I also hate when bands fill up their set with covers. Especially when it's a band that I've paid to see because of their own original material.

Not trying to start shit but you kind of sound like a douche. Heaven forbid a front man try to get people into the bands live show.Agreed. Any time a band member tries to force crowd participation is lame-sauce in my eyes.
"Put your hands in the air!!" *I stick up my middle finger*
"I wanna see everybody move!!" *I 'move' straight to the exit*
"Put your hands together!!" *I don't clap for the rest of the set*
"I want everybody to sing this next part with me!!" *I go find something to drink and probably spend the rest of the set outside smoking, or something*
Few things turn me off more than somebody telling me how to listen to/enjoy music/musical performance.
*note* All of the above are probably fine if we're talking about some GIANT festival with THOUSANDS of attendants, but when you're in a dive bar playing to 20 people, knock that shit off. Seriously.
And let's not forget abouta band that just stands there. FRIGGIN' DO SOMETHING!!! Hear that Dream THeater?![]()

So of the craziest shows I have been to have been 20 people in a dive bar. Welcome to the underground.
i completely agree with you, but i have to say i never crowd participate except pogo... and in my experience some people just NEED to be encouraged, the most of the audience totally digs this "comeon do that thing with us and the drummer will try to hit the bassdrum in time with you"... its just crowd pleasingAgreed.

and finally...get into the music! How many of yall have seen Periphery play? During bulb's solos....crazy movement, faces, looks like he's really enjoying it. Have some fucking fun, it should be more of you wanting to play and have fun than just playing and getting it over with...it's your passion..
THIS.I can't stress this enough HELP OUT YOUR BAND MEMBERS. It's a team effort, work as a team, have fun doing so, and don't be a dick after the show and get others to help tear down your equipment and look at your drummer for half an hour while he takes his stuff apart. Take everything off stage, put it in one place, then worry about putting it all up... If you play with a fairly easy rig, it's very nice to help others out. They might buy you food afterwards.and that way yall tear down sooner and you have more time to talk to fans/people at the show
