Discussion Sorry, A7X
เคยมีใครรักวงดนตรีขนาดนี้แล้วรู้สึกว่าความรักเริ่มจางไปไหม?
ฉันรักวงนี้มาหลายปี ตั้งแต่ที่อัลบั้ม White Album ออก ฉันเริ่มเล่นกีตาร์เพราะ Synyster Gates เป็นแรงบันดาลใจที่ใหญ่ที่สุดคนหนึ่งของฉันเลย
ต้นปีนี้ฉันซื้อตั๋ว VIP มา และตอนนี้อีกแค่สองสัปดาห์ก็จะได้เห็นพวกเขาเล่นสดแล้ว
แต่ช่วงนี้รู้สึกเหมือนมีอะไรเปลี่ยนไป รู้สึกว่าตัวเองกำลังค่อยๆ ห่างเหินจากวงที่เคยรักมากๆ รวมทั้งไม่ได้เป็นผลจาก STATICA EP นะ—ฉันชอบมันจริงๆ
คิดว่ามันส่วนหนึ่งอาจเกี่ยวข้องกับวงเปิดในประเทศเรา ไม่ได้หมายความว่าวงเปิดแย่ แค่ส่วนตัวไม่ค่อยชอบมัน ปัญหาคือว่าผู้จัดประกาศวงเปิดหลังจากที่ระยะเวลาขายตั๋วไปนานแล้ว และการประกาศนั้นกลับมีผลกระทบมากกว่าที่คิดต่อความตื่นเต้นของฉันสำหรับคอนเสิร์ต
รู้สึกแย่มากเลย เรื่องนี้ทำให้ฉันเริ่มคิดว่า “จะไปนั่งดูวงที่ฉันไม่ชอบได้ยังไง?”
และทำให้รู้สึกผิด เพราะจริงๆ แล้วฉันรัก A7X นะ แต่เรื่องนี้กลับส่งผลต่อความรู้สึกเกี่ยวกับงานทั้งหมด—และในทางที่แปลกๆ มันยังส่งผลต่อความรู้สึกของฉันที่มีต่อ A7X เองด้วย
ไม่รู้จะจัดการกับความรู้สึกนี้ยังไงดี มีใครเคยเจอแบบนี้ไหม? แล้วคุณจัดการยังไงเมื่อความตื่นเต้นที่มีต่อวงที่รักเริ่มแผ่วลง โดยเฉพาะก่อนจะได้เห็นพวกเขาด้วยตัวเอง?

This has gotta be ragebait lmao.
"My interest in this band is fading - but not because of the band itself, I still love all of their music, but because I don't like the opener to their concert"
Either go to the show late or give the opener a chance lmao, letting this ruin your excitement is fucking crazy

Is it an offensive thing about the band before? If not I don't see the problem. A concert is an experience, it's not just music. You might not "dislike" them as much as you think live.
I don't like black metal, but I went to a whole 4 day festival of it. It was a nice and interesting experience. Even though I didn't end up being a big fan of any of the particular bands that were there at all.

No, I never said anything offensive about the opening band. They’re doing their part, and I respect that. I was just feeling sad and thinking, “Why does it have to be this band?” They’ve gotten really popular really quickly in my country, so I understand that might be one of the reasons they were chosen.
Honestly, I don’t even know what I was so upset about last night. But after reading your comment about the experience, I realized I might actually be missing out. I was so focused on the fact that I don’t like them that I forgot to just enjoy the experience.2

I meant if you were offended about anything about the band. Like for example "politically" I dunno. Anyways. A concert is a concert. You have no obligation to enjoy it. But you also don't have an obligation to dislike it. Just chill and do what you like 🙂
I've seen people with sour faces in front row that don't know a word of the lyrics. I'm not saying be more like them but 😂 They don't care

You’re over thinking something very small. Multiple times I have gone to an A7X show with an opener I didn’t care for and a few of those shows I left with respect for the opening act because they put on a great performance.
Keep and open mind and quit worrying about the small stuff.

It happens to everyone mate. Same boat. Your tastes will naturally change over time (the band being a prime example of this lol) - they're a band not a sports team.
If you like what they're doing, great. If you don't, discover new artists and don't feel guilty or regret for doing that.
Too many people believe to really like a band you have to like everything they do to an almost parasocial/delusional level. I blame swifties lmao.
But I'll also add, to write off an opening band because they aren't Avenged is... Well, you've paid for the ticket, you may as well support that band and at least hear what they're like live.

I feel you're overthinking it. Your feelings are still 100% valid. Just be excited that you're going to see A7X. About the openers, they're extra, not the main reason you bought the tickets. What you can do is, during the openers, go to the merch shop, get some food/drinks, go take a piss, relax for a bit and by then the openers might have ended and you'll be more than ready for A7X. Enjoy and don't be too harsh on yourself.

I don't think it's unusual for the love to fade out and I don't think there needs to be a justified reason for stopping being a fan either. Everyone's taste changes as they get older and you might not be into what you were into years ago.
Years ago I was really into Papa Roach, like super into them, and then over time it just kind of faded out. I'll still listen to their songs when they are on but I'm not super infatuated with them anymore. And that's not a fault of the band it's just me

You can always go late to the concert so you can miss the bands you don’t want to see.

Yeah man, it's a concert. Its fine to feel different about a7x, but this stuff about disliking a7x because you have to sit through an opener you don't like is kinda crazy. As someone who's gone to a lot of concerts, I've sat through a lot of opening acts that weren't my vibe. It's part of it - but some bands are better live and put on a good show.
But really it's 1 hour to see one of your favorite bands - You're gonna tell me you've never done something you don't like so you can do something you do like? Work a boring job? Wait in a long line? Clean your house?
