What Makes A True Live Fan, What is your criteria? Options

[Hoodstock]

I saw this post in another thread:

I agree. SOY is full of dumbass wannabe fans.

which leads me to the question, "What criteria does somebody have to meet in order for you to consider them a true Live fan?"

My list of minimum requirements would be:

- Has been to at least 5 concerts (at least one not at the nearest/most conveniet venue).
- Owns all of the bands albums (including Radiant Sea and Awake)
- Owns at least one physical bootleg (not a download)
- Has at least 1 song in their top 10 favorites that are not singles.

I may revise or alter this as I think about it.

You are REALLY a true Live fan if..... BUTT SCRATCHER!!! BUTT SCRATCHER HERE! GET YOUR BUTT SCRATCHER!!

If their music (past or present) moved you in some way. If you can say without a doubt that you love the music they make/made. It doesn't need to go any deeper. But I guess for some, this type of answer isn't enough.

But I guess quantity would count. If one or two songs moved you it doesn't mean you would be a true fan. But I'd say if at least 60% and up of their music moved you then sure why not. Ahh there's no simple answer to this. It's up to each individual to say if they are or they aren't. It's what you feel in your heart? I'm feeling this booze in my throat so I'm gonna go talk to Ralph.
