Lunchtime Poll: Punish The Guilty

5/9/07, 3:09 pm EST

Amy Winehouse

Last night we attended the Amy Winehouse show at the Highline Ballroom in New York’s meatpacking district. Amy wowed us but the show made us cranky due to maladjusted earpiece-wearing mobster bouncers who kept ushering us from one area in from which we couldn’t see to another … and then there were all the loud, loutish fans. We blame them all for our hangover, which is a direct byproduct of the amount of vodka we had to consume to survive this show. What, in your opinion, is the most offensive show going faux pas and what punishment should be delivered upon those who commit it?

People that push up to get a great spot and then stand there with their arms crossed. No one’s too cool for rocknroll. If you’re not as excited as the people around you, you need to move it back a few rows. Maybe just go wait in the car?

people that will slip into the 1.5 inch space named personal at a standing concert.

Punishment: Excessive hot breath on their neck…and a near fight depending on how much alcohol has been consumed.

annoyance: crowd surfers.
punishment: parting the sea.

sings are annoying…like to an extreme…punishment- listening to every mariah carey cd in a row…AKA a fate worse than death

i was at a dmb concert and these drunk frat guys who were next to us kept dancing and singing really loudly and shouting out what songs they should play next. that was annoying. but then agian its a dave matthews band concert- people getting wasted is kind of a given.

I DESPISE IT WHEN PEOPLE RUN INTO YOU AND SPILL BEER ALL OVER YOUR SHIRT BECAUSE THEY ARE SO WASTED THEY WILL NOT REMEMBER THE CONCERT.

PUNISHMENT: MY FOOT IN THIER AZZ!

Stop Driving Cars, stop farting! Ride your 15 speed (with your sandals on) to work.

Band together to save Mother Earth.

I hate when I’m at a concert and mean people yell at me, and tell me to get off of my chair. I’m usually holding up a sign that says “I like to smell stuff on the street”.

Two things that piss me off…

1. People who bring signs to the concert. Put your sign down! The band can’t read it. And if they can read the sign, it is not as clever as you think. Punishment: Sharpee mustache.

2. People who scream so loud during a concert that it makes paint peel. It hurts my ears and makes puppies cry. Just stop it! Punishment: Laryngitis and herpes.

excessive crowd surfing is pretty bad… when you’re getting kicked in the head every 30 seconds it’s a little tough to enjoy the show.

Ass Kickers | 5/10/2007, 8:28 am EST

wearing the shirt of the band you’re going to see.

Rod | 5/9/2007, 9:17 pm EST

People who stand up and dance in arena or auditorium seating - as if the people in the next three rows back don’t also want to see the show.

That, and bands who don’t talk to the audience.

Throwing beer cans of urine is pretty bad. But also quite funny.

the muffin man | 5/9/2007, 7:26 pm EST

ppl who expect a “sopt” in standing room cos they got their early. if you dont wanna touch other ppl and move about get seats tickets.

Bill | 5/9/2007, 7:02 pm EST

Why do you delete posts that you dont agree with?

censorship is a dirty word

jill hives | 5/9/2007, 5:03 pm EST

the fact is you can do whatever the hell you want, except jump onstage and shoot the guitarist.
that may get you in trouble.

Jim | 5/9/2007, 4:15 pm EST

People on their cellphones talking through the concert!!
People with laser pointers-idiots!
People shouting requests between every song
Idiots

james | 5/9/2007, 4:12 pm EST

id hafta agree w/ ishy too. the most annoying thing a concert goer can do is not enjoy the show or talk shit about it or the experience. why does rolling stone have so many writers that hate music?

You get there early, get a good spot…only to have someone who got there late (and is about 7′ tall) weasel their way into the crowd and stand directly in front of you. If you want a good spot, get there for the opener!

blah | 5/9/2007, 3:36 pm EST

agree with ishy. i saw the kooks last night, and i’m also not a fan of girls jumping around with unkempt hair that hits you in the face.

me | 5/9/2007, 3:26 pm EST

hahaha agreed…i hate amy winehouse, but am sure there are plenty of people who would happily trade your hangover for the experience

ishy | 5/9/2007, 3:16 pm EST

Using ‘the royal we’ is pretty annoying–at rock shows or just in blogs. Griping about the shows you go to (for free) is also kinda annoying. Finally, blaming your drunkeness and impending hangover on the annoying behavior of others is, definitely, really annoying.
