He probably was bored as he was likely dragged there by someone else.

Get over yourself, hag.

See, now I'm going to have to sell my house for front stage tickets just so I can SLEEP through the dreadful coont's gig.

Next time I go to a concert, I'll get front row tickets and bring my mp3 player, and jam to someone else's tunes.

Bring one of these to one of her shows

Make sure you wear big earphones, and practice air guitar, preferably with a really fast solo, timed perfectly with one of her slow songs.

This would be awesome!

Assh*le. That was my grandpa. He can't stand or walk.

Start a mosh pit during a Madonna concert would be pretty funny, methinks. While doing the air guitar solo, of course.

This. My wife went to see her here - more out of professional interest than anything else (she was in radio for 12 years). She said it was mediocre at best. She played her entire new (crappy) album. She only sang about half the songs live (the ones that didn't involve insane dance routines). When she played older songs, they were reworked and techno'd up so much nobody recognized them. Towards the end of the gig, she grabbed an acoustic guitar and played a solo medley. No wonder this guy fell asleep.

The venue was less than half full. I got the tickets for 30% of face value from a failed eBay scalper.

Did she really use the lame "arse" instead of ass?

Good on her. i cant stand asshats at concerts who arent there for the music and to have a good, loud, drunk time

Nah, just a British web site. She says "aaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyys" like a real Merican.

She's English, they use that term or something.

Aren't concerts just background music for me while I text my friends?
And why are they so loud? I can't talk on the phone while they're playing. Kinda rude.

 
Robert Poopsmith 2008-10-09 11:40:41 AM  
I've done this at a few concerts I was dragged to against my will. I was sitting almost right in front as well in most occasions. . Just sat there and folded my arms looking bored. Once I pretended to fall asleep. ANother time one of the musicians was glaring at me while a took a bacon sandwich out of my pocket and ate it. No idea why that offended him. Was i not supposed to have a sandwich in my pocket or something?

Hahaha.

While I agree sometimes we're dragged to shows we don't want to be at I also think it sucks to the performers and crowd to see people there who clearly dont want to be.
I went to a club to see a famous DJ last summer for instance and half the crowd close to the stage stood there with their arms folded hogging the entire dance floor. Now, what's the point of being there (or atleast upfront/middle) if you're not going to enjoy the scene? .

I'm on both sides of the argument.

My GF has loved Barry Manilow since she was a child. I don't know why, but she does. I went with her in Vegas to see him and she had front and center seats. I sat the whole time. There was one other man in the front row. He was sitting the whole time too. We both watched and were not disruptive so there is really no reason for a performer to call someone out for enjoying a show the way they choose to enjoy it. Or maybe, he thought she sucked ballz and the show did too. Why should he stand? Just because she is "working her arse off" doesn't mean it is a good show.

It would be so goddamn funny if the guy was a paraplegic. Well, not necessarily funny for him. But you know what I mean. Probably.

Everybody should stand, and move their feet around--right towards the farking exit.

I can't believe this! I am lauughing so freakin hard I thought it had to be fake. I mean seriously, calling out a fan for sitting? I had realized Madonna had slipped into this crazy fantasy world where she is not only still popular, but Brittish... but this is a bit much. But im loving the story of the dude eating a bacon sandwich at a concert, Jesus that is classic! *sigh* back to "work"

When I took my 6 year old to see Iron Maiden, he slept through Trivium's opening set. I wish I did.

I've been to WAY better shows than Madonna and have had the unfortunate problem with HAVING to sit because the assclown behind me is sitting and can't see.

It's a shame when I got to see The Who or Styx... any of the bands I've seen, and having some asshole with his 14 year old kid or dumb biatch of a wife and they tell me to sit down.

I dont care if you're sitting, but sorry I'm going to stand and maybe try to not block you if I can help it.

I fell asleep on my feet in front of the speaker tower at a band's show once. Of course, I was in hour 44 of a dance marathon and whacked out of my gourd from exhaustion, but it was funny. No offense to the band, I'm sure they were good.

Madonna is a self-obsessed, vapid brat... and wildly successful because of it.

I saw Madonna on the Blonde Ambition tour when she was still considered relevant. Three-quarters of it was lip-synced and she couldn't even do that well. The only fun part of the show was watching horrified parents try to cover up their kids' eyes when she was faking masturbating during "Like A Virgin."

 
Pyro Messiah 2008-10-09 02:23:46 PM  
Hey Madonna, I paid you to entertain me, not the other way around. So STFU and lip-synch and dance, song monkey.

 
The1andonlyZack 2008-10-09 02:40:31 PM  
I would have just replied...Yes then gone back to whatever I was doing and not paid any attention to her. That'd rile the coont up. Then she'd possibly go all Italian on you and everyone would be like A-HA!

Then you'd have sex wtaihscarlett Johannsen while Ryan Reynolds watched and said you're the man!

/A to B doesn't make much sense I know
//Ryan Reynolds is a cool guy

It would be so goddamn funny if the guy was a paraplegic. Well, not funny about her being wrong. But its just funny when people have no use of their arms or legs. Now thats comedy!

First: definitely respond with a "So far, yeah... step it up old lady"

Second
: awesome filtration by juxtaposing "wthi" and "Scarlett"

 
purple helmet 2008-10-09 03:45:24 PM  
I'd have given her a one finger salute and a big smile.

/not that I'd be at a Madonna concert in the first place

 
craigdamage 2008-10-09 05:50:15 PM  
That "paraplegic" scenario supposedly happened to Beck once.

I can't find the link but I saw it once here on Fark methinks.

It was his response to "have you ever had a Spinal Tap moment" on stage or something like that.

If anyone still has it I would like to see it again.

 
LonMead 2008-10-09 07:14:42 PM  
Archie Godwin: HAHAHAHAHAHA some of you actually went to a madonna "concert"

I once went to go see Level 42. They were opening for Madonna. I stayed to watch some of her show. Two songs into it she started putting on more clothes. My girlfriend and I both thought "this is going the wrong way", so we left.

/never thought she was especially good or good-looking
//even when she was good and good-looking

 
serialkittenkiller 2008-10-09 07:26:20 PM

Kind of on the same topic, I saw a comedy show, The History of the Joke on The History Channel. Dave Attell said he did a show on a Halloween night or weekend. He was heckling some guy on the front row wearing a hockey mask, calling him Jayson from Friday the 13th, etc. He found out later the guy was a burn victim who had to wear the mask. Ooooops!

It seems I read stories about musicians calling seated fans out during a concert about once a year or so, I figure its bound to happen sooner or later.
