Yes, I know it’s censored. I didn’t censor it. I still think it’s fucking funny. See? I can write fuck.

    I used to love big arena shows until I saw a famous band do a three night stand at a small bar/club style venue. After that, I started going to shows of bands/performers I hadn’t heard of. Changing how I thought of shows, where before I thought of it as an event like going to see a theatre play, to thinking about them similarly to how I’d think of going to the movie theater made the whole live scene seem more accessible and more fun. I hope when my kids are older we can start going to more shows again.

    I read an article that said being in a band is less appealing to kids these days and that being an influencer is more popular than wanting to be a Rockstar. I hope it’s just “old man yells at clouds” because I feel like there is always room for more local acts. Support your neighbors, go dance!

    Used to play in bands. Still do but I used to too.

    In the one I was in in high school, some drunk ass old man ran on stage, unplugged our guitarists guitar, got behind him and started pretending he was playing it and humping him. Supported us real good

      Hey. You be nice to drummers. And remember that if you air drum to Def Leppard and you use both arms, you’re an asshole.

    Support more obscure artists in general, doesn’t have to be local. Bandcamp is great.

    Man I used to go to live, small wrestling shows at little clubs. We used to abuse those poor wrestlers, pick on anything about them and everyone in the crowd could hear each other so we were ruthless and making each other laugh. One guy got destroyed over his backne and another cause he had angel wing tattoos.

        I don’t care. He could have uncensored it or found the original tweet or whatever that is

          that sounds like way more effort than is reasonable to expect from a shitpost.

              One can also undo the curse of reposting text as a screengrabbed image file.

              Support local bands. Go to their shows. Tell them they suck to their face. Unplug the bassist’s instrument cable. Demand free merch after. Get drunk as fuck in the parking lot. Fight their drummer. Support. Local. Bands.
