"Blink 182 standing tickets sold out?!?!?!?!?!?!?!"

This made me laugh, the standing tickets for Blink 182's wembely arena gig sold out and they aren't even on sale until Saturday. Blink allowed you, through their website, to book the tickets two days earlier. Wasn't publicised or well known but now they have all sold out. Standing anyway.

Now I'm lucky to have ordered mine at 9:38, 8 minutes after going on sale, and I've got mine coming. But does anyone know if these "pre-released" tickets are just short-supply ones? It is just my Brother really wishes to go but they've sold out as he didn't know that through a single site you can get hold of them.

Is it likely when they go on general release on saturday that standing tickets will be avalible again.

He blames me for not ordering the tickets for him... what does he think I'm made of money?

Unfortunately, yes.
Not by my own accord mind, they just happened to be one of the bands playing at a festival thingy I went to with my friend.

There was NO atmosphere, it was just a bunch of 13 year-old idiots moshing like idiots. I doubt they even noticed the music, which was also awful.

Now, that looks stupid.

I'll take that back.

It depends on the band playing and if they sound good there. Bands that like to do small club shows don't suit Wembley Arena.

And it sucks anyway.

Live performances just aren't about as many instruments and moshing is going on. Sure, its impossible NOT to get caught up in a performance, but it's not ever about how makes the liudest noise etc.

RATM would be far more powerful than Slipknot et al because;

A) They were actually good
B) They had some insanely good songs that actually meant something
C) I think Zac De La Rocha jumping around next to Tom Morello would send most rock fans into a spasm of delight anyway...

:D

You should see the number of people in the "So Solid Crew"...

Limp Bizkit are the greatest live band I've ever seen.

And I don't even like them.

So that's an acchievement.

Isn't 9 people in one band a little excessive?

Do you have a point there Memorandum ? Have you ever seen them live?

Even if you hate them, the sheer power coming from everyone in the crowd screaming along and 9 people on stage all playing instruments in Sync. is absolutely amazing.

You be able to get another 9 people doing it as good as they do.
