WOW. I know you have a point but I'm not sure what it is. Are you saying...wait what are you saying?

i'm sorry - i wrote at the speed of light. Main Idea:

For whatever reason after their last album, I feel like all these fairweather fans came out of nowhere. They hadn't been around in a while and now all of sudden they're all over the place.

They may be annoying, but the guys are downright obnoxious. The last DMB show I went to, this drunken idiot stood in the aisle next to me, turned around to face the crowd, and proceeded to sing the next 2 songs, complete with dancing and flamboyant arm gestures, as though everyone there had paid to see him perform. Then he passed out, fell into me, causing me to fall into the person next to me and so on in domino fashion, causing multiple bruises and much wasting of drinks.

He was the worst, but every Dave show I or anyone I know has been to, there are guys close to that bad.

Well I didn't observe that. It had been 4 years. It was a new album. I saw the same hype when ATYCLB was released. Maybe it's the newer fans - people that were prbably not old enough to know the band back in the 80's or 90's. And you'll see the same thing a year from now when the new album is released.

Oh don't get me started on DMB fans, male or female. After 13 shows I've almost seen it all. But damn I love that band.

A lot of those chicks would continue to blather on anyway.

I think Pearl Jam fans are pretty unique in that they can be incredibly fanboyish (me included) but they dont annoy me that much, with the exception of those who take everything Ed says as gospel and would defend even the shittiest song to the death just because it's PJ. I mean come on people, there is no denying that some of the tracks on riot act are weak. on the other hand, I dislike a lot of Tool fans even though I love Tool.

I think PJ fans are really annoying, I consider myself to be annoying, I mean when I meet new people I alwasys start speaking of PJ, or somehow look for the opportunity to do it, and when I start nobody stops me because Im usually drunk, and Im 6'5. hahaha yeah Im very annoying

yes, but i've never met fans who seem to think your opinion of their favorite band's weakest album is the best possible indicator of your intellect and value as a human being. you tell me riot act sucks, and ill say you're right. in fact, pearl jam hasn't been particularly compelling since yield. but you tell a radiohead fan amnesiac is a weak album or hail to thief is average, and they look at you like you were telling them hitler was onto something back in the 40s. it's the most annoying thing in the world. and i want to kick those fans in the balls.

Yeah, I definitely agree with what you're saying here. THAT is really stupid--to tell someone they're dumb because they do not like that album, however, when it comes to Radiohead... haha, no just kidding. It's definitely there with Radiohead... another band/bands that comes to mind when in this situation... it's the triad of pretentious rock:

The Mars Volta
Sparta
At the Drive-In

Haha, whenev having a debate with my friends as to who is butter... it always ends up with.. HOW CAN YOU SAY ATD-I is better than the Mars Volta??? Then one chimes in... NO! SPARTA!!!... then we all look at that one and ridicule him for even mentioning that Sparta is comparable to the other two. It's all in good fun though.

You are obviously entitled to your opinion .However to suggest that PJ hasn't done ANYTHING particularly compelling since Yield ,Hitler aside, IMO (which I am also obviously entitled to), you deserve a hefty DROP KICK in YOUR LOVESPUDS!!

any fans that always bring sales into the subject, "oh yea, well Dave Matthews Band sells more concert tickets, or "tool's last album sold more than PJ's", I'm pretty open minded, I however disagree with the first post, as Radiohead deserves every bit of credit they get, most annoying fanbase is probobly Dave Matthews Band, I love this band with a passion but before every show I see them play here in NC there are CRAZY tailgate parties and some people are so fucked up they can't walk into the concert and I always see a couple of people pukin and if Dave plays a song they don't know, its chat time all around me....nothing like they are on the DVD's.

I kinda agree, Binural and Riot act were good albums but just don't rank up there with the first 5, however I think "pearl jam" does!

No disrespect to the band - but the Tragically Hip has the most annoying fans out of any band I have ever seen in concert. WAY too many drunk jock boys yelling for "At The Hundredth Meridian" and copying every dance move and facial tick that Gord puts out....excessive sing-a-longs....the "HIP HIP HIP HIP...." chant during the encore break is mind-numbing.....

.....I saw them at a small club in Toronto a few months back and the show was amazing, but the crowd drove me nuts....I have never had more beer spilt on me by rowdy muscle bound assholes than I did that night (except maybe at a Pearl Jam concert)

....."It's not the band I hate, It's their fans" (Sloan)

Hahaha. This is so true. I prefer the term Frat Boys though. Spot on Todd.

Sometimes it's a song they love. Last year at the Hollywood Bowl, Loving Wings starts and the girl behind me tells her friend that she will have this song at her wedding. Fine, whatever it's a good song for that. Well for the entirety of this song she loves so much she continues to describe how this song fit her wedding perfectly blah blah blah!!!! She never listened to the fucking song! For those that don't know, Loving Wings is a quiet song. It wasn't like her shrill voice could be drowned out by music or crowd noise. I am in way a violent person but she was close to a punch - at least to shut her up. And I really feel for the poor bastard that will marry and eventually divorce this girl.

Agreed 100%. Radiohead fans are some of the most pretentious on earth.

Also, some fans of "screamo" bands who label as "soft" any bands fronted by lead singers who actually sing.

i never said they haven't done anything compelling, just nothing mind blowing. i think the new album is excellent but binaural and riot act were very uneven. as were amnesiac and hail to the thief. all of those albums have their moments, but to act like each of them is a flawless piece of genius is the most ridiculous thing i ever heard.

From my personal experiences... I'm going with '=W=eezer' and 'Rage Against The Machine' fans.
=W=eezer fans at General Admission gigs... they try to get past you, even when there is not place in front of you. The Weezer dudes are easy... you just yell at them and they go away. The gals... they try to pull chickenshit stuff like trying to trip you by hoooking their foot around your ankle in the pit.
Rage fans... because of the violence. Shaved head Mexican Prison dudes that throw punches instead of just enjoying the fucking music.
But, I have to say =W=eezer fans. In the pit... they smell funky... I mean, FUNKY. Like a wierd mixture of mayonaise and ass.

glasshouse

definately the radiohead fanclub. catch is - i'm also a massive radiohead fan - probably my 2nd favorite band, but the largest group of their fan base are a bunch of pretencious-indie-rock-pimple faced-high sachool wankers. fuck, they think they know/understand/appreciate all there is to know/understand/appreciate in music. arrggghhhh

suns rival

all the fucking FANS of BOY BANDS
