Anyone Care to Answer a Question?

Well, I'm writing a five page paper on metal concert culture in particular. What I want, though, are quotes from the fans. I was wondering if you could answer a general question to help me.

What makes metal concerts so appealing to you?

It's like sex for my ears and neck.

The atmosphere, feeling the music live. You can play a cd as loud as you want, but when your sitting in from of a stack of amps there's nothing like it. The excitement of seeing bands I love performing right in front of me.

The exchange od adrenaline and emotion between the fans and the band. The world suddently stops and feels alright for a second..

I know what the songs sound like on cd, but what I look forward to is the unknown...how will the band differ from what I expect, and what kind of crazy shit will go down as well.

Being around so many other metalheads, the conversations you have before and after the show, the friends you make, the old friends you catch up with. All of this is another great thing about going to a show.

The energy you get from being RIGHT FUCKING THERE infront of the band in a group of people who share the same love for the music you do is awesome.

Also getting drunk and listening to metal rocks.

This is a big factor as well. Some of my best mates I met randomly at gigs.

The energy and feel you get at a live concert is unlike any other. It really is one of those "have to be there" experiences.

I like seeing hot metal chicks...


and seeing a really good band live is fucking amazing. The energy is like nothing else.

the atmosphere, being around people that you know could possibly have alot of things in common with yourself, the excitement and hype that comes usually with seeing a kick ass band perform live right in front of your eyes (especially when its some band you really like aka worship) and the beer and metal merch that you find all around

in short...

Thanks for your help, guys! I used a couple of the quotes here and they actually worked well in making the entire paper flow. It's still not too great of a paper since it forced me to source things as common as the origin of the devil horns, but I'm done with it and that's all that counts.

To use my quote it will cost you $100.

Damn, I'm to late it seems.
