We’re trying to blag the guest list and Will says”I don’t want anyone to see us” … make of that what you want Doesn’t bode well ….. Oh well there’s always alcohol to make it sound better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshVilla Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 £70.60 for the cheapest tickets to see Tool in May I mean, I still bought them because it's Tool, but bloody hell. I'm sure I only paid about £50 odd to see them last year and we had seats near the front. £70 this time to sit right at back! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did you buy them from , are you a member of some sort of something ? I’m going to try Friday once general sale arrives.

Davkaus Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 (edited) I don't mind a bit of tool, but have absolutely no interest in an all-seated rock gig, it's ridiculous. Think I'm one of the rowdy oiks they're trying to keep out Edited November 15, 2023 by Davkaus 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a Tool thing, they've done it for years, every other gig I've been to at the same venues has standing on the floor, but the band don't like it.

Popular Post tonyh29 Posted November 16, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 16, 2023 Queens of the Stone Age at the O2 last night. Don’t actually own any of their music but i saw them at a festival in Madrid a few years back and they put in a decent show so was more than happy to see them again they didn’t disappoint, we were standing about 30 rows from the front and soon as the first song started there was just a surge and before I knew it I was about 4 rows from the front being bounced around inside a mosh pit of hard core fans … didn’t stay in it long there’s only so many hairy topless men bouncing into me on a school night i can take , but will definitely see them again , with alcohol so I can enjoy the mosh pit and not feel my 53 years !! Ears are still ringing , one of the loudest gigs I’ve been too in a while … 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted November 16, 2023 Author Share Posted November 16, 2023 I went to a gig in Komedia, Bath once. The band had requested seats and so the venue was decked out with stacking chairs. No, the band had requested seats, for the band. We all had to work as a team and stack all the seats to the side before they started. Saving five to pass up to the stage, for the band.

chrisp65 Posted November 20, 2023 Author Share Posted November 20, 2023 I’m off to see Billy Bragg on Friday. Not completely up to date with Billy, will it be entirely ‘new’ stuff or will he give us the ‘classics’? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A quick check and it's mainly the material up to William Bloke with a smattering of post William Bloke through the set.

chrisp65 Posted November 20, 2023 Author Share Posted November 20, 2023 Magic, cheers. Weirdly, it’ll be the 4th time I’ve seen him live but that includes the in/famous RedWedge tour and as part of a Woodie Guthrie tribute night and an awful night in a comedy club down Cardiff Bay where he announced it was great to be back in England.
