Do tribute bands count?
: Killer Queen, A Guns 'n' Roses one ( I forget name), New Jersey (Bon Jovi tribute), Blast from the Past= many others, sadly
(..and many amateur band things, though some were signed bands so technically could be classed as concert?)
What concerts do you want to see that you haven't?
Radiohead
Muse
Stereophonics
Lightning Seeds!! - yeah me too
Red Hot Chili Peppers (sooon!)
Guns n' Roses (if it ever happens)
Metallica
Weezer- back in the day, it may have passed.
Gomez
many older artists that are unlikely to play again such as Queen and Hendrix (being dead hinders that a bit.)
and there's lots of bands I like and haven't got round to yet.
Have you seen any bands more than once? Who are they, and how many times?
mostly just Ad's band CYRIS, and a few others of the same sorts, like harvey?, or undefined, damn dementia, unsung hero... blah blah.
Have you ever met any bands, and if so, who?
you still mean big bands don't you?
no, no one major.
Do you have any signed memorabilia from shows, and if so, what?
nope, not interested in it really.
have been known to buy the odd t-shirt or hoody, but usually the bootleg stuff going outside. some of it lasts well mind.
from inside, i think i've only ever bought that CORD cd, with a free badge ;)
What is the most you've ever paid for concert tickets, and who were they for?
about £30 or just over, for manics, rammstein and blink, and green day i think.
am about to fork out £40 for rhcp though, but i want to!
Have you ever won concert tickets, and if so, for what concert?
nope, Nay did once for Travis and I couldda gone, but I decided Vicky would enjoy them more so was nice.
What is the best concert you've ever been to?
oh, i don't know. I was very impressed by the Manics. Though Distortion (Green Day) was awesome for the whole day out and many bands thing.
I loved Reel Big Fish, just because the music's great, plus trumpet! and i remember it, it was only about a week ago.
What is the worst?
Blink? i think when it came to value for money. they didn't sound too good and played all their new stuff which i don't like too much compared to old.
most awful bands i've seen have been unsigned ones, hence why they're unsigned i guess.
How far is the furthest you've travelled to see a concert?
Nottingham, and no further, mwuahahahaha!
What is your favorite concert venue?
I the Academy, or the Wolves Civic, for the balcony.
Do you save your ticket stubs?
if they let me keep them, usually.
What is some random fact about you and your concert-going?
um.i very rarely take a camera?
What is your fondest concert memory?
*shrugs* party in the park and beign on bro's shoulders to see Westlife (cringe), but then having to hold him up when that australian band of sexy femmes came on, not necessarily fond, but memorable.
Managing to be in the same block of setaing as everyone at the Manics gig but we all booked seperately. Lots of wondering.
Do you have any concerts coming up?
bluetones - now jemmy has tickets?
less than jake - i hope
and RHCP when we go buy tickets, hurrah!
