  1. Was that pre-Viv or Free? Luckily got to see them 4 times while they toured Free so I'm glad I got to experience some popless shows. The larger venue tour they did in May '15 was great fun though.

     

    Pre-Free... I never really saw Vivarium as an album, more of a long EP :p it was early 2011 just before Free was released. I was dragged along by my ex and never really got into them until quite a lot later despite going to a fair few gigs... I really wish I'd been paying more attention now, especially when arcane roots and dinosaur pile-up supported :'(

  2. Those feels

     

    And how did you manage that? Must have been great to watch the soundcheck

     

    I collated and got printed some books to give to them with a load of fan stories and thanks from a fan group on facebook... made one for Neil too and gave it to him on the second night and he said not to give them to the rest of the guys until the next day. Got a call a couple of hours before doors and was told to meet someone at the side entrance and was put in a cupboard for about 20 minutes until Neil came and found me :LOL:

     

    At least I have a better chance of them remembering me for next time.

     

    Oh the amount of situations that could apply to :rolleyes:

     

    On another note... does anyone know how to deal with a string that is seemingly perfectly intonated on every note except for an open string which is significantly flat? I'm currently stuck tuning down half a step and putting a capo on the first fret :(

  3. go on

     

    or is it too late now?

     

     

     

    Another song I wish I saw/need to see. They probably would've played it too if I asked them that time before their gig :$ felt like I was asking for too much after a picture and autographs though

    Oh man, I really fucking miss those Barras gigs... everything I went to for a few months after just seemed a little bit... not Barras...

     

    Getting to go backstage before the gig on the last night to watch the soundcheck and hand over the fan books is pretty much the highlight of my life

  4. I would go, but the street party at Hogmanay is an odd place. Also tickets are £50 and Biffy will likely play 5 or 6 songs before heading off. Not worth it in my view, would rather spend the night in Hive... :eyebrows:

     

    I wonder if I'll be called out for that.

     

    They played 17 songs last time they were there! Still perhaps not worth the £50, but y'know... New Year

  5. I won't be going till 7 so there better be some meaty mosh pits.

     

    Just remembered I've only been to the Barrowlands in Summer, is there a cloakroom?

     

    There is, 2 an item... The first time I went there I ended up running into the cloakroom thinking it was the arena :LOL:

  6. Depends if they can take out all the seating round the sides. If that's permanent seating then there will be seated tickets. It's a totally different venue to say Manchester Academy which looks like this:

    Yes there is seating, but seating tickets are seating tickets, general admission tickets are not seating tickets.

  7. I think there is a permanent seating area in the venue so some of the tickets will be seated.

     

    Think this is it:

    GA means GA, people have phoned ticketmaster seemingly hundreds of times in the past few days about it... it's always the same, I don't think I've ever had a GA ticket without a seat number or at least some numerical designation on it...

  8. I think it will mostly be standing, but who knows how they will lay it out. I'm sure I selected standing when I ordered, but on TM it says:

     

    Section TICKET Row

    GA9 Seats 35

     

    :(

     

    FFS they aren't seats... GA9 is general admission, they just put a seat number on tickets for admin purposes.
