Do you mind headbanging at Progpower

[Unca Kev]

Unless I'm surrounded by short-haired, or bald metal fans!


...What? It could happen!

Every year I have some around me. Well it does help that one of the guys I go up Atlanta with is bald and the other has short hair! But aside from that, there seem to be plenty of others to get shelter from the oblivious/apathetic (not the cool ones) sweaty-haired headbangers!

one of the funniest things ive ever seen was a bald headbanger and pp6

he had to have been the fastest headbanger alive, it was just hilarious watching him, no offense to bald people! this guy in particular just looked hilarious

I wonder if that was my bald friend. Wait a sec! That sentence didn't sound too good!

hahaha... when I was about four, I had a My Pretty Pony.

 

[Jibrille]

LITTLE! It's My Little Pony! And yes, I am a girl who likes them. Though my neices now have all the ones from when I was a kid. The ones they make these days are flimsy plastic pieces of crap compared to the ones from the 80s.

If it bothers you, go sit down.

So, based on that, let's say I decide to suddenly throw my beer up in the area and some of it gets on you.

And hey, if it bothers you, go sit down. After all, getting beer spilled on you is a risk you take in going to a concert, right? Don't like that idea? It's the same logic.

Let's try another take on it: Enjoy the show in whatever way you see fit, as long as it doesn't disrupt someone else's (ie. my) enjoyment of that same show.

You want to headbang? Fine. Just keep your hair out of my face while you're doing it. Have excessively long hair? Then either cut it, don't headbang, or tie it up somehow. Just keep it out of my face.

i dont think this guy was particularly bald just a shaved head, he was young no older than 20

but his head was a blur i swear

he also had glasses

normal looking guy, just was hilarious watching him

LITTLE! It's My Little Pony!

Before My Little Pony, there was My Pretty Pony. I am a guy... I was a guy when I had a My Pretty Pony... I didn't realize until I got one that they were for girls.

That would definitely BOTHER ME!! If you decide to do that, just let me know and I'll drink it for ya!! Throwing it up in the air is fuckin' alcohol abuse!!

This thread is getting fuckin' hilarious!!

I noticed it too. That and some other posts in this thread are fuckin' hilarious! Not to mention all the tangents, this thread is so way off topic, I bet that it will never find it's way back!

I was kidding, just in case the bald guy (who is also my good friend...I won't name any names or screenames ) I was referring to, checked out this thread and got insulted. But from one of the extra details that you gave me, it definitely wasn't him. I don't remember (could be the beers) seeing that guy that you're talking about, but that sounds like one hell of a sight!

a drunk guy playing air guitar

I have never, ever, EVER seen this at PP.........

"Are you a little girl who likes My Pretty Pony?"

Yes. Yes I do. But I'm hardly a little girl. Anyway, here's My Pretty Pony!

...okay, so I lied. He's not a pony, he's a horse.

But the point is, I'm a girl, and I love equines. So I guess that means I have to "LEAVE THE HALL" as you so quoted Manowar.

ive been to 2, and only seen it once

this guy was totally wasted and was standing up basically performing to the audience in between sets, if only i had it on video!

I know that your joking but, I've been to 4 PPs, and I've seen it every time. And air bass (I'm guilty of that ), air drums, and air keys, not to mention people singing back to the lead singer (off key :zombie: )! Shit! I wouldn't be surprised if someone was playing air violin to EG's orchestra, last year!

I don't usually get drunk, and I have played air guitar at every ProgPower USA to date.

Here's a thought for anyone who doesn't like headbanging around you (since a few here don't "mind it") :

Move.


It's really that simple.


I have had butch-short military style hair and I have had hair down to my ass. I have never complained or even thought about thinking anything about myself or anyone else headbanging as a negative thing AT ALL. Guess what...It's a FUCKING METAL SHOW! GET IT?! If you don't like it, move two feet two you left or right (your choice). It's really not that fucking difficult.

Maybe some people's idea of Metal or a true Metal show on this board are a tad bit different than mine. Not most of them, just a few uptight ones here and there.

If anyone would like my assistance as to how to problem-solve their way out of difficult headbanging emotional trauma they might endure at their next concert, feel free to e-mail me and I will be glad to assist.

honestly, metal show or not, it is CLEARLY possible to NOT hit someone in the face with your hair, so why not just headbang in a way to not hit someone in the face, i mean christ thats just like pointlessly being rude.

and yes, it is being rude, when you can easily avoid hitting someone in the face, sorry that you have this asshole mentality about FUCK YOU IF YOU DONT LIKE IT ITS A METAL SHOW!

no one said they didnt like headbanging, and if they did it would be lame, but i doubt anyone ENJOYS getting smoked in the face every half second by someones long sweaty heavy hair throughout an entire set of one of their favorite bands when it could easily be avoided.

if this show allowed moshing and stuff like that, it would be a totally different story, but its a show where people are supposed to have a little respect for one another, thats what i always got out of it.

and you cant always move 2 feet to the side, cause theres so many people.

my resolution:

HEADBANG IN A WAY WHERE YOU DONT HIT PEOPLE IN THE FACE, ITS NOT HARD!

 

[ragingsaxmachine]

I'd rather have hair all up in my face the whole damn show than smelling some of the farts and body odor that lofted up last year. Somebody definately ate a carcus or something.

Hey guess what, My hair is long and If I really get into the band, I band my fucking head! Sorry! If you're in back or in front of me, guess what...sorry! If you don't like it...guess what...sorry! I apologize to you that If I really feel it during a moment in a concert, I bang away with no regard. I am feeling it at the moment. I don't think people ever bitched at Chris Cornell or Mike Patton for the way they were banging. I've been going to Metal shows on and off for 18 years now and not one pansy-ass wannabe Celine Dion fan has had the balls to get bitchy to me about my hair hitting them. Do you know why...?


ITIS BECAUSE THEY FUCKING MOVE!!! I'M NOT STOPPING HEADBANGING BECAUSE OF YOUR BITCH-ASS DOESN'T LIKE MY HAIR HITTING YOU!!!

Oh, and what show are we talking about now, ANY Metal show, or PP? Because last time I checked, there is plenty of room to move around at the Earthlink if someone is acting "Metal" around you.

And if it's any other Metal show, well you'd probably just get laughed at there too.

Sorry.
