EVERY BAND HAS IDIOT FANS.
EVERY CONCERT HAS IDIOT FANS.
EVERY CITY HAS IDIOT FANS.

THE WORLD KEEPS TURNING. :wink:
So true.  I've met lots of assholes at Melvins shows.  There are probably even assholes at Sheryl Crow shows.  Not every band has the SAME AMOUNT of dipshit fans though, and it seems that Down has an extremely high percentage.

Exactly.   :cheers:

I'm not pissed at all.  I know I'm right, and I'm good with that.  There's people on here I can take seriously, and there's people I can't.  Bigfil is someone who's posts mean very little to me.  End of story.

Unless of course he's someone's alter-ego, like our friend Juan......then it's the attitude that means very little to me.

You could be on to something.  I've only attended the one festival overseas, and over three days, I don't think I saw an arguement, much less a fight. 

I can only remember two shows in the states that I've seen fights at.  White Zombie and Down.  I think it has a lot to do with the fanbase.  Granted some people come to shows so fucked up that all they do is look for a fight, and that can happen almost anywhere, but I believe the fanbase is the major reason.

from what i've heard from americans, the european crowd is definitely milder, but the atp crowd is a group of music fans, same thing at roadburn, even if it's five days you won't see a fight there. it's different though at shows where people don't necessarily go for the music, but rather for entertainment/drinking purposes and then they don't know how to behave.

i was at a gwar show a few weeks ago and there were a lot of drunk morons. gwar is the one exception that i'd go see pure for fun, they simply put on a hell of a show and you'll get entertained big time. like monotonix, but different ;)

one band that always has fights at their shows that i've seen is High On Fire.
slow and low, that is the tempo

Word up on Gwar.  They've never been exactly musical powerhouses, but their live shows are something not to be missed.  Spike TV take notice -- they'd be just about the perfect house band for any show you put on.

As for fights, G, spunk and I used to hit a lot of scary little clubs in and around Detroit when a) we were too young to be doing so and b) the skinhead thing was in full effect.  Take Detroit and skinheads and you can see where this leads.  I've seen plenty of fights and shoving matches at shows over the years, but rarely did they get out of control, despite the overly hostile environment.  Granted, I was like 16 for most of them, so I'm sure I was given a free pass, but I never saw any brutal violence or anything... which is surprising when you mix the murder capital of the US with a counter culture built on hatred (jesus, what was my mom thinking, letting me go??).

The only fight I've been in since 5th grade happened to be at a Primus concert of all things.  I know many have stated it here multiple times, but there are idiots at every show.  I'll bet if I was a large enough meathead, I could get punched watching Paul Anka play.

yea i don't know if their shows are just like that in the Bay Area or what, it never really bothers me, i just ignore the assholes and have a good time, but then again no one's ever really bumped into me too hard or tried to start shit like you mentioned happened to you at this Down show.

I've been to five High on Fire shows and have never seen a fight.

spunkmonkey

I've never seen a fight at a HOF show.  But yeah, what Danny said.  I've seen my fair share of fights at shows, but nothing too out of control.  The craziest show was the Quicksand, Helmet, Rage Against the Machine show back in the day.  The first note that Rage played sent the crowd into a frenzy.  Fists and beers flying, but it calmed down (a little) after that first song.
