Are Irish metalheads wankers?

[Mower Liberation Front]

Well I actually reckon that it could be over 99% if we're being pedantic about it, perhaps 99.5%+.



And probably dwarfed by the percentage of wankers would you get in Tallaght Stadium for a Rovers vs Rovers II game... 

New thread. Are 99% of League of Ireland fans wankers? 

No. The figures dropped dramatically once Limerick fucked off.

Don't worry Shamrock Rovers B Team will more than make up for it.

We are all wank

It's what you said.  You think that people are trying to out-metal you with their t-shirts and discussion of old and obscure bands.  In my experience, when I go to gigs,  I meet up with other metal heads who I probably haven't seen in a while,  we have a rake of pints (oppressive elitist pints by the looks of this thread) and catch up by discussing metal bands old and new.  If that is somehow offensive to someone else for some obscure reason, well,  I dunno... tough shit.  It's a metal gig!

I like when people bring up bands I don't know. A lot of the time I check out these bands. I got accused of being an "eletist prick" years ago and "not supporting the Waterford scene". Lamb of God and the like don't exist in my universe, I don't care if you love them. I'm also not turning out to see some loathsome toss by a band who think Slipknot are the apex of extreme metal.

Stall the fucking ball one second..THE WATERFORD SCENE?  Tell me more. Especially given how my not overly metal  half Waterford band couldnt get a gig in our hometown when we tried?

[uncle flacid]

I wouldn't say there is a Waterford  "metal scene" and if there is I could only imagine.....but anyway, I'm from Waterford,the west side (closer to Cork) and metal of all forms were and still are popular in these parts....maybe due to being close to Cork and how good things were and still are for gigs. Bands wise Waterford was quiet enough and handful of bands in comparisen to soome of the other counties.
Are Irish metal heads wankers? it probably has more to do with the people themselves being dopes rather than the music they choose to listen to.

[Blitzer666]

Jesus Christ, so some Nob jockey thinks that most of the Metallica crowd were metalheads? I reckon at the most, a quarter are metalheads, quarter rock fans, and the rest are 'big band,big stadium' show goers.

Metal gigs, especially small ones in Belfast are a chance to meet old mates that do or don't get out much, hit wetherspoons, get wankered, have a laugh, then hit the gig.
Most people are in great form, talking to strangers, getting along.
It's the 7ft, built like a shithouse, Europeans that are the mental fuckers at gigs, barging through the crowd, and that's just the women!!

I love metal, but hate 99% of metalheads in Ireland. Apart from a pretty tight circle of friends in the scene, I would usually socialise with childhood mates as I just can't be fucking arsed putting up with these saps. I have also recently taken to going to most of the bigger touring gigs abroad as between pint prices, taxi prices and these fucking arseholes, I'm just not enjoying myself.

It appears to me that your average metal fan is nothing short of a braindead luddite and I see this at most every gig in Ireland. Not only by the carry-on of them, but also the absolute backwards shite that they come out with.

Off the top of my head, some examples:

• "Fuck off you queer. Little faggot". Directed at my gay friend.
• "That fuckin' n*gger is the jacks". Directed at the guy cleaning your grease filled piss.
• The absolute head the ball that brought the dead bird to Mayhem last year.
• Telling a man in a suit that he shouldn't be at a Slayer gig and wasn't welcome.
• Some middle aged, fat baldy ape grabbed my girlfriend's tits at the YOB gig in Whelans a few years back. When confronted by my bawling girlfriend and furious self, his reply? "It was only a joke for fuck sake, calm down", to which his friends seemed to agree and looked bewildered that I was ready to burst the cunt.
• A chap trying to choke people at the Deafheaven gig in Whelans

So what do you think? Am I cranky old bastard or do you lot have any similar experiences to share?

With regards to the lad choking people at Deafheaven in Whelans. After a while I ended up fucking him across the room because he was going to end up getting a dig if he didn't stop. Seconds later the lads FUCKING DAD has me by the throat telling him to leave his young lad alone. Explained the situation to him and the da's response was "DON'T STAND UP THE FRONT THEN."

Yeah, mostly pricks. Bringing your da to back you up when you want to act the knob. Really metal.

[Eoin McLove]

Hang on,  was this guy 12 years old? 

[ochoill]

Is there anything more metal than bringing your auld lad to a Deafheaven gig to show him how you can choke lads?

[Kunt 4 Life]

Hang on, am I missing the terminology here. When you say choke do you mean he was literally going round trying to strangle people or is it slang for something else?

That is fucking hilarious really.
I definitely remember someone grabbing him and warning him, presumably yourself. Didn't see anything else unfold afterwards though and really hope you fucked the oul lad across the room too.

Yes, he was fat little fucker up the front that was grabbing any moshers that seemed to knock into him by the throat and either holding them in a choke or dragging them to the ground.

[Kunt 4 Life]

And the moshers were ok with this happening..?
Until Rick mcquick stepped in.

[RICK-MCQUICK]

I didn't grab him.  That would be Mr. Bogwizard. I stand on the raised bit in Whelans due to reasons outlined throughout the thread.
From what I seen, people just either couldn't believe it or were so caught up in being kvlt in this new wave of  Black Metal, that they didn't care. I do remember it being mentioned on the MI thread and Facebook event too
