I just stumbled across this thread and all it's greatness!  I will try my best to implement this protocol for my 2nd jacket show in atl.  how's this:
It's completely permissable to attempt to sing along to the senseless mumblings that is Wordless Chorus.  I cant listen to this song without screaming like an idiot...just me?

This thread is wildly entertaining!  ;D

If I may add one:

Always, ALWAYS wear sensible shoes, especially if you're planning on jumping up and down a lot. Your legs will thank you the next day.

(trust me on this, as my legs were definitely not thanking me today)
So, I do believe.....

Considering the new stuff... Can I add one?

43) When the first notes of HotBM are played, and then the initial screaming part takes place, be sure to tilt your head back, and scream to the heavens at the top of your lungs "Oh Oh Oh OhOH OH OH OH" etc. as if angels are coming down from the sky
and if all else fails, i'll come running back, wonderin where you went
with my heart.

This is my only negative one:

Glow sticks are not weapons to be used against the band; they are useless against the flying v

- or -

Never bring a glow stick to an axe fight

- and -

If you ever find yourself in a one-man mosh pit, don't


Look at me being all consistent nearly 3 years ago
I'm surrounded by assholes

That was lovely! 

Maybe a good one is don't be mean to the people in the parking lot at Red Rock or any venue who are getting pumped by listening to MMJ's Z but instead embrace with high fives and sweet dance moves.

That made the initial starting point of the extravaganza that was Red Rocks this last summer so cool, to hear a bunch of people just jamming out to their favorite MMJ album.  so very cool.  I can't wait to get the opportunity to take my dad to a MMJ show.
Can you keep it simple? Can you let the snare crack? Can you let it move without holding back?

This has been one of my favorite threads for years. Since there are several new people coming to the forum these days, I thought I'd bump this for them.

It never ceases to amaze me how much this band is loved by so many righteous people.  Love the rules - I think I follow must of them naturally.
I always love to add a note from a fellow jacket lover who once wrote after a show that his favorite part of the show was when they played Dondante and he realized when he looked around that he was not the only one crying.  Speaks volumes about how much this band means to people......................

Love Jacket Heads Love Jacket Shows!  Great List Sticky! 
Anytime your war gets out of hand, I'll take it on.

So at the last Seattle Paramount MMJ show, Dondante starts and my friend's like i got to take a piss and I'm dude you don't want to miss this.  we argued for a few seconds and then i said fine go piss. and he stood next to me grumpily but at minute ten man was he back into the show.  Then about a week later i found this thread.  SWEET!  any who that friend still owes me 60 dollars for that show...last time i take him to a concert.

how about....

1) don't go to a MMJ with band of horses opening (if you're a bigger BOH fan) expecting that the BOH are going to be on the same scale or anywhere near the mighty MMJ.

Damn Good Rule.  BOH are alright. MMJ ARE GODS!

It might possibly be the most unfair thing in the world that i can't go see MMJ right now.  Also hyperbole doesn't exist when your an MMJ fan.
