This is too good a post to be allowed to get lost in the Non-SY fans wearing Goo tshirts thread that it was originally posted in:

02. Outside the club or stadium, DON'T listen to anything by the group you are about to see in concert. (exception to the rule: if you have a copy of the new album and it hasn't been released yet, feel free to crank it up and let everyone know you have something they don't......beware the chance of finding a broken window when you return to your vehicle after the show).

03. Swans, Sleep Chamber and Pain Teen t-shirts are permissible at anytime!

Know the rules, respect the rules and live by the rules......

Does anyone have any other rules that they would care to add?

There is theoretically a person-sized space between me and the person in front of me. This does not mean you get to squish in and stand there. Keep on walking, pal.

[ploesj]

have fun. even when the concert is bad, you can still laugh at the band.

[Savage Clone]

Oh, and loud talkers during quiet parts really need to just take it the fuck outside, already. Some of us want to listen to some goddamned music.
And if we can hear you during the loud parts as well, just don't ever leave your fucking house, OK?

Yeah, don't be "that guy." Because more often than not, "that guy" also sweats.

There is a good chance "that guy" has no shirt on as well.

[jennthebenn]

don't push and elbow me when i'm up front so
you can squeeze in with me. get there early if
you want up front so badly.

making out at shows...people who seem to always find the exact center of the place where everyone can see them and all they do is swap spit. don't be those people.

If you feel like attending gigs just to voice your opinions on the bands, be prepared to have death-wishes on your vocal cords by people who are there to listen and not being listened to.

[Everyneurotic]

don't treat a gig like a fashion show.

And he's 6 and a half feet tall and you just want to strangle the life out of him.

if in a mosh pit, be a courteous mosher, help people up, and don't punch people, you'll get beat the fuck up and miss half of slayer's set, haha that guy was crying when they hauled him out "but but but, i didn't hear raining blood yet, nooooooooooo" dumbass

[screamingskull]

Keep your shirts/shoes on unless its an outside gig.
Tall guys get to the back.
No public displays of affection, save it till you get home.

Exactly.

Dont shout out fucking wiseass comments, If the band likes them, than youre most likely to get a songlist but if they dont its stupid.

[screamingskull]

don't eat anything to garlicky or messy during the show, at the Roundhouse in London they sell popcorn, pizza and these falafel filled pita bread things. Strange!

[Everyneurotic]

don't shout for freebird and/or the most famous song the band plays (don't shout for kool thing if seeing sonic youth, don't shout for creep if seeing radiohead, etc.).

shouting for obscure songs, even though you'll get stared down by everyone around you, is permisable.

[!@#$%!]

if you are attending a cat power concert, do not get more drunk than chan, or there will be consequences

reminds me of when i went to ozzfest, some dude smashed his face in minutes into atreyu's set (yes, atreyu) at like 10:30 am and when the moshing wasn't particularly violent. they took him away in an ambulance...dude paid $100 to see 1 and a half bands.
