It's from this terrifying commercial that they played every 5 minutes during the NBA finals.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLmP73eAHB8

What film is the screenshot from?

>some dude just whips his dick out and takes a piss while looking into my eyes, security staring at him, dont do shit

Fucking lel.

>>48476299

>go see of montreal
>Kevin Barnes sings St Exquisite's Confessions as he strips
>im gay now

>>48476249

>>48476457

Another shitty day here.

>some dude with japanese letters tatooed on his forehead
>at least half the crowd is under 15 years old
>figure out about 10 minutes in that Lean's live show just consists of taking laid back joints like Hurt, cranking the bass and yelling over them, completely obscuring the melody
>hit a joint

>super paranoid
>split from my bros by moshers
>literally thought my ribs were broken because some 300 pound neckbeard rammed into me
>find myself stuck in a crush against the front gate
>remembering hillsborough disaster, the 96, man I love liverpool
>seriously surprised I didn't start screaming like a bitch, just pissed everyone off by putting my elbows out so people would back the fuck off
>wasn't sure if I was being pushed around by everyone else or if I was just swinging around like a retard
>everyone staring at me and security coming and telling me to take it easy makes me lean more towards the latter
>went home and cried while my bros went downtown and got drunk at the afterparty

>moshers

Scum of the earth. I'm so happy when I go to a show and the band tells them to go fuck themselves.

ITT: No one on /mu/ has ever actually gone to see live music

>go to local show

>friend comes out
>agree we want to leave
>discover our ride has already left
>buy and split a single PBR as we sit on the curb in silence

>>48476593
you deserve everything bad that happened to you for supporting an all style no substance tumblr rapper like yung lean

>>48476694
what?
if you're seeing aggressive music moshing makes sense
if you're seeing something laid back, yea, those people are out of line, but if you go to an rock concert and get made at people moshing you need to lighten up

>>48476837
It's ridiculous and dangerous. I don't go to a show to get an elbow in the face from some fat fuck.

>>48476249
>>go see Danny Brown at 6, get really high, great show
sorry I thought you meant 6 years old
though you'd have to be that young to enjoy danny brown

>>48476884
it's not dangerous at all if you know what you're doing
people take care of each other in moshpits
i rarely see people get hurt or fights break out at shows with moshpits
if you don't want to participate, that's very understandable, you should just stand far away from the stage and let the people who wanna mosh and stage dive have their fun

>>48476921
HAHAHA HOLY SHIT! HOLY FUCKING SHIT YOU JUST FUCKING OWNED OP. JESSU I CANT STOP LAUGHING AT HOW FUNNY YOU ARE. FUCK. CHRIST. BLESS YOUR HEART FOR BEING SO FUCKING CLEVER.

local band foot patrol
they're a great funk band, lead vocalist/keyboardist is a blind dude who sings about his various fetishes (hence the band name)
one time they did this improvised song about peeing on Celine Dion and some dude whipped out his dick and started pissing on me

went and saw king fantastic. front row. passing a joint with some m8s.

bonfire sessions comes on. about halfway through the song he walks up to the end of the stage and my m8 instictively hands him the joint.

he stops rapping for almost the entire track to bogart the entire fucking joint, leaving me with barely 2 hits.

the crowd is halfway betweem super annoyed and "wooo 420 blaze it faggot"

that's about it.

>>48476966
That's the problem. I try to avoid it but I always seem to get slammed. And if you go to the sides you end up getting crushed as everyone spreads out to make the circle.

>>48476593

>some dude with japanese letters tatooed on his forehead

are you actually serious aha what a prat

>>48476752
>PBR
That alone would make that a shitty night.

>>48476752
another

>go to really kickass garage rock show
>find out a lot of my friends are there
>end up hanging out with large group of people and talking to a chick
>she follows me around like a puppy for the rest of the show
>kickass music and girl trying to dance with me, everything is great
>everyone goes back to a guy's place to hang out afterwards
>sitting next to the chick and having a great time
>everyone leaves, start walking with her
>she lives close by but says she's sick and just wants to go to bed
>she leaves
>alone without a ride on the wrong side of town at like 3:00 am
>walk home
>she gets diagnosed with mono the next day
>find out she was the host's ex and we were really bumming him out
>find out several months later that the guy's best friend who I had hardly spoken to had been spreading weird rumors about me because of that night
>amazing show turned awful night
>there are still people in the local scene who won't talk to me
>didn't even get laid

>>48477212
It was all they had at the show and it was like $4 a can
it was one of -those- shows

>>48476593
>expected Arizona cans
do people just use them for alcohol? or do kids actually drink that shit?

>>48477268
they drink that shit
this is no exaggeration, 15 year old kids wear bucket hats and drink arizona because of yung lean

>>48477045
then just lighten up and mosh
it's not that scary
what type of shows do you typically go to?
if these shows aren't in a basement and are at a bar, i'm amazed there's no where for you to sit down

>>48477268
I drank Arizona before I ever heard of Yung Lean, thank you very much. I have terrible taste.

ah, let me tell you about the worst three hours of my life

>go to some local metalcore gig as a skinny pale underage semi-scenester with my friends at about age 15
>the rest of the crowd is also skinny pale and underage, at various degrees of scenester
>first band comes on and the entire crowd is flinging fists around and rolling about on the floor like idiots
>the band are also doing this
>i'm sitting at a table watching a bunch of floppy-haired teens who weigh 100lbs soaking wet throwing punches and kicks but also being careful not to hit each other
>occasionally one would crash into another and they'd both fall and one would apologise
>everyone looked like dying spiders doing their "hardcore dancing"
>most of the time the vocalist would just disappear into the crowd
>half the time the guy would hold out the mic expecting someone to be able to scream the lyrics back but no one knew who they were
>not a single band had a drummer who could double-kick, but every band insisted on minute-long segments of painfully off-time double kicking
>there were 34 people there, 15 of whom were band members. i counted
>also one of the bands was just one guy inhale growling (bree bree) over MIDI instrumentals
>some guy got his stretched ear ripped and the crowd parted like the red sea to let him get to the exit

>>48477268
arizona is delicious

If you're not in high school then the people in your area sound like a bunch of immature idiots.

i know someone who saw badbadnotgood on ket last month and ended up getting pepper sprayed by police, arrested, and sent to the ER, then got charged for the hospital bill. the united states really loves to fuck over its citizens.

I haven't played a gig since, and the band broke up.

>>48480507
What the fuck were you playing? Where the fuck where you playing?

>>48480674
Nothing really special, we only played kinda basic rock stuff that kinda sounded like RHCP at times. And it was at this little theatre in the shitty end of town. We were the last band playing in the night, so most of the crowd were pretty drunk. I got the apparent story later, apparently some guy knocked into another guy in the crowd rush, that knocked the guy's drink out of his hand, the guy got mad, punched the other guy in the face. His friends went to fight back, so the other guy's friends went and got into a fight with them, and then while some of the crowd went to escape, the starting fight just got more and more people involved until maybe half the crowd was involved, and the other half had left.
I really miss my keyboard.

>>48476457

sandwiched in between the mosh pit and the wheel chair guy
can't see shit because i'm shorter than everyone else
was wearing a skirt and kept getting groped by gross old men
some weird looking blonde guy wearing an electric wizard shirt tried to buy me a drink
had to leave half way through set because of ride arrangements
total shit

>>48481416
It was a pretty strange experience.
I didn't see him at the show at all later in the night, so I'm not sure if he returned or anything, or just kept running.

She was very pale and very skinny and had bangs but so did pretty much every other girl there.I thought she had short hair but my more sober friend said she had her hair up. Her last name is Jensen and her first was something that might be Chelsea. She was a teacher and we flirted about if I was her student and shit. She was looking for her friends and I dont even remember her leaving. My friend started singing "The One Who Got Away" by Katy Perry and then all I remember is saying sorry a bunch during Kendrick because I bumped into people.
After the show, in the surrounding streets I remember yelling ADHD and some said fuck that but then I remember sprinting out of line at a convience store to pee but then asked my friend why we were out of line.

I am seriously having major depression since Pitchfork ended. I hate normal life.

this is prolly the molly. It makes you depressed for a few days after taking it, as it fucks with your seratonin. If you're on an SSRI it can actually really fuck with you.

>>48488685
man, fuck old dude punk shows

>>48491282
A buddy of mine was telling me about serotonin syndrome when we went to a show together, while we picked up a dub from his guy, as he was on antidepressants at the time, so he didn't take molly, lucy or dimitri. That shit can wreck you.

BUT here's a few INSANE show experiences


first one's a long one
>last October
>still bitter about shit-ass Daughters experience
>Thee Oh Sees are my favorite band of all time
>have only played near me once, couldn't go because I was like 14 and my parents didn't want me going to a warehouse show
>live in RI, for some reason John Dwyer never tours in his home state
>they announce show at 285 Kent
>jokingly ask my dad (I was 17 at the time) while he's taking a shit if we can drive to Brooklyn to see them
>he says yes
>"ohmygodholyshit"
>drive to NYC a day early cuz I've never been
>I want to go experience the city, dad just wants to stick around Times Square and do tourist shit
>still awesome because fucking New York
>go to show nice and early so I can get right up front
>see JD smoking a cig outside, too sperg to say anything
>show starts, OBN IIIs
>fucking awesome, singer is an animal, slaps me, playfully punches me in the jaw, accidentally kicks me in the head while jumping off stage
>apologizes for the kick after set, shake the hand he shot a snot rocket into mid-set
>The Blind Shake come on, thank me after for absolutely losing my shit during their set
>Thee Oh Sees come on
>"HOLY FUCK"
>going absolutely apeshit
>I've never been pressed so hard against a stage in my life
>halfway through the set John Dwyer offers me a swig of Jameson
>have to decline because I'm there with my dad but holy shit I still feel so fucking cool
>show ends, get back in car, dad is pissed cuz he wanted to leave at like 12 but I wouldn't (and couldn't, to be honest) leave
>don't give a fuck, can't hear him anyway because it was so fucking loud

then when I got home, I found out the audio of the show was recorded, so I have it forever. Best show I've ever seen.

about a month later... (to be continued)

>>48491438

>we all go back to this guy's car to smoke, silently excite as fuck
>sitting packed into the back of this guy's car right up against my favorite fucking rapper
>ask him about the feature on hidden track, think it's DJ DOG DICK but unsure
>he lights up, really impressed and psyched that I knew DOG DICK, start talking hip hop with Wiki
>pass him my friend's bowl, tell him to hit my boy's bud

birlfriend?

Another fun show was going to this variety show that had a bunch of internet celebrities(music, stand-up comedy, motivational speeches, weird artsy shit) at The Vera Project in Seattle with my qt 3.14 gf at the time. was one of the few people who wasn't a squeeing underage fangirl who spends a wee bit too much time on tumblr. Shared a smoke with one of the performers, Tom Milsom, even got a picture taken with him, and talked art and music. I also found out one of my favorite bands at the time(Minus The Bear when the singer looked like a manlet Jesus) dig a lot of gigging and art work there. Still dig some of the art pop/experimental shit that Tom does, the Explorers eps are actually pretty solid.

I'm curious, what's the calmest show you guys have seen a moshpit at?
Some folks were moshing to The Dismemberment Plan in Spain.

>>48492174
Arctic Monkeys on The AM Tour. People just started moshing during No. 1 Party Anthem which was the weirdest song to start moshing to.

>>48491198
>wheelchair guy

Based on your guys' stories, I wouldn't be surprised if they were some cunts feigning injury/disability so they could wheel themselves to the front.

>laneway music festival 2013
>watching UMO with gf
>blaze it
>her feet on my feet
>high as fuck can't even feel my feet anymore
>So good at being in trouble playing

Best day of my life.

>>48492370
nah the guy at Dino Jr was missing a leg

but the venue has raised platforms in the back, with tables and chairs n shit. I'm not sure why he felt the need to be up front when he could have seen from back there. It's just fucking inconsiderate, since once the crowd starts shifting, you become a literal goddamn wall

>>48492649
that's nothing, man
last concert i went to was a scene music festival in Vegas in 2011

>at small concert
>a lot of girls with their boyfriends there
>don't really pay much attention to anyone else, just watching music
>get bumped into from behind
>look behind me
>guy holding up his girlfriend and fucking her right there
It was a pretty strange experience, because I just turned back and watched the show while these two people were fucking right behind me. She had a nice bum.

thats why you never fucking have your drinks with you in the crowd. people drop that shit all the time and i dont want cheap beer on my fucking nice shoes

I went to see The Antlers, but ticketmaster didn't say it was a 21+ show (I'm 18, gf is 20)
We got there and since they were carding everyone, we figured we'd just tell then what happened, hoping they'd let us stand in the back or something. They were super cool about it and said we could watch from outside, where there were some slightly tinted windows and since stage was right by the sidewalk, you could hear everything perfectly, so it wasn't a waste of money or anything.
While waiting outside for show to start, manager walks by and asks why we aren't in there, so we tell him the same story. He tells us to wait there.
We're so excited and thinking he is going to get us in!
10 minutes pass... he isn't coming back...
then, suddenly, out walks Pete and Darby from the back door.
"We heard you guys couldn't get into our show. That really sucks. So we wanted to come out and say hi!"

Happiest moment of my life.

shitty. They were just a bunch of hipsters playing mediocre black metal,it was honestly awful. All their fans were hipster themselves..I think the only reason they liked them because they were out of place in their genre.

Interpol kick-off show Toad's Place

>Get there around 8, nobody there
>grabbed a bev, waited around for Teen to come on.
>Teen was disappointing, but the crowd was kind of into them so it made it better.
>By the time Teen ended, I was about two rows back from the stage gates.
>Hot af in Toad's because apparently one oscillating fan pointed at the ground isn't enough for hundreds of people.
>Chilling next to this one dude who looked like he's still in high school, but he looked like he really enjoyed Interpol since he was all the way up front, and alone.
>I was also up front and alone but w/e shit happens.
>Interpol comes out, place goes batshit motherfucking crazy. No idea there were so many Interpol fans in CT.
>Turns out there aren't.
>They punch off 'Evil' and toward the end of the song some fucking bro uses his girth to plow through me to get up to the front. Doesn't even blink.
>Simultaneously, two dadrock dads are abt three rows behind me getting into a fist fight over what I could assume to be who looked more like a fucking hick.
>Simultaneously some rich, drunk, high school-looking skank starts running into me from behind asking to get to her friends in front of me.
>lol'd and said fuck off
>Bitch starts smacking me in the back of the head. Assumed one of her boyfriends was going to plow my face in within minutes for not letting her through.
>Group of high schoolers was probably about 6 or 7 kids wide, and all of them, at one point or another, took out a blunt to hit.
>Douche-y looking high school guys try to start fights with other guys who are there with another girl, or just blatantly having a good time.
>Security does nothing because why do the job yr supposed to do
>I've been to shows all around NYC and never have I felt more unsafe at a show. Debated on leaving around the fourth song.
>Interpol was pretty sick tho.
