This goes out a little more to the Metal/Hard Rock people -> if a hard and heavy act came to singapore, and a local, or unknown band opened for them but played covers you like or you liked their originals, would you headbang, mosh thrash etc to them already? Or just watch them..curious...as in, waht reception would you give em? Thx
 
lol, i dun think i'd discriminate based on whether they are local or not, famous or not, rather, if the music they play rocks(covers or not), then i'd get high already...

your band got a chance to open for a famous band? Like Westlife?
 
i tink it depends on the band and how they work the crowd.. and if u dun headbang and stuff i believe it'll at least get u pumped up and ready for ur idols..
 
I guess, when you talk about Singapore, most probably in this type of situation, the most probable scenario is maybe one or two would initiate to headbang or something to the band and then slowly the rest would follow suit. It's a classic peer pressure thing. But I think, the crowd would almost definitely lean to the headliners, if its in a big concert premise that you talk about. If I'm watching Slayer, I wouldn't have the patience to watch anything else before that, know what I'm saying?
 
What the opening band needs to do is just go all out. Practice hard in the jamming room and when the time comes, just release it all on stage. People will definitely notice. If the songs are just simply to heavy, people will surely release their tensions. Heh it be great if an opening act would actually start a circle pit.
 
Lol maybe they will stand still and just stare?

Opening band only i guess many of them is like 'warming up'.

I went to a metalcore gigs once and everybody was like standing still for the first few bands. Until one person like mosh or headbang then everybody follow lol. need to shake abit 1st! heuheue
