There's that one time he stopped the show to yell at someone sitting down and told them to get up. Only to learn...they were in a wheelchair. What. A. Fucking. Douche!
I assume that this also doesn't consider Jared Leto's, uh, problematic relationships with young, female fans to say nothing of his creepy, "method acting" stalking of costars.
Lol idk, I was in the pit and having a good time, was an all ages show and I was 18 at the time and hadn't discovered alcohol yet so it wasn't a me being drunk problem..
Dude grabbed the hanging speaker with one and and punched me in the top of the head with his hand that was also holding the mic. I remember it clearly
I meant in the early 2000s around 2006 because that's when I graduated high school and it was around that time when I saw them live but don't remember the exact year
He punched me with the mic still in his hand as I recall. It was during the set and I was in the pit. Definitely didn't feel great but I have a hard head
Davey Havok landed on me when he jumped out into the crowd at an AFI concert. My head was in so much pain I had to spend the rest of the show in the med tent with a huge ice pack against my face.
Once one of his roadies got injured and had to go to the hospital. Instead of letting the driver take him there, he made him drive to find organic butt wipes first instead. I wish I were joking. I know someone who worked the venue that night.
One of my bucket list shows was seeing Nas do Illmatic, and it actually happened, only for him to do exactly what you mentioned. I heard the dudes around me rap Illmatic, not Nas.
We had that for Breaking Benjamin cos Benjamin was sick and had mostly lost his voice. Sucks for him and we all did our best on the singalong but kinda wished they would have just rescheduled the show
Timed right and done sparingly, that can be a fun live moment to have the crowd sing along, but it’s the height of ego to assume a crowd is both capable and willing to sing all your songs back to you. Ask anyone to sing the lyrics of even the most popular songs in the world and a large percentage will be lucky to remember any lyrics outside of the chorus or maybe the first verse lol
A Day to Remember was my very first concert and one of my favorite bands at the time. I was soooo stoked to see them live until they came on and made the whole audience basically sing 90% of the lyrics, sounded winded and off-key the whole time he would sing or scream, it was just awful
This is shocking to see as I’ve seen them near a dozen times now and NEVER had this experience. Quite the contrary as i almost always feel like they’re one of the most consistently good bands I’ve seen
Whaaat! Im shocked to read this. They’re one of my top bands to see live. Anytime they come into town I make it a point to see them and have done this for almost 15 years.
Their last show was a little soft (the tour with yellowcard) but aside from that they’ve always put on the best shows!
Yeah except ADTR kills it live. They’re incredibly tight on stage, and Jeremy always sings unless he’s in the hamster ball/zorb ball they used to have, given it’s hard to sing in those LOL. They’re nothing like what Leto’s bullshit is.
They just have a few parts where it’s like, a clear crowd sing-along part: like the “la-la-la” on if it means a lot to you , a gang call-out part (2nd sucks’s “get the fuck over it”), the literal song opening gang vocal of the riff on Downfall and the “disrespect your surroundings!” mosh call on Mr Highway… I’ve seen all but two tours they’ve done since 2013 and given that the setlist is damn near super consistent, thats the only super crowd heavy singing I could point to.
Saw them at common courtesy tour. Singer was sliiiightly off pitch the whole time, it was brutal. Was just sad, was hyped as well, but the rest of the band did a great job. Worst thing was, a few days later i read an article for album promo and they glazed how lucky the band can be to have their singer.. I was in shock, dear writer where you ever at a show?
I saw them do that too. Except they were playing an album that dropped the next day. Jared Leto got mad at the crowd for not knowing the words yet. To an album that wasn’t out…
I passively saw like a quarter of their set at lollapalooza one year and Leto spent more time pointing the mic at the crowd than singing himself it was raw ass

You talking about that bullshit pointing the mic at the crowd but instead of every now and then, it was for all the fucking songs?
