I don’t consider myself old… or even much of an adult, but I feel like i’ve long outgrown concerts. It seems like all I read about is fans getting seriously injured and crowds of people too preoccupied video-recording instead actually enjoying the music.
Stop reading about concerts and start going to them. I just saw Lacuna Coil last night and had a blast. Most people weren’t on their phones either, save for during one song by the supporting band (New Year’s Day) where the singer specifically requested that everyone record it.
That’s just because “people enjoy music” doesn’t make a good headline. Concerts are still good; they’re just expensive.
The tickets for the upcoming Trophy Eyes show in LA are $20.
You should use the headline from the article.
You’re right.
By the rules, yes, but OP’s is much better. I hate the style of the actual headline. Just state the facts of the article, there’s no need to frame everything like a human interest story.
I use the one that gets auto-suggested. Sometimes I miss that it doesn’t quite match the headline in the article, and sometimes they change the headlines later. I don’t make up my own.
Their new sign will be “We Love (to Cripple) Our Fans!”
Crowdsurfing only works well if it is clearly telegraphed by the surfer, and willingly accepted by the crowd - think like an enthusiastic trust fall. Given that she’s 5’6, I can’t see how she would have been landed on full force unless there was basically no warning, or the rest of the crowd around her totally bailed (in which case no-one would jump)
‘Donated’ $5000 for breaking her back. Why not take up the medical expenses for a superfan?
I’ve never heard of trophy eyes before, but unless you’re a big act most of these bands take home less than say, a white collar job. And odds seem good they’ll get sued too. So I’m not surprised they’re not throwing cash around
They’re probably not worth that much. On a side not I looked up the band, as a fan of 70s British Punk, this band being “punk” flabbergasted me:
