[QUOTE=Squirrel;18302803]news just in seeing bands live is an enjoyable experience for those that enjoy said bands music[/QUOTE]

not always

besides a lot of people lie about enjoying concerts to fit in

like the people standing with their hands in their pockets nodding

Left Face Down 12-07-2010 12:16 PM

Not every one get so stoned at a concert that they rip of their clothes and mosh naked Fingers. Plus, I saw (and enjoyed) an Eric Clapton concert when I was younger. Which really if there was a mosh pit/people doing the wave/etc. at an Eric Clapton concert I'd be confused and a little scared.

fingers mccoy 12-07-2010 12:22 PM

mosh pits are even worse

people hate themselves and others so much that they'll wilfully hurl themselves at each other forcing the crowd to part around them and causing a thousand overly defensive cunts in spiked leather and steel toe boots to start elbowing anyone who goes near their underage girlfriend in the face

fucking rock music man seriously

and don't get me started on the smells these people make

:lol: yeah I went to a Gojira gig once, was brutal. A guy of about 16st/6'5" [i]picked me up[/i] (I'm 13st/6'0") to move me out of the way so he could get on the stage and stage dive. Needless to say, there wasn't many people willing to catch him. I swear the ground shook when he faceplanted it.

I've never really gone all-out in a mosh pit, generally just been sucked into one when what seems to be the population of Mordor starts flailing about in and around my face. Mosh pits don't bother me though, if I inadvertently end up moving from the fringes of one to the midst of it, I'm cool with it as long as I dominate. Then when a beefcake turns up, I move in-crowd :p I'd like to leave with all my teeth please.

Completely depends on the music. A group of lads started a pit at a Dream Theater gig once. I just stood on the edge and punched them in the face until they got the idea. Any band that produces songs such as 'Another Day' and 'The Spirit Carries On' should [i]not[/i] be moshed to.

Sad But True 12-07-2010 12:41 PM

The problem with moshing is that kids have decided that it's acceptable to mosh to anything. I was at a gig once and these kids tried to start a mosh pit to a band that sound like The Kooks.

Later Lod, going back home.

I saw PT in May and I was literally 1 out of like 10 people there who weren't wearing a Pink Floyd/King Crimson/Dream Theater shirt. Seriously people I'm sure Steven Wilson doesn't care how much you "love" prog, it's not gonna make him like you.

I wore this shirt

but sadly Gavin didn't play any.

EmbraceRandom 12-07-2010 12:57 PM

Gah, anything that says 'no back design' or other self-referential things make me cringe.
Like when people post 'snow-related status' on facebook. Seriously, it's more annoying that the actual abundance of snow-related statuses.

Every hardcore PT fan I have met has been a complete pretentious hipster twatface.
I like the Sound of Muzak, but not when I have a fanboy saying 'it's in 7/4 you know'. Urgh..

GuitarBizarre 12-07-2010 01:38 PM

I want a shirt that says 'Hipsters ruined irony'. I saw one once, should have gotten it but missed my chance.

EmbraceRandom 12-07-2010 02:10 PM

Couldn't agree more.
It's like that Hard-Fi album, that just says 'NO COVER ART' on the cover. Fucking annoying.

Squirrel 12-07-2010 02:28 PM

For some reason it mildly annoys me in books when a page just has "this page is intentionally blank" written on it.

EmbraceRandom 12-07-2010 02:50 PM

Yes! :lol:
Also, it confounds its own reason, as the page is no longer blank.

Blue_Moon 12-07-2010 03:46 PM

"Seal clubbing is whack"

I said that earlier today, thought it was worth repeating

Squirrel 12-07-2010 04:52 PM

Venison's dear isn't it.

Mr Benners 12-07-2010 05:23 PM

Sup lod.

Been a long time since I posted around here, yet I still recognise most of the names. Comforting! Just wondering - what's the view on threads about one's band in Guitar?

Left Face Down 12-07-2010 05:40 PM

We slaughter a puppy for every thread you make on your band. (As we all know the kitten world is dwindling from mass-masturbation-hysteria).

I thought as much. Jam Session it is!

Oh, the shirt doesn't actually say that on the back, that's just what the site does on the pictures lol.

I don't really know many people who knew about PT before I introduced them to their music, so I can't say how a lot of the fans are. But if the people at that concert were any indication I hear what you're saying. Those are the types of people who want to seem like they're knowledgeable and unique, when in reality they're just annoying poseurs. Pisses me off 'cause then us regular fans get stereotyped.

guitarbaz 12-08-2010 03:32 AM

gig in sCUNThorpe tonight.

can't really be arsed, shit venue, shit town.

still, it's a few quid to boost the dwindling coffers.

Most hilarious post you've ever made.

:lol:

guitarbaz 12-08-2010 03:34 AM

one of my contractors introduced me to porcupine twee a while back. kind of meh tbh. but then he's a big Rush fan as well. all very samey. not too much into that progressive rambling self indulgent nonsense myself.

Sad But True 12-08-2010 06:10 AM

I'm unsurprised by how little I care about whatever the hell that ^ is about.

EDIT: Aww, spam removal makes me look like I don't care about Baz, which is just so very untrue!

Squirrel 12-08-2010 08:51 AM

Bored.

Sad But True 12-08-2010 08:56 AM

Me too.

Just out of curiosity I did some digging on that roulette scam thing and came across something called roulette bandit which is apparently quite good, if slow. I'm doing some digging on it now, checking reviews, forums, etc, to see if his claims are worth shit. It's not a big earner but a spare £100 a week really wouldn't go a miss.

EmbraceRandom 12-08-2010 09:07 AM

lol gambling.

Sad But True 12-08-2010 09:17 AM

[QUOTE=EmbraceRandom;18304275]lol gambling.[/QUOTE]

My thoughts exactly. I'm crap at gambling and I like my money (or lack therof) too much. I can play poker but that's about it and I'm nowhere near good enough to make money off it. I suppose I'm just looking for holes in his system so that I'm either proven right (that it's all horse shit) or I find that I can make money off it. Either way, I win, and it passes the time.

fingers mccoy 12-08-2010 09:20 AM

i made like 300 quid off poker when i was working up in the highlands in the summer and there was fuck all else to do

i'm not even good at it i just raped them hook line and sinker all the way down the golden river to money town in a cash raft

tbh i don't always care about my own words so it would come as no shock that others care even less! :smash:

I'm 99% positive there's no way to scam these kind of people; any flaw in design, security, whatever would be picked up upon and spread FAST, and they'd go under in hours.

There's no such thing as free money mate. The closest you're gonna get is studying a sport in and out and making well calculated bets on it. For example, i'm a boxing freak and have now won 11 out of 12 bets i've placed. Each time i've only made 10-50 quid, but it's adding up.

AG 12-08-2010 02:28 PM

Just made the most delicious chicken. Mmm.

Just sorted out my new 40k army too, Thousand Sons.

I love working at GW, a 1k army is gonna cost me all of £65ish. Yayy.

Also got 90% of our Christmas shopping done today.
