I saw a bunch of rants about tall people at shows, too, which are always annoying. My husband has been hit/grabbed inappropriately multiple times by short people at shows because he's over 6 feet tall and they can't see over him, but it's not like he can help he was born that height? It's absurd. No he can’t help it but if he can easily see over a very short person it would just be a nice thing to let them get in front. So maybe the shows should just be in order of height and then everyone can see 😁 3 Quote

It's absurd. I mean I partly get it because some travelling fans are awful, but then plenty of locals are too. They're just less visible. The tall people rants are annoying too though. Like, where do you draw the line? I'm 5'7" and people expect me to move, but then there'll be someone I can't see over. I don't think "gtfo tall people!" is what Billie meant either, anyway 1 Quote

So maybe the shows should just be in order of height and then everyone can see 😁 This was at shows where you could barely breathe or move because everyone was wedged so badly (a New Found Glory show was particularly bad), let alone discuss moving spots with a stranger who you'd realistically be pressing your dick against for the rest of the show if you let them in front of you. Then he'd get accused of being a creep. There's no winning, whether you're short or tall, it seems. Also, the way to get what you want isn't to grab the person in front of you like an animal. They were nuts, slapping his back, grabbing his ass, ridiculous shit. Definitely a special case. 19 minutes ago, Kuromignonne said: Billie said that on Instagram...?

I think his post is awesome! Didn't look at the comments yet Quote
Marki. Posted April 24, 2018 Posted April 24, 2018 I like how nicely he worded that message... Not surprising people are going crazy in the comments though. When I saw that he also posted about the Longshot tour on @billiejoearmstrong again, I almost felt glad I'm across the world and don't have to fight for these tickets I really hope all of you who can go manage to get them! 4 Quote

Popular Post Hermione Posted April 25, 2018 Popular Post Posted April 25, 2018 I don't think he's even having a go at the people who've been at the front a lot. He's just encouraging others to get up front and for them to help them and general goodwill and unselfishness in the crowd, seems like a positive "the more the merrier" message rather than having a problem with anyone. 11 hours ago, AlissaGoesRAWR said: This was at shows where you could barely breathe or move because everyone was wedged so badly (a New Found Glory show was particularly bad), let alone discuss moving spots with a stranger who you'd realistically be pressing your dick against for the rest of the show if you let them in front of you.

I don't mind tall men who happen to be in front of me. I do mind tall men who (being big and strong) push in front of me even though they can already see over everyone fine, which is a common experience. Everyone who pushes in front aggressively is shitty but it's just even shittier when they also totally block your view lol. Just writing this makes me realise tall men who wait for the show to start and then use their size and strength to push in front of all the people who got there first and found spots where they could see are the number one worst people at GD shows . Even worse than people who block my view with a phone. This is probably why tall people get a bad rap even though it isn't all of them 6 Quote
pouty bitch Posted April 25, 2018 Posted April 25, 2018 I love that this is something that Billie actually thinks about. A lot of artists probably wouldn't give a fuck about who is at the front or not, and I doubt they'd even consider asking the fans to let some different people up front. It really is sweet of Billie to say that. 4 Quote
