00:00Riff TV presents Meltdown's Meltdown.
00:07Hey guys, Meltdown here along with Haley, the Riff Rock Girl at DTE asking fans about the pros and cons of coming to see live music.
00:14Now the pros, of course, I mean, you know, seeing music with your friends.
00:17I love the outdoor concert environment.
00:20The cons, having people stand in front of you.
00:23Haley, these guys go to a lot of concerts.
00:25What are the pros and cons of seeing your bands live?
00:27It's always a bonus when it's an outdoor venue.
00:31Cons, honestly, I love concerts, so there's not a whole lot of cons.
00:35Just rain. That's it.
00:37Storm and Norman, what do you say? Pros and cons of seeing live music. What do you got?
00:40I got a lot of pros. You got a lot of good, heartful music, soul when you get there.
00:45And when you're listening on the album, you just don't feel it. You don't see it.
00:48When you see your idol in person like zombie, I mean, it's just everything's out the window. You're there.
00:54One main pro I love is spending time with family.
00:56There you go. This is your dad. What are you going to say? Pros and cons?
00:59Just about the same. The price of beer is outrageous, but I love seeing our favorite artists.
01:03Obviously, being able to see my favorite performers live is great.
01:08Cons, I was going to go with the tall people, too, because though I'm not that short,
01:12I always seem to have a big man in front of me, and I can't see anything.
01:16Just seeing them live, getting to have the memories.
01:18You get to hear your favorite songs live. They're performing right in front of you. There's nothing like it.
01:22You got the same thing, and it's just the fact that you also can compare from the record
01:27and then to them live in concert, and most of the time, it's better than the CD.
01:30So what do you say about cons?
01:32I like to, yeah, we like to stand up and rock out.
01:36I've, four times, I've been asked to sit down at shows.
01:39Yeah, I'm not sitting down. I paid good money to be here.
01:42Yeah, and you're like five foot two, so.
01:45Exactly, I am exactly five foot two.
01:47I tower over her, and people are asking her to sit down.
01:51Getting to spend time with all your friends and see your favorite artists live,
01:55and the cons would be the drinks are really expensive.
01:58The energy is just great, especially when you see somebody that's really moving around
02:04and stuff like that. It's just, you can't beat it.
02:06You can't beat seeing someone live, sweaty on stage, putting 110% into their craft,
02:16singing their songs, doing their whatever they do on stage. It's just amazing.
02:21All right, pros and cons, what do you say?
02:23Pros, going to a concert, beer, listening to music, aiming out with buddies,
02:28having a good time. That's pretty much it.
02:30The cons, going through security, having to wait in line,
02:33having to sit there and wait for somebody to get out of the way,
02:35and just, you know, not being able to enjoy the music.
02:38Nothing beats the energy at DTE.
02:41Nothing beats the energy here. The people are so hype. It's a lot of fun.
02:45Yeah, what about the cons?
02:46There are no cons. What are the cons to an outdoor live concert?
02:51There are no cons to live music, ever.
02:54Cons, being someone that's short, when you have someone taller in front of you,
02:58and you can't see the stage very well.
03:01I say the pros are just the camaraderie of the people, the music, the festive atmosphere.
03:08The cons are the people that are getting on those iPhones or their, you know,
03:13their cellular phones and posting all that social media stuff is what I'd say the cons,
03:18especially when they're right in front of my view.
03:20What do you say?
03:21Pros is definitely getting faced with good music.
03:24Like, cons is all the people that are going to potentially be throwing up on you
03:29while sitting on a hill.
03:31What if someone, like, spills beer on you?
03:33Drink it.
03:35There you have it, guys.
03:36Pros and cons of seeing live bands in action.
03:39Of course, there's more pros than cons, as we all know.
