Glowsticks on this tour? Columbus?

[Bengals24]

I saw MMJ for the first time this summer and Bonnaroo and was amazed. Columbus will be my second show and I cannot wait. I was wondering if there have been a lot of glowstick wars throughout the tour? If so, the Columbus show is at an outdoor venue, so hopefully it will continue.

i heard about them at Louisville and Nashville, but haven't heard a story about them since.

glowsticks should stay at festivals or at home

glowsticks should stay at festivals or at home

Or at Kanye concerts.

[slappymoe]

throwing glowsticks at concerts is like doing the wave during sporting events.

they say, "you aren't providing enough entertainment, so i'll manufacture my own."

unnecessary, rude, and dangerous.

[xmascriminal]

There were some glowsticks in Detroit.

Well said Sir/Madam.

Glowsticks?!! Are you fucking kidding?!!

[Salacious D]

If I see anyone poised to throw a glowstick from anywhere around me, they will be fishing said glowstick from their nether-regions for the next week.

Glow stick are fun - so is dancing hella hard and talking to your friends during the show.

When did MMJ fans become so....lame....I mean shit, I would never spend my hard earned money on glow sticks - but they sure are fun to look at being paraded through the air during the climax of Gideon.     Actually it's not MMJ fans who are lame, it's just forum fans who think they're more entitled to the band because they own At Dawn/TTF Demo's that are lame.  If someone wants to throw a glowstick - let the fucker have a good time and throw a glowstick.  Maybe thats just how we roll West Coast! Berkeley! Werd!

I was so surprised to see people actually throw stuff on stage at the Detroit concert, which included throwing glow sticks.  I usually don't see people throw things at shows.

There's always two schools of thought on live music--those against glow sticks and those for them. Honestly, the first time I saw a glow stick war, I thought it was amazing. Now I realize that, particularly in clubs, they just don't make sense.

Clearly you've never been whacked in the face with a glow stick while you were, as you say "dancing hella hard," or watched a band member get one right in the hand or head. It's not cool. At all.

At festivals, when people are outdoors and throwing rings up in the air (and not at a stage), they don't seem to bother too many people. Indoors, in smaller venues, I think they're more trouble than fun.

I'm all about dancing hard at a show. I'd like to dance my arse off without having to worry about getting a projectile in my eye.

Different strokes, but seriously, if you HAVE to throw something, throw a ring.  And please don't throw anything at the stage.

i dig glow sticks at outdoor venues... especially at the climax of Gideon... i find it very visually pleasing...i think its lame to throw it at the band however...i mean even if you don't like glowsticks at shows how can u say you will be disappointed when the full on glowstick war erupts upon Gideon New Year's at the Garden :D

[ycartrob]

Having glowsticks bounce off the hands, legs and faces of the people playing music on stage is lame. Period. Now matter how much joy you derive from watching the pretty colors, they always end up hitting the people on stage at some point. In fact, some people aim for the people playing on stage. You know, hey, there's a guy on stage playing a guitar, I think I will throw something at him? That.

If you can focus long enough; put down your cameras and cell phones, not have to be "entertained" even more by flying, pretty colors, then the music is enough; it really is. But, you have to pay attention.

the music is enough (no, really, it is)

[Salacious D]

NO glowsticks
Please refrain from the throwing of glowsticks, as they are dangerous and can cause serious injuries. And frankly, they're so '97.

If anyone can tell me where the above quote is from, I will pay you a thousand Schrute bucks.

If I wanted to see glowsticks I'd go to the club, take some E and listen to really bad Techno music.

sounds like a good time to me...except the BAD techno part.  I would only go to a club & take some E if there was GOOD techno playing.  

PS: MMJ on E =  :o

Now that Phish is returning, can't all of their glow stick throwin' phans stock up for that show and leave all the other shows glow stick free?

Take your money, glow sticks, and drugs back to the Phish shows, please.  ;)
