The Concert Thread

Just got back from watching Mudhoney at Brighton.

Wasn't very organised and unfortunately got there late so only saw about 3 songs of the support band Thee Hypnotics but what i saw of them i enjoyed.



Mudhoney were great, I had to leave early to go for a train so was dreading missing my favourite songs but managed to see all the main set and they played quite a few songs from the SuperFuzz BigMuff EP which is my favourite and what got me into them in the first place as a teenager.



The place Concorde2 is not much bigger than a hall so even though i ended up near the back you could still see the band pretty clearly.

So it's a shame i wasn't organised enough to get there early but I really enjoyed seeing them and although not as lively as they used to be they still managed to make a hell of a lot of noise and tear the place up.

Great stuff.

The latest Mudhoney album - Digital Garbage - is supposed to be pretty good.

Classic Rock mag gave it 8/10.

Why do groups tend to announce their concerts near Xmas time when a lot (not all ) of people can't afford to buy a ticket because they are concentrating on Xmas and the cost etc.
There a few concerts I wouldn't mind but sometimes cos of Xmas you can only affords one no good if you like you're music and their quite a few groups you wouldn't mind seeing .

Just noticed Ozzy is doing a tour in Feb called 'No More Tours 2' and I thought, oh yeah, may as well give it a go...

Tickets are £77.15 in Manchester Arena... No thanks
To put that in context, Nightwish at the Arena last week, they were charging around £30 a ticket!

Tbh I think over £50 for anyone is a piss take, def leppard where £38 which is about a perfect price to see a band, but let's not forget cost of getting there money you spend on food and drink and anything else like merchandise, in the end the cost can mount to over a £100 that's a lot really just to go and see someone, places like MEN arena hold around 20 thousand people even if people paid £25 each that half a million , yes I'm aware staff to pay and the group to pay the roadies who work with the band , but then there money from the merchandise which the band get is also getting pricey, £25 a T-shirt I've resorted to buying ones the people sell outside the venue for a £10 and in some cases the designs etc are better than some of the official t-shirts, or in some cases original designs from the old official merchandise, but point is surely half a million pound in one night just from the ticket sale is enough to pay for everything considering some venue like MEN arena have 4/5 days of the week of things going on the venue , and all this doesn't include food and rink which the venue sell , i refuse to buy anything anymore in these places a beer alone cost around £6, only thing i do buy was a hot chocolate which cost me £2:60 , as usual everything mounts to just greed, that's why I prefer to go see other bands at smaller venues at least everything a tadge more affordable the bigger the venue the higher the cost .
