While lots of people are polite concergoers, so many others just don't understand the basics of concert etiquette. Maybe you're that tall guy that blocks the view of shorter people, or you're the wasted guy singing the song at the top of your lungs. There's a reason people are giving you the stink eye, you know. Don't be that guy.

Arizona pop rockers The Maine can now add another project to their list of accomplishments: they've designed and scored a movie. Their short film, entitled In Darkness and In Light, is about young people creating an identity for themselves. Meanwhile, nothing says "awkward" like an old naked guy playing the piano. But that doesn't stop Sweet Pie from doing his thing. He's a 67-year-old boogie-woogie pianist that doesn't give a damn about what anyone thinks of him.

Plus we've got show previews for Night Ranger, Andrew Jackson Jihad/Destroy Nate Allen, Ruckus, Trapt, The Judds, and Infected Mushroom.
