Bands may turn up at venues, but let's be honest -- it's not a show until the fans get involved. They provide the livelihood for bands, both at the box office and in giving them the energy to turn a good show into a great one. Some fans are more hardcore than others and certain acts have extremely dedicated fan bases.

In this category, we honor those who push the turnstiles, leave it all out at the concert venue and continually keep hard rock and metal alive. So check out the nominees, then vote for the most devoted fans of 2014 in the 4th Annual Loudwire Music Awards poll below.
