To what Gobucks said, Yes...I think you go into a concert like this kind of expecting a certain amount of silliness that goes along with it. My guy and I just saw Staind at ROR along with a ton of other bands who lyrics would send the Klu Klux Klams into an early grave if their whining didn't do it before then. Songs including The Bitch is Back, Bad Girlfriend, etc. Hell the Pretty Reckless(Cindy Lou Who now rebelling) and Kid Rock was there and of course sang American Bad Ass. It's a pretty raunchy environment at times--at least the songs can be--and if you stay clear of the field, front and center, you are fine so gals can stay away from all that action. For the record, I have it on authority from my daughter's boyfriend that the mosh pit was not exactly friendly to guys either--many were shoved back in when trying to exit. It's a rough place to be--just don't go down in the field front and center and you avoid all the nonsense of the immature.
While I get it being objectionable to Aaron Lewis(who I happen to enjoy immensely as a singer), he signed up for tours with the kind of bands singing the kind of lyrics I mentioned serving a shitload of alcohol at shows. He went on the same rant by the way at ROR so not sure if this is kind of his schtik now if he sees it or not or what. I can tell you the same number of women being grabbed was at least equal to the ones testing their bead receiving acumen for Fat Tuesday celebrations and I'll leave it there.
What Rebel said, acknowledged. I think that was the case for my guy too when his oldest son came along--total change of lifestyle. It happens, but I guess sometimes people in it have to realize ethey might change but that scene doesn't change with them.
As a side note for the KluKluxKlams...I'll be seeing Theory of a Deadman(a band you all would hate who played at ROR too the same weekend as Staind) again in late June with my guy. Can't wait and I'll be singing along. Long live rock;-)
