Haha, I completely missed this the first time I read that post :laugh3: I always drink water when they pass it around! It makes you feel so much better after the end, especially after a high-energy gig like Muse. Haha yeah I'm about 5'2... I've never been carried forwards before though :surprised: Once a guy let me go in front of him which meant I got barrier (he was a little intoxicated at the time) :lol:

We have a fake tree because it's too hot here to grow real pines :disappointed:

I've only listened to it once... didn't really grab my attention.

I agree with all of this!! I've only ever actually left a mosh once, but even then while I was in it all the guys around me kept checking that I was OK and didn't want to leave, which I really appreciated. It's for this very reason that I usually go for barrier when I go to concerts, because otherwise I can't see and am stuck staring at people's sweaty backs, plus I'm to small to keep my spot and end up getting pushed around all over the place, neither of which I find particularly enjoyable :P As for crowd surfing, I think it's stupid. If you do it here you're likely to get kicked out, and for good reason I say... once I was at a show, front row and centre, and the security guards pulled this crowd surfer out over the top of me and he landed on me and I hit my head on the barrier... that wasn't nice :\. Finally, an advantage of being short - people can see over me! At the Muse show I went to on Sunday night, I was on barrier but I had this (rather large) girl behind me and she was trying to push in beside me, and when she figured out I wasn't going to let her in (I would've been pushed back) she just leant against me so I could barely breathe. I ended up with a bruise on my chest because of it. But of course, you can't really go into a mosh pit and not expect things like that to happen, that's really just the nature of the beast.

Well I kinda learned it yesterday, but I learned that U2 is so much better live than I had expected, and I'd expected them to be pretty good! :surprised:

Hey everyone! It's been a loooong time since I've been in this thread, how is everyone? :awesome: Haha, I used to be quite a big fan of Mika's :P

:thinking: That can't be right. According to the site, the maximum concert capacity is 13,500 including the standing area...which means that 27000 tickets available would mean they were playing to a completely empty arena :P

Haha no, not quite that crazy... I'm more likely to just lose the ability to speak properly :lol:

^ :freak: :freak: :freak: How on earth do you accidentally come across a hotel and just find out that Damon Albarn is staying there????? :lol: ...is that the Hilton? :sneaky: :P

You will have such an amazing time, believe me!! And I agree, definitely one of if not the best band I've ever seen play live! I really want to see them again! :bomb: Oh and Lore: U2 + Muse = YOU HAVE TO GO :awesome:

Glad you had a great time!! AHH YOU GOT SUNBURN AND CE??? :bomb: :bomb: I don't think you realise how jealous I am of you!! *ignores any talk about 2nd brisbane gig* Awww, that's a shame :sad: But when you're as short as I am, if you don't get barrier or second row then you have no chance of even seeing the band, so it's well worth it for me! No worries :nice: Sorry they're not GREAT quality, but they'll do :P

I went to see U2 last night, and WOW. I can't describe how amazing they were, I was completely blown away! It's well worth a two-year wait, believe me!! :awesome: I'll post up some pics when my internet starts speeding up a bit... :D

Day 10, another picture :awesome: Edit: OH AND conformation that the new album will be released on Christmas day... FREE!! :bomb: :dance: http://www.nme.com/news/gorillaz/54191 :awesome:

I know! :bomb: If only you could! Go win the lottery or something :lol: Haha, advice... where do I go (I know you can't really answer that one)? What do I say? How do I not come across as a complete nervous wreck? :lol: :dance:

The fact that I'm going to see U2 tonight :D

Thanks :nice: Yeah I got barrier!! Totally worth the 8-hour wait... :uhoh: :lol: Going to try and do the same thing when I go see U2 tonight, just got to wait for my bro to come home... Edit: I don't know if it because I haven't watched as many videos as I thought I had, but I've never heard Matt sing the second part of the intro to KoC like he did on Sunday night :wacky: 'twas SO amazing :D

OK! So, my pictures are still uploading (they're taking FOREVER) but my videos are up! Sound and picture quality can be a bit dodgy on both, but they're not too bad. Please excuse the awful singing/screaming of my friends and myself... Im pretty sure in a couple of them you can hear my voice give way :embarrassed: (it's still recovering :lol:) [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKzLPWpqcq8]Intro + Uprising[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKfHu2ZMt0Q]Undisclosed Desires[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhSzBlbMUHg]House of the Rising Sun Riff + Time is Running Out[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0S1lHP89Wo]Plug in Baby[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggdQksckEq0]Exogenesis 1 + start of Stockholm Syndrome[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzV4hOgQz4Y]Man with Harmonica + Knights of Cydonia[/ame]

^ Oh my bad, I didn't realise some of us hadn't improved their taste in music since they were 9 years old... :P

IKR! Ahh, the nostalgia :nice: ...and here I was thinking it was an Australian show :embarrassed: My memory clearly fails me :lol:

^^I've seen a few videos from that site and I agree, there are some great ones! So it seems that SUPER DECEMBER (:lol:) is well and truly under way! U2 tonight for me, and I've been confirmed to be working at Jack Jonhson (who played last night in Melbourne, I believe) on Monday night, Muse are playing their first night in Sydney tonight, and Gorillaz kicked off the Aussie leg of their tour on Monday night. Whew! :awesome:

TONIGHT!!! :dance:

^ HAVE FUN!!!! :awesome: You will have a blast!! :D Art Attack!! Man I used to love that show :lol:

Seconded, GOOD LUCK LORE!! :awesome: Haha, those Christmas baubles do look a tad expensive lol. I kinda want to get the coasters, they'd sold out of them after my gig :disappointed:

I also really like it, and your voice is great! Now I really want to hear what you 'normally' sing like :lol: SCAVENGER HUNT! :awesome: They just keep bringing out the goodies don't they? :laugh3:
