Rustyy Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Amazing crowd at Etihad, at least in our section:D And i was at emirates 2, and the crowd where i was, was nearly as wild So is Coachella getting streamed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander DeLarge Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 I think its entirely dependent on location. US will never see MM. Don't think anyone can make claims like that anymore considering Yes Please has been played here. Sunburn is a piano rarity too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kazy-Babie Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 For any Australians who want to watch the stream, I found a timetable of weekend 1 and stream times (not all artists are there, dunno if the ones not listed are not being streamed or have just yet to be announced) https://www.dropbox.com/s/17r8airvjsq2ym8/coachella.png Muse is at 4:35pm Sunday, Brisbane/Sydney/Melbourne time if you couldn't be bothered looking.

Mc Queen Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 I'd put some kind of electromagnetic signal/circuit jammer on all venues so phones/cameras, etc, just didn't work. 99.99% of Youtube clips from gigs are utter horseshit. And I really don't understand why you would prefer to watch half the gig through a tiny camera lens. Watch the fucking gig, the memories are those moments you experience there and then, not from some shitty little fit of camera phone footage. Plus, because every other tosspot is filming too, why even bother? Let some other chump do the work if they want to waste the experience. This, so so much! I only film a little part of a quiet song as a memory for myself and the sound/gig/crowd/position. If I'm up front I'll get a few good pics on top and mostly just enjoy the gig!

deborafraga Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Most Brazilians know nothing, except trolling any celebrity's facebook/twitter with "COME TO BRAZILLLLLL" it worked with Muse we need to be noticed since most bands don't know we exist.. it's getting better now with festivals but a few years ago we didn't had bands coming here too often, that's why people are desperate on twitter/facebook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it has become a bit of a laughing point on Tumblr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter. Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 it's easier when you're seated. I don't think I'll ever be able to understand this... why on earth would you want to be seated at a rock concert??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hat Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 I don't think I'll ever be able to understand this... why on earth would you want to be seated at a rock concert??? Because you might have problems standing up for 2 hours. Because you might be more interested in seeing a show than being cramped in a crowd. Because you might not be physically able to see a band if you're in a crowd. Some people are short. Because you might not be that into the band. Because you didn't manage to get standing tickets.

serpentsatellite Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 I do film every now and then, but that's mostly 'rarities'. I prefer to watch with my own eyes... it's easier when you're seated. Then you can just put the camera on your lap and enjoy with your own eyes. Most of the videos that are worth a damn are from people with good cameras in the seats, tbh. It's the people in the crowd who hold them up in front of your face to film that should be thrown out. I don't give two shits if people want to ruin their own concerts, but more and more it's about them wrecking it for everyone around them. There was a kid who spent the entire last gig I was at, right up in the front, taking 30 seconds videos and sending them (and about 50 selfies) to his girlfriend. My bf, bless him, actually moved the kid behind us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forevermusic Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 I don't think I'll ever be able to understand this... why on earth would you want to be seated at a rock concert??? Some people just don't wanna stand and dance, and it can be a thing - it can be exhausting being in a heaving standard area, and very uncomfortable during some acts (I hurt my back during Green Day last summer, and almost got crushed during Arctic Monkeys despite being a long way from the stage). I used to do it as I'd have somewhere to leave my jacket in arena, and didn't have the limbs to stay standing for hours. Still don't, but I've changed recently to standing as it has better acoustics.

matthijs Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 I don't think I'll ever be able to understand this... why on earth would you want to be seated at a rock concert??? Because it's becoming increasingly more challenging physically to stand for a whole concert in which I can barely see, despite being 1:78. Had a pretty darn good view in Amsterdam, and I didn't feel completely hurting all over after the concert. With Sigur Rós it was just great to sit because there's not really any need to stand close. Doesn't mean first row is boring, but I can't always be there very early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter. Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 well they might as well provide beds at a sigur rós show still, I'd just feel weird sitting in one place, while the band is throwing riffs at the audience that practically urges them to jump around/mosh to it or whatever. Standing still for a long time has never been a problem for me, although I can understand why people don't like it. well, whatever. My opinion is that you're missing out on the best thing about rock shows if you're seated - the jumping, the moshing, the singalongs, and just letting loose in general which you sure as hell aren't able to do while sitting... it's your cash though, spend it as you will.

I don't see what's so hard to understand about it. Some people DON'T have a pleasant experience in a standing crowd, and I gave you plenty of reasons why. What your opinion is and what has never been a problem to you shouldn't affect your ability to see it from someone elses point of view. Unless ofc you're a moron.

I still think that a standing cowd is what a rock show is mainly about. you can go ahead and get seats if you'd like, but it won't be the same. you might as well just watch a DVD. and I didn't insult anybody, so please stop behaving like an asshole.

Maybe you're not insulting anybody here, but it's still an insulting opinion. You can't really speak for the seated people either. I was standing at night one at the Emirates and seated the second night and I enjoyed both for different reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentsatellite Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 As I've gotten older, I absolutely hate jumping around and carrying on at concerts. I had a lot of fun when I was younger doing it, but I have found that my actual enjoyment of said gigs has increased a ton since I have focused more on paying attention than on slamming myself around and screaming. If I think it's going to be a rough floor (increasingly rare, it seems, where I live and with the concerts I see) or if I can't be there early enough to get close enough, I will choose to sit so I can see and not get beat up by kids all night. Almost got seats for the MN Muse gig, actually. Couldn't see shit in '10, and it really hurt my experience a lot. And I'm really not that short (5'7".) Glad I didn't, but just because everyone was SO nice and let me in front of them if they were taller. Quite a miracle, really. I clap and cheer before and after songs, but I'd rather just take it in while the performance is happening, and I always sort of think it's unfair when people judge a crowd based on that. Doesn't mean we're not enjoying ourselves, in the slightest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
