So four of us are going and we've got about 200 glow sticks that we're hoping to bring in for some glowstick war action.
Anyone else bringing glow sticks? If so, any idea whether we'll actually be able to get in with them? Or if there's anything special that we need to do to get them in? I'm just thinking that since it's MSG, it might be more difficult.
If you throw any at the band I will hunt you down and throw 200 glowsticks directly at your face.
I have been to 4 MMJ shows in the past year. Have not seen one glow stick. The crowds have not been exactly the kind that would welcome you throwing them around. Hopefully for the rest of the crowd you will get busted trying to smuggle them in.
GLOW STICKS NEW YEARS 08 MSG WERE AWESOME !!! more glowsticks the better
you should have no problem hiding them in your Jncos
i'm pretty sure NYE 2008 a lot of the glow sticks were thrown in from the bands side of the guard rail once they started playing move on up. so i'm guessing it was their idea.

Not normally a violent person, but I'll agree with this. Throwing stuff at others is not nice, not nice at all.
You guys are lame. You clearly never went to Bonnaroo or the Terminal 5 shows. Obviously you weren't with the band in the beginning. Band wagoneers. You're probably here for Band of Horses.

broski..
the glowsticks didn't come until night 4 (Z night)
put em in your junk.
worked for phish MSG NYE...will work tonight...will work in 2 weeks.
Please don't bring em. This ain't bonnaroo. We don't like bass nectar. And you just referenced two super recent events. Nothing from "the beginning".
Oh my god why is there a thread called Glow Sticks in MSG.
Because the boys have arrived. And so have the bro's. :-\
;D

Says the bro with 3 posts... ;D
Fuck glowsticks, no offense. More especially, fuck them at concerts.

I've been seeing them since the beginning and I didn't see a glowstick until show 30 something, 2008 I believe. I can assure you that they don't appreciate getting hit in the face with shit while they're rocking out. Imagine that
I'm usually not a fan of them. But, there were a bunch at Alpharetta and people just threw bunches of them straight up in synch with parts of certain songs. It was sort of neat but every once in awhile they made their way onstage.
Never understood why you would throw something hard at someone you just paid money to play live music. Drugs I guess.
You're the same people who win all the Phish lotteries and subsequently ruin Phish concerts.

I thought the hippy jam scene birthed the glow stick nonsense. Pretty sure it wasn't Metallica ;)

Maybe, but it was probably some Guster bro who totally heard that poker song at the frat house when he smoked his first j and became an instant Phan

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
After reading all these post, I feel bad for being associated with glowsticks at Alpharetta. So here is my apology to everyone that I may have annoyed. In my defense, it was my first MMJ concert so I was kind of new to the whole experience (which was one heck of an experience by the way!)

I was indifferent to them until I saw some assholes intentionally playing "let's see who we can hit with the glow sticks"
Glowsticks always get outta hand...they should stay with the candy kids at the electronic shows.
So, will the person who threw the glow stick that hit Jim late in the show please stand up? Lamey lame lameness...
Ugh, I saw a couple of those sad little sticks/rings on the stage. Weak.

This is why glow sticks should only be for 7 year old kids at Disneyland. No matter the intentions, some asshat always throws them at the band. Boooo on glow sticks at rock shows.
glow sticks do not work well at MMJ shows, they really have no place, especially when (it seemed like) there is only 50 in the whole place

I am uncertain that they work
anywhere... And what happens to them when they're done glowing, anyway? Those shits aren't just biodegrading!!! Don't mind me over here..... (http://www.deviantart.com/download/21025378/Tree_Hugger_Emoticon_01_by_phantompanther.gif)
well i guess they "work" at phish shows since they started there and works during their jams and lights... but yes the whole trash thing is a lot of unneeded waste for sure
pretty sure glowsticks didnt start at phish but yea they definitely work better there. i dont mind having 2, only 2, blue and green, on my left wrist at festivals. they are fun to watch at sts9, dubstep/electro stuff when those people launch million in the air, there is also no one singing..
They do not work with MMJ and Panic. Jim always plays it real cool when its thrown his way, JB(as nice as he is) always give that look "what the fuck kid"
One thing about Jim is that he shows love towards everyone, including ravers n candy kids, ive even read a comment of his where he doesnt mind the whole electronic craze that has been going on. He really just likes music and how it affects people, such a good person, gah.
right, well glowsticks at shows didnt begin with phish, but i am pretty sure throwing them all at the same time to start a "war" did... if it didnt then it was popularized at a phish show... i think a show at UIC Pav, if my history is correct...
Glow sticks made their debut at the closing ceremony of the 1976 Montreal Olympics. I am not sure if they were sticks yet, but I know they were the strand type you wear like a necklace. Just a little trivia.
I understand the argument here both ways but those glowsticks at Roo in 08 were pretty damn cool
I love the way Jeff Tweedy handled it at the Central Park shows...
he kinda stopped...and said 'okay get it over with...watch my face!' and people threw them up on stage at one time and he stood there with this annoyed look on his face...but basically shamed the idiots with the glow sticks (at WILCO?)
bacon---i agree...fine at a huge outdoor night time show like bonnaroo
one of my favorite moments of a MMJ show was at Terminal 5 and a large group of peope threw glow sticks up for the swell in Gideon. LOVED it!
this thread smells like n00b.

^^^This.
I'm all for people enjoying the show however they choose...so long as it's not bothering someone else, band and audience members included. Your good time shouldn't lead to someone else's annoyance.
i prefer to break them and throw the juice all over everyone's clothes.

I assume you're joking but if not please don't. They are a skin irritant and can get you sick. I played a show once and our percusssionist decided to break one open and put it on his bongo heads. He ruined his drums heads and the next day had rashes on his hand was was throwing up pretty badly. Actually that was the Jacketfest show, some peeps around here might remember that.
you ever been high on glow stick liquid maaaaaaaannnnnn???

and by "molly" you mean the bath salt kids are eatin these days :bath: ;D
the glowsticks at MSG were nowhere near as bad as they were at Merriweather this summer. And they spent most of the show throwing them at the stage and not straight up in the air.

It's this thing when you break open a glow stick and use it as an enema.
