Well no offence to metal bands but sometimes they just sound terrible live. Ive been to quite a few concertes verying in genre. I've seen the Manic Street Preachers 3 times and they are amazing live. The music isn't loud and i generally enjoy myself. I've also seen Avenged Sevenfold they were also quite good, sure a little loud but it was bearable. Ive also seen a 3rd wave ska band whee about 18 people were watching. Its one of the best gigs I've been to you dont have 6ft tall guys standing in front of me with there sweaty armpits in my face and we all had room to enjoy a very good band. As for you gusy who say you wont go to a concert because of the 'idiots' then i suggest thats a wrong reason. You get a few idiots mostly by the front of the stage jumping in and out of moshpits. Simply stand back at the bar and you get a better view anyway and stand by the sound box, thats the best quality sound your gonna get cus there mixing the damn thing xD. And you can't blame some peopel fro getting excited at gigs thats what there there for some people like to go and let loose, why not? It's there life sure I've had drunks bang into me and swear at me but you have to take it with a pinch of salt and laugh of it. That's what concerts are about.
Oh and talking about loud bands. I recently went to my friends band practise who have two 'screamers' two guitarists a drummer and a bassist. They were rehearshing in a small sound proof room....ouch my ears hurt! x] Anyway im gonna shut up now. =D
