Truthful Tuesday: Unpopular Opinion Edition
I don’t like live music.
See, I don’t like crowds. I hate the fact that you can’t hear the same clarity and articulation in what the band is playing because most venues’ acoustics suck ass. I hate how much you pay to sit in a crappy seat or stand on the floor to have people smack into you all the time. I hate paying so much for drinks.
That said, there are a few bands I still want to see live. The Reverend Horton Heat is playing here next month and I really want to see them, again. I haven’t seen them since ‘94. I want to see Dream Theater. We’ve taken the kids to see the Trans Siberian Orchestra and that’s always a great show.
But generally, I hate seeing bands live.
I’m with you on that. Only live concert I’ve ever truly enjoyed was the last Flogging Molly show I went to. I realized that I’d rather be in the pit than standing on the sides.
Every other time, I’ve just been standing and cursing because there’s some 6’5” asshole standing in front of me.
