Paul and I are going to see CSS at The Dome, Brighton, as part of their UK tour. We saw CSS last year and the much smaller Concorde2 venue. It seems a fair few bands we've seen at small venues are climbing up the ladder. We're also going to see the Mercury nominated band Maps at the Brighton Gloucester (Barfly) next week. Anyone else got concerts lined up? Coaster_Gal Its not exactly a music concert, but at the end of this month we're going to see the recording of the next series of 'I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue', in Manchester, I went to see it on tour in Leeds in August, it was such a fun evening lol. I'm sooo looking forward to seeing it again lol. butler After a year of big scale concerts i am off to see BEverly Knight in November. Can't wait Butler reg Going to see Madness at the O2 soon, then Stereophonics in november. Also going to see Jimmy Carr in november too. Saw The Frattellis in Swindon a few months ago, playing a small gig at a local leisure centre. Bowling For Soup are playing there later in the year, and I think Newton Faulkner is doe to play there as well, which I one I will get a ticket for, cos I think he's a fantastic vocalist. butler I am now gong to completly dumb down this section. I am going to see The Spice Girls in Jan 2008 along with my niece's. Can't wait. Butler Paul H. butler wrote: After a year of big scale concerts i am off to see BEverly Knight in November. Can't wait Butler I was impressed by your post as my wife and I are going to see Beverly Knight in Liverpool at the end of the month. You blew when you added the post about the Spice Girls P.S. We have all tried blaming our nieces and nephews for bad concerts butler I have to say i can't really blame them as I brought the tickets. I did go and see The rolling stones and Prince earlier in the year. So that should redeem me in some small way.

Butler - you should stop writing stuff in this thread as you are getting worse haha. Only joking hehe. Its good that people support live music / acts whatever it may be.

Big Stevie B There realy is a God! lol http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=HtIto_lO7tA Nimmykins Maps were excellent last night. Brilliant sound, superb musicianship. They're well deserving of their Mercury nomination. Having watched a little of Steve's clip of Samanda.. well.. it's obvious they can't sing because it's so heavily on the vocal modulation.

It's looking like I'm going to have to save the credibility of this thread again, and announce that I'm planning to see the Immortal Gods of Black Metal - BAL-SAGOTH - Live at two shows in Finland at the end of January! And that just reminded me...I still havn't bought the flights yet! Farewell... >> Death << Big Stevie B I`m going to see Linkin Park at the London o2 (Dome) at the end of January. Nimmykins I'm rather cross. CSS were performing an amazing set tonight at Brighton's Dome. Then some idiot threw a shoe at lead singer Lovefoxx, and she left the stage. The rest of the band finished the song and also walked off, but not before one of the guitarists thanked the shoe thrower. I'm ashamed of British people's behaviour some times, especially as CSS are visitors to this country (even though Lovefoxx is going to marry a Klaxon in a couple of weeks). A colleague of  mine was at the Ricky Hatton fight at the weekend, and he came home equally ashamed because of the British people booing the US National Anthem, and behaving in a disgusting way. I would say more, but I'll just put the link up instead. http://www.worthingherald.co.uk/w...at-disgraceful-British.3583046.jp Nimmykins I'm supporting Malcolm Middleton's = We're All Gonna Die Alone, for Christmas number 1. It's an antidote to X-Factor and Mariah. http://www.myspace.com/malcolmmiddleton - Check it out. It's an up-beat number. butler I have to admit to watching X Factor and to say that I quite like the song. I am sure that his admission had done nothing to enhance what little street cred I have. I will say however it is not a patch on the original. Butler Bunnie I really wanted Rhydian to win, just because he was different. Then again I think I would much prefer to see him in a stage show as that is where his talent truly lies and then at least that way he won't be forced into releasing some truly terrible song. Big Stevie B I just watched Top Of The Pops and am gutted that the X-Factor guy got to number one. The song is instantly forgettable and he has the charisma of a grape. I stopped watching X-Factor this year after the audition shows. The format is to predictable and over done now. What is wrong with Britain? Keep putting the winner at the top of the Christmas chart even though they are one hit wonders or don`t deserve it. Every Christmas we have to watch a memory clip of there X-Factor journey. Boring! It`s the same every year now. Please put somebody else at number one next year. There is some good news though. Today (Christmas) at 3pm, Queen are going to make a speech.   That's awesome because they have been very quite for years now. Freddy rules!   Big Stevie B I`m going to plug this here. PLUG! PLUG! It`s Michael Jackson`s first single on his return. It`s a track from the new updated Thriller 25 years album. It`s Michael and Will I. Am from the Black Eyed Peas. A remake of `The Girl Is Mine`. Admittedly it`s not my first choice for Michael`s came back but it will do to have him back on the current music scene. Until the brand new album is released anyway. This is out on January 28th. Did i mention PLUG!? http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=tqawOudwNCI butler I am now going to ruin the credability of both myself and the board. Last week, Tuesday infact, I went to see the Spice Girls at the O2 and they where very good. I must point out Victoria especially. She did sing. it was ok not great just ok. SHe drew tha loudest cheers of the night. All in all a great night out. Butler Bunnie I really enjoy and embrace that we all have different music tastes, I've been introduced to new music by different members of the board. Been listening to a lot of Within Temptation and Nightwish recently   Big Stevie B Tuesday 29th January i`m at the o2 for Linkin Park. Realy looking forward to that now. butler I am going to try and claw back some credibility. On Feb 7th I am going to see the opera Madam Butterfly at the English National Opera. Death Hail All! Well, tonight I am going to be seeing none other than The Immortal BAL-SAGOTH live at Nosturi here in Helsinki! If anyone else on here is currently in the Helsinki/Helsingförs area, I'd advise that ye come along as it's going to be off the scale as far as gigs go! Not being able to see them tonight is no excuse mind...They're playing in Turku tomorrow night at Klubi - Tickets for each gig are only €15,- so get yer backsides down there FAST! . butler wrote: I am going to try and claw back some credibility. On Feb 7th I am going to see the opera Madam Butterfly at the English National Opera. Hmmm...Well, the same opera is currently running at the Helsinki Oppeera (Opera house). Now, I'm thinking that operas are like theatre shows (Starlight Express etc) and can only run in one place at once. Is this the case, or am I thinking too deep again? Farewell, and I expect to see at least half of ye in Turku tomorrow evening! >> Death << Jester butler wrote: I am going to try and claw back some credibility. On Feb 7th I am going to see the opera Madam Butterfly at the English National Opera. Good for you ... that is a superb Opera - one of my all time favourites, as is Miss Siagon.   I saw La Cenerentola by WNO in October, but I must admit drew the line at James McMillians new piece The Sacrifice, despite all the blood and guts.   Jester Death wrote: Hmmm...Well, the same opera is currently running at the Helsinki Oppeera (Opera house). Now, I'm thinking that operas are like theatre shows (Starlight Express etc) and can only run in one place at once. Is this the case, or am I thinking too deep again? Absolutely not. For starters Opera and Light Operas (like Starlight Express) and even  'Musicals' are at completely different ends of the spectrum and totally different artforms.   And definately they can be performed in different countries at the same time, as well as by different perfoming companies at the same time. An obvious case in point is 'Joseph and his technicolour whatsit' which is running in the West End - starring Lee Mead, and also on tour around Britain at the moment, starring some of the runners up from the talent competition. However, there are restrictions between certain Professional and Amateur productions of the same show, and also a producer can hold 'sole rights' to a show, which then can mean it cannot be perfomed by anyone else within the set restrictions.   However a production such as Les Miserables - which has been performed in 38 different countries, and although not in all of those at the same time, many versions have run concurrently, alongside the edited 'Schools' production, which is available for Amateur performance. Here endeth the 'theatrical' lesson!!     Nimmykins I'm going to see Yazoo in June after hearing about presale tickets for fans, which is great. Death Hail All! Jester wrote: I saw La Cenerentola by WNO in October, but I must admit drew the line at James McMillians new piece The Sacrifice, despite all the blood and guts. Blood and guts? Could ye tell me where I can see this one inside the London area after the 1st February, please? I'm fairly interested! Does the production contain as much blood and gore as your post gives me the impression of, though? (I'm currently seeing a vision of the inside of an Abbahtoir after a particularly fast and furious day, so it'd be easiest for me to compare it with that in terms of scale! ) Jester wrote: An obvious case in point is 'Joseph and his technicolour whatsit' which is running in the West End - starring Lee Mead, and also on tour around Britain at the moment, starring some of the runners up from the talent competition. Did ye actually mean to type Joseph and the Technicolour Dreämcöat, but found that the profanity filter pounced on it? ...Or is that an actual spoof title drawing on the original?

I'm currently well over even the Russian drink/drive limits following the BAL-SAGOTH gig after-party, so will read and learn once I'm sober!

All of the gigs that I've been to have been standing room only, with the exception of any bar areas! And I have to say, if there had been seating at the gig that I went to last night (BAL-SAGOTH/Battlelore at Klubi in Turku, Finland) it would have been pure pandaemonium - That venue was far too small for a BAL-SAGOTH Ritual! Farewell... >> Death << Jester Death wrote: You mention sitting? All of the gigs that I've been to have been standing room only, with the exception of any bar areas! The better class of 'gig' do tend to have seats. We are not all prone to ripping up seats and causing chaos. We are off to see Steve Reich And Kraftwerk Revisited on Saturday, and as Taylor is using Steve as part of her GCSE study ... it should be a good night all around.   Death Hail all! Jester wrote: The better class of 'gig' do tend to have seats. We are not all prone to ripping up seats and causing chaos. Beg your pardon sir, but that is a complete stereotype! Most of us Metalheads do have a respect for property etc, and as a general rule we behave more than reasonably. Sometimes we might scribble something witty and amusing in the bogs, but only if there is already graffitti in there and the loo looks run-down beforehand! The main reason our gigs are standing room only is because - For the most part - We prefer to stand. Besides, trying to "headbang" or play air-guitar in a stadium seat is very difficult! Back top stereotypes: Ye should have seen the number of surprised looks that I got yesterday when I offered my seat on the tram to a senior citizen who'd just got on. Bear in mind that I was in my usual sleeveless shirt with my 1/2" spiked bracers on, and most people probabally thought that I'd be the last person to offer up his seat! On the other hand, I will add that some Metalheads in large groups (Over 500 people) do seem to exhibit chav-like behavior, most notably at Wacken Open Air. I havn't got an explanation for this, but I suppose that it could be a part of human nature... Jester wrote: We are off to see Steve Reich And Kraftwerk Revisited on Saturday, and as Taylor is using Steve as part of her GCSE study ... it should be a good night all around.   Have a good one guys! I know that I did when I saw BAL-SAGOTH twice last weekend! Farewell... >> Death << Jester Death wrote: Beg your pardon sir, but that is a complete stereotype! Firstly I'm not 'Sir', I am - in the context you used - 'Madam' And secondly ... Yes I agree I did use a stereotype, however, I was trying to illustrate the point that there are all sorts of 'music gigs' and not all of them are for people who want to 'headbang', play air guitar or dance, or even consider it acceptable to write on the walls in the toilets. It is horses for courses - certain bands play in certain venues, because it suits the types of audiences that they attract. Now, you wouldn't expect an audience member for a concert of the BSO to stand and headbang through a Beethoven Symphony would you? We are certainly going to have 'seats' for the Steve Reich concert on Saturday - or I'd be sitting on the floor, as I couldn't stand that long these days     Death Hail Jester! Jester wrote: Firstly I'm not 'Sir', I am - in the context you used - 'Madam' Ooops...Sorry about that! I generally use peoples usernames as an indication of their gender, mainly because - As ye all know - I'm completely hopeless at remembering anything about anyone! This has derailed me in the past though as I keep thinking that Auntie Murial is female (Because of their name), but IIRC that user is actually male! Jester wrote: And secondly ...

Farewell... >> Death << Big Stevie B I just watched the Brit Awards. All i can say is Paul McCartney really can`t sing a lick can he?   Michael Jackson carried his Pipes of Piece album with the two duets, including Say Say Say. John Lennon, Legend! Carried the Beetles. This guy is so pants, why would they wast an award on him? Jester Oh Steve .... You can just tell you were not a child of the 60's     Sir Paul is just a music legend Penny Lane, Let it Be, Elenor Rigby, A Hard Days Night, Here There and Everywhere, Good Day Sunshine, Paperback Writer, Lucy in the sky with Diamonds, Hello Goodbye, Live and Let Die .... do I need to go on!! Death Hail All! Just a quick post here as Internet access in Germany isn't cheap...But since coming here, I've been introduced to the wonders of the band Finntroll, and their track Trollhammaren is not only amusing, but also pure genius in my opinion! Farewell... >> Death << butler Sir Paul changed more than a generation. With Lennon he changed the face of popular music, as we know it,  forever. How many people can you say that about. Bunnie Yay, I'm off to see Apocalyptica in December       So excited and just wanted to share          RCCGB FORUM Forum Index -> Anything Goes Page 1 of 1
