I went to see Emilie Autumn last night.It was phenomenal. Beautiful women in very little yet gorgeous clothing making fantastic music, getting off with each other and spraying rum into the audience. Plus, a chance to get all dressed up in my new corset.
It was very nearly the best gig I've been to. Would have been if there'd been signing after, but I had to make do with a poster.
What's the best gig you've ever been to?

I have no idea what you're banging on about.Best individual gig was probably Greenday at the MK bowl.
It was great because so many of my friends were there and it was amazing weather

just going to put blaireau69's admition of assault in a thread he can't deleteI'm all shook up, having just been involved in an altercation.
I caught a scrawny yoof trying to liberate stuff from the back of my van.
When I challenged him (oy, what the fuck?) instead of doing el nasho grande he decided to attack me!
I'm not the smallest of blokes so was a little surprised by this course of action.
There was a minor tussle and the scrawny yoof found himself on the ground with, I suspect, a couple of broken ribs. I came out of it unharmed but my right hand is a little sore.
I really did thump him about as hard as I could, seriously conscious of trying to hurt him rather than just defend myself. This disturbs me.
I feel a bit sick now.
What has disturbed you today?

Wasn't really an admission of assault, was it?Like I said, I was attacked by someone trying to rob my bodies out of my van and I defended myself, albeit with more than a little vigour.

"I really did thump him about as hard as I could, seriously conscious of trying to hurt him rather than just defend myself."You could get away with use of reasonable force to defend yourself. So yes, this is pretty much an admission of assault, regardless of whether he was trying to rob you or not.

as chompy saysweather etc. can play a part. who you have attended with. whether you are on drugs and if that helped.
for example, by some criteria, massive attack was my best, because I was with some french people I didn't know, in denmark, smoking hash through a pipe in the sun, which was great, but performance and quality of musicwise, they can't match any of the times I've seen metallica for instance.

Kasabian and The Music for my 21st birthdayStood in the VIP area, Tom Meighan walked past grinning full on at me and touched my arm, The Music came on and I love them, they had a massive drum kit and the whole band played a set on them, it was amazing.
edit: I think it was so great because it was the first concert that I had been to that I had really really wanted to go to, everything else before and since has been more about friends asking me to go. None of my friends listen to the same music as I do so I can't go with them and have as good of a time.
