Gigs

Thought it'd be nice to make a dedicated thread to gigs you've been to, or are attending in the near future.

Last band I saw live was Nine Inch Nails on the NIN/JA tour. I've reviewed it over on X360 (which I haven't been back to for weeks, by the way, wow) and the overall experience was fantastic. Mew were great, Jane's Addiction were brilliant, and NIN were just godly.

Got Green Day coming up next, which should make for a decent arena experience. Then its Biffy Clyro again in November. Seeing them for the fifth time in three years

Aside from those, I haven't booked any, but I wouldn't mind getting tickets for Does It Offend You, Yeah? and HEALTH, and am waiting for CSS and/or Crystal Castles to tour again.

Bowling for soup in October
There are many others later on in the year, but ive not got around to buying tickets for.

Is it really Queens of the Stone Age who are supporting Green Day Casey? I heard that, but i dunno

I

Never been to one and I like it that way.

I bloody hope so!

A girl told me today, but she's a bit thick... I googled and it's all rumour by the looks of it Thank God.

Saw QOTSA back on the Era Vulgaris tour, and they were great. Would love to see them again!

I'm struggling to find somebody to come and see Jack's Mannequin with me.

Got Franz, Bloc Party, Ricky Gervais, Muse and Frankie Boyle.

Possibly Gallows too.

I got Eddie Izzard tickets today

Biffy and Kasabian in November.

Seeing Skindred, DevilDriver and Gallows at the Roadmender in Northampton which should be sick...

Then I have Hollywood Undead which I'm seeing in Birmingham O2 Academy, I think you should come Moozo, meet up. They're playing 30th November

Formulating... homoerotic... jibe...

Been to a few and I wish I could revert to your position. No. Appeal. Whatsoever.

Stand up counts a s a gig?
If so I have to change my statement to 'never been to a concert/festival... etc etc' because watching Jerry Seinfeld do stand-up in person was jizztastic.

Maaan, that's crazy. Good gigs are just totally the best experiences ever. I'm actually sorry that you didn't enjoy them because nothing beats a good gig! Each to their own I suppose.

So far, gigs I've been to have been characterised by a good deal of akwardness at the start because I don't really know what the accepted behaviour is, but by the end I'm very, very comfortable. Too comfortable, some might say.

It always makes me feel twattish when I have seat tickets rather than standing.

Me too, have them for Green Day. I'll be stood up on my seat anyway for sure. NIN's last EVER European setlist from Sonisphere:

The Way Out is Through
Wish
I Do Not Want This
Something I Can Never Have
Gone, Still
The Frail
The Wretched
Non Entity
Lights in the Sky
The Downward Spiral
Hurt

Trent Reznor on the setlist: "We played a purposely quiet, intimate set. I figured it would either enrage or baffle the metal audience... but to our amazement it went over great!
Really fun set to play in that environment."

A load of baffled metal fans = priceless. Why they were in a metal-fest in the first place is yet another collective musical misunderstanding/misinterpretation.

Going to see Skindred and Enter Shikari in October, hopefully Alexisonfire at some point to.

Hopefully seeing Biffy in October (or November) can't remember.

Vampire Weekend, Crystal Castles and Dizzee Rascal on the 28th of August.

Top 5 bands at Oxegen were Blur, Friendly Fires, Bloc Party, Florence and the Machine and surprizing Elbow.

Skindred is now a definite in October thanks to buying tickets.

DevilDriver is more or less a definite just need to buy the tickets.

and now

FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH are doing a tour I cant fucking wait, my fave band for the past year

Spiritualized in December.

Probably will be the best gig i ever go to. Im psyched
