What concerts did you attend in 2023 ?

[rubysdad]

My Chemical Romance, Ghost and Maneskin.

Gigs, which I think are a different kettle.
The Fat Thing and The Ergot Derivative and Hoff and the Night Riders.
Dead Salesmen duo.

Did not want to leave the house much this year, things are looking up for the next.

[LAglamrocker]

I usually wait and GF is pressuring me to go see The Coverups tomorrow but I don't wanna


I could barely get out of bed the first few months of 2023, just look at my activity from Aug to Dec 2022 - how do you go back to living life when that comes to an end? I did want to go see Ace Frehley and Ice Cube but just couldn't get it together. And before the roommate drama and near housing crisis struck I was supposed to go see Chloe Bailey at Novo May 3. I rarely keep track of the ones I don't go to but I still feel that one for some reason. But I guess that was worth sacrificing because I have my own place now. Also I enjoy being home now hence the long gaps instead of just wanting to get out of the house and ending up at REO Speedwagon

My Son The Hurricane


Enjoyed them All. Best was probably Bush. I was always a casual fan, but they played for 90 mins....all the hits and they sounded great and had a ton of energy.

Most fun was My Son the Hurricane. Had never heard of them, but imagine a cross of Big Band, Eminem, Elton John... Rock, Rap, Pop... Everything mashed into one. Actually,, was the most fun I have had at a concert in a very long while.

With that many KISS shows you should change your user name to "karaokker". Then again, three "k"s is problematic. How about "mimmer"?

Bruce Springsteen (UBS Arena in Long Island City)

Misfits w/ The Gaslight Anthem (Prudential Center, Newark NJ)
The Darkness (Starland Ballroom, Sayreville NJ)

WTF!

Would it be odd to assume the following...

1. You either inherited a grip of money, come from a rich family and own NO other possessions than the clothes on your back?

* Who would have time for anything else in life going to all of these shows?

2. You have NO job.

3. You have NO kids.

4. You have NO chick, or... she's as BIG as a music nerd as YOU are.

5. You have NO life, other than these concerts and THIS message board.

6. You have NO clue what good LIVE music is, (I see NO Tuff shows on this list).

7. You are either DEAF or close to going to DEAF after sitting through all of that.

8. I can't think of anything for 8.

9. You are INSANE.

10. You are BROKE and live in a gutter now after blowing all of your money on concerts last year.

I usually wait and GF is pressuring me to go see The Coverups tomorrow but I don't wanna


I could barely get out of bed the first few months of 2023, just look at my activity from Aug to Dec 2022 - how do you go back to living life when that comes to an end? I did want to go see Ace Frehley and Ice Cube but just couldn't get it together. And before the roommate drama and near housing crisis struck I was supposed to go see Chloe Bailey at Novo May 3. I rarely keep track of the ones I don't go to but I still feel that one for some reason. But I guess that was worth sacrificing because I have my own place now. Also I enjoy being home now hence the long gaps instead of just wanting to get out of the house and ending up at REO Speedwagon

WTF!

Would it be odd to assume the following...

1. You either inherited a grip of money, come from a rich family and own NO other possessions than the clothes on your back?

* Who would have time for anything else in life going to all of these shows?

2. You have NO job.

3. You have NO kids.

4. You have NO chick, or... she's as BIG as a music nerd as YOU are.

5. You have NO life, other than these concerts and THIS message board.

6. You have NO clue what good LIVE music is, (I see NO Tuff shows on this list).

7. You are either DEAF or close to going to DEAF after sitting through all of that.

8. I can't think of anything for 8.

9. You are INSANE.

10. You are BROKE and live in a gutter now after blowing all of your money on concerts last year.

He posts his list every year. This is a "light" year for him!

Light is right!

Only 1 show in January and only 2 in Febuary. I probably beat him during those 2 months - but I don't Excel spreadsheet this shit so who thafuk knows...

Because of the chick. But I took her to see Matchbox 20.

WTF!

Would it be odd to assume the following...

1. You either inherited a grip of money, come from a rich family and own NO other possessions than the clothes on your back? I am trying to get rid of all my junk. But no inheritance or rich family.

* Who would have time for anything else in life going to all of these shows?

2. You have NO job. No job

3. You have NO kids. No kids

4. You have NO chick, or... she's as BIG as a music nerd as YOU are. Actually have a chick which is kind of a fluke but she tolerates it and tags along from time to time.

5. You have NO life, other than these concerts and THIS message board. Pretty much. Most message boards are dead unfortunately.

6. You have NO clue what good LIVE music is, (I see NO Tuff shows on this list). I saw Tuff 2016-ish I think

7. You are either DEAF or close to going to DEAF after sitting through all of that. Yep. Right ear is totally messed up, even messes up my balance.

8. I can't think of anything for 8. Can you believe I do most of this on public transportation? Spending money on a car is just one thing I sacrificed for this lifestyle

9. You are INSANE. Probably

10. You are BROKE and live in a gutter now after blowing all of your money on concerts last year. Getting there
