Are you one of those people that likes to talk throughout a gig? Then sorry, you don’t deserve to live. When I think of all the times I’ve been to watch a band, every single memory is sullied by the recalling of a buncha cackling idiots yelling toward each other. Think of the places for a chat. Pub. Front room. Restaurant. Street corner. Telephone. JUST DON’T F****** DO IT AT A GIG, RIGHT? Sadly, these brain donors don’t grasp the fact that, because the music is so loud at gigs, they have to up their volume to talk. The louder the band, the louder the moron.

Naturally, gigs are tricky enough at the best of times. Trying to get a good view. Putting the weight on one leg at a time to minimise the ache… but it’s all worth it. However, dealing with these clueless yappers is enough to make you stay in. Why on earth would anyone spend a tenner on a gig, only to talk all the way through it? I’d love to make a deal with the government so that all gig-talkers could be shot without fear of prison. Of course, I wouldn’t shoot everyone who talks at gigs, just the people who constantly twitter on. You idiots know who you are.
