CyberHippie Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 I really don't understand the impulse to throw shit at a band while they are performing... What drives people to do this?I can think of lots of Phish shows where I've seen dudes whipping glowsticks with all their mite, at the band. Why would you want to hit the band members with shit, that you paid good money to see perform?Damn kids! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 Only once have I had the urge to throw something at a band... and the object would have been my right hand.It was the lead singer for the Toronto " punk " band The Chickens on Rememberance Day four years ago when they opened for The International Noise Conspiracy @ The Reverb. The Chickens singer ranted about WWI and WWII and Canada's involvement and that poppies were a symbol of pro-war and anyone who wore one was pro-war.He was booed, but that wasn't enough. Ironically, the Swedish communist activist and anti-war punkers The International Noise Conspiracy praised Canada that night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deranger Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 What about the chucking of glowsticks in the audience? How that is supposed to enhance a show is beyond me. I wish a was a ragaholic on steroids so could beat the living crap out of the next skinny little dipshit who figures whipping glowsticks up in the air, in front or behind him is cool. Or shake the little bitch who gathers 20 of them to chuck them behind her, wacking people in the face. fucking hippies with non-existent attention spans.

MarcO Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 my point about venue's was not supporting the throwing of crap....just a point about his fans and his music.he should book higher class venue's...it would work better for him.but I believe this incident happened at the Warfield in San Francisco, which is a beautiful historic 2400 seat theatre, akin to Hamilton Place or Shea's.

ollie Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 Joe Jackson got hit in the head with a loaded hotdog when he opened for The Who in Toronto 1982.I am trying to imagine just what might be inside a loaded hotdog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The band I was in at the time, The Liquid Gooey, played downstairs at the Kathedral the same night the INC played the Reverb in 2001. The bass player from one of the opening bands made some awful 9/11 related comments for which he was booed. It was only 2 months since the event and people were still pretty sore, I guess. He said something to the effect that the U.S. deserved what they got, because they were a big bully. Anyway it's funny that those two things were on the same night, in the same building.

The singer's comments didn't help anyone warm to The Chickens' set... and The Chickens were a fill-in band for The Hives who couldn't make the gig.

AdamH Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 I've never grasped the notion of "I love this band, let's throw stuff at them!" ever since I saw idiots whipping shoes at Green Day during Edgefest II. And I was just a wee stoned tyke then. I'd like to think people were just reacting to the atrocious song, but that doesn't excuse it. Sometimes I think "hippies" as they exist at Phish concerts, Slip shows, jambands shows in general, are further from their image than almost any other concert fan.

gentlemonkey Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 I also cant stand seeing people throw shit. Anything that disrupts the show for everyone needs to be dealt with- diligent vigilante style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freak By Night Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 I would never throw things at a concert. I caught a frisbee in the head at a Rush show back in the 80s. It really hurt. It was a high-quality frisbee too, so I kept it. As far as Nickelback goes, I wouldn't go to their show, but if I did I wouldn't throw anything. I did see them at Zaphod's in 1999 along with maybe 30 other people, but that was before it was cool to hate them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phorbesie Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 i got a nasty black eye at a chili peppers concert...still not sure what was thrown, i think it was a boot. even so, i like the way the glowsticks look when you are at the back of the lawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cully Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 It turns out that it wasn't the guy in the hat...it was some wasted girl near the stage (Trey was busy playing and didn't see who threw it!!) Trey later appologized to the guy in the hat...but man that must of ruined his show!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
