Exactly 1 week from now I'm going to see Swans live.
Anything I should know aside from earplugs and not to piss Gira off?
What a waste of time
dont bring earplugs
just stand where you're comfortable
Step on gira's fingers
Don't mosh he doesn't like that. If you buy enough records from the merch table he might come up to you and chat with you a bit during the openers, it happened to me.

Shit, didn't know about the moshing thing. I'm not really a fan of it but always good to know what the guy's boundaries are.
Shit, that'd be fucking awesome. I'm definitely gonna get some shit there but talking to Gira in person would be amazing.

Yeah crowd was getting pretty into it when he stopped performing and told them to stop "because that shits been stupid since 1983". Overall he's a really cool and friendly guy. He signed all the records I bought and I bought him a coke.

He sounds a lot less volatile than some people make him out to be, looks like I just need to make sure not to do any stupid shit he doesn't like and I'll make it out without being beaten up.
Thanks for the tips man, really appreciate it.

they all look like rapists taking a final photo from the woods before killing themselves

I saw them live a couple of weeks ago, the crowd was pretty into it and it was overall way less stressful than I thought it would be. I mean, it's still loud as fuck but as long as you have earplugs it's a pretty comfy ride.
last time I went Gira just dropped his pants and recited an hour long poem about rape while the rest of the members played pokemon go! around the stage you never know what to expect from these guys are crazy mane
1. Don't stage-dive, stage-rush or stage-anything.
2. Don't make any loud noises or sudden movements.
3. Don't request 'Flex You're Muscles', 'Be Strong Be Hard' or 'Freebird'.
4. Don't run with scissors. You'll cut yourself, silly.
5. Don't get between Gira and the rest of the band, his protective instincts will kick in and you'll be mauled.
6. Don't wear a Devo jumpsuit and pogo dance. It's just not worth it.
7. Don't recite 'Larkin Grimm' three times in front of a mirror at midnight.
8. Don't.
the last time I went Gira broke a guy's neck because he sneezed during the performance
