Do it too! It's fun!


Concerts & Shows:

1) How many concerts have you been to? Oh, I don't know... Somewhere around 20-30, I'd guess...
2) Who have you seen live? Ok, let's try this... Rock Voisine, Bryan Adams, Kevin Parent, The Watchmen, Big Wreck, Planet Smashers, Sarah McLaughlan, INXS, The Killers, Bryan Byrne, JUICE, Stabilo, Cat Empire, One Republic, Colbie Caillat, Lukas Rossi, Stars Down, Juke Kartel, Dilana, Supernova, Greg Neufeld, Channel One, Daughtry, Puddle of Mudd, Nickelback, Avril Lavigne, Blake Lewis, Chris Richardson, David Cook, Michael Johns, Oliver Pigott, Sebastian Pigott... I bet I'm forgetting some, but...
3) Who would you like to see live? Jason Mraz, The Trews, The Dunes, To Have Heroes, Pearl Jam, and of course see many of the bands I've lready seen...
4) Which band have you seen live the most? INXS, 7 times, and waiting for more!
5) What is your favorite venue to see a show? In town, Massey Hall
6) Have you ever met anyone famous at a concert? If so, who? I have had the chance to meet many of the artists I've seen play, either before or after the shows. It's always a lot of fun, and I've only ran into gracious, fun and appreciative artists so far.
7) Have you ever been front row for a concert? If so, what show? Well duh! Front row is the best place to be. I've been front row many times, but the best one was for INXS in Toronto. OH MY!
8) What were the worst seats you’ve ever had at a show? The only real bad seat I've ever had was for my very first big arena concert, Bryan Adams back in the 80's. We were in the nosebleed... Still, I was up on my feet, dancing and screaming and having a good time!
9) Have you ever gotten in a fight with someone at a show? No. But I threw dirty looks to some obnoxious, intoxicated peeps. And I received a few from people who were seated and wanted me to sit down. How obnoxious! If they want to sit at a rock show, they should stay the fuck home!
10) What was the best concert you’ve ever been to and when? (only one!) I can't answer that! I love different concerts for different reasons. But if I absolutely had to choose... Probably INXS in Toronto in 2006 at the ACC.
11) What is the worst concert you’ve ever been to and when? (only one!) The Killers. I love the band, but they are just. not. good live.
12) Which band/artist always has the best merch? I don't buy much merch aside from albums, so I wouldn't know...
13) Which band do you have the hardest time buying tickets for? I've had a heck of a time buying tickets for INXS, but usually it's not so bad buying tickets since I like smaller scaled bands.
14) If you could choose one person that would go with you to every concert you see from now until the day you die, who would it be? Can't decide - different peeps for different artists! I wanna go to concerts with enthusiastic fans, first and foremost.

Some Random Questions…

1) Who is the best looking male and female artist out there today?
Male = David Cook, Female = I don't know

Music Survey - Concerts

For once I found a survey floating around on the net that was about music!!! Just some silly fluff... :)


List 10 artists you've seen live in concert - no peeking at the questions before

1. INXS
2. Lukas Rossi
3. Greg Neufeld
4. The Killers
5. One Republic
6. Blake Lewis
7. Daughtry
8. Planet Smashers
9. The Watchmen
10. Bryan Adams


Song you wish you'd seen number 2 do?
His entire catalogue?

How many times have you seen number 3?
Only once... He'll be at The Berkely Church on the 29th of december, so hopefully my answer here will change!

Where did you see number 9 play?
Montreal. Can't remember the name of the club, but it was small - 500 at most... The crowd was so not into it, it was pretty bad... It's too bad, the band was AWESOME!!!

Favorite song number 8 played?
Pee in the Elevator - it's such a silly song, but the beat is awesome and you can't help but move to it!

Who did you see number 7 with?
With friends! Beth, Brenda and Roberta. Love those girls! They let me get my fangirl on. :)

Favorite venue you've seen 4 play?
I've seen them once.

Favorite concert moment from number 6?
Well, Blake was not exactly by himself on stage the whole concert. Yep, I went to an American Idol Tour concert... Hey, I had to do it to see Blake! Favorite moment from him would have to be the whole freaking thing. From his little 3 songs set where he loops himself to the medley he sang with Chris Richardson to the beat boxing battle... All of it was great.

Best thing about number 1's performance?
I've seen INXS 7 times in 2 years. They ALWAYS deliver. They are a fantastic live band that really, really connects with the crowd. All of them, including the drummer. Even if you are sort of meh on their music... Go see them live. You won't regret it!

Why did you go to see number 10?
Coz I love him! I saw him almost 15 years ago. It was only the second concert I had attended... We had cheap tickets in the nosebleeds, but it was still totally worth it. I danced my booty off in the stands, and sang along at the top of my lungs. It was great!

How many times have you seen number two?
Once with Supernova and three times as a solo act. I hope to see him again real soon with his new band, Stars Down!

Favorite concert you've ever been to for number 8?
I've only seen them once, so I guess that was my favorite from them!

Best cover song you've seen from number 4?
They did not play a cover song

Would you go to see number 7 again?
In a heart beat. The one time I've seen them, they were opening for another band, but I was totally there for Daughtry only. So I can't wait to go see them as the headliner!

Song you never really liked until seeing number 1 in concert?
None of them. I have my favorites, but everything they play I love.

Which albums do you own from number 6?
His American Idol EP *LOL* and his debut album, Audio Day Dream

Worst thing about number 3's concert?
It was way too short! He opened for Lukas Rossi and played for about 30-45 minutes. I could have listen to him sing and play for the entire night.

The only three songs that number 3 would have to play to make a concert?
Rewind
Ever You
I'm Ready

How far did you travel to see number 5?
I've seen them once, in my own city. I'll see them again for sure when they come back here.
