    Those that know me know it but don't say it.
    I think they will once I plan to fly to other Aussie cities to see them.
    I aim for 3-4 shows, will spend money on flights, hotels, plus the tickets to the show.

It is totally fine and healthy to have an obsession such as this....and actually can be very good for your health...I am one of the happiest people on the face of this earth...I think It has alot to do with my crazy obession, PEARL JAM!!!.... :mrgreen:

    I am 19, and obsessed probably sums it up. My parents are both a little freaked out from when I told them that that $140 boxed set they got me for my birthday has a little thing on the side that says "1990-1992". More freaked out when I told them there are tour rumours. I just hope it's East Coast.

    I had a GF years ago that thought I was crazy for buying all the 00 boots- she even told me at one time, "it's me or the CDs"- or something like that

    we'll just say we didn't last much longer than that :mrgreen:

    ha says the guy who just admitted his ipod is 90% PJ, buddy there are many more great bands out there other then PJ, Pearl Jam is not the be all and end all of music. Lamb of God is EASILY the best metal band on the planet right now, regardless of if you like them or hate them, hopefully one day you will be able to step outside the Pearl Jam bubble and discover all the OTHER great music there is out there.

    Also all you people complaining about your gf/bf/spouses complaining about your obsession, its really quite simple, find one who is more of a fan or equal to you, its a win win, I have 2 10c memberships in my house, that means every time something goes on sale that is 1 per member i can get 2, i get 2 deeps and singles in case other members need them, she has a better number then me, so we can buy 2 pairs of 10 c tickets and take the best pair and let friends who normally wouldn't get decent seats go. I dont have to beg or bargain to get to go to shows, i can always convince her to go to at least 5 shows a tour. She thinks I am crazy for buying a 200 dollar 10 SDE until the Vitalogy one comes out then it will be her turn :D:lol: She understands my poster obsession.... even though she feels she needs to be the voice of reason, she never threatens to sell them or burn them or leave me over them.

    seriously its win win, i recommend you all ditch your gf/bf/spouses if they are not at least equal fans and go out and find some who are, seriously there is enough of you crazies out there, i bet a lot of you are single.

    Seriously! I spent too many years married to a man who didn't like ANY of the same music as me. I sure as shit won't be making that mistake again! Bring it on! :D:D

    no no its cool to not like metal, I am just saying Lamb of God is crazy popular for a reason, because they kick major fucking ass, whether you like them or not, I dont know no one was defending them so I felt the need :D

    ok thats cool. Im sure they are good but im more into alternative and rock and folk so not much of a metalhead. Although when I was like 13 I was really into 30 seconds to mars if that counts. I dont know what I was thinking when I was 13.....

    yeah and because they ordered thru TM and got 3 seats they ended up in the back row!
    i find when you order one tix TM puts you closer.

    Yah I just bought tix to David Byrne and I found that buying one ticket gives you noticably closer seats. We ordered 2 and actually got orchestrea seating hell yah!
    I haven't had a chance to use my 10c seating yet, I hope I get good seats.
