For anyone who doesnt know, the band isnt done playing until the house lights come up. We all know youre coming back on if you walk off and the lights dont come back on
I left my first Metallica concert early because I thought they were done. I was half way out of the arena before Fight Fire with Fire started. So it does work for people not expecting it
I’ve fully been bamboozled by this in the opposite direction. A band went as far as pulling the house lights back up and then as I was almost back to the door, hard fade to black, they came back out and I was like “…tf?”
I do love when Ghost introduces the members of the band during show because it's so fucking tongue-in-cheek funny since everyone who isn't Papa is just "Ghoul."
I remember reading a Korn interview where they said that they hate the fake encores too, but they have to keep doing them because every crowd expects it nowadays.
I feel like most headliner bands have fake encores, and even some supporting acts. In recent memory there was only one band that I recall that said "we will not do the whole encore bit, just gonna play our last few songs". Kinda felt refreshing to me 😂
Nah the thing with encores be getting absurd at this point. There was one band I seen where they played their “last song” and everyone walked off the stage except the drummer. Like dude couldn’t even be bothered to get up so he just sat there crouched down despite the fact their backing light was casting his silhouette on the entire crowd. And even more to the point, I’ve seen bands personally release setlist before shows on socials and the like have the songs their gonna play with “Encore” followed by one or two more songs. All while still walking off stage after their “last” song. Shits wild to me. Though one band did it right. They played their “last” song but waited until the crowd was convinced there was no encore, before coming back out. The only people in the venue were people trying to get pictures with the band and merch. Played like a small acoustic set. Super dope.
Went to a The Dear Hunter show, and they were like, "When we play our last song we're done, no encores. In fact, every band you see do a fake walk off for an encore, just leave." I hope it catches on, to be honest
23:57 That's actually really cool. Shout out to that legend for sticking it out and not letting their emotions get in the way of why they're there. Like mad respect.
I can confirm David Draiman still does the abuse breakdown. I saw them in July with my mom (my mom likes Disturbed and she's aware of that part) but as soon as he started doing it she was laughing cause everyone knew the words to it and was singing along to it.
Anthony Green referring to the audience as his “little puppies” during a Saosin set. “I like it when my little puppies dance.” Really killed the vibe for me
Regarding the encore part: we hang around because we know they're coming back but we still cheer. I thought that was normal. Pretty much every band that comes here does that and I've never seen the crowd going silent or leaving.
only once have i seen a true encore at a concert lol it was back when i went to go see Red in 2017. they got through their whole setlist, finishing with one of their biggest hits from their first album. the house lights immediately went back on along with the wait music once their set was done. but the crowd was so cheering so loudly that the band walked back on stage and played a deep cut off their new album. it was amazing!
I saw was at a spite show and Bodysnatcher played first. Awesome set great crowd. Awesome start. Then Bad Omens played. The most dead crowd I’ve ever seen. The power went out during their set and the vocalist had the audacity to say “I guess we are just too heavy” dead silence after that. So awkward for the rest of the set. The second Spite started everyone went crazy. Crowdkilling immediately ensued and I'd be lying if I said I didn't partake
After weeks of practice - "Society bad you guys! Ok?!" It's so corny to see artists do anything so pretentious that has nothing to do with their music.
As a career musician I feel I must defend introducing the band. It doesn't matter if you in the audience likes it or not because it's not done for the audience, it's done for the unknown musicians that have put countess hours of commitment into their job so that they can entertain you and make the person that everyone does know their name up front sound good. We worked hard and dedicated our lives to getti9ng on that stage so we have earned that introduction.
Man I've been watching y'all for years and I feel like y'all stick to your roots! And that's great! Yeah my wife and I enjoyed that Eiffel 65 story a lot, I hope y'all always stay friends into old age!
Worse than fake encores, i think, is when the crowd wants it but it never happens so applause/chanting just slowly dies out and people wander off in twos and threes
One time when I saw Stryper in 2014, they had this one Christian band opening that I forget the name of. I remember the bassist looking like Ned Flanders, and there was one point when the singer went on a rant about prayer in schools and then took to reciting the pledge of allegiance and emphasized "UNDER GOD" before playing their next song. I get that this is a Christian metal show, but I'd like to think most Christians are of the understanding that there's a time and a place for this.
I remember about 10 years ago at a KISS concert Paul Stanley said “this is usually the part where we go away for a few minutes, then we come back and do a couple more songs, but we’re not doing that. We’re just gonna play more songs!” It was awesome and allowed for several more songs that would’ve been normally been put aside for the whole crowd chanting, lights going on, etc…
When I saw Upon a Burning Body it felt like they wanted the fake encore for every song. They'd play for 2 minutes, then all leave the stage for a minute and come back out like they're just starting their set. This happened half a dozen times. I felt like most of the crowd became a little confused after the third or so walk off.
at a powerviolence show a week ago someone yelled "the song hasn't even started yet man why are you moshing stop it" as i walked out from behind stage where i had been taking photos all night to go mosh for one song.
Worse than "fake" encores, when there are no encores while everyone is screaming for more... I remember a Moriarty concert where we had so many encores they confessed they had no more songs and played something they used to jam to. It was incredibly cute, from one of the rare bands I got to see more than once 🎉
They gotta start using that reverse encore... go off for a couple minutes and run back out and shout "We haven't had enough of you folks yet, give it up for yourselves one more time!!!" then play one more
I once filled in on guitar for a band at a college show on recording the band was sick what I didn’t realize was live the vocalist sounded like pre pubescent boy and the drummer played the wrong song EVERY time until the first chorus. After 2 songs the singer said “take a step forward let’s get intimate” obviously nobody stepped forward. I’m not standing there literally face palming on stage thinking how tf did I end up in this situation when the singer gets pissed and screams “ I SAID TAKE A F*CKING STEP FORWARD”.. people just slowly stepped forward out of fear
All concerts I've been to nothing cringe happened or stood out if it did, but closest I can say is when lead singer of sevendust during the music is weapon tour bck in early 2010 I think,in this moment, sevendust,disturbed,korn..but the amount of time sevendust tried to get the morons in pit to know how to do the circle was just gold and he just said fuck it lol
With the encore thing there's a band called the Wildhearts who have a well rehearsed encore routine that the fans are in on, where they leave then the fans sing the hidden track from one of their albums, which has 3 overlapping parts, the fans divide it up without any need for direction then the band come back on. Occasionally though the singer just says "heres the bit where we fuck off, you sing for a bit, then we come back... How about we cut out the middle man and just play 3 songs instead?"
The society banner would’ve gone over better if they: A. Didn’t outright call attention to it (i.e.: “This is what I think…”), and B. Did the more punk thing and burn it while playing in a small club that would’ve undoubtedly freaked out about it.
18:36 I Once two stepped the shit out of Wait and Bleed along with 15 seconds of roundhouses at the end of the song at a slipknot gig, definitely got some interesting looks
8:54 I absolutely haaaate doing this. Was in a cover band and the keyboard player and drummer were much older and been playing since the 80s. They're wanting to do all this cheesy crowd work and I'm like....let's just jam.
9:28 give it up for Getty Lee on the base! Rocking us all night long into the new year, with their next song, YYZ. Leading into 2112. Hoise your canadian alloted birthright flaggon of Maple syrup to the syrup reserve gods.
Once I went to watch a band play, some local band was opening. They got mad and proceeded to swear at the crowd because no one was singing along to their songs while they kept holding the microphone out to the crowd.
Former rock star here. The proper form for drinking wine during a gig is 1)Have some glass, use a glass. Beer steins work fine. 2)There is no shame in being a wine drinking rock star. It's uncool, sure, but you should be used to being an outcast by now, so fly that freak flag!
I was at the Rave in Milwaukee, WI about 15 years ago, and the band that went on after us, the singer took his shirt off, then layed a towel on the floor and proceeded to stick his finger down his throat to make himself puke on stage on the towel. All of this happening mid song. so cringe! lol
The "society" banner guy probably told his little brother and his brothers best friend, "I got a big show coming up. We could get signed with 'Victory'! Prolly will... Anyway, we're short 2 stagehands cuz I fired them! I need you guys to bring the banner onstage and hold it real steady. Oh and you'll have to bring it to the show, and keep it with you till we go on. You guys are awesome thanks! See ya!"
I attend dozens of big shows every year and out of all those shows I saw last year, there were only three shows where the crowd just erupts after the last song and kept it going in hopes of an encore. All the other bands would walk off stage and waited just a couple of minutes before running back on stage whether the crowd got loud or not, it was cringe every time. The 3 bands that got true encores waited for a long time before coming back on stage and only after the crowd had stayed loud the whole time. They were Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit, The Black Crowes, and the band that waited the longest and got the loudest applause wanting an encore was Robert Plant and Alison Kraus, they waited an eternity and for their encore they covered Zeppelins Rock and Roll, which was Epic.
My cringiest gig story is when I got essentially held hostage by my own band. We finished our set at a small dive bar but the sound guy just didn't turn on the background music again so we played one more song. But then my other two band mates just kept starting more songs and we had basically run out of playable material. So I kept trying to end the set and they kept going...
I was once at a local venue and Wolves at the Gate was performing, they played a couple of songs and then the vocalist proceeded to go on a 15-20 minute talk about religion… not what we went to a concert for. My friend and I walked outside and smoked a cigarette until the next band came on.
I watched an opener for a hardcore show (solo set) scream while playing piano. Bad piano, blood curdling screams. They then decided to start stapling shit onto their body while screaming into the mic. Nobody cheered, nothing, it was just weird.
It would be even more cringe if they'd be touring WITH the brothers 🤣 Having said that, I'm totally with you on a fact that it isn't Pantera. The same about Sepultura who is touring over 25 or whatever years already under false name
Phil got the blessing of the Abbott family to go under the name “Pantera”for the tours; Phil Anselmo is on record having nothing but respect for dimebag and Vinnie, he never even called Vinnie ‘Vinnie’, he called him “Vince”, that’s how much respect he has for him and he never once has complained about being hated by Vinnie, that was just his brother
I think it was in 2017 or 2018 when I went to my first metal show. It was my first Band Crush Arch Enemy, and I was super hyped for them. But they had 3 support bands, of which I knew non. Two of them turnend out to be awesome, Jinjer and Wintersun. The third band however (which I don´t remember the name of) was a bit odd. I cannot remember their style, but one of the guitarrists jumped around on the stage like a tornado the whole set, until about 20 minutes in. At that point he twisted to much, he fell over right into the drumms, and kicking down half the drummset. Forcing him to rebuild the drumset midsong, nobody caring to assit him. When he was done he finished the set not moving away from his designated position. It was hillarious
7:05 this is where you break out your poster board labeled society and you projectile vomit Jack Daniels onto it while you're dressed like Phil Anselmo but the version of Phil that goes trick or treating dressed up like Phil ansELMO... THAT'S A MUPPETS PUN. I'LL JUST LEAVE THAT HERE
11:25 puke and rally ladies and gentlemen, puke and rally. TCOB, figure it out get her done, kick the tires and light the fires, Man the missonboom...full sails ahead, captain Ron's gotcha in his busty bossom...
How about this one: A noise band punching their out of tune guitar strings alongside a guy destroying his vocal chords and incoherent drum beats. During their set the vocalist dropkicked a girl in the front row and threw the micstand at another band
Went to Fallout boy when I was in High school. Cobra Starship and Paul Wall opened for them. Paul wall is on stage, and he goes all the way to the verrrrrry edge of the stage, puts his mic out to the crowd, and screams, “HOLLA IF YOU AINT GOT STDS!!!” Lol fucking what? Everyone in the stadium did a collective, “huh?” It didn’t get any better after that.
I remember listening to Blink-182s live album the mark tom and Travis show and they joked that they were going to comeback out and the shows not over, it’s funny as hell as they are so self aware how cringe it is.
I went to a show and the lead singer/bassist jumped to hit the first chord but slammed his head on the ceiling and knocked himself out, it was actually pretty scary.
I went to see Coheed and Cambria for the first time, and one of the openers was Glassjaw. The guitarist was in a thick puffy jacket, looking like he lost a bet (it was an indoor venue), and the only crowd interaction was the singer yelling "get that fuckin camera outta my face." Just awful performance, and the other two openers before them blew me away. Shoutout to Silver Snakes and I the Mighty!
Shoutout welcome to rockville 2021 when the lady peed on a guy on stage, and Blue Ridge Rockfest 2023 (the whole thing counts) for being my most cringe show experiences ever
A 5FDP concert at the illinois state fair( please dont kill me i was there to see nonpoint), they fucking didna surprise recruitment ceremony for some guy going into the air force. They legit pulled him up on stage and an airforce recruiter came out of nowhere and swore him 😂. That was peak cringe for me
@dreck250 all that remains was there too and they fucking killed it. I have to admit death punch wasn't as bad as I thought they were gonna be, they played a lot of their shit from the first album and the lead singer was finally sober lol, still don't talk about it much though cuz, ya know
Literally just happened last weekend. My husband's band agreed to give this band a shot opening for them without much info.... they were all adults mind you, not children.... 2 guitarists and a drummer. Not only completely out of sync the whole time (couldn't even do a green day cover....) one guitarist kept trying to solo.... had no concept of scales or key and at least half the notes didn't even ring out, and the other guitarist had some nice jackson with one of those trems on it that you tune from the bridge... he was severely out of tune, using a phone app and trying to tune it with the tuning pegs on the headstock. When that didn't work to make him sound better he just cranked the mids on the amp. Which btw they were 30 min late, only brought their guitars and had to borrow gear, and then left (with all the friends they promised to bring) when they finished.
This is more on an audience pet peeve. When people start clapping unsolicited. Especially when it’s a quiet song. First of all YOU’RE CLAPPING ON THE WRONG BEAT AND SECONDLY YOUR TEMPO SUCKS! Ugh! So annoying 😤
7:38 Dickies just like yeah, imagine if you were that guy, party like a rockstar as he should and then he goes on stage and apparently you know everybody's got a problem with him so he jumps at the guitarist even though he's got you know pretty much a body like me, like exactly like me and like let's just say he wore the same clothes I do, had the same earrings, pretty much walked exactly like me and talked the same as I do, did the same kind of vocals, you know yeah that would be nuts to leave that guy passed out on the floor, you know not like he wasn't living as best life like you told me to I mean told him to... Like you told him, not me that wasn't, they couldn't have been me because I don't get beat up, so yeah, I don't know though maybe stop judging the guy for trying to live like a rockstar and land a flying bicycle kick for once. You don't know how awesome it looked in my eye-HIS EYES. HE PROBABLY THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE EPIC AND YOU KNOW HIS FEELINGS MIGHT BE A LITTLE HURT BECAUSE EVERYBODY LEFT THEM ON THE GROUND AND NOW I'VE GOT SUNBURNS I MEAN HE'S GOT SUNBURNS AND YOU KNOW HE SAID HE WAS PEELING. HE COULD HAVE GOT CANCER FROM LIKE THE SUN SUPER COOKING HIS ALCOHOL MOLECULES TO A POINT OF HYPERACTIVE FISION AND MICROWAVED HIM FROM THE INSIDE OUT, I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU BUT I WOULD FEEL THAT... LEAVING ME ON THE STAGE, HIM ON THE STAGE GODDAMN IT OKAY YOU GOT ME. I KICKED MY DRUMMER BUT I MEAN OBVIOUSLY YOU GUYS ALL SAW THAT I LEARNED MY LESSON OKAY? I GET IT, DON'T KICK YOUR DRUMMER AND THE SUN WILL BURN YOUR ASS QUICKER THAN A CHICKEN NUGGET IN A DEEP FRYER. OKAY IS THAT GOOD ENOUGH? CAN WE MOVE ON FOR THE LOVE OF GOD
For anyone who doesnt know, the band isnt done playing until the house lights come up. We all know youre coming back on if you walk off and the lights dont come back on
A lot of people don't know this and start leaving.
@@RyanConnell5150 makes the practice of leaving the stage even worse, doesn't it?
I left my first Metallica concert early because I thought they were done. I was half way out of the arena before Fight Fire with Fire started. So it does work for people not expecting it

It's amazing how long people stand there even after they turn those on.
I do love when Ghost introduces the members of the band during show because it's so fucking tongue-in-cheek funny since everyone who isn't Papa is just "Ghoul."
F'n MASSIVE LOVE for @Ghost
I don't think you know what that means.
@@wee7750that's exactly what tongue-in-cheek means
I remember reading a Korn interview where they said that they hate the fake encores too, but they have to keep doing them because every crowd expects it nowadays.
To hell with what the crowd expects. Do what you want, how you want at your show.
gives u a chance to take a leak
its the type of thing where they did it once and now its expected so if they dont it kinda sucks
Austin defaulting to the Aussie accent in comedic pieces is such a classic
That's a British accent. 💀💀
"Boobs? Yeah I've touched em"
I agree, but it’s 100% British bro
As an Aussie, didn't hear Aussie in it!
He must think all us Brits are cringy or something, idk lmao! 😂
Austin’s humor is aging like a fine wine. He could be a comedian.
He could be! Down to his mannerisms he’s the best
I feel like most headliner bands have fake encores, and even some supporting acts. In recent memory there was only one band that I recall that said "we will not do the whole encore bit, just gonna play our last few songs". Kinda felt refreshing to me 😂
Nothing More is known for saying that. They literally don’t do encores.
Austin's transition to Jelly Roll is 70% complete.
Nah the thing with encores be getting absurd at this point. There was one band I seen where they played their “last song” and everyone walked off the stage except the drummer.

Austin should honestly do stand-up, absolutely hilarious dude.
9:25 periphery is the only band to have pulled this off, in an album at least
“Who’s voice goes up like an angel and down like a wounded Ox”
Brilliant
Periphery fucks so hard🤘
I love these videos that are 20% normal talking and 80% austin adding to a joke and jared just laughing
“Cynthia Gagglestone” had me dying 😂
It begs the question… does Cynthia gaggle on stones?
23:57 That's actually really cool. Shout out to that legend for sticking it out and not letting their emotions get in the way of why they're there. Like mad respect.
I can confirm David Draiman still does the abuse breakdown. I saw them in July with my mom (my mom likes Disturbed and she's aware of that part) but as soon as he started doing it she was laughing cause everyone knew the words to it and was singing along to it.
He also does the introducing the band throughout the concert too lmao shit was annoying
I’m surprised that they don’t just make that part instrumental now. That’s the easiest solution imo
I saw him do it live last month. My 53 year old dad and I just looked at each other, uncomfortably.
Anthony Green referring to the audience as his “little puppies” during a Saosin set.
“I like it when my little puppies dance.”
Really killed the vibe for me
So ducking cringe 😩 dude literally says whatever’s on his mind
Fuck me that Eiffel 65 shit is hilarious
God I hope someone out there has a video of that I really need to see this
When frontmen try to be super commanding to the crowd and fail to do so it's always a good cringe moment
Regarding the encore part: we hang around because we know they're coming back but we still cheer. I thought that was normal. Pretty much every band that comes here does that and I've never seen the crowd going silent or leaving.

😤 seen all three of those bands idk bad omens fucks 🤷🏼♂️
Yea man Spite is just pure energy on stage.
After weeks of practice -
"Society bad you guys! Ok?!"
It's so corny to see artists do anything so pretentious that has nothing to do with their music.
Ugh wine is the bleghhh of alcohol lmao.
Fuckin Austin....let me chug my Chardonnay!!
The bit about the fake encore 😂😂 I’m here from musician mansion and Austin is a hidden comedic genius 😂😂
Phil Anselmo be like : I was only in the brothel asking for directions on how to get far away from there

it’s been a minute since i saw this show
How is Austin so fucken funny !?!? Lol
Man I've been watching y'all for years and I feel like y'all stick to your roots! And that's great! Yeah my wife and I enjoyed that Eiffel 65 story a lot, I hope y'all always stay friends into old age!

Craig Mabbit trying to get a wall of death going with little to no participation was pretty cringe.
The "society" banner guy probably told his little brother and his brothers best friend, "I got a big show coming up. We could get signed with 'Victory'! Prolly will... Anyway, we're short 2 stagehands cuz I fired them! I need you guys to bring the banner onstage and hold it real steady. Oh and you'll have to bring it to the show, and keep it with you till we go on. You guys are awesome thanks! See ya!"
I attend dozens of big shows every year and out of all those shows I saw last year, there were only three shows where the crowd just erupts after the last song and kept it going in hopes of an encore. All the other bands would walk off stage and waited just a couple of minutes before running back on stage whether the crowd got loud or not, it was cringe every time. The 3 bands that got true encores waited for a long time before coming back on stage and only after the crowd had stayed loud the whole time. They were Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit, The Black Crowes, and the band that waited the longest and got the loudest applause wanting an encore was Robert Plant and Alison Kraus, they waited an eternity and for their encore they covered Zeppelins Rock and Roll, which was Epic.
Does Dickey do comedy?? Why is he so damn funny. 💀
You are awesome. Me laughy till salt water came out my eyeholes
9:15 Mikael from Opeth does this at virtually every show now, but he makes jokes about it, so most people don't mind it.
My cringiest gig story is when I got essentially held hostage by my own band. We finished our set at a small dive bar but the sound guy just didn't turn on the background music again so we played one more song. But then my other two band mates just kept starting more songs and we had basically run out of playable material. So I kept trying to end the set and they kept going...
I was once at a local venue and Wolves at the Gate was performing, they played a couple of songs and then the vocalist proceeded to go on a 15-20 minute talk about religion… not what we went to a concert for. My friend and I walked outside and smoked a cigarette until the next band came on.
I watched an opener for a hardcore show (solo set) scream while playing piano. Bad piano, blood curdling screams. They then decided to start stapling shit onto their body while screaming into the mic. Nobody cheered, nothing, it was just weird.
Holy shit! The stripper dancing to just the breakdown thing in down with the sickness gives me an idea for a remix!
11:27 here in Scotland we call that a "tactical whitey" or "tactical spew"
Phil and Rex touring as "Pantera" without the Abbott Brothers is cringe.
It would be even more cringe if they'd be touring WITH the brothers 🤣
Having said that, I'm totally with you on a fact that it isn't Pantera. The same about Sepultura who is touring over 25 or whatever years already under false name
Phil got the blessing of the Abbott family to go under the name “Pantera”for the tours; Phil Anselmo is on record having nothing but respect for dimebag and Vinnie, he never even called Vinnie ‘Vinnie’, he called him “Vince”, that’s how much respect he has for him and he never once has complained about being hated by Vinnie, that was just his brother
I think it was in 2017 or 2018 when I went to my first metal show. It was my first Band Crush Arch Enemy, and I was super hyped for them. But they had 3 support bands, of which I knew non. Two of them turnend out to be awesome, Jinjer and Wintersun.
The third band however (which I don´t remember the name of) was a bit odd. I cannot remember their style, but one of the guitarrists jumped around on the stage like a tornado the whole set, until about 20 minutes in. At that point he twisted to much, he fell over right into the drumms, and kicking down half the drummset. Forcing him to rebuild the drumset midsong, nobody caring to assit him. When he was done he finished the set not moving away from his designated position.
It was hillarious
It's like Jared doesn't age. The guy's a fucking vampire, I swear to god
7:05 this is where you break out your poster board labeled society and you projectile vomit Jack Daniels onto it while you're dressed like Phil Anselmo but the version of Phil that goes trick or treating dressed up like Phil ansELMO... THAT'S A MUPPETS PUN. I'LL JUST LEAVE THAT HERE
11:25 puke and rally ladies and gentlemen, puke and rally. TCOB, figure it out get her done, kick the tires and light the fires, Man the missonboom...full sails ahead, captain Ron's gotcha in his busty bossom...
How about this one: A noise band punching their out of tune guitar strings alongside a guy destroying his vocal chords and incoherent drum beats. During their set the vocalist dropkicked a girl in the front row and threw the micstand at another band
By the way, Dickie is fuckin hilarious. He's like the Stavros Halkias of youtube metal content
Went to Fallout boy when I was in High school. Cobra Starship and Paul Wall opened for them.
Paul wall is on stage, and he goes all the way to the verrrrrry edge of the stage, puts his mic out to the crowd, and screams, “HOLLA IF YOU AINT GOT STDS!!!”
Lol fucking what?
Everyone in the stadium did a collective, “huh?”
It didn’t get any better after that.
The dormant junkie in Phil Anselmo conjured that wine excuse.
I remember listening to Blink-182s live album the mark tom and Travis show and they joked that they were going to comeback out and the shows not over, it’s funny as hell as they are so self aware how cringe it is.
3:24 ghost is INSANELY guilty for this lol
That’s fkn hilarious cuz it’s so true lol
21:53 Just looks up spicy video, but specifically getting pounded at 175 bpm
In '89 I saw the Cure, they VERY RELUCTANTLY played FIVE encoures!
the chug sounds were insane hahaha
I went to a show and the lead singer/bassist jumped to hit the first chord but slammed his head on the ceiling and knocked himself out, it was actually pretty scary.
I went to see Coheed and Cambria for the first time, and one of the openers was Glassjaw. The guitarist was in a thick puffy jacket, looking like he lost a bet (it was an indoor venue), and the only crowd interaction was the singer yelling "get that fuckin camera outta my face." Just awful performance, and the other two openers before them blew me away. Shoutout to Silver Snakes and I the Mighty!
On the second one, without the crowd there would be no band. The band exists because the fans exist.
Shoutout welcome to rockville 2021 when the lady peed on a guy on stage, and Blue Ridge Rockfest 2023 (the whole thing counts) for being my most cringe show experiences ever
Austin u cause me painful laughter lmao
that squid hat guy story fucking KILLED me
A 5FDP concert at the illinois state fair( please dont kill me i was there to see nonpoint), they fucking didna surprise recruitment ceremony for some guy going into the air force. They legit pulled him up on stage and an airforce recruiter came out of nowhere and swore him 😂. That was peak cringe for me
I was gonna say 5FDP show is cringe in itself until i read you were there for nonpoint😂
@dreck250 all that remains was there too and they fucking killed it. I have to admit death punch wasn't as bad as I thought they were gonna be, they played a lot of their shit from the first album and the lead singer was finally sober lol, still don't talk about it much though cuz, ya know
@@alexryherd9810 well thats not as bad then ive seen some bad live videos from them all that remains makes up for it forsure though🤘
3:35 Avenged sevenfold were the only ones to ever do it properly back in 09 and its still the best and only one that's not cringe!
Literally just happened last weekend. My husband's band agreed to give this band a shot opening for them without much info.... they were all adults mind you, not children.... 2 guitarists and a drummer. Not only completely out of sync the whole time (couldn't even do a green day cover....) one guitarist kept trying to solo.... had no concept of scales or key and at least half the notes didn't even ring out, and the other guitarist had some nice jackson with one of those trems on it that you tune from the bridge... he was severely out of tune, using a phone app and trying to tune it with the tuning pegs on the headstock. When that didn't work to make him sound better he just cranked the mids on the amp. Which btw they were 30 min late, only brought their guitars and had to borrow gear, and then left (with all the friends they promised to bring) when they finished.
25:54 I have seen Austin react to some WILD comments before but this seemed to genuinely break his brain
This is more on an audience pet peeve. When people start clapping unsolicited. Especially when it’s a quiet song. First of all YOU’RE CLAPPING ON THE WRONG BEAT AND SECONDLY YOUR TEMPO SUCKS! Ugh! So annoying 😤
7:38 Dickies just like yeah, imagine if you were that guy, party like a rockstar as he should and then he goes on stage and apparently you know everybody's got a problem with him so he jumps at the guitarist even though he's got you know pretty much a body like me, like exactly like me and like let's just say he wore the same clothes I do, had the same earrings, pretty much walked exactly like me and talked the same as I do, did the same kind of vocals, you know yeah that would be nuts to leave that guy passed out on the floor, you know not like he wasn't living as best life like you told me to I mean told him to... Like you told him, not me that wasn't, they couldn't have been me because I don't get beat up, so yeah, I don't know though maybe stop judging the guy for trying to live like a rockstar and land a flying bicycle kick for once. You don't know how awesome it looked in my eye-HIS EYES. HE PROBABLY THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE EPIC AND YOU KNOW HIS FEELINGS MIGHT BE A LITTLE HURT BECAUSE EVERYBODY LEFT THEM ON THE GROUND AND NOW I'VE GOT SUNBURNS I MEAN HE'S GOT SUNBURNS AND YOU KNOW HE SAID HE WAS PEELING. HE COULD HAVE GOT CANCER FROM LIKE THE SUN SUPER COOKING HIS ALCOHOL MOLECULES TO A POINT OF HYPERACTIVE FISION AND MICROWAVED HIM FROM THE INSIDE OUT, I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU BUT I WOULD FEEL THAT... LEAVING ME ON THE STAGE, HIM ON THE STAGE GODDAMN IT OKAY YOU GOT ME. I KICKED MY DRUMMER BUT I MEAN OBVIOUSLY YOU GUYS ALL SAW THAT I LEARNED MY LESSON OKAY? I GET IT, DON'T KICK YOUR DRUMMER AND THE SUN WILL BURN YOUR ASS QUICKER THAN A CHICKEN NUGGET IN A DEEP FRYER. OKAY IS THAT GOOD ENOUGH? CAN WE MOVE ON FOR THE LOVE OF GOD
My chuggy boy Dickey always brings fun
