times I experienced.

i get it, but after 20 yrs of doing this at concerts, it makes me chuckle a bit.

The worst are theaters that have a bar in the room. Capitol theater for example.  Concerts are social events and not every person is there too hang on to every note. You pays your money and takes your chances. The loud singers happen one of my friends has that issue. I still love him LOL. I have another friend that likes to shout yee haw! People have fun in different ways and that is the point of going to a concert.

If all you're going to are shows with pits and stage diving, yes this is not a concern.

So what's funny about the talking during movies thing is I am DYING to go to a Rocky Horror Picture Show participation movie, lol.

As for suburban?  I've seen Endgame, Captain Marvel, all 3 latest SW movies and there was only one idiot I can recall rifling through his bag of potato chips.  I sit in the way back so i don't know what's going on down front or in the middle.  I will plead ignorance to that.
