I so want to go to this, just so I can see the Cure. Sigh.
Why Miami?
Also, any Buffy fans? They are putting on a sing-a-long to Once More With Feeling in different places around the US on Jan. 19th, none of which is working out for me right now. Dammit.
Ok, thatisall.
Anyone else frustrated by not being able to see a band or something else musically related?

I'm frustrated by the fact that Arcade Fire tickets for the Saturday night at Brixton sold out in a matter of minutes before i'd even found out about them! I guess it's all a bit middle class WOE tm but meh...

I'm seeing Arcade Fire at the Apollo in Manchester in March.

I fucking hate it when that happens. I browse Seetickets and Ticketmaster at least once a week. Nevertheless I missed Corb Lund, BR549, Bob Mould and Jonathan Richman last time they were in London. I hate that. You see that they're playing tomorrow night, or worse read a review of a gig that took place the previous week... Gah!

I'm on the mailing list for Maximo Park so I get told about gigs before they go on general release, and I still can't get a ticket because they're all sold out by the time I speak to someone.

A friend of mine is trying to sell 2 tickets for Bloc Party in Reading on 05/02/07 if anyone wants those? They are on ebay at the moment but no bids yet...

I had on my last.fm profile that I was going to the recent necro gig, and in the end it wasn't practical so I didn't go. But some chick emailed me from my profile asking if I had any video footage or pictures or anything, because she was the chick on stage with her tits out. So I had to say, no, sorry, I din't go. The next day, some dude emails me re: the DJ Krush gig that I'd also said I'd go to, which I had to cancel because again I couldn't make it. He wanted me to write about it for some kind of last.fm gig journal, so I had to disappoint again. Alls I'm saying is that it's worth confirming you're going before you go adding yourself to the gig list on last.fm.
I definitely am going to the next necro gig though. I got tickets already.

Difficult as it may be to believe, I read an incredibly stupid piece in The London Paper the other week, about Necro. It was one of those 'Ban this sick filth' things, hingeing on the fact that Necro was playing a gig at a venue where someone had once died, and that Necro often raps about death. They had a Victim Support Group dude going "I think it's disgusting that he should play here at this time". It wasn't like it was on the anniversary of this guy's death or anything, and it didn't have anything to do with it, except this guy happened to die in the same building, six months earlier. So presumably no-one who sings about death can ever... I mean... you see how stupid this is?

There's a few scans from london newspapers on his website with that kind of thing in. If Cannibal Corpse or the like had played there, I'm sure there wouldn't have been a problem. I think that the incendiary combination of "rap" and "death" is what really tipped the crazies over the edge.

I wish cloning were more readily available. I'd like to clone 50 Thorns and make them do a Wall Of Death. It would be carnage. Like that scene in the Matrix Reloaded when all the Agent Smiths are being knocked into orbit.

Probably not relevant to this thread at all, because it's a gig I'm actually going to. But I am very excited about going to see CLUTCH at the Oxford Zodiac on April 7th. People in the know, know just how motherfucking rocking awesome CLUTCH actually are, and can probably understand why I'm so excited about seeing them again. They don't rap though, so Benway won't like them. They do have one kind of rap song, but it's more like a piss take of nu-metal bands. It's got some good rhymes in it though.
When you took the Practice Scholastic Aptitude Test did you know the answers or did you guess? You rely on gimmicks to amuse your fans and act all urban to jack up your soundscam, what's the matter with you? How come you rhyme monosyllabically, is atrophy shrinking your entire vocabulary? Your style's like garbage cans, meant to be taken out on a weekly basis Ever since your first record you've been in a state of suspended animation You look like Snuffalupagous and australopithecus, me, cray, you, abacus But enough about you, let's talk about me and how single-handedly I redefined the science of radio astronomy Making Noble Prize winners question their notions of reality Oh but I digress, you play Sorry and I play chess King's pawn to B3, checkmate, go get some percasets

I thought you meant 'wall of death' as in the circus motorcycle stunt. I was riffing on the idea of performing inappropriate daredevil feats with the word 'death' in them during a gig solely to crank up the 'death' factor.

You're forgetting that during my early teens I listened almost exclusively to metal! From Machinehead and Biohazard all the way to Faith No More and Metallica, I was a regular metal kid. I'll download this CRUTCH band and give them a listen.

In the final scene of Reign of Tera, he performs in an orgy featuring over 20 Asian porn stars as the sole male.
Sometimes I think, maybe I made the wrong choices in life. Although that would only be alright if Tera Patrick only went girl/girl, because it wouldn't be much fun directing a bunch of dudes while they bang your wife. You know, at the end of the shoot (no pun) would you be like, "yeah, well done guys, you really banged the shit out of my wife! Way to go!". Even if you were all cool with that, surely you'd have to go and have a little cry.

Yes, you really don't want to be attending any Lamb of God concerts if you value your body's skeletal structure. Some humourous viewer comments that made me grin:

Yeah, he certainly gets the crowd going. I'm due a decent concert soon - my life needs spicing up at the moment. A trip to Rockworld tommorrow night may satisfy some of the craving. Plus: it's student night, and I'm a single man again. Easy pickings.
quote:I thought they were the best band of the night.
Would you say that they upstaged Slayer? That's some mean feat. I've seen Slayer twice, and both times they've turned the crowd into a psychotic, frenzied mass. This was about eight years ago, mind.

Slayer weren't really doing it for me that night. I've seen them a couple of times before, and found them to be one of the greatest live acts on the planet, but they didn't light my fire that night. When I saw Slayer at the Hammersmith Appollo two years ago, they took the roof off; it was one of the greatest. But at the Brixton Academy the sound just descended into a high-speed blur. Lamb of God were ace though. Really exciting and energetic. I suppose they had the advantage of being relatively new to me, too.

Maybe it's a support act thing? A good support act can make a big impact. I saw Megadeth supporting G'n'R and Megadeth won. I also saw Pantera supporting Megadeth and that night Pantera won. Mind you I saw INXS and Gun supporting the Stones on different occasions and the Stones won both times. Hands down. Embarassingly. Stupid support acts.

Yeah, I guess that there's far less pressure on support acts, which, in turn, will make them feel more at ease with their surroundings, resulting in a more natural, focussed performance. I suppose, deep down, a support band would relish the challenge of upstaging the main act, although they're hardly likely to confess to this - if they're hoping for further bookings, that is.
