6. The Setlist Adviser
You know what every band loves more than anything, more than their mom, more than baseball, hell, even more than free beers in the green room? When fans yell out the name of whatever minor hit(s) they've had. While everybody else probably wants to hear those songs, too -- I mean, presumably, that's kinda why they bought a ticket, yeah? -- unlike everybody else, the Setlist Adviser is verbalizing this desire. And, no, really, the band loves it. We checked. The guys say it lets them know who the true fans are. And so, anyway, when the band finally caves and plays the request demand, well, you know where that came from. You're welcome.

The most egregious setlist advisor I've ever seen was at a Nada Surf/ Impossibles show at the Creepy Crawl. This idiot kept screaming, "POPULAR!" He continued this after Nada Surf had finished their set and the Impossibles had taken the stage. At the end of an Impossibles' song, it all became too much. Gabe, one of the lead singers, reached out from stage and slapped the kid square in the face. The good guys won that night.

11. the girl who worms her way all the up to the front, only to whine about people invading her personal space, prompting the chivalrous male accompanying her to protect the delicate flower by forming an unshakeable and sneering fortress around her, smack in the middle of an otherwise lively crowd.

You almost got it right with the Sun Blocking Giant. It's similar to the chicks who sit on their bf's shoulders the entire concert - right in front of me.

I'm that asshole who came to see the show and doesn't want to be distracted by the dickbags around me.

#11 The Critic: He feels superior to all the other concert attendees because he writes for the weekly birdcage liner.
