1. Wear the band's shirt that you are there to see, even though it's already obvious
2. Go to the merch stand, stare forever while holding back the line, then leave without buying anything
3. When a musician gives you the microphone to scream a lyric, just yell random nonsense because you don't know the lyrics
4. Be too drunk to remember lyrics… or the show afterwards
5. Sing along loudly during ballads
6. Always mosh! This is non-negotiable
7. Lose your wallet
8. Get drunk
9. Yell a song that you want to hear, even though the band already played it
10. Bring your girlfriend to the show so she can hold your coat while you mosh
11. Swing your long, sexy metal hair even if it hits other people in their faces, but make sure not to wash it before hand
12. Don't headbang unless you have long hair
13. Don't bother to wear earplugs
14. Make out with your girlfriend in front of everyone
15. Since you are a pathetic, desperate metal head, violate any female that crowd-surfs. It's not sexual assault if no one sees it!
16. Be more brutal in the pit than a poodle with a sex change
17. If you're a really tall metal head, stand in the front. The only thing that matters is that YOU get the best view
18. Take pictures of the band playing with your shitty cell phone and then post them on your MySpace
19. Record 30 seconds of a song with your phone, then post it on YouTube
20. Talk on your cell phone while a band is playing, plug one hear with your finger, and try to shout over the music
21. But then later, lose your cell phone
22. Take your shirt off to look tough in the mosh pit
23. Guys don't care if they rub against sweaty, shirtless men, as long as they're METAL HEADS
24. During a fast and epic guitar solos, raise your hand and move your fingers really fast
25. During a really brutal or epic part of a song, hold up one open, clenched palm up in the air
26. Be more brutal in the pit than a zombie three-some
27. Fart next to a smelly, fat metal head and blame it on him
28. If you're too much of a pussy to mosh, then act tough by standing at the edge of the pit and push random moshers
29. Skip like a little school girl in the circle pit
30. Throw up your booze in the mosh pit - making the ground slippery only makes the show more brutal
31. Spend more money on alcohol than merch
32. Don't show up for the opening bands - the only bands that deserve your attention are the headliners
33. You must see Iron Maiden and Children of Bodom live every time they come to your city!
34. You cannot get the full concert experience with ear plugs - save them for the opening metalcore band
35. Don't bother with deodorant - you're going to mosh too hard for it to stay on anyways
36. Push as forward as you can during the headlining band to get as close as possible
37. Close male-to-male touching isn't gay at a metal concert
38. Girls shouldn't mosh unless they're lesbian

42. If you're a girl, wear the slutiest outfit possible to the show
43. When crowd surfing, don't bother controlling your feet
44. People in the crowd don't mind getting kicked in the face
45. If you're huge and fat, don't be afraid to stage dive
46. The short, nerdy, folk metal fan will surely catch your fat ass
47. Be more brutal in the pit than The Jonas Brothers attempting gutturals
48. Anytime the vocalist announces the name of the next song, scream in excitement, even though you aren't familiar with it
49. Wear as much metal jewelry as possible
50. Metal spikes, studs, bracelets, etc. are acceptable even if they can cause serious injury and deadly impalement
51. Beat up the kid in the crowd who is wearing the As I Lay Dying shirt
52. Act tough while standing by yourself, while wearing your Trivium shirt and expensive Hot Topic pants
53. Try to sneak in the bar even if you're underage
54. Mosh for a band that isn't even fast!
55. You're too drunk anyways to be embarrassed
56. Say that your favorite band put on the best show ever, but don't go and see them again
57. Throw up the horns in between every song
58. Metal concerts are the only concerts worth attending
59. If you see someone standing around, throw them into the pit
60. Dress as metal as possible for the concert - remember, accessorizing is key
61. If you don't mosh, then you are gay
62. Tell your mom that you're going to a Green Day concert, even though you are actually seeing Cannibal Corpse
63. Force your girlfriend to go to your metal concert, but when she asks you to go to a Chevelle concert with her, make up an excuse not to go

66. Mosh for a few seconds, then stop because you are too tired to continue
67. Then smoke again
68. Don't be afraid to mosh or crowd surf while wearing combat boots

71. And do not mosh for them
72. If you're a black metal fan at a death metal show, complain about the bands not being atmospheric enough
73. If you're a death metal fan at a black metal show, complain about the bands not being brutal enough

77. Get drunk so you can't feel pain in the pit
78. Always flex during brutal parts of a song

Don't take this too seriously. I wrote it in one sitting and it's basically just me listing a bunch of stuff I hate that goes on at most concerts
parallax - 24.02.2010 at 17:07  
The thing is... so much of this is true, hahaha.
JÄY - 24.02.2010 at 17:12  
Was pretty great
Dangerboner - 24.02.2010 at 17:41  
Thanks

yeah, when I was in high school and living with my mom, she must have thought I saw Green Day like 20 times when they were really just all death metal shows

I've probably lost my wallet at least four times at a show too

"17. If you're a really tall metal head, stand in the front. The only thing that matters is that YOU get the best view."

I'm six foot tall and going to the front. If you are short you should have ate more when you were a child.

Ahhh C'mon! Some people have bad genes that's all Although I'm around 5 feet and 7-8 inches last time I checked...

Bloody Rain - 27.02.2010 at 20:47  
Wow, this is so funny because it's so true. A few more I would add is:

102. If you show up when the doors open, always rush over to the merch table and buy 3 shirts.
103. Make sure never to wear them after the concert.
104. Spend at least $40 on beer at every show.
105. Despite this, the reason why you download is because you're poor and you can never afford to buy cds.

Tall people will rule the world, ha ha (in a manic James Bond villains voice). We will make you all stand on boxes. Wah ha ha ha!
Valentin B - 02.03.2010 at 14:42  
LOL i'm pretty tall (1.85 meters) but i subscribe to rule no. 17. THERE IS ALWAYS A TALLER ASSHOLE AROUND JUST STANDING IN YOUR FACE.

Somehow I don't understand why people consider six foot tall. I am 5'9" and am a tiny little fuck in this country where the average height is 6'2"
So I guess many of the truly vertically challenged ones shouldn't go see a show in The Netherlands

Thunderdrake - 24.03.2010 at 07:30  
I'd have to second that, a lot of this is true. Most of them that I'm not guilty of I've still seen at least one other person do at each show I've gone to. Then again, that's what makes it funny.
Good job.
Daggon - 24.03.2010 at 08:22  
Being tall in my country is a blessing haha, cuz some of my friends are too short for concerts, also, many metal heads in my contry aren't very tall
Valentin B - 24.03.2010 at 10:13  
@Danger i think you forgot one essential rule: the more you get to the front-center of the stage while holding on to the railing like crazy and not letting anyone through, and the more you wait for shitty bands to play to see your favorites, the truer a fan you are.
I_Die_Often - 24.03.2010 at 12:52  
17. If you're a really tall metal head, stand in the front. The only thing that matters is that YOU get the best view
18. Take pictures of the band playing with your shitty cell phone and then post them on your MySpace

101 is the most metal and honourable thing to do
Dangerboner - 29.03.2010 at 10:58  
Yeah, well since of course we're all at a super brutal metal show and not at some gay harry potter folkemocore show, if there's a tall person in front of you, all you gotta do is push xD
Don Martin - 02.04.2010 at 23:03  
Lol, I'm 1.71 m and 14 years old and there's always some drunk asshole smoking his ass of, stinking like a pig standing in front of me...
Kennoth - 08.05.2010 at 20:42  
I suggest you should be cautious of the rule 82 then:

82. Focus on the little 14 year olds in the pit to make you look tougher


Btw: I'm 18 and 175, which is pretty short for someone my age
ImHiringMinions - 17.05.2010 at 16:50  
I love how the last one is something like 'help someone up if they fall' after everything else was 'be brutal!' lol xD

LMAO, I agree with that, I've seen really fucking tall dudes being in front of other dudes that were tall but not that much

from what i've seen most people who live south from (including) Mexico are small, except of course the Patagonians(even though the Spaniards themselves were dwarves, only 1.55 m tall average)

by some miracle though i finally witnessed a popular band's show with a perfect view (AC/DC about a month and a week ago), it was fucking epic not having to constantly sway left and right because of some huge asshole in front of me. it was fucking epic

i've been thinking of writing my own 101 rules of picking up chicks at metal concerts, i think i'm gonna begin writing right now haha

102. Headbang as hard as you can in Doom concerts! Moshing is permitted, too!

I saw some Draconian concerts in Youtube and I can't stand those guys who headbang with that Doom songs!

Last weekend I saw a circle pit during Kyuss and people moshing during Candlemass. That is the most pathetic thing one can do together with stage dive mo. A slow headbang is possible at a doom gig.
Derwood - 27.06.2010 at 04:57  
Let's see...how'd I do?

Damn, blew it on rule 1. Wore a 3 Inches of Blood to Dream Theater and Iron Maiden.

All the way to 13 before I found a rule I didn't break (because I forgot my earplugs).

Number 61 - got a wife and four kids, so I'm hetero...just too damn old and out of shape for moshing these days.

Rule 100 - check.

Hey, I managed to get 2 out of 101 right. Guess I'm just not that metal.
Liquidus_Animus - 22.07.2010 at 21:06  
the boner in a mosh cracked me up.
And I hate the random tall dude that's always in front. Doesn't help that I'm 5'4'' and pretty skinny
Elodie Artour - 07.08.2010 at 23:56  
LOL

Thanks for taking your time and creating that list, Dangerboner! It is definitely hilarious and so damn true... As for example, I do wear earplugs at concerts but most of the people, who attend metal events, claim it's "untrue" and useless to wear such things. I'm short and sometimes, it is extremely difficult to see the currently playing band because of so many taller than me people all around at the very front of the stage. It's also damn annoying any time a metalhead decides to mosh, jump and headbang around me without caring whether I'll get hurt or simply won't be able to see anything because of his hair. I'm small, short and tiny, for fuck's sake! It's just not fair!
RafaRata - 16.08.2010 at 08:25  
I do the hand thing during guitar solos loool
