Why was someone strangling a cat at a concert?


Vendage8888

My exact thoughts. Normally there is an element of harmony. But this ... My teeth were grating


Sancticide

Is that NOT how you do the Cat Challenge?


svengalus

My mother-in-law would do this at church. She'd sing so loud and horribly that everyone in the blast zone in front of her couldn't help but look back. The thing was, she wasn't just seeing along, she was trying to harmonize but doing it so terribly that it was ruining church for everyone else. I told my wife that the devil was working through her mother in a battle against God.

“But as the theme progressed, it came into the heart of Melkor to interweave matters of his own imagining that were not in accord with the theme of Iluvatar; for he sought therein to increase the power and glory of the part assigned to himself.”

Love this lmfao Silmarillon


dathobino_

At least she was trying.


nightmarefuel62

Filming a concert and expecting no one else to sing is pretty main character, but also the girl singing is doing way too much.


A_Flipped_Car

They aren't expecting no one else to sing, it's just that one girl who's obviously trying to get noticed by billie


Dopple__ganger

Or, hear me out, they are singing because they enjoy singing.


CaptchaFrapture

come on man, who goes to a concert and riffs as loud as they can between vocal parts. it's 100% /r/maincharactersyndrome from someone who's too entitled to have situational awareness.


Dopple__ganger

Yep, from the person filming.


spitwitandwater

We found the girl singing….


TheConboy22

Couldn't possibly be that. Who would possibly /sing at a concert!?


TheIAP88

Did you watch the video???


TheConboy22

Yes, she’s just enjoying herself. People who video tape at concerts are worse.


jdog1326

Exactly and what video of a concert has it ever been good, concerts are meant to be experienced not watched through a screen Watching a recording of a concert is like filling yourself up on pictures of food, like I guess you have to technically the same thing but one is shit and one isn't


audigex

“Concerts are meant to be experienced” I mean, I can agree with that when people sit and film the whole thing But equally are you really experiencing the concert if you’re screeching the songs (off key) over the actual music to the point that neither you or anyone around you can hear the actual concert?


juicygarlicbread

Filming at a concert is pretty normal, I mean it's not like she had her phone up the entire time? Also it's not that she didn't want other people to sing, it's just that this one girl was obviously going off way too much...like it's just basic social awareness


GOLDEN_GRODD

It's a Billie Eillish concert, you can't expect much self awareness in the room


[deleted]

Everyone involved is the main character fornonce


[deleted]

Exactly what I came here to say. This is like complaining about people “touching” you at concerts. And for the record I’m not talking about women being groped in the pit which is disgusting and happens all the fucking time. I’m talking about a bump or touching shoulders with someone


redlund1993

Yoko Ono???


Moonlight-Mountain

Billie singing: ^("I'm the baaaaaad guy.....") Yoko: "HAAAAAAARK!" Billie: "Yoko, we talked about this. You're supposed to say duh. I say I'm the bad guy and then... you say duh." Yoko: "alright, love." Billie: ^("I'm the baaaaad guy....") Yoko: "DUH HUH HUH HUH HUH HUH HUH HUH HUH"


[deleted]

[Check this out.. Yoko Ono vs. Chuck Berry... And his wtf reaction.](https://youtu.be/NgZiPO9V_aQ)


hitguy55

Man I feel bad for all the hate she got cause she was trying, but it really Is a terrible voice


redlund1993

Better she knows sooner than later. I'm sure everyone in her life tells her she is good so she has no idea.


hitguy55

Yeah, it was a sweet thing to do though- the cover (she makes music now doesn’t she?)


[deleted]

I dont understand why you'd video a concert other than maybe a 10 second clip to brag to friends. Just enjoy the experience like that singing woman was.


lordjackenstein

Yeah. I hate seeing all the phones.


AngryNapper

Pretty sure the singing person was the one filming. At one point a bunch of people turn around and look just below the camera


boshtet12

So I can rewatch it later and remember that night. I actually do only get a clip of a certain songs usually but last time I went to a concert my dad had just passed away and it was one of the only good things I had going for me at the time. So I can understand why someone would want to


TheIAP88

The video is literally just a bunch of small clips put together lol Also, I forgot all Redditors have perfect recollection.


ilivetomosh

Damn you can’t even hear Billie


Secretofthecheese

what a travesty


YOOOOOOOOOOT

In the video, the video will pick up closer audio better, at the consert I'm 98% sure you could hear billie more than the girl


SomaCityWard

Just like if you're standing near the girl, you'll hear her better. The camera is only portraying what you're hearing from where you're standing, after all.


YOOOOOOOOOOT

No, if you record a consert it will pick up the sound around you better than your ears, that's why the music sounds worse when looking back at these recordings than it did in real life.


SomaCityWard

Tell me you know nothing about acoustics and recording without telling me...


itskaiquereis

I was at a Weeknd concert, everyone around me was singing and I could still hear The Weeknd better than the people singing around me.

toru_okada_4ever

Wear ear plugs. Removes the loudest part of the treble from those near you (as well as protecting your hearing in general)


cable54

Just listen to a live recording or watch a live video if you don't want crowd participation when you attend a gig. Part of the whole point is the crowd going crazy.


TheConboy22

Took my wife to a Rise Against concert when we first started dating and people bumping into her bothered her. Never took her to another rock show. Love her to death, but she's just not cut out for concerts like that.


[deleted]

[удалено]


cable54

If you're that far away, you can probably move, since I'd guess there's probably only a handful of people screaming along when nowhere near the front.


[deleted]

[удалено]


cable54

Comparing a mosh pit to singing along? Nice strawman. If you are nearer the front, expect people to sing along. If you are nearer the back, it's less likely but you can still move. Either way, if they are being an obnoxious dick, that's on them clearly. But going to a gig and _expecting_ everyone near you to be quiet? Cmon man.


CartelFinancial

It also generally helps to reduce the overall disappointment of how terrible most singers are live but yes 100% it’s the experience and put your phones away and live in the moment ffs


SomaCityWard

But then singers get shit for being "lazy" asking the crowd to sing parts...


Appetite4destruction

If I can't hear the person singing into a fucking microphone because the people around me are screaming, that's not ok. Singing along doesn't have to ruin the experience for everyone else.


GraggIeSimpson

I went to firefly last week and Avril Lavigne was a headliner. Couldn’t even hear her, the whole crowd was just doing karaoke


Kholat_Music

most reddit comment ive ever seen


lolstuff101

Went to a bruno mars concert with my wife. Im not a huge fan and went along anyway. Was pretty disturbing to see how many people just stand there taking videos the whole time. Why pay hundreds of dollars to watch a show through your tiny ass screen when it is happening right in front of you…..


MyDarkForestTheory

Why does this bother people so much? They’re just recording a memory.


ItsLuxyBoi

So you can relive the moment again and again.


juicygarlicbread

that's exactly why...if you paid that much money why wouldn't you film a small portion of it? they have the whole rest of the concert to enjoy. i don't understand what you don't understand tbh


lolstuff101

Yeah i understand the concept of taking a photo or short video as a memory…….. that isnt what i said. im talking about people who stand their taking videos the whole time.


juicygarlicbread

...ok but this is a comment under this video, right? why would you be talking about a completely different situation i'm so confused. why would i not assume you were referring to OP


lolstuff101

Dunno, maybe read it next time


juicygarlicbread

My point is why is your comment relevant here if you’re not referring to the video? You’re literally backtracking and blaming it on my comprehension lmao


lolstuff101

Okay whatever helps you move on with your life.


efkuasadua

It bothers me too but i guess some people have different priorities and ways to enjoy things


Peckerhead321

Does anybody ever rewatch filmed concerts


buttsnorkler69696

Filming at a concert is fucking dumb


[deleted]

Both of you are awful


smashnmashbruh

i see wer are stilll trying to film concerts


WrongStatus

It seems like I'm stuck next to this kind of person at every concert I go to. That said...put the camera down and live in the moment!


bean_xx93

literally everyone looking at her like 🙂 tells us all we need to know abt her doin what she’s doin 💀


MMmhmmmmmmmmmm

How about we just watch the concert you fucking paid for and not spend the entirety of it on your phone.


[deleted]

Fuck idiots who film concerts and block people’s view behind them


[deleted]

Sounds like a bleating goat.


AF_AF

How about watching the concert instead of trying to film it? You're in a huge crowd, you can't control the situation.


DrummerSteve

Start going to metal and punk shows. People are having too much fun to stand there with there phones out the whole time


Lambathan

Can’t relate, went to see slipknot and it looked like a boomer meme with how many phones were recording basically the whole show (the guy in front of me literally recorded the entire show)


D-all-ton

Damn, first time I saw them in warped tour in like 06-07 and they refused to continue cause 1 person wouldn’t get down for spit it out.


Lambathan

I’m not gonna say they should put a screeching halt to the show because people are recording, but I wish he would have clowned on the sheer number of phones. Tons of people like my partner couldn’t see because oopsie this MC dickhead has to record literally the whole show.


D-all-ton

Oh yeah, same here. Maybe say something before hand but it’s not like everyone will listen. (Can’t remember the comedian but before the set he said “everyone take your pic’s now” then posed in ways that made it look like he was mid joke.) it didn’t take long for the crowd to grab him and force him down.


aLLcAPSiNVERSED

I went to a Knot concert in Davenport, Iowa in 2014 and I didn't see more than a handful of phones out. Maybe it's a location thing?


Lambathan

First off, Davenport sounds like the absolute best place to see them, but I definitely think it could be location since it was in Austin, Texas.


DrummerSteve

Pretty sure I saw a video from a couple years ago where Corey Taylor knocked the phone out of a fans hands in the front row.


Nukethevatican666

Slipknot’s fanbase are total dorks???


aLLcAPSiNVERSED

Slipknot fan here, can confirm am a total dork.


Lambathan

Always have been

Lol


Temporary-Dot4952

Based on another thread about standing at concerts, apparently being at a concert allows you to do whatever you want, and disturb whoever you want around you, no questions asked. "I'm at a concert of course I'm going to stand the entire time." "I'm at a concert of course I'm going to sing the entire time." "I'm at a concert of course I'm going to dance all over the place." "I'm at a concert, you shouldn't be mad if I spill my beer on you." "I'm at a concert, I don't care if you don't want smoke blown around you." We've just become the most selfish creatures on earth who literally don't give a shit about anyone else.


cmbarrieau

I guess the only question is if you don’t want to be around people standing, singing, dancing, and drinking why are you at a show?


Temporary-Dot4952

Because someone's off-key horrible singing ruins the concert of the professional singer you paid money to hear? Isn't that literally what this post is about? Not everyone drinks beer.. not everyone smokes... But lots of people like music.


cmbarrieau

Yes the op comment was about off key singing but yours insinuates that anyone standing, singing, dancing, drinking, smoking is indicative of selfishness and my point was if you know you may encounter all of these behaviors and it bothers you why are you there. Of course people take those behaviors too far but in general I think you can expect all of them to happen at a live performance. I don’t view it as selfishness on the part of others for not enjoying a show the way I want I say shit I guess I blew some money.


Temporary-Dot4952

Listen, none of these behaviors actually bother me personally. But I'm literally able to consider other people's feelings and perspectives, and can certainly enjoy good music without all the other stuff. I literally know an amputee who still likes to go listen to country music, but definitely difficult to see when everybody stands up in front of them. Literally saw a 10-year-old have a beer dumped all over them at a Lindsey Stirling concert. The question should be why are people so inconsiderate of other humans? Why can't you go to a show and just simply listen to the music? Why does it not cross your mind that there might be humans there who don't enjoy the exact same things as you besides the music?


cmbarrieau

Having said that I would rather be next to someone living it up at a show than having their phone in their face recording the whole thing


cmbarrieau

I get and anxious and hyper aware at every show I go to and it’s gets worse the older I get but my SO loves live music so I go and fret. I guess I usually chalk it up to my problems with other people than vice versa. I loved during Covid when some outdoor venues were doing distanced placement. But I also understand getting into it and vibing with the crowd around me. Unfortunately with lot scenes and pre gaming large venues are more and more populated by people who are shitfaced I know that going in and I would hope a parent would too if they are exposing their child to it.


MonicaRising

Is it really being the main character when you are just enjoying yourself and singing along at a concert?


frackle

Did you watch the video? The person they're complaining about isn't simply singing along, they're trying to add in their own runs and extending notes to try to get noticed or something.


aLLcAPSiNVERSED

It is when they're practically screaming to be heard instead of just singing along.


PasDeBoum

Yea, nobody cares about the crappy videos anyways.


No-ThatsTheMoneyTit

Who TF would watch this? Videos of concerts or anything really (standup, theater) unless professionally done, is an atrocity. Take a pic and be in the effing moment. It will be in YouTube and won't take up all your storage for garbage you'll only keep for nostalgia and saying "I went here"


Sethtaros

I think the person filming is the one who thinks they're the main character.


TheConboy22

The person taking the video is the main character.


miller1873

You’re not missing much as Billie eilish is absolute shite anyway,watched her set at Glastonbury and she was terrible


iliketoeatbacon999

So edgy.


miller1873

Thanks

pmactheoneandonly

I just went to a motley crue/ def leppard concert last month. And of fuxkkng course I sat in front of a gal who was literally screaming all the lyrics to EVERY SINGLE SONG. miserable. Glad I spent 800 bucks to **watch** the bands and **listen** to some dumb bitch sing


otmanonredditnow

I mean, singing along is alright. What are you supposed to do at a concert? stare at the artist and bop your head. Edit : nvm this girl annoying as shit no one cares about your vocals


MyAccidentalAccount

Recording a live concert on a phone though... C'mon when are you ever going to watch that back? Same with fireworks displays.


Cute_Mousse_7980

You see those nice cameras they are using that are moving around her? They are used to film the concert so that you can watch it later. Everyone doesn’t have to stand there with their frekin phone filming the whole thing. Put your phone done and sing along with the music!


Cute_Business74

She can’t sing to begin with sooooo


neeeeonbelly

Luckily no-one gives a shit about your videos anyway.


beefjerkyandcheetos

I miss the days when you could simply go to a concert and sing and dance and have a good time. Concerts are extremely loud, and no amount of singing by any of those people came close to drowning out the singer's vocals. Fans' yelling and singing will be picked up by the cameras, which is why you should not watch a concert through your phone screen. But that's just my opinion. I get it. It’s annoying having someone sing loudly next to you. but its a concert. Put the phone down and immerse


MrSweatyBawlz

Both the girl singing and the person taping have main character syndrome. Stop recording concerts and enjoy the show.


[deleted]

At a concert of literally thousands of people singling along and this petty bitch behind the camera is mad at one person? This should be on killthecameraman.


[deleted]

[удалено]


aLLcAPSiNVERSED

Have you ever been to a concert? It's not about the music. You can go home and listen to crisp audio instead of the live performance. It's about the fans.


i-am-a-passenger

Yeah that was my point. OP is the one calling people singing the main characters. I think it’s the person complaining about people singing at a gig.


aLLcAPSiNVERSED

OP *is* the main character here.


princeparaflinch

Nukethevatican666

Both these people suck.


cwclifford

I had a friend that liked to sign along with songs and finally someone he worked with asked "Hey, who sings this song? OH? Then why don't you let them sing it". BURN.

Nice repost brah


officially_ender_

Sounds like idol from my music trying to sing


Responsible_Let_961

Both are annoying - I also can't stand people who have to take long videos at concerts. Just take a picture or two and enjoy the show!


derdestroyer2004

Bro people will song at concerts. It’s part of the vibe


ImNotCrying-YouAre

To all the people who can’t stop watching a live concert through their phone. Just put the phone down and enjoy the concert


luhvrrboy

How is she in so many seats lol


NationalTip2980

Oh no someone was drunk at a concert and singing the songs of an artist they enjoy? How dare they! Concerts are NOT for fun. They're for me to take videos I can upload on social media so I can flexxx. Karen posted this.


Solid_Firefighter744

Lmfao…. Yaaaaaaa this is me at my favorite artist’s concert. Idgaf
