i'ld have to agree 100% ...it's a rare enough treat as it is.Eva wrote:Even the perfect recording isn't worth missing the front row experience imho....
there was a german guy stood next to me at NMA last month with a minidsc. i chatted to him a bit before and as they came on i was politely asked to not speak during the gig or bang into him. i just nodded politely: WE WERE THREE ROWS FROM THE FUCKIN' STAGE!!! ....i didn't see him again.
Well I was handsome and I was strong
And I knew the words to every song.
"Did my singing please you?"
"No! The words you sang were wrong!"

@ BrideofFrankenstein: So Front of House is frontrow? Sorry I'm slowly and thick sometimes...
If I'm recording it's either in the frontrow, where I can behave like the proper barrier monkey I am and hold onto the barrier for dear life, or it's at the back around where the mixing desk is (only if it isn't The Sisters playing), as no recording survives the moshpit, which starts directly behind the frontrow. As to chatting nicely to people asking them to be quiet - I've given up. They either forget, don't care or - as has happened to other people - decide to ruin your recording on purpose. Usually I'm with good friends and it's at least the three of us in the frontrow, so if I have a nutter directly behind me and having my shoulder between his/her ugly voice and my mic isn't enough, I swap places with one of said friends until the screeching, shouting, hissing, humming, whatever subsides. Or, and this is even better, the lovely ladies (you know who you are! ) are with us and any - especially female - nutter will be elbowed into ablivion and away from us within seconds.

Well, if I would have been aware you were recording in Lokeren I wouldn't have shouted along like my life depended on it Hope I did not ruin it and I'll remember it for the next timeEva wrote:As to chatting nicely to people asking them to be quiet - I've given up.

Er.... I haven't considered you a nutter, but if you say so... No, honestly, people I know have never been the problem, It's those you don't know, those who shout "MOTHERFUCKER" during the whole gig (male, Leipzig 03) or "ANDIE, ANDIE...." (female, Vienna 05) that are a pain in the arse. People I know, like HLers and Dominion people - wether loud or quiet - are part of the party and part of the fun.Obviousman wrote: Well, if I would have been aware you were recording in Lokeren I wouldn't have shouted along like my life depended on it Hope I did not ruin it and I'll remember it for the next time

Alright, thanks Don't know if I'm entirely sane, really
I can't stand people shouting the same thing throughout an entire gig too, get a dictionary for f**k's sake!
And I excused myself right after the Lokeren gig when I saw you turning your MD off already anyway

I'll leave that decision up to you...Obviousman wrote:Alright, thanks Don't know if I'm entirely sane, really
Exactly...Obviousman wrote:I can't stand people shouting the same thing throughout an entire gig too, get a dictionary for f**k's sake!
As far as I can remember there was no reason for excuses.... (if you continue like that everybody will keep half a mile distance to me at the next gig and that's not the intention (unless they're between me and the frontrow, but that's not going to happen)...Obviousman wrote:And I excused myself right after the Lokeren gig when I saw you turning your MD off already anyway

It's shameful to see how far I go for the mere promise of shortbread
