Take That
Controversial, I know. The show was fucking fantastic. Shame I was surrounded by fucking TWATS.

We were surrounded by some right cocks on Friday.
Cocks and twats should be banned from gigs. In fact, I should personally vet all potential crowd members before they're even allowed to buy a ticket.

I'm with you there.
When we saw Elbow in Blackpool, the crowd was full of Manc cunts just shouting 'MAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNCCCCCCCCCCHIIIISSSTAAAAAH'. Gorgeous Mr G told them to stop it because they could be seen as threatening to other audience members.

were they of the
"oh, look, plastic bottles, clearly projectiles" type of twats?

The level of that going on on Friday astonished me, and I've been to some fairly shockingly rough gigs.

We had some of that on Saturday watching Idlewild.
Though the lead singer of The Twang got a trainer in the face. That made me smile, the Brummie wanker.

Sweet.
The problem at Blur was that ALL the booze was sold in placcy bottles, so at times it was like trying to watch through a swarm of large green locusts, to be honest.

I got hit by a thrown full glass bottle of Smirnoff at a Stereophonics gig in Swansea a while back. The Welsh know how to do violence properly. There's lovely.

It was the last gig at Morfa stadium before they tore it down
good gig, but a bit nationalistic*

Fucking massive fights, couldn't open my mouth for fear of being killed for being English and they played a montage of famous Welsh rugby victories at the start**

And I camped in a random field near Porthcawl so I could surf the next day and two pissed up valley boys in a nicked transit came within about 3 feet of killing me and the relevant missus at the time by rallying round the field at 4 in the morning. "we couldn't see the tent, boyo, it was green"

They were just all upset at having to be in Swansea.
It's a horrible place.

Swansea is quite rough.
I say this as somebody who's lived in rough places. It's genuinely a bit rough.

We had three brands of cock.
One fat cock who practically sat on my mate when the gig was still half empty and then got shirty when she suggested he might want to sit just a couple of inches further away. Another cock who watched the entire gig through the crappy little lcd of his fucking point'n'click camera and eventually had to be given a gentle talking to. And a small group who never tired of throwing plastic bottles. I thought they were the least cock-ish of the lot but they were clearly ruining the evening for a few delicate yoofs next to them. It was quite a good gig though.

Oh, it's not dangerous
it's just fucking stupid. I didn't go to watch to bands through as spinning green haze. But yes, excellent gig.

I would like to add "pricks with flags at festivals" to this list.
If you are so fucking terrified of losing your mates in a crowd then you should probably stay at home. Or be attached to your mummy by a leash.

I thought this about Glastonbury
Imagine paying a fortune for festival tickets, only to not be able to see the stage because some nob with a massive flag is stood in front of you

I think Auntie Beeb might be a bit hacked off with it as well
they had those super duper long range cameras set up in the engineers palace and all they could see were red dragons and hilarious captions.

Robbie Williams is pretty brilliant as well.
