I tend to think every action and word should be done and said with respect--respect for yourself, respect for your show neighbors, and respect for the guys (and gals) on stage. If someone's behavior infringes on my good time, that person will know. I'm not rude about it, just honest. I work hard for the money that I spend on trips to shows/show tickets and I'm not going to put up with someone treading on my good time, especially when I've spent the day waiting in line for my spot. As far as the singing aloud goes, I usually just mouth the words and audibly sing only when I KNOW it won't be heard by the people around me. I know people didn't come to the show to hear me singing the band's songs, so I refrain from belting it out. If I want to sing loudly, I'll do so in the privacy of my house, car, and/or office.
