Gaga ftw!

April 16, 2004 at a club called lupos @ NV at the Strand (Long name I know.) to see MUSE with my friend Dave. We were about 3.5 feet (a little more than 1m) from the stage. It was just an amazing show, half the kids from class were at that show and we had all skipped school that day. It was national Senior Skip Day.
The opening bands were good. One of them had won WBRU's local battle of the bands competition two weeks prior. They sound like Radiohead. The other band was from New York, they're called The Exit. Muse played a bunch of stuff of their absolution album which had only been released in the US for a month at most. and they played some stuff off the Origin of Symmetry album, which wasn't released here at all Some girl kept grabbing my ass too. I was going to bitch at her until I turned around and realized she was totally hot. |

Best concert ever?
Shit, that’s a tough one to narrow down! Okay, I’ll say that the best concert I have attended to date was Atreyu at King Tut’s Wah-Wah Hut in Glasgow on 15th December 2004: It was a clear night but fucking freezing. I got the number 23 bus into the city and got to the venue quite early. I was one of the first people in the queue. The gig was sold-out and the place was packed. This was the first time I had ever been to King Tut’s. The events that took place that evening have ensured that the tiny St. Vincent Street venue will always hold a special significance for me. I spent the first hour or so fleeting back and forth between the main hall, the merch stand and the bar. By the time support bands Black Maria and Bullet For My Valentine (the latter of whom started a fucking violent circle pit at the back of the room!) had been and gone I was already pretty drunk. I was stood at the back of the room shortly before Atreyu took to the stage. One of their roadies walked by me and made his way to the stage. Everyone got out of his way to allow him to pass so I thought “Hang on a minute..!” and I followed right behind him. In doing so I wound up right at the front of the crowd, at the foot of the stage. I can’t stress enough how small King Tut’s actually is (300 maximum capacity). There weren’t even any barriers separating the crowd from the stage - just a few small blocks about 12cm high placed around the bottom of it! When Atreyu walked on, the place fucking exploded! The volume and intensity of the music and the crowd threatened to tear the roof right off the building! Fuelled by cider and adrenaline, I screamed my lungs out. Atreyu’s brutal metalcore sound tore strips off everyone present - bodies were flying through the air, pits were opening up all over the place, everyone was yelling the lyrics back at frontman Alex Varkatzas like their lives depended on it. I was at the right side of the stage, in front of guitarist Travis Miguel, who spent the entire duration of the gig with a smug grin on his face. I can’t say I blamed him - if I were in a room full of people who were so clearly devoted to me and my music I’d be a fucking smug bastard too! Bassist Chris Thomson regularly made his way over from the opposite end of the stage to mouth the lyrics and yell at my section of the crowd. He even took over lead vocal duties mid-set while Alex had a time-out to rest his shredded vocal chords. But it was main man Alex Varkatzas who stole the show. He regularly leaned over into the crowd so he was less than 5 inches away from the people in the front row. When he came right over to my side and almost jumped on top of us I couldn’t believe it. I grabbed onto him and had my arm around his neck. He looked me right in the eyes as he screamed the lyrics to ‘Bleeding Mascara’. It was so fucking intense - there were stacks of amps in front and to the left of me blasting out Christ-knows how many decibels, I had Alex screaming in my face and everyone else in the crowd around me screaming right back at him! Right at that moment, nothing else mattered. Atreyu proceeded to rip through all the best loved tracks from both their albums - ‘Suicide Notes & Butterfly Kisses’ and ‘The Curse’ - throwing in a face-shredding cover of Bon Jovi’s ‘You Give Love A Bad Name’ in the process. They finally vacated the stage only to be coaxed back on by the deafening chant “At-Rey-U, At-Rey-U” from the crowd. They obliged with a brutal rendition of ‘The Crimson’ before bidding us a final farewell. I left the venue and stumbled back out onto St. Vincent Street just after 11pm, the cold night air acting as somewhat of a wake-up call. And I felt fucking proud that I had been witness to one of Atreyu’s first UK headline shows. I knew that these guys were destined for big things and knowing that I was one of the first people to catch onto them made me feel pretty damn proud. Less than a few days after the gig, I found out that Atreyu would be returning to these shores in April ’05 for another headline tour. They are again playing Glasgow, however this time at the slightly larger capacity Garage on Sauchiehall Street. I bought my ticket immediately! To say I’m excited about seeing them again would be the understatement of the century! In fact, I’m almost nervous about seeing them again - how can anything possibly live-up to that night at Tut’s??! Music and going to gigs is what I live for and I have a mini-novel inside my head to accompany each and every single show I’ve been to. I don’t want to bore anyone with tales of bands that none of you have ever heard of or even give a toss about, but if you really wanna know, I’ll happily spill it. It’s only February but I’ve already been to one gig (Taking Back Sunday/My Chemical Romance) and have 5 others lined-up (Simple Plan, The*Ga*Ga*s, 36 Crazyfists/From First To Last, My Chemical Romance and Atreyu) so far this year. I’m gonna make 2005 memorable! |

The Cardigans some 5 years ago. Very close to the stage. And after the show we hung around and Nina came and gave us autographs. Nice of her to do it.

Think it would have to be the first gig I went to.
Summer of '96 my brother and I went to a Bryan Adams concert. It was in Parken, which is a huge football (/soccer) stadium. Think about 25.000 people attended. We had seats not too far from the stage. When performing Summer of '69 Bryan asked the audience if there were someone with a Danish flag in the crowd. Cos mainly people were waving Candaian flags.. then one guy with the Danish flag printed on his t-shirt got to go onstage and he got to sing the song instead of Bryan. When singing "It's Only Love" Bryan commented something about Tina Turner, since she was in Copenhagen the same week, and then he sang the duet. Only since Tina wasn't there to sing her part he changed his voice to make it shound a bit like her Think it was the best concert I've been to so far, since there was a lot of interaction with the audience and all seemed to have fun. Also liked the last of 3 concerts by Suede at Roskilde Festival in 98 (or was it 99?). It was at the smallest stage durring the 3 days and the crowd was about 2000. The songs played were mostly b-sides and those less known to other than the fans. |

Maybe t.A.T.u. at St. Petersburg SKK in December 2003. I took the only sick days I've ever had from any job to be there. It's something like a 1400KM round trip from Moscow to St. Petersburg. I wasn't all that worried about my deception being found out until I accidentally gave my work number to a girl I met a record signing t.A.T.u. failed to attend. Ahem.
Anyway, all the people from the SPB t.A.T.u. fan club were wonderfully welcoming. They live in a fantastic city, and it was a privilege to be shown around it by them. And - as a last word on the topic of meeting people - there was a certain attractive red-head I met and spoke briefly with after the show. La la la. The show itself was pretty intense. Short, yes, but worth the effort. I find it hard to describe why - I suppose there was some relief at finally being able to see the group I'd put so much emotional investment into. And the girls are intensely charismatic performers. I don't care what they are or aren't, that kiss is still the most astute, iconic - and commendable - punk rock statement I've encountered. Plus songs like 'Ne Ver, Ne Boisia' are blistering live. For me, it's the overall experience that makes a gig stand out. Generating some undefinable spirit in the crowd means more than producing the tightest of performances, or ever having the best songs. So, somehow, seeing, say, Jimmy Eat World at Leeds three years ago did just that. Or the smallest of bands, such as 33 Korovy at Arena in Zelenograd. That might have had something to do with sharing the company of the saxophonist and her sister. It all comes back to the same thing, sooner or later. Their ska version of 'Love Buzz' was top too. |

here goes my story,
date: 01.09.2003. location: dom sportova, zagreb, croatia time: 21h as everyone who knows me only a lil might have already guessed the best gig for me was placebo that wasnt the first placebo concert i been to but certainly better one (first time i left before the end cos of well i was young and crazy). anyway ive been looking forward to this gig all the summer, ripping posters from the buildings across city, spent the day before gig round some hotels looking for their buses and shit. we got there few hours earlier, entered as soon as possible and took our places right in front of the stage, well 1m away. almost got in a fight with some girl while waiting when she wanted to push thorugh. and finally they came! ill never forget how they blasted bullletproof cupid as their first song. it was out of space and out of time.whole concert i was in some kind of a trans (i didnt take drugs not even a drop of alcohol!) how good they sound live! since then im even bigger fan and cant wait to catch next chance to see them. after we went to the bar where brian and steve were, was nice to see how they look off stage and so close they even kissed lol i dont get to go to many gigs here, bands mostly skip my country but last years things r begging to change so i was able to go to couple of them. one of the most memorable beside placebo 2001&3 was manu chao in 2002, that man can really make everyone dance. |

The ONLY rock concert I've ever been to, July 15, 2004 - Evanescence, Seether, Three Days Grace, and Breaking Benjamin in Auburn Hills, Michigan. It was a real nice venue too. It's an outdoor atmosphere, and as such is only useable in the Summer, but there is a roof over the seats which keeps the rain off should there be any, and makes for better acoustics, as opposed to not having a roof. And it's quite large, especially when you take into account lawn space behind the seats and up the hill. I wrote this a week or so after, and I've kept it ever since and will continue to keep it:

I'm getting increasingly pissed that I had to pass up the Chevelle/Strata/Crossfade/Helmet concert (in that order of preference) in Detroit that's happening in about 24 hours from now. Being a college student without a job currently, I couldn't justify the cost. And I passed up Finger Eleven back in November. Chevelle and Finger Eleven are two of my top 20. It's not easy to get a job today in this country, at my age, with not much experience. |

I saw Seether at Glasgow's G2 in October '04.
G2 is a tiny venue - I'd reckon about 200 maximum capacity - and Seether didn't even come close to filling it that night! But those that were there were totally into the band and I had a fucking fantastic time! I also got incredibly drunk which resulted in me puking my guts out untill 5am. I saw Shaun Morgan outiside the venue before the doors opened. Myself and some boys in the queue contemplated approaching him but he looked rather pensive and strung-out so we decided it was best to leave him alone. Perhaps he was just missing Amy ...... |

Awww, bless. I really don't understand what a hott chick like Amy sees in a caveman like Shaun, but they do seem to be incredibly happy together. Good luck to 'em both! |

One thing i noticed about the venue was the big pillar on the front of the stage which Ginger kept hiding behind. Had a great day as the band did a signing and Gig in Missing Records in the afternoon.I got to see them twice for free meaning any money went on plying myself with Morgans Spiced and Cola and the fact my parents were on holiday meant that it was partytime for anyone i knew after we got back to Ayr and descended on my house. Best gig ever though has to be The Wildhearts in 1994 at Glasgow Garage.I actually got to the front row and jumped about like an eejit all night and the gig was awesome and the Jack Daniels just enhanced the night perfectly.My body was aching for days after that. Bugger going to the gym..3 gigs a week and i'd be fit enough. |

BIF NAKED!!!! By far the best concert I have ever seen. Bif put on a hell of a performance of course. But the best was meeting her manager Peter Karroll who took my friends and I backstage to hangout with Bif and take pictures with her.
Seocond best would have been Melissa Etheridge when she pulled out her piano and played Weakness In Me. I have never seen an audience go quiet so fast before |
