I tend to like going to music concerts but cant always find people to go with .. popular arent i!

Anyone up for going to some concerts sometime? I have a wide and varied musical taste!

But im thinking along the lines of Coldplay in Dec and Robbie next summer! 8)

Open to suggestions tho!

Also if any one knows any good ticket agencies that arent too pricy that would be good

Ticketmaster and gigsandtours are generally official, so have the best prices.

Havent done a concert since the Kylie one in May . :|

whoops and of course the Elton one at the County Ground! :)

Are you joking?  Elton, Robbie, Kylie....  I think I'll give it a miss.

Well I have gone to other concerts with a bit more class ... Oasis .. Coldplay .. Blur ..

Very Radio 1 Mr F.

Oasis aren't worth it anymore, Coldplay are a studio band, Blur would be worthwhile seeing.  Get some proper rock on the go mate.

 :evil:  :angry:  :disapprove:  :nono:

A more pedictable post you'll not find today. :D

Does Bon Jovi count? Or are they too gay? I'm going anyway.

kylie,robbie, elton, fatbury its not a problem but are you a dinner masher?

It's facking true KT, let's be honest.

Also I'm not one for stadium gigs, prefer a more compact venue myself.

It's not true jan.  I was at both gigs at the MK Bowl in the summer and they were so good it's untrue!

Oasis are the best band in the world IMO though, so I am going to be biased.

Oasis are Oasis.

They do what it says on the tin and its bloody good fun.Im looking forward to seeing them in Dec.Im also saving up for a sniper rifle to wipe out the Foo fighters 8)

I might have to sell my ticket for Noise & Confusion. :cry:

Can I borrow your rifle to shoot Robbie please Yeovil

I blame Radio 1, bands like Foo's are excellent, but because whenever they release a song Radio 1 plays them 100 times a day, every day, people get pissed off.  Why can't R1 play other music throughout the day not just new releases it'd be much better.

Oasis are alright just the number of twats you get at their concerts that piss me off.

Thats fair.  Oasis do unfortunately attract more than their fair share of cunts to concerts, but that is because they appeal to so many different demographics.

You're right about the Foos etc. too - if it's played to death then you begin to resent anything you may have originally liked.

I heard the new Black Eyed Peas' song earlier on Radio 1 - if I ever hear it again it will be too soon.  The lyrics were basically:

my hump, my hump (repeat about 1000 times)
my lovely lady lumps - and so on.

Fecking awful!

Oasis are a top top band. You can't decide to hate them cos some cunts like them!!!

When I have money I will be off to see Oasis, Athlete and hopefully Razorlight. Could be a while though!!!!

That's good you agree, I thought you may have thought I was talking about you!!  I wasn't I'm talking about the average chav who goes to these concerts where you can barely see the performing artists.

The MK Bowl is an awesome venue for gigs. I went to see Green Day there just a few months ago. It was totally awesome.
70,000 people were at the gig!!!!

I went to that one, was very good. You weren't one of the guys they got up on stage were you?

I know mate - I live about six miles from it.  I was at the GD gig too - the Saturday one.  

Oasis was better though. :mrgreen:

Haha no i wasnt which was a shame.........I was wavin about a blow up guitar though  :D  Did you happen to see one of them?
The DVD for that gig comes out on November 11th  :D  Im deffo gettin it.

www.aloud.com is who i usually go through, recently ordered my Franz Ferdinand tickets from there

For the record I don't think I ever said I hated Oasis, I have most of their stuff, especially from first three albums, I just siad they're not worth watching now, compared to early mid 90's.  For which Mr KT has put me straight.

Yeah i went on the saturday too. Did you see a blow up guitar bein waved about at all?
And nooooooooooooooooo way are Oasis better. Well in my opinion anyway  :wink:

Didn't put you straight - your allowed to think that, just said that I don't think that.

They were ace at MK though - the Saturday was one of the greatest days of my life, about <.........................> that far from the front and going completely potty! 8)

PHIL!!!!- I shall be getting the DVD, if nothing more than to try and spot myself in the crowd 8) Did see quite a few blow up guitars, a few too many flying piss bottles for my liking :o

Exodus on November 14th in Camden  :soapy tit wank:

All I have to say is, Oasis.......fucking awesome!!

i've goten to the stage where any gig above 1,000 people in the crowd feels like crap. its so impersonal, i prefer little gigs, in tiny little venues, one of my favourite was Good Clean Fun in Le Pub, newport... its probably 100person capacity max, its in teh attic of a pub, and the weirdest lay-out i've seen at a venue, but fuck me, we were right next to the band, the crowd participation was immense...

I saw Mando Diao, probably my favourite band of the moment in a the Bar Fly in Camden, thing is most even though they're swedish they're pretty big in Japan.  So at the gig which was pretty small in number me and my mates were surrounded by Japanese, I felt like Kinky Tom in a bar, could see over everyone's head, was brilliant.

It's even worse when there are mirrors jan and you catch a glimps of just how much taller you are than everyone else.

I'm often the tallest person in a bar - no matter how busy.

I'm not going to watch 50 anymore :( My friend said she was not going to come if I watched him so we have decided to watch either keane or coldplay.

After seeing both Sade I suggest Coldplay - Keane are a poor mans Coldplay of sorts.

Coldplay it is then(think I prefer them anyway to be honest)

Small gigs are the future.  Saw Yeti in the Louisiana in Bristol, was excellent.  Also, Killers at the Fleece, Arctic Monkeys at teh Bierkeller, and The Music at the Brighton Corn Exchange/Hammersmith Palais are some of my favourites.

Jan, were you in the Griffin on Saturday?

Nope fraid not.  I've been doing up my new house at weekends/evenings and missed a few Swindon games recently, shame on me!  Why do you ask?

Just your mention of me in a bar being taller than everyone, I think the topic was brought up in there - wondered if you were near by is all.

I'm seeing Death From Above 1979/Queens of the Stone Age/Nine Inch Nails in Boston in a couple of weeks... That's a stadium tour so I'm not expecting a great show to be honest... I'm a fan of smaller venues.

Kayne West is also around when I'm out there so he might be worth seeing... Not into his stuff but a gigs a gig.

Big gigs are good just to take in the sheer number of people around you, but small, intimate gigs are the shit! 8)

No mate I know what you look like, and I've seen you in the Merlin before.  You stick out like a very tall sore thumb, not in a bad way, you're just recognisable!

Fair doooooos. :)

I can't believe you're going to see Robbie cunting Williams. :x

I saw Fingathing on Monday and high contrast again, second time in a month. It was also completely free. :beers:

Fingathing have a guy on turntables and a guy on double bass and they're fucking superb.

High Contrast was amazing as ever, does anyone know what that tune is that has a girl singing"oh yeah yeah yeah oh yeah yeah yeahh I feel for you baby" over some quality drum and bass tune?

I'm seeing Bloc Party next week.

Saw Bloc Party at Glasto - they're the real deal I reckon.

Franz would be a good concert!!

Sad I missed Green Day but I think i was on HOLIDAY then!

Bon Jovi at Wembley will be wicked I think

Like I say I love all kinds of music .. im not restricted .. concerts are ace!

Im off to see the Doves at Bath Pavillion! Bit of a village hall so should be a cool gig!

I wish Kele would sing rather than just speak or shout the words though.

In Mean Fiddler on Saturday, i was unfortunate enough to inadvertently see Towers of London...  :|

Blondie touring with Hugh Cornwell. Both are excellent live.

NMH

I hate Blondie. :twisted:

She used to be fit once KT!!

So, Katie Melua is fit as they come, but I don't like her music.

true Ill give u that one! :|

Disagree Melua is both fit, and sounds good, nice tunes for a relaxing afternoon.

Found it! It's shy fx + t power - feelings. Quality tune this.

Up it and we'll see if I agree.

I can't just yet but you can listen to a clip here: http://www.catapult.co.uk/product_view?id=7015

Not sure what the sound quality is like though 'cos I don't have any sound here, just know it's the right tune.

OK mate, can't listen at work myself so will try it later.

Kt,have you already got your ticket?Because mine haven't come yet and i'm now getting a bit concerned,of course the money has already gone from the credit card :-))(

No, Oasis tickets historically arrive much later than any other bands do, in my experience anyway.

They probably won't be dispached until about 4 weeks prior to the event.

Basically, you shouldn't worry yet, you've at least another month before you should be concerned.

I'm quite excited about this Noise and Confusion thingy... 8)

 :evil:

I'm gutted I'll have to miss it, but securing a job in Val is imperative in order to survive a season, so needs must I suppose. :(

should make a nice profit on the tickets too! Every cloud...

 :D
Cheers KT,thats a weight off my mind :) .

  :)
So am i,has the line up been confirmed yet?Ithought more bands were going to be added,because oasis,foos and razorlight e.c.t aren't enough for me :wink: .

Yeah, just looked on ebay, 1 ticket usually goes for about 70 or 80 quid, that should cover flight and transfer to resort, so as you say, every cloud...

nice.

Other than Oasis, Foos, Razorlight, and The Coral i haven't heard who else is playing.

KT,you touting scum :wink:  :) .
Where are you going again?Should be great where ever it is :)

Going out to Val Thorens in the French Alps - yes it should be ace factor ten! 8)

Bloc Party were quality. Incredibly hot and sweaty, had to take my top off or I might have died.

No idea who was supporting them but they weren't that good.

My upcoming gigs are:

Subways - Thursday
Oasis - 10/12
Hard-Fi - 18/12
Stephen Fretwell - January sometime
Bon Jovi :oops:  - June

I've got nowt planned but might trip on down to see the delays in feb/march time gigs are a right mission from swindon!

Im going to see Alkaline Trio next month at the Carling Acadmy in Brum, i cant wait!

i've not been to a gig for ages. might be going to see the damned in december though.

Fat -get yourself up to the academy in Islington to see The Fall.I'll buy you a beer!Next week,3/11.

why didn't you tell me about this sooner, adje? i'd have come if i could.

why don't we get tickets to see status quo in oxford  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

only if they let me throw bricks

you'll be in Oxford, I am sure they won't be able to stop you ha ha

ADJE

The Fall - dont they use that tune of theirs on Final Score now also I noticed the house band of Frank Skinner plays bits of their music in between guests

See and you thought I didnt know who they were!!

 :mrgreen:

That is ridiculously distorted. Here is the proper tune: http://s64.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=3C6S2P3YP5ZM90X4TPB14IAMF5

I am seeing Simple Plan and H.I.M. in feb 06.  :P Ace.

id rather watch James Blunt with Fatbury tbh!

Subways last night =  8)

I wanted to see Hard-Fi at the Guildhall but it's sold out  :(
I suppose I don't have any money either so it could be a good thing

not their biggest fan but they are ok. they played in Swindon once but it was at the Goth shop that is the Furnace so i didn't bother

I saw logistics last night with high contrast doing a half hour set, so that's 3 times I've seen him play in a month. Fucking good though and a top bloke, came down into the bar and chatted to everyone after his set.

I missed them there.  I just thought they were 'ok' but having seen them now, they are a lot better than i gave them credit for.
