Default Arena Rock Shows = Bullshit?

I was dragged to see some crappy band at a big 10,000 seat arena.

You have to sit the entire time. Or you can stand IN PLACE. No mosh pit unless you paid for a 100 dollar ticket in advance.

The lawn seat monitors(Big ass TV's) are bigger than the stage from your perspective.

Gimme a basement show please. Hell, when I play, I prefer floor stages. I hope I'm never in a band that has to tour these "sheds" as they are referred to in the music industry.

FUCK THESE PLACES.

the end.

I stopped going to big venues years ago because its a "sterile" environment. Live music is supposed to be heard as well as felt.

Better off buying a fukkin DVD and watching it at home.

My requirements for seeing bands are generally that it will cost me less than $20 and I can buy a beer there. It's a good thing that every band that I have wanted to see in the last 5 years has met both of those requirements.

No shit. Too expensive and you feel like a rat in a cage. Going to smaller venues shows is more social and funner. It's the way music should be enjoyed.

I've NEVER been to an Arena gig. Oh, sorry I went to Wembley Arena once but that's not much bigger than a large cinema and you could stand, sit, collapse anywhere you wanted to.
I've always been put off by the fact that the bar would be half a mile away assuming alcohol is allowed on the premises.
If it takes longer to get a beer than it does to drink it I steer well clear.

Been to enough to know they blow dog dick for quarters. I might go depending on the band, but those chances are slim.

I saw BB King and Dr. John at an arena once. It was awesome.
