Top Ten People You Meet at a Metal Concert

The most annoying concert visitor of all time! He only wears stuff from "trve" bands, and every other band that has more than 12 Twitter followers is deemed, "WAIT! THAT'S SO UNTRVE! Trve bands don't use Twitter! All demos MUST sound terrible! Every band with more than 3 fans is a SELL OUT!"

I'm sorry, my evil second "Elitist-Me" was typing that.

I hate them. According to them, the only good metal band is Black Sabbath, and only for the first album. All the others are "mainstream."

This is me. My friends and I yell "SLAAAYYER" at every show. It's basically metal's version of "Free Bird."

I'm a Slayer fan too, but I don't do this. I find it quite annoying. If you want to hear a Slayer song, what are you doing at a death metal show? Stay home and listen to Slayer.

His or her first show. Be nice to them. Do you remember how awesome it was to go to your first concert?

He met all members of Led Zeppelin and was at every show from the classic metal bands. With his knowledge, you could write a whole book.

..and he might say that the bands were all better when he was younger.

"When I was younger, my dear friend Bruce Dickinson and I used to spend a lot of time together. Moreover, I organized some of the concerts of those young musicians like Metallica, Slayer, and Megadeth. I'm also Rob Halford's best friend, you know?"

I've seen that, but it has also happened at rock concerts that are not metal, and even at baseball matches.

In every concert, there's always at least one drunk who ruins it for everybody.

I've seen people throw up, and I've had beer spilled on me. The stoners are so much better.

He learned his moves at a secret metal karate school. He will hurt you if you mosh near him... Be careful!

Oh... They might hate metal, or worse... THEY LOVE IT!
Why is that worse, you ask me?
Imagine your mom yells, "SLAYER!" at a black metal concert, and everyone gives her looks. While she's screaming, your father is stage diving... "Great show."

Rare, but if she's there, she loves the band just like you. Or she hates metal and is asking herself why she agreed to go to a thrash metal show.

This is what you see most of the time.

Really? Hmm, I'm sure they forgot the route. But then, it's easy to know where you're heading. You can hear it miles away.

The Pop Fan: "How are they called?"
You: "Obscura."
The Pop Fan: "They sound terrible!"
You: "...Do you even kn... just listen carefully!"

If he listens to brutal death metal, he says, "Oh my God, what's this satanic Metallica stuff?"

It may seem weird, but some people (metalheads too) go to certain concerts only to hate on the bands that are performing. Sad but true.
