Tall guy at the Arcade Fire show

Damn straight! I can't stand all the whiners that complain about tall people at concerts. Not our fault you are genetically inferior.

yeah but you can see more anyway stand back or to the side. you are abnormal not us....

set list please?

Setlist:
01 Sit Down Tall Guy
02 Tall Guy Ruined My Show
03 Ten Feet Tall (XTC Cover)
04 My Legs Too Long
05 Hey Stretch
06 Forgot My Platform Shoes
07 Girlfriend on My Shoulders

It was a short show.

tall people want to get up close too 4:09. alls fair in a crowd

NYCTAPER...you're a genius...hilarious! LOL!!!

i think he was at daft punk too

he could rent out his shoulders. the equivalent of box seats in a crowd like that.

Nice! It's about time us tall people "stood up" for ourselves! Hey, I'm 6'4" and I usually have a great view of the stage no matter where I am, but our sacrifice is our hearing. When I dip my head down below the average height level there is a huge difference in the sound level. So, shorties, at least you'll save your hearing while we watch the show and increase our tinnitus.

Great show!

(For those of you both short and stupid: http://dictionary.reference.com/search?r=2&q=tinnitus)

Uh, the tinnitus wasn't just limited to tall people.

Anyways, as a short person (5'1"), I just did the smart thing: got there early and got a spot near the front. And stood on my tippy-toes a lot. But I feel like we have a much easier time shoving our way to the front as I fall under general eye level of a lot of people anyways and slip through small cracks easily.

He looks like a dork. Win could probably house him in spite of his height.

he was also at the daft punk show. he was wearing the same shirt...

this guy kept feeling the need to clap his hands over his head...that was really annoying

Set List (Revised)

01 Gonna Grow Up One Day
02 I Can't See Nothin
03 The Down Low
04 Hey Shortie
05 Blue Suede Shoes (Size 6 Remix)
06 Oops, I Didn't See You There
07 Tunnels

Win's a prima donna who calls hand checks as fouls. I'd house him next time if he'd stop calling crap-ass, imaginary touch fouls.

Not my fucking problem you grew to 6' 8" have some courtesy, tall people in the back, what you can't see from there you are taller!!!!!!!!
"not my fucking problem" = typical hispter attitude.
Learn some courtesy......

You guys dont know the deal with dickheads like that guy wearing the shirt. So easy to deal with. You wait till the crowd starts moving and you either slam into him or take him out by his knees. These jackoffs are so easy to bring down. But a guy like that wearing a shirt like that is the kind of guy who usually gets punched in the face

go tall guy go. damn straight it's not your fucking problem.

go tall guy go. damn straight it's not your fucking problem.

Ha I saw this guy at the show and I thought it was so funny because im 6 4

Gotta love all the tall people haters! Blame Mother Nature, not tall people. Maybe you will grow some day if you stop whining.

ya know what they say

tall man, little dick

When did BrooklynVegan become mouthbreather central?

good for tall guy.

stand in the back? pffff
wear heels.

just because we are tall doesn't mean we have binoculars for eyes

Good for him! It's Randalls Island, there's plenty of room. If you don't like it, just move. He has every right to enjoy the show wherever he stands.

Doesn't look like he's pushing his way to the front, so take your anger elsewhere.

I think some of the anger is not really because of his height but more to the fact that he is being a dickhead about it wearing that shirt. Like it was said above, if ya see this cocksmoker at a show wearing that shirt you can
a) slam him to the ground when it gets crazy
b) punch him in the mouth which he deserves
or
c) just "accidentally" spill beer all over him.

"ya know what they say

tall man, little dick"

That makes complete sense: a tall person will not have every body part in portion. A tall person will have long arms, but a short penis. Makes total sense.

Envy gets you nowhere. Not only do you see nothing at concerts, but women as a FACT prefer taller men. Not every women, but most. It is Darwinism, women want the genetically superior taller person due to evolution (the strongest survive). Most presidents have been tall. Tall = power.

"Most presidents have been tall. Tall = power."

maybe manute bol should be our next pres then.

A concert isn't just about seeing.

Placement at a show completely changes your experience of it.

Let tall guy stand where he will.

I can totally disprove your tall guy-small dick theory. I can just e-mail you my number and we'll take it from there.

10 inch cock

not my fucking problem

If that guy ever comes to a TX show...it will be his problem if he gets in front of me. Courtesy is still alive in the South.

Go ahead people...start the DONE redneck jokes...but this guy could get to the side at least.

i'm afraid it is his problem. sorry to break it to you about life, tall guy. sucks, i know.

HAHAHAHAH you just knew the tall guys with the small dicks were gonna come out of the woodwork on this one to declare how big their members are. HAHAHAHAH, now who has the envy

You fucking idiots. You are so transparent.

I'm 6ft 6 and get really annoyed about the abuse i get in crowds. I think that if you are in position from the start of the gig then others can move around you, I can understand if you stroll in half way through and get in the way. I'd be pissed off too...

I guess you just have to train your bladder though....

I am tall, I even wear boots to most shows that add a few inches. The thing is, if your short and you cant see, move over 6 inches. It's not that hard and its all you have to do. If you were tall you wouldn't move to the back just because, trust me. Don't expect everyone else around you to make things easy for you, sometimes you have to do it yourself.

I have had several people hassle me when they decided to stand behind me. I feel for this guy and its probably why he has this shirt. To many crybabies out there these days.

What do mean 'get to the side'? Should he watch from the bus station? It's a gigantic outdoor venue.

ha, short people are just bitter because they can't see, they have small dicks and don't get laid. the fact of the matter is shows are for the fans, either show up early and get a good spot or make your way past my 6'5" frame. and another thing, i'm probably your father and i have a pair of your sister's panties in my drawer at home.

oh and 'southern Shorty', I'm from the south, I'd love to see you try to get me to move to the side.

Happy Columbus Day.

"either show up early and get a good spot or make your way past my 6'5" frame"

I agree, if you know you are short, then just show up early. Duh. It's really that simple. I don't stand all the way up front (I leave that task to shorties, teenagers and crazy fanboys), but I sure ain't gonna stand in back either. Like some else said, blame Mother Nature you got screwed, not me.

Was that t-shirt made by Snerko? Sure looks like a Snerko to me.

umm i believe Ron Jeremy is about 5'8 or 5'9 which would really shoot a hole through your comment about short people not getting laid a lot and having small dicks.
As for all this other posturing..please you are probably a pussy at shows. Big talker behind a computer.
Once again the accidentally spilling your beer all over these fuckers or one of the other methods moves them out of the way in a second. I have done it a few times and it works like a charm. They crumple easy.

easy to see here why I rapidly lose my interest in attending live shows, the audiences is just composed of short and tall assholes.

"As for all this other posturing..please you are probably a pussy at shows"

I believe you are the one that is posturing. What is the next show you are going to? Let me know if you are going to The Giraffes show tonight.

It's terrible when your're stuck behind someone tall & grossly fat. Cant see anything at all.

This is great. I hate short people who whine. Take some growth hormones!!

Guess what, I paid too much for this show too, but I CAN SEE THE BAND!!!

damn tall hipsters, they ruin everything. such a typical hipster attitude, i agree. he probably owns property in the city as well, and is squeezing out artists and other small business's by raising the rents every year. friggin tall, hipster, rent raising, corporation loving, artist hating dick!

how do us cool (but non-hipster) people even get by nowadays?! it is getting sooo difficult.

...and don't even get me started on the Jews!

Tall guys everywhere (including me) urge you short people to take this poser down. He embarrasses us.

9:01 is right, the knees are the place to start. Tall guys know how to not block the show, and we can see from literally anywhere (I have no idea what its like to not see at a show) so if we're blocking you just step in front of us and we will know what's up and make room. Wrrrrrd. But be advised most of us are at the show with the tiny girls in our lives so we have to stand where THEY can see.

11:31-

"how do us cool (but non-hipster) people even get by nowadays?! it is getting sooo difficult."

I hear McDonald's is hiring. That is, if you're ready to stop leeching off of your parents, wash your greasy hair, and finally join real society.

I'm 6'4 and it really doesn't matter where I stand.
The last two concerts I went to I still had to deal with you arrogant little fucks.
At MC Chris it was a really small venue so I sat in a chair in the back but some little person was pissed that I was in the back on a chair because apparently the chairs should be left for little people who can't see so they can stand on them so I moved to the fucking corner.

Next show was at Blossom in Cleveland. Blossom is huge and I was seriously about 200 feet from the stage but these short high school kids litterally screamed in my ears at the top of their lungs with their hands cupped towards my ears for a good 1/2 hour. Was there plenty of room in front of me? umm...yea.... 200 feet!

btw, julio, if I ever see you at a show and you throw beer on me in your little fit of napolean rage, I will stomp the living fuck out of you. I go out of my way to be considerate but as somsone above put it, many of us have little girlfriends. Mine is 5'2 and I'll be damned if I'm gonna leave her alone with a pack of guys like you to be groped on when "when it gets crazy" or to be stuck in the middle of a punching match when some asshole like you turns a fun time into a fight.

Worse part about being tall at concerts: crowd surfers. My head is always sticking out and getting rammed. Besides that, it's great. Girlfriend is very tall as well, so when we are side by side at a concert, natures rejects behind us can't see much.

lmao 11:48

lmao 11:48

Let me remind you why we go to these shows in the fist place...THE MUSIC...remember that? All the shirt is, is a way to let the poor dude enjoy the music instead of getting interrupted by some fratty jerk who is too busy trying to "slam him to the ground when it gets crazy". So please folks, love thy neighbor and most importantly pay attention to the musicians you paid too much money to go see.

Although I'm tall, I'm not the guy in the t-shirt. But, I have to say that you should probably not push a taller person. They are most likely bigger/stronger and have several years of bullying under there belt. It's fine and dandy to display your Napoleon complex in cyber-space, but please do not start fights in real life. It's a big difference and you will get hurt.

"Anonymous 13" - AMEN from the vertically-challenged side of the aisle as well.

"easy to see here why I rapidly lose my interest in attending live shows, the audiences is just composed of short and tall assholes."

Clearly....

Ok... so... you have a pair of your daughter's panties?

hey folks,

got news for you. if you're reading this, you're a hipster.

I'm of average height. If someone taller than me stands in front of me, I either move or deal with it. If you're shorter than me and wind up standing behind me, you have the same options. Please don't ask me to move.

A good way to calm me down when that happens is that I imagine a giant spinning buzz-saw set at the height of 6 feet. Anything over that gets a bloody lopping off of head or torsos.

It could also be used as a haircutting device for the 6 footers sporting the trendy white-boy afros.

pfft i'm taller

lame comments section

not my fucking problem

i love that bv commenters are finally dropping the pretense and actually comparing the size of their dicks.

14 inches btw!

Oh please, very tall people are the easiest to take down. Big Tree, Fall Hard and Easy for that matter. It goes with their small dicks and their joint problems later in life. I agree with an above poster though how hilarious it is that these dorks now are listing their dick size and the fact that they have gf's. Pathetic.

Oh and Charles and any of you other tall computer tough guys. I am only 5'9 but i will be at the High on Fire show tonite wearing a Melvins t-shirt with a tat of the Black Flag symbol on my arm exposed. Please come see me and let us see how tough you tall guys really are.

losers,

i'm short,

i have a small dick,

but i am filthy, filthy rich.

You know what they say:

The bigger you are, the harder you fall.

Keep up the shitty attitude and someday someone is gonna club you in the knees while the rest of us laugh at "your problem."

An asshole like this would get beaned in the head with a rock if he was standing in front of me.

Wait, did you just voluntarily admit that you are "only 5'9 but i will be at the High on Fire show tonite wearing a Melvins t-shirt with a tat of the Black Flag symbol on my arm exposed" ?

Holy crap you are a meathead. That's like a trifecta of humorlessness.

short people bitch about being short and tall people bitch about being tall. that's life.

dudes shirt is funny.....for a about a second. In reality, only those over 6'8 may really appreciate it.

Seriously though, if you cant see JUST FUCKING move, people who complain about this shit are seriously lazy

i love that shirt.

this is practically my life, guys. being over 6'4 shouldn't be an automatic disqualifier from being within 40 feet from the stage...

I could swear that shirt is a Snerko. Or it's a total ripoff. The Snerko guy is tall come to think of it.

Tall guy strolled right up in front of me before Arcade Fire's set. The picture doesn't do justice to how tall he actually is when you are 5'10" and standing behind him. Luckily I worked my way beside him so I had a reasonable chance of seeing the band. Oh, and by the looks (and smell) of what tall guy was smokin' I'd say he was having a good time, regardless of what others thought of his t-shirt.

this is why I carry a snub nose when going to concerts in this city during the past eight years or so.
I love that lil thing.

yeah i get hassled about this sorta shit and i'm 6 ft tall, come on, thats not that bad! I agree, if you start moving around halfway thru the show thats unfair. but if you stay in the same place from the start, ppl should be able to move around you if they cant see anything.

i'm 6"4- with terrible eyesight (even with glasses) so if im at the back i cant see the show. I also go to shows with my girlfriend who is 5"1 who cant see unless she is at the front- we get to the shows early so she can get a view- sure, i do let some poeople in front- but what am i supposed to do? You have to be reasonable- theres nothing worse than having someone kick you in the back of the legs- especially if its someone who arrived really late for the show- dude ive been standing here for three fuckin hours- it really isnt my problem anymore...

Listen, i stand in the back at every show 'cause i'm 6'6", but salute the man for standing wherever the Fuck he pleases. I'm sick to death of getting daggers in the back of my head from tiny pussies who can't just say "excuse me" and politely move ahead of me... and then post some shit about how they're gonna throw rocks or whatever. Really, move to the front and start a mosh pit AT THE FUCKING ARCADE FIRE SHOW.

You guys need to settle down. The dude paid for his ticket, let him stand wherever he wants. So he's sick of getting crap from everybody and makes a funny shirt - lighten up.
