My Top 10 Pet Peeves At Shows (in no particular order)

**Not targeted at anyone in particular, just people in general.**

1. when friends don't support their friends' bands (that are good) by going to their shows but instead they support the bands that aren't good by going to their shows, and the friends who are just putting on shows...why can't they support all their friends?

2. when people leave after their friends' band plays.

3. when people go outside during bands they haven't heard of.

4. when people sneak in with out paying...it's usually $5..not a lot..it's $5 that you would obviously rather spend on getting drunk or high.

5. when people talk during acoustic bands (except at open mic nights).

6. when band members leave after they play- it's disrespectful, you should support the bands you're playing with even if you think they are bad.

7. when music industry majors like bands but are sick of going to shows...it doesn't make sense...get used to it..it's going to be your job one day. (and again it's 5 fucking dollars)

8. when sound guys (or girls) don't care about doing their job to the best of their ability. It shouldn't matter how big or small the show is or if you're getting paid or not. IT'S YOUR FUCKING JOB AS THE SOUND CREW!

9. when the sound crew doesn't tape down the chords...that's part of your job too.

10. when the unnecessary lights are shinning into the crowds eyes.
