happypanda Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 I think she meant 'what's GA like at a gig in Australia?' I do know that ribs can be broken on the barrier at festivals like BDO... Yeah that's what I meant, but thanks Evelyn:chuckle: yeah I have heard a few stories like that, but is BDO usually more wild than gigs anyway? I haven't been to either but I have heard some BDO stories and it sounds crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The roughest part was the "mosh" for t-shirts. So after that he decided we would stay at the back of the crowd. I wasn't complaining there was no way I was going to stand for 12 hours of concert - so at the back we were able to sit between acts. My advice - US crowds for Muse aren't as surging as European crowds so if you want to queue all day and be in with a shout for barrier then you will probably be ok. Make friends with security once you are there. Are you taller/stronger than he is? If so you could always put him on barrier and then you go behind him to protect him. Note that this stage is higher than average to accomodate the towers when they are lowered. If neither of you like crowds stand back by the sound desk. Still see everything, still in GA and you will have the best "sound" for that arena. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mamababa Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 a 12 year old boy could be 6ft tall by October! not a chance! he's turning 12 IN october and he's 1/2 japanese and 1/4 chinese. my son is also the oldest kid on his soccer team and the 2nd shortest! he may gain an inch or two between now and then, but he'll still be shorter than me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmyd93 Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 I was worried about the same thing with my glasses! If you're going to a gig in the U.S. I wouldn't fret about it too much. Unfortunately (for the glasses, not for me) I'm going to Wembley...Which should be pretty epic as far as gigs go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orangiraff24 Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 oooh so excited! First Muse gig! :musesign:Not even thinking about who was going with me, I got the GA seats. I wish I would have read up on this before deciding to just go for it. But with all your guys' advice, I don't think we'll die thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheese on toast Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 So a few people are saying the gigs in the US are fairly tame.. does anyone have an idea about the Australian gigs? Australian crowds are pretty cool, although the gig I went to in 2007, we kind of managed to break the barrier Although that wasn't strictly the crowd's fault, I have to point out. Idk, it was lively but everyone seemed ready to help people out if they needed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruickyDeadstar Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 I've been to 7 MUSE gigs now, and I'm doing three more over this summer, and I could not imagine sitting down to songs like Knights of Cydonia, Plug in Baby and Stockholm Syndrome.

I will admit, it is nice to sit down for a spell during the opening to "Exogenesis: Symphony (Overture)". But...I think that's because I was standing from "We Are The Universe" => "Plug In Baby".
