A few months ago i went through my ipod and made not of how many bands i've seen that are on my ipod. Now that is not all the bands i've seen, but a good bit of them. My count was 126.

I am always actively looking for good music so a lot of times i get to see bands whent hey aer first coming out at a club for 10 dollars instead of catching them as they are bigger and chargine 25 then 40 then 60 then 100 for a ticket.

It is the only way i can get my live music fix on my budget

(sorry don't have time to list but if i'm bored this weekend i'll come back and do it)

I was hoping nobody would see this. I was young and in love, so I got my girlfriend at the time a ticket. Thankfully she's out of my life now; I can't have a relationship with someone who put me through THAT.

Same thing happened to me with Peter Cetera era Chicago. 80's smoooooooooooth rock.

Edited to add - You get a pass anyway for having the Dresden Dolls on your list.

Should have been twice, but I didn't go to my second opportunity since I couldn't convince anyone to go with me. I've learned the error of my ways and am willing to go to shows solo when needed. My new year's resolution this year was to go to no crappy shows (ie, Disturbed), and not miss good shows (ie, PJ, Liam Finn, Deftones, etc.). So far, so good.

I think I've been to most of my concerts by myself...I'd rather go by myself than have someone there who's not enjoying it.

Disturbed? Crappy?

Their studio work is much better than the live show. One show was enough for me, the second and third were formulaic and dull. And I'm no fan of guitarists who spend an entire show watching their fingers, trying not make any mistakes; know your instrument, goddamnit!
