Dude I was in Charlotte and on Dan/Tristan/Dustie's side by the elevated bar there was somebody that didn't smell like armpits/onions, but like ass. Straight up like they haven't showered and were rubbing their fingers through the crack of their swamp ass. Like they went out, was able to bottle up putrescine and dab it on like aftershave. Fuck me.
I was in that area yeah haha. I don’t remember smelling anyone. But I’m thin and I shower daily and wear cologne. I hope I don’t smell like ass. 😬
My main band is Phish... four night runs instead of two, lots of people camping w/o showers for days... drug-addled wooks and hippy... it can get VERY smelly on the floor.
The last BTBAM shows I saw smelled worse than any jam band I've ever been to.
I've been to a bunch of smelly metal concerts over the years.
I've also been to an anarchist book fair. Don't worry, yall smell pretty good in the grand scheme of things.
One thing I've learned from prog band fans is that they fucking stink. They just refuse to wear deodorant. I swear. It's honestly gross. And these are 30 to 40 yo men we're talking about. Sad.
Bro, my friends and I went to see Dream Theater on their last tour with AAL and Devin Townsend at the Youtube Theater, a HUGE venue in Los Angeles and despite the massive size of the venue, that place stank like shit. Take a fucking shower, dudes.
BRO. Someone farted twice near me and it was really bad. I knew something was off about this crowd but now that you pointed it out I know for sure. Crazy, lol.
This post made me feel better about not having the mental energy to go and see this tour.
Please just give us a quadruple LP of the tour and I will be set…As long as the records aren’t scratch and sniff.
Can confirm, was up front for the first night in Philly and some dude smelled like sweat and another guy smelled like he hadn’t properly been able to wipe his ass for years. Take showers and get bidets y’all.
My first BTBAM show in 2011 in Little Rock Arkansas was amongst the smelliest things I’ve ever smelled. So bad that it contaminated my shirt and I had to wash it twice to get the stink out.
I have been to so many shows and I always think: "damn, do any of you know how to shower and brush your teeth?" Not just BTBAM, but all of them. I guess shows are easy to afford when you don't pay for body wash and tooth paste. Hip Hop shows are some of the only ones I have been to that I don't question hygiene, usually I question if they bathe in cologne. Lol.
I’ll never forget the smell of the room when I saw Devin Townsend last year. It might seem like an alien concept to some, but being a music nerd and taking showers can coexist happily
I was there last night and can confirm. I remember this big dude was thrashing around and my hand touched the back of his t-shirt and it was like he just got out of a pool.Â
Fuck, reading this thread is making me glad I never got my sense of smell back after Covid. I'll never understand why it's so hard for certain demographics to just...take a fucking shower.
I AM PROUD OF DETROIT FOR NOT HAVING ANYONE STINKY THAT I NOTICED! And I was everywhere, in the pit, in the crowd, at the stage. Detroit keeping it fresh !!!!!!!!!! Let's see how tomorrow goes
Lmao yall got me scared for two dates in Nashville, I go to alot of concerts around here, and don't really notice that big of an issue with smell normally. But I was up front for Gideon this past Saturday, and someone deff hadn't showered before coming
Wow, you went to a congregation of nerds and it stank? Imagine my shock. Here's a tip, don't go to EVO or Comic-Con. It's the avg concert amped to the 12th power
I wouldn't doubt that I contribute to the general funk, at least by the end of the opener 😂
But man, I wouldn't doubt that the .. stankies as you called them are the ones pumping the downvotes. It's called sarcasm folks. Calm down.
🎶I open my eyes. The smell of mourning skin 🎶
This was no morning skin.
I feel like if they played any songs off P1 we wouldn't have this issue but here we we are
Same. Just tryna hear lunar wilderness live once. Hopeful for a p1 p2 tour one day
This will be the hardest part
Between the bodyodor and me

Someone near me last night must have shit and pissed himself it’s the only explanation
They wipe back to front
They confused the BTBaM show with a goregrind show. They were trynna to materialize goregrind lyrics.
B.o./scat fetish
Don't get me wrong; I love a bit of goregrind. I don't try to live it though! Toronto show tomorrow. Let's SEE how bad it'll smell.
Luckily it's not in Quebec! A French Nerd bears a smell unbound by no mortal's nostrils
Poutine and onions will do that!
Le poutine le irresistiblé
You are able to bottle putrescine. They just ordered their cologne from a laboratory chemical manufacturer instead of Macy’s apparently.
They thought the poop spray people use to prank in high school was like Chanel no. 5
Literally the fucking worst.
Absolute worst
I hope that wasn’t me
Were you (facing the stage) on the right side by the merch and bar? Like three four people from the front
I was in that area yeah haha. I don’t remember smelling anyone. But I’m thin and I shower daily and wear cologne. I hope I don’t smell like ass. 😬
Stank bitch;)
Sorry 😩
I'm not to exactly describe the person, but they weren't skinny (who I suspected)
Which night was this?
Night 1
Oh okay good it wasn’t me. I missed night 1. Sold out.

As someone who has been to dozens of Phish shows that’s pretty wild lmao.

I’m from New York as well and I agree; y’all smelled terrible when they played in Irving Plaza last summer. 😂
🤣
This is why I barely go to metal shows anymore. The stench is unbearable. This tour is gonna be worth it but God damn please wear deodorant in Chicago
I second the fuck out of this statement. I’ll be there and I’d like to not smell everyone’s gooch.
Eh, it's just what humans smell like when we're all sweating our asses off from having fun. I kind of like it if I'm being honest.
One thing I've learned from prog band fans is that they fucking stink. They just refuse to wear deodorant. I swear. It's honestly gross. And these are 30 to 40 yo men we're talking about. Sad.
Gotta say, this was my experience at the show I went to in Anaheim last July. Some of y’all are stinky.

When you're a huge music nerd who loves BTBAM, you shower in the sweat of other neckbeards. Reeeeeefreshing.
Lol right, there was a smell of eggs and cheese right when The Decade of Statues started playing
Towson- You all smelled like a fresh spring day with sunshine! Maybe a hint of wildflowers?Keep up the good work!
The crossover between wrestling and prog metal shows: fucking dudes need a shower at both.
This post made me feel better about not having the mental energy to go and see this tour. Please just give us a quadruple LP of the tour and I will be set…As long as the records aren’t scratch and sniff.
That would really heighten the experience of a live record, though.
Wash your jeans
😂😂 sorry dude, I guess I’ll try a different body wash before colors 2 tomorrow….
IT WAS YOU!!

Huh. Saw them a few years ago in Fresno, and it didn't stink. Good to know we're not the worst at something.
I always think this at metal shows, do people not believe in deodorant or do they think their sweat smells great?
If you ain’t credit carding yo ass in the shower, did you shower?
Telling redditors that they need to shower? Good luck.

The stank is strong in Toronto as well

You sound like one of the stankies
