And I don't have to listen to their junk when I've already found out enough about them. It shouldn't have to take an Einstein to figure out that you don't have to try absolutely everything to the fullest before you know you don't or won't like something. It's called having some sense in your head. "People in general need to get over themselves and their own particular issues " No. People need to realize that they should not impose their behavior on those who don't want to be around it.

And nothing is being imposed upon. It's not like they are setting up shop in the Hyperion with a bunch of 5 year olds chained to their seats and their parents in leg irons who are forced to gnaw off a limb to escape. This is a paid venue, that is often only open to a select age group, and not some unwitting public. >>> Unless they are milling about DTD.>>> Odds are Jonvn, you HAVE been around them, and you never knew it. Know why? Because people that enjoy something that you obviously do not like actually, can, and do behave properly in public. Most music fans are not defined by their taste in music. I know plenty of persons that like all of the "right" kinds of music that are most disagreeable indeed. I won't get into any kind of flamewar, particularly on laughingplace, but I do find your aggressiveness on this subject intriguing. I mean, if a group of people ruined your experience once, great. Understood. Lots of groups get tarnished by the acts of a few jerks. On the other hand, if you are bringing some bias against a genre that you don't like, and feel far superior to, well then the discussion is really one way. Your way. Personally, I'd rather hang out with the spooky kids than intolerant "normal" folks any day of the week. To each their own I suppose. As long as they don't feel that their thoughts and opinions are gospel.

Junk is junk, and I am glad to see Disney taking a step to make sure garbage stays away from our Disney areas.** TOTALLY subjective. After all, Jon is a cantankerous old guy. :p However, I do agree with his point that the "death metal" element showing up for some of these kinds of shows does not bode well for the atmosphere in Downtown Disney. They're not just going straight to the show and straight back, they're probably gonna hang out too, and that's not the type of folks you'd normally expect to see in large groups at Disneyland. So, I'm torn here. While I think it's cool that HoB has various acts, I can see why they'd want to keep away the most extreme shows that tend to attract the most extreme fans. Question is, where do you draw the line?

A Sept. 7 show featuring MACHINE HEAD, ARCH ENEMY, THROWDOWN and SANCTITY, booked two months earlier, was moved on two days' notice from the House of Blues in Anaheim's Downtown Disney entertainment complex to the Glass House in Pomona. Thursday's concert with CANNIBAL CORPSE, THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, THE RED CHORD and THE ABSENCE, originally slated for the Anaheim House of Blues, was moved to the Galaxy Theatre in Santa Ana. A Sept. 26 Anaheim House of Blues concert featuring OBITUARY, ALABAMA THUNDERPUSSY, FULL BLOWN CHAOS and HEMLOCK has been canceled outright. At the House of Blues in Orlando, Fla., on Disney World property, a Sept. 17 concert of the MACHINE HEAD lineup has been moved to Club Firestone in downtown Orlando. The same action has been taken with the Oct. 11 CANNIBAL CORPSE package. Asked about the scheduling changes, John Vlautin, vice president of communications for Live Nation (formerly Clear Channel), the concert-promotion organization that owns the nationwide House of Blues chain, issued a statement Thursday that said only: "House of Blues offers a range of entertainment to match the audience at our venues. It was determined that the mix of entertainment at our two Disney locations should be different from our other venues." Vlautin declined to comment on why metal bands have been singled out after years of similar bookings or whether other metal events already scheduled, including SUFFOCATION, EDGUY and STATIC-X, will be affected. Rob Doughty, communications vice president for Disneyland Resorts, declined to comment, referring inquiries to Vlautin. Paul McGuigan, concert promoter at the Anaheim House of Blues, also declined to comment through a club spokeswoman. The Walt Disney Co., through Vlautin, issued a short statement Thursday that included no specifics about the shifts of the metal concerts: "In consultation with Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, the House of Blues will provide a mix of entertainment for guests visiting Disney Resorts." <<

I'm not interested in being tolerant of people or things I personally find distasteful or repugnant. I don't have to tolerate these sorts of things, and I have no intention to start. Everyone is intolerant at some level. Those who wish to embrace a gutter culture, fine. My tolerance level is such that you can go do it elsewhere, and not invade a family place.
