TOP TEN

10. Comfy clothes- yes yes those gothicky skirts may look cool, and your velvet may be cool when you are outside but inside it is a whole different story. Velvet long skirts-legs stuck together with sweat. I know ewwwwwwwwwww

9. Dangly jewellery- Mainly for girls but lads are included. Those long earrings or dangly chains may look fun, but the person next to you who keeps getting smacked in the face with them may not agree.

8. Pushing to the front- Pushing to the front may seem a good idea, but you'll just end up crushed against some smelly man name "Neville" who'll most likely try and grope you. Or security will haul you out and shove you at the back. Not good. Plus pushing past people- evil. They have been waiting longer and if you push in front you will get evil glares and/or stabbed depending on the artist playing.

7. Big banners- These are all well and good in places like the M.E.N but in small enclosed spaces all they do is block the view of the person behind you. This will result in shouting, ripping up of the banner and/or being stabbed depending on the artist playing.

6. Screaming Girlies- I know, you may think Lauri or Aki is the hottest thing since an Indian curry but having a girl (or guy if that’s your way of life) scream that down your ear for the rest of the concert is NOT GOOD.

5. Out of tune singing- It may be the easiest thing to do. Singing may not be your speciality but if you must sing "In the shadows " at 300 decibels do ensure you are in tune/ or at least know the words. Singing the "Oho ohoooo" bit over and over again will get you in deep trouble with the fan-girls or fan-boys(A fan who is so dedicated they even know how much the singer/band weighs and will defend them to the end, no matter if they are wrong or right)

4. Hear one song and decide you like them people- Yes you know who you are. The people who hear one song and decide on that basis to go and see them. If you must please invest in some of their earlier works so you know the other songs. The amount of people who only knew "In the shadows" at the rasmus gig was awful Just think you may have taken a ticket from a die-hard fan!

3. After-gig etiquette- You may be hyped up form the excitement of the gig but if you are going to traverse round a small neighbourhood afterwards, curtail the singing unless you want evil looks from neighbours at the next barbeque because you woke them up with a wonderful rendition of "Time to burn" at 3 in the morning.

2. Deodorant- Being a smelly hippie is all well and good at places like Leeds and reading you may think it is  cool. But it isn't in the middle of a crowded place. The person who has been shoved into your armpit may have something to say about it, well if they weren't lying on the floor in a coma.

And my no.1 tip for concerts is-Water bottles- I cannot stress the need for these enough, unless you wanna pass out at the end take a water bottle. And if you are passed one in the audience and some person is standing next to you and is dying. Do not tip it over you head, it is VERY VERY CRUEL!!!!!!!
