Be able to sing every song in the setlist. Even if you don't know every word by heart, be able to sing the melody and do a decent improvisation
on the lyrics.

Knowledge of tour traditions
---------------

1. During NLMDA, what do you do during the Aggro part?

a/ The Wave (tm).
b/ The Let's-See-Your-Hands (tm).
c/ The One-fingered Salute (tm).
d/ NLMDA? Isn't that the paedophile organization?

2. If they play Everything Counts, what do you do at the end?

a/ Sing the chorus, preferably four times.
b/ Uhm, like cheer or something?
c/ I dunno, I only have their "Violator" album.
d/ I usually leave well before the encores to beat traffic.

3. If they play JCGE, what do you sing when the song goes into a percussive part and Dave has the mic turned towards the crowd/you? (Hint:
see title)

a/ Holler the chorus of the song or listen attentively to all the nuances of Christian Eigner's drumming, cuz this is like the fifth time I see their show.
b/ Holler incoherently.
c/ Ask the guy next to you "Dude, what song is this?"

4. When QoT ends and Dave doesn't sing the last line, what do you do?

a/ Holler "It's just a question of time" and cheer when Dave goes "Yeah!"
b/ Boo him off the stage as a has-been who doesn't give value for money. I mean, I've paid 45 bucks of my hard earned money and that lazy ass Brit just stands there pointing the f-ing microphone towards the crowd?! He's lucky I didn't bring my gun!

Miscellaneous Etiquette:
---------------

1. If dM plays a song penned before '85, which of the following do you do?

b) Clap to the beat in happiness.
c) Float a blow-up doll around the crowd just to be crazy.

e) One or more of the above.

2. If you are located within 15 rows of the stage, you will:

a) Stand still kind of bored and keep wondering when they're gonna play that "Personal Jesus" song.
b) Try to start a mosh pit.

3. When a slow song comes on,

a) Have a whole conversation during the song with your friend trying to figure out who the silly, blonde guy is on stage.
b) Sing and/or clap. Melt to that vibrato voice.
c) Take this opportunity to go outside and get a snack,smoke, bathroom break.

4. Your reason to attend a dM concert is to:

a) Pass the time until a better band like Foo Fighters comes to town.
b) Get high and do acid.
c) Impress my significant other because they'll think I'm "deep" if I listen to dM.
d) party hard. A dM concert is a way to get togther with my fellow dM brothers and sisters to show our devotion and appreciation for the music.
