I couldn't live without music.
I'm always listening to stuff. CD's, vinyl albums, Spotify etc.
I do prefer seeing bands live. Big arena gigs are cool but some of the best shows I've seen have been "underground" bands playing at poky little clubs like JB's in Dudley or The Underworld in Camden. Going to small clubs to see bands is brilliant because you can get close to the band and a lot of them come and have a pint with the fans after they've played their show. Practically every band I've seen in that situation are great people who are no different from the fans on the floor or in the pit. I've sat and drunk beer with ex Faith No More guitarist Jim Martin backstage at JB's, had a 20 minute conversation about speedway with Lee Dorrian of Cathedral and had a hug from the singer of Alabama Thunderpussy for venturing out to see his band on a cold, wet Monday night.
Listening to the new Maxwell album at the mo. Pretty good :thumbup:
I love watching live bands - anything from U2 and REM at the stadiums to little known local bands at Clwb Ifor Bach or Barfly. You can't beat the raw sound of live music :thumbup:
I make my living as a musician but when i've finished for the day I switch off. I don't know if that makes me a philistine. ( Hebrew scriptures respected). For me to see a live act, (classical. Jazz, blues, etc). they must me special.
I'm getting right into Paolo Nutini at the mo....
I love live music - I think were quite lucky here in Bristol as we have a great music scene.
Funlovers - I agree Muse is brill!! :thumbup:
I adore going to concerts - usually classical.
Lots of tickets for the Welsh Proms in the next fortnight.
:bounce:
I'm waiting for some tickets to the Slits
Motorhead & The Damned next week!
on the same bill... glory!

NUMAN TOMMORROW OMG PLEASURE PRINCIPLE CLASSIC ALBUM TOUR!!!! EXCITED ::::EXPLODES:::
On the CD reissues, yes. Instrumental, all synths, very clearly Gary Numan 1979 - no-one else managed that sound I think it's because he just played power chords on moogs fed through guitar effects pedals that made his sound so distinctive. Pity he changed so much but then again Haunted off his last album blows away most industrial records so... anyway Random is a good track.
you like your Numan, I can tell.
(see I spelt it right this time? Im learning)
