Gig-Goer of the Week, part 2
Yes Ledge, I do have something to say about the guy sat behind us at the Eels gig. Now, as Ledge pointed out, Eels gigs are a very special thing. They happen only rarely and usually Ledge manages to do something stupid which keeps us from getting tickets (“It won’t sell out, we’ll get tickets when we get back from our honeymoon dear….”) which means they are even rarer if for us than most people.
My guess is they’ve been playing SEATED gigs for a reason – they’re doing the songs acoustically, they want people to pay close attention to the instrumentation and the audience, for the most part, appreciated that and was sat in SILENT reverence. Except one guy. He was sat behind us, naturally. He was singing LOUDLY, not only all the words, but the instrumental bits as well. Yes, this jackass was singing along with the guitar parts. How big a dickhead does that make him? Plus, as he recognized each song at the start he kept screaming “Yeah! Alright!” and clapping really loudly and woo-woo-ing. Like, is EVERY Eels song his favourite?
Thing is, anyone who’s as into a band as this guy clearly wanted the entire audience to understand he was, would probably know that the band in question, for about three years, has tended to do a final encore AFTER the lights have gone up and half the audience has left. This fucktard bolted for the door the moment the lights came up. Idiot.
Now, it may be just me, but it would seem that if you’re the only person in an entire audience behaving like you’re behaving – be it moshing, singing loudly, whatever, you should perhaps take the time to consider whether, perhaps, your behavior is going to annoy, injure, or generally piss off those around you.
So another rule of the gig:
If nobody else is doing it, and if it will affect those around you – DON’T.

I was there too, I flew in from Germany just to see them and I was really really anxious E would be as grumpy as he was when I saw him in May in Cologne, but no way, though I thought he was, well, kinda drunk when he started singing “Fresh Feeling” but it was all good.
I heard that guy too, he yelled at the most random times like E was doing a somersault onstage or such.. I really really enjoyed that show even though I was utterly tired and hungover, and the seats were a bit problematic for a guy as tall as me too, but hearing “Novacaine” in this completely spaced out version gave me the chills of my life. The bits about the band break were hilarious too, like “I won’t go there with them and watch Chet smoking his crack-Whoopsie, his mom’s here, nevermind”
Just a perfect night for two babyfreaks, hugging each other and dazing away to these wonderful chords…AWESOME.

Hormones basically work from a tandem journey. Cleanse your equipment and applicators
at least once every fortnight. Nails will also become
less brittle and in great condition. At the chronilogical period
of 45, I seemed much older.
