Crowds that sing along at gigs

haha just saw the thread and was going to bang on about singing at Carter gigs but my job here is done

Went to Portishead's first gig in Bristol for years last year, and place was rammed, everyone kinda stood there in awe or whatever, but there was one hugely drunken twat who insisted on singing along. Badly. Every single person around him told him to shut the fuck up at one point or another, and he did for a bit, then forgot and started again. Thing was, place was so rammed that you couldn't move away from him.

Grrrr.

Otherwise, yeah, whatever. But then again, most of the gigs i go to, you can't even hear yourself sing along, let alone anyone else.

as has been side, it depends. It can be moving (rarely) or irritating (mostly). But on the whole i tend to avoid the kind of troglodyte bands made for the whole singalong thing anyway (i'm looking at you, Oasis, you clueless shits)

Pretty much my thoughts on the matter.

Like those annoying drunkards on the Portishead live in New York album.

Time & place people. Time & place.

You were at an Oasis gig. You had no dignity. You could have stayed at home and fucked your dog on the front lawn and retained more dignity points.

Completely agree if I'd shelled out to see them and them alone but,in mitigation, I was at a festival and they came on right after Beck so I thought I'd give them a go...
