now here's a lil question for yas' all .

How Often Do You Go To Gigs ?


and where abouts do u usually go ?

I'm an every now and then guy.. If I see something that may interest me and I have the money, I'll go. And I've only seen two international acts so far, those being Jamiroquai and Ev. Missed APC and Moby so far, they'd better come back again :(

*cant wait for marc's reply* lol

um. well i guess now and again, if there is something that peaks my interest and of course i have the money i will go.
ive seen a few international bands..some national.

i always try to get to gigs every week. :) they're so much fun. meet new peeps. see new bands. and can tell ya mates how good they are. and then they could probably be the next best thing .

I wish I could go to more gigs, but there isn't much I can go to here, seeing as I'm under 18. :(

ONCE A WEEEK DAMM THATS NOT ENUFF!!!!! lol
I seen like 2 many bands 2 count lol
Last week september is huge!
Chimaria/In flames then Killing Heidi then Switchkicker twice then MM9
I should show u my list of just international bands. Put it this way in the first 6 months of this year I'd been to 52 gigs & see 102 DIFFERENT bands

how in holy hell can you afford to see that many bands, mknell?

(edit: is "holy hell" even possible?)

**hangs head in shame** well the thing is peoples, i have never been to a concert before. but i have however been to disney on ice :P

i"m the Same way man . there'S juSt not enough gigS on..

No idea how I afford it but I do, tho I do get some Freebies in there liek TBE has done a few times. But yeah Sydney is actually the bets place for gigs with the best bands, Melb has more venues & gigs bit less quality, & yeah up in Qld there is fuck all. I'll make u guys a list soon. There has been some days where I've done like 2 gigs one nite. These aren't even just Aussie acts its International ones 2 so I seen heaps. Pretty much I've seen most bands that have come out.

Are we counting all the gigs I swing to that are hosted at Uni, Cause if we are i'm a once a week or more kinda guy.
Only seen one International, that being No Doubt at Festival hall in Melb, Good band, bad venue.
I was slightly annoyed that I missed out on the Muse last week
but thems the breaks

Killing Heidi is still Number one all time greatest gig i've been too :)

To my shame, I have to admit I've never been to a gig. I desperately wanted to go to the Ev concert but my dad's wallet mysteriously dissapeared :mad: I'll never forgive him.

Thats y u need a job :p

Thats y u need a job :p

not all people are really that luckier enough to have such skills at getting a job at such a young age.. i know i didn't get my first job till i left high school and that would've been around 17½ years old ..

and yes we are counting gigs that are hosted by uni's . that's counted as a gig i would say :p there's just too many to count that's been too.

This was just the bands I like there were others I saw that I don't like ;)

There's too many to remember. the list would just go on forever if i included every single local gig i've been too .

Yeah but my list was only for this year lol damm imagine if I kept going back
Like I've seen Slipknot that was actually my first concert

compared to how many concert u guys have been 2, i feel insiginificant LOL

ive seen switchfoot 2 times unfortuantely cant go for there concert coming up

ive seen the lads once...

and then evanescence

out of the 4 concerts....the ev 1 was the only 1 i had to pay for lol

well i always pay. it just means money going to the venue for having the bands play and to pay the bands for coming to the venue and all the bands roadies n stuff. etc. . :D

I been put on the door a few times like Bands Like TBE have
Works out good when they are sold out 2

omg hahahah ive hardly seen anyone compared to lots on here
poor sad me lol
spose thats what i get for having kids young lol
seems liek ive alotta catching up to do :-p

i try to see bands as often as i can afford :)
but i only turned 18 last december, and only took an intrest in seeing bands live when i saw evanescence in january in perth and realised, how much better any band is seeing them live.
since then i have been to big day out, muse, sin city (aka local pricks), fur patrol, butterfly effect etc

just wateva ive even slightly heard of, ill go see :)
