I know! It sucks leaving without it! The last concert I went to 9Bryan Adams) they told us we couldn't take pics and my Dad and I were practically in withdrawal by the time we left. We both have 20somethingx zoom cameras and we've gotten some awesome pics, so ti sucks when we can't even do that. Some places are really kind of evil about it and in some cases we found out that the bands don't even care whether or not people take pictures.

We've made friends with a few security guards at different venues, which is a nice bonus sometimes. We never really have issues with them, just with crazy/highly intoxicated people who always seem to find us?

I have a big binder full of pics/setlists/guitar pics that I need to reorganize. I've got like an entire wall in my room filled with posters and I have 1 drumstick (that I only caught because I caught it with my face) and a couple signed CD booklets. Concerts are just so much fun. :3 I've heard of most of the others, though. Awesome groups!

I'd kill to see some British and/or Irish bands. I'm so happy The Script are coming around. I wish The Wanted or Scouting For Girls would come to the US!

Three Days Grace was like the first official meet and greet thing. They sped us all through at first but then they hung around chatting for a while, which was cool. They were really nice. :3 Saving Abel was cool like that, too, the announced they were signing during the show (at the place of awesome) so it got swarmed and we didn't really get to chat much, but it was fun. Lifehouse I've seen 2 or 3 times. They just played at my college in October and that's when I got the meet and greet, so it was cool. Fast, but cool. :3

Wow, you have cool list, too!I've seen Papa Roach and I was supposed to see Shinedown but the show got canceled ):

No taking pictures? That sucks! When I saw Godsmack at Hard Rock in Florida no cameras were allowed but I snuck in mine and did get a few decent shots but not many.
What camera you got? I currently have a Panasonic TZ6 (12x optical) am looking at upgrading to the Panasonic FZ45 (think FZ40 there).
Most of the time its the venues being shitty not the bands!

Ah yeah have had that. There was nearly a fight with Jacoby of PR and a random drunk/drugged up guy after gig in Sheffield then between Tobin and 2 guys a couple of hours later which turned into the 2 guys vs Micky and Benj of Dear Superstar(wearing a pink face mask and an abba tshirt respectively) plus majority of the PR crew. Was like wtf is happening?

I have a scrapbook with stuff so I have my photos with the band, photos I have taken of them which I have had printed and signed plus the set lists plus random stuff.
I really couldn't imagine my life without them. Am trying to get my gig blog set up atm for both my tour blogs and my pics.
My drumsticks and picks live in a box frame on my wall (or in my pen holders for some of my more recent ones and need to rearrange).

I always used to say that I wasn't a fan of British bands or bands which started with the. Broken that rule lately lol!. I am actually not all that familiar with the more mainstream British bands though. Was at a My Passion gig (think they are pretty popular gig) to see the light divided who were supporting. Ended up having to lug a load of tld gear upstairs to where backstage is (random venue). Probably got in the way of the My Passion guys and didn't have a clue who they were.
Glad to hear that 3DG are nice. They really need Europe dates!

That sucks that Shinedown got cancelled. I am a little bit in love with Eric mostly cause he is a massive sci-fi geek and we were chatting about star trek and stargate etc. Plus his wife is an environmental scientist and I am jealous of her old job lol.

Papa Roach I have acutally seen both in the US (back in 05) and here. Here the gigs are fucking mental they the same there? Probably the ones I have gotten the most beaten about at so far.

Most places will let you take pics. Sometimes they're just nasty. We can usually sneak cameras in. The weird thing at Bryan Adams was that they didn't stop people from bringing them in? They just announced it at the beginning of the show. But then at the end everyone kind of swarmed the stage and the guards couldn't get to us so we snapped away.

I have a Nikon CoolPix P100 10MP with a 26x zoom. I think. My Dad has something similar but with a smaller zoom. I love my camera. We're just kind of cursed with the drunk or silly people finding us. There's like a sign over us that just draws them in.

I love my concert binder, too. My concert tag doubles as my concert blog. xD

I am slowly discovering more and more British bands I like. I'll to check the few you mentioned out. :3 TDG needs more dates in general. I saw them back in... 2008. Been a while. I seem to recall Papa Roach's show being rather crazy, but they were opening for Staind so they didn't get to play all that long.

Thats really shitty they announced but at least you had with you.
Ah cool yeah had looked at that one as well.

Heaven's Basement in the last 18 months fast became one of my fav bands. Love those guys. Not all that often you get on a train and end up bumping into the drummer of one of your fav bands get greated enthuastically and then have an hour long conversation about whats happening with the band (a lot at the moment sadly which hopefully will all be out in the open tomorrow yay!). Seen them 25 times tis crazy.

Yeah I have a lot of my gig stuff on here but bands have asked for pictures etc and been told that my blogs are apparently interesting reads and not really wanting to direct people to my lj which is my personal blog.

Also check out The Longest Day. They are a super-local to me band which is unusal. Saw them supporting Sick Puppies and they were amazing.

Staind is another band I want to see.
Yeah go for it :D

I will check them out, for sure. :D

And, yeah, i see what you mean with the not directing to LJ thing. My LJ/fandom stuff is like completely separate from the rest of my online presence. That's cool that bands read, though. I had one guy from Rehab ask me to send him pics once, but that's it.

Awesome :)

Also, I clicked on your last.fm link in your profile. Apparently we have SUPER compatible music tastes. Mind if I friend you on there?
