Try start a group of people standing at the front. That happened when I saw Liam Finn, we were quite far away but people started dancing at the front so I managed to get in front row <3333

well it's assigned seating, and they have ushers that don't let you get too close unless you have a ticket... good idea though.

:(

 

 

I get to be front row at mine if I get there early enough :awesome:

lucky! so then i take it you got general admission tickets then

one week until i see them live... soooo psyched! :dance:

 

Awesome! where are you seeing them?

 

EDIT: Nevermind! I've just read that it's at Radio City Music Hall. It's just the one gig they're doing here in the States... is it a special event?

Have lots and lots of fun mate!! I'm sure it'll be amazing!

 

I'm still trying to figure out if I can see them, 'cause it's in another country and I cant go alone!

March 23 - Auckland, NZ - Civic Theatre

 

 

If I was alone I would go up there to see that, but my parents obviously won't let me :(

I love The Rain's chord progression. It's so unusually arranged yet it gives the song just the right amount of bite.

^ Yeah, it's pretty awesome! I love the ending when you he just strums down and it's still sounds awesome, so much energy.

 

I'm trying to play Mind's Made Up on piano, damn you Marketa for being so good :P! It's alot harder than I thought!

Is it? I never bothered to learn it except on guitar. I've had my hands full getting the sonofabitch 5/4 time signature down at the end with all the crazy yelling. Damn you Glen for being so good! :P

^ Yeah, it is! Although, I am not a good pianoplayer though, I'm sure a pro would do it easily, but damn, it is pretty hard :P.

 

Yeah, I'm still working on it on the guitar as well, it is a SOB indeed, but damn the song is so good!

 

I want to play it on piano and guitar so I can jam alone :lol:!

Hey if you ever get the piano part record it and send it to me. I'll add guitar and we can make our own overtheinternets version! :awesome:

Hahaha, that would be awesome :lol:!

 

I'll work my ass off for it! But today, that piano made me mad, haha!

Coolio, only problem is me doing Glen's vocal part. :(

 

oh well we all suck compared to glen and mar :P

 

 

Off-topic, this is the most depressed-looking smiley:

 

:sad2:

Haha, yeah! Well, dont expect me to sing the Mar part :lol.:!

 

Hahaha, yeah we do :P.

 

Aww, that's soo sad :(.

DP!

 

Dont know if you guys have seen this, but it's pretty kool!
