Ive been meaning to get this off my chest all weekend.
What a disgrace it was to see the pictures of a duck duck goose game during a metal show. Yes, having fun is great and all, but at a metal show? Watch the bands, listen to the music, discuss music amoungst eachother, but don't play gradeschool shit at a metal show. what is this, gym class?
while it is great to have more metal fans around, there is a time when one should act like one. you guys have destroyed palladium shows since around 2004 and continue to do so.
I think I speak on behalf of the majority of the people that post here (sans boblovesmusic), but get that shit out of metal. The time has come to grow up and respect metals roots, not trample it with laughter and flowers.
GTFO AND DO A RITUAL ABOUT IT.
Responses and rebuttals are welcome, but none of you kids post here- only lurk. Show your faces so we can gladly spit in it.
Thanks.

duck duck goose at a metal show is pretty stupid
[Jul 19,2010 2:15pm - FuckIsMySignature ""]
just join in the game and change it around to "Duck Duck Punch in the Face"

That's just sad. Another reason to not leave the woods.
When I was a kid going to hardcore shows (we're talking early 90s here), any type of this behavior was met with a serious beating. Apparently stupid kids don't receive well-deserved ass-kickings anymore.

Maybe they don't know any better and think they're doing a ritual about it.

They were doing it for the lulz.

we do not endorse this type of behavior, the palladium is not even worthy of being defecated on by so much as a single member of our outstanding fleet of flocks
[Jul 19,2010 2:24pm - Archaeon ""]
You guys understand that they were doing it to mock a band right? not because they just wanted to play duck duck goose...

i think Dodgeball would be a more appropriate game for a metal show.

Hahahaha, wow. I've seen some silly stuff and even done a bit myself at shows, but that's just plain retarded. That's just not even funny. What show did you see this at?

When Sonic Syndicate opened for Amon Amarth at the palladium 75% of the floor sat down. I thought that was funny.

Maybe it's because I never thought I would read anything like this sentence in my life, but I can't stop laughing for some reason:

They were unable to backtrace where metal came from, so they got reported to the cyber police.

what's this band Mutiny Within all about?
seems like they were disrespecting the band
granted, they don't look like the type of folks who should be an authority on anything.

BOO the band off stage if they suck. Devil Driver got booed off stage at th palladium once. Not anymore. These kids love that shit.

I listened to them after i saw the facebook group, it's not terrible or anything. Gayer version of nevermore.

Beyond this GooseGate incident, the palladium crowds have sucked for years.

I can't remember the last time I went there. Last I can remember was an upstairs Symphony X show where George Clinton was playing downstairs. I felt conflicted.

palladium crowds have always sucked but i think its because they are to
young and they are usually to interested in being "metal" to have fun.
(please support fun)

funny, I was listening to pfunk last nite. way better than symphony x.
iamnotme- must have been when they were a newer band. wasn't even that long ago, 2003ish?
I barely go there anymore unless it's bands like morbid angel, etc. I missed the AtG show a few years ago, still mad.

in hindsight, I backed the wrong horse on that night.

Maybe these nerdarios got confused -- they once saw a circle pit and mistaked it for duck, duck, goose. So fucking gay.

that's the problem with all youth. they are all soft little bitches. they say 50 is the new 40. just follow that trend, because 20 is definitely the new 10. all youths should be exterminated.

fuck you dudes.. who are you to dictate what we can an can do at shows
[Jul 19,2010 3:51pm - arktouros ""]
the palladium is an all ages venue. maybe these kids figured if they played duck duck goose on the show floor, they could win a chance to hang out on the tour bus and get autographs from the bands.
really though this is the kind of shit i'd expect to see at an alkaline trio show or something. recess games on the show floor is so ironic. everyone knows real mature metal fans stand and stare with their arms folded.

Dude, metal has been commercialized for way longer than I've been alive. Kids fucking eat it up, I know I did. This particular show - Augury and Death Angel I would have loved to see, but I don't want anything to do with the other bands. For every good metal band there's 1,000 shitty ones. I wouldn't be surprised if all-ages metal show recess happened last night or 15 years ago.
[Jul 19,2010 4:03pm - spaldino on phone ""]
Who are we to say that? We pay to get in to these shows too. Probably because we want to see the bands and listen to them play. We don't pay to see a group of talentless faggots try to mock a band that has a lot of talent and that deserves to be on stage. You're trying to troll the wrong band and are doing it all wrong.
Anyone remember Catastrophic? Anyone remember the times they played the palladium? The Immortal/manowar show especially? Biker dudes heckled the fuck out of them to the point where the meathead vocalist snapped and was like "I fucking hate this place!" and raged after every song or so. It was amazing. Duck duck goose? Doesn't do anything but make you look like a giant faggot.

^^^ TRUTH!
[Jul 19,2010 4:14pm - arilliusbm ""]
Ark, the overall general outlook and attitude of younger metal fans has changed drastically since I've been going to metal shows... I'm not even old.. We're roughly the same age. I can't imagine being a 50 year old metal head and witnessing this nonsense. commercialized or not, (younger) metal crowds are damn mockery in and of itself these days. It was even different 5 years ago.
I agree with the statement about 1000 bad bands, but at least the crowd was respectable. These kids don't belong at metal shows - they don't understand the unwritten laws of being a metal head. They need to grow up and start acting like real fans, booing, cheering, headbanging, etc. Not this crap. This ain't metal.
[Jul 19,2010 4:27pm - arktouros ""]
Meh, no different than a Dragonforce show 6 years ago. Gay bands attract gay people. I agree about recess breaking out at a metal show being extremely lame. I'm skeptical about your perception of younger metal fans being somehow different today (and it's all about perception right) but pop thrash/death/whatever metal becomes more popular you get more random crowds of suburban nerds who break out of the woodwork, and do ridiculous shit at shows with eclectic bills. Like this random jackoff donning corpsepaint.

I guess the moral of the story is that there is a gaping hole between older metal fans, middle metal fans, and newer metal fans. As the extreme genre progresses and becomes more mainstream, the crowd has been changing. this is as expected. Like I said, I don't care that there's more metal fans; I just hope they don't lose the grasp and/or concept of what metal is, and how it should be withheld. It's a depressing state of affairs, as there is no real answer. There's nothing one can really do about it.
The younger fans need to wake up and smell the napalm, that's all.
