I played trumpet in a ska band in the 00s. This one time, in a small bar, things got a little rowdy and a guy ran into my trumpet while I was playing it. Hurt like a motherfucker. I spit out blood and it loosened a tooth. The other fans saw me spit out blood and started kicking the shit out of the guy on the ground. Then one dude bought me a beer to wash the blood down

Good times.

Support local bands.

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

I was a local bassist and I support this message.

There was a horrible accident where the bus a band was in went over the side of a cliff. 4 musicians and 1 drummer died.

I used to sing in a post punk band. We had a drum machine. In the middle of one gig, the drum machine spazzed out and deleted all the internal memory, and started a 600bpm bossa nova loop. We played right through to the end.

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!

They forgot to say spill beer on their amps

I always buy merch as it's worth more than any amount a band earns from streaming. I wish more bands have shirts that aren't just black though. I'd estimate only a quarter of the artists I've seen have shirts of a different color.

Could you not write fuck so much please?

But seriously, support local in general.

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

fight the drummer?!

Dude. Everyone knows it’s FUCK the drummer! (They’re always the crazy one)

Suspicious contempt for the rhythm section here.

fuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuck fucking fucking myself

You have just said “I like GG Alin.” and called it a day.

Sounds like a great night out!

I used to throw back nickels at them.

You can say fuck on the Internet
