Kasabian

I think there's a bit in the tutorials that shows you how...scroll down a bit to find it.

Love your avatar! We only had one support (thank God!). That is curious. Don't know about anyone being let in early at the Academy. I was first in line and when we went in there was no one else there, and no support act. One of the roadies (the old grizzled one) brought out a pink birthday cake and gave some of the people in line a piece!

LOL! What possessed you to wear sandals!! At least you got them back. I know my friend was a bit worried for me cos Kasabian fans have a bit of a bad rep at shows - throwing cups of pee around and fighting and such, but the crowd were great. Rowdy. But no pee. No fights. The guy next to me used my shoulder as a arm rest, but other than that...

It was hot Razz

I knew there would be issues. Hmmm it's so weird about the support act, and it's a shame I can't find them on internet 'cause they were bloody good Sad

Some guy elbowed me in the back so hard and 'cause I'm quite short and the barrier reached my chest, my breast bone is killing me and my arms were either up all night on resting on the barriers so they hurt. I did use some guy's shoulder to rest my head 'cause I was so knackered, the same guy that told me about the shoes, and he didn't seem to mind which was ok. Just can't get over the smile from Tom *sighs*. Ok will now try and upload best pics.

I have loads more so I might set up and account on Flickr, so people can see the rest.

You know, most of the time I'd rather have guys behind me than girls. Girls always try to push their way through and take your place. A girl tried to do that to my friend Kim at the 2ndElbow Apollo show, a girl did that to me at this other show, and another girl tried (but failed, ha ha!) at Kasabian. I hate that. it's already crowded at the front, I got there first, I waited in line, it's MY spot! Finally the pushy girls abandoned ship and it was just the guys. Fine by me.

Can't wait to see your pics!! Mine are on Flickr, I think I already posted the link.

Yeah I totally agree with the guys vs girls ting, and a guy behind my mate did keep apologizing. And thanks. I think that's my fave too. I only took pics during the encore songs, so I could dance like a mad woman during the main set. My fingers were really sweating (lovely) and I was holding onto the camera as if my life depended on it. Downside of that was I was to busy taking pictures to sign or bop along to Vlad Sad

Oooh I'd love to see you pictures.

Here's a link to my flickr page. I went mental. I took over 100 photos! Most nbad!! LOL! But I am quite pleased with a few of them....

Oh, Vlad! "GET LOOSE GET LOOSE!" That and Club Foot...geeez! The crowd went NUTS!!!!!! Oh and Processed Beats!!!! Empire! Fast Fuse!! Shoot the Runner!!! LSF!!! Sigh, what a fab night... drunken

Wow those pics are amazing. Tom pulls the funniest faces and the one of Serge and his acoustic guitar is just Shocked

. I have just made my own Flickr page yayy (which is bad for a photography student as I was supposed to do it ages ago Smile

) And all the photos that are clear enough are up. Oh and yeah most of the songs made people crazy. Probably Fire, Club Foot, Cutt Off and Empire were the most popular. I wish they would play the B.I.C in Bournemouth in November Sad

They've played there before. That and Richard Hawley bypassing the south has made me annoyed *shakes fist*.

Oh, yours are sooo good!! But, yeah, it is strange. I did a search and couldn't find you either...maybe cos it's brand new? I still kind of new to flickr so don't know all the ins and outs yet.

I am impressed, deeply impressed by your excellent Tom photos. I found him annoyingly hard to shoot as he moved around so much.

Thanks v v much. Yeah he really is a fidgety thing, but I was kinda lucky that he would crouch or stand right over me. I think the photos were pretty good for a 5mp camera. I read up on why my photos can't be seen and apparently it takes a couple of days to appear in searches, so all I have to do now is wait. Also I really wanna bootleg of the gig. Any ideas?

Serge is beautiful...but Tom is incredibly magnetic, especially on film. Did you know that he was going to be in Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette but had band commitments? Videos like Empire, Club Foot and Fire, they're like little films and I always wish they'd go on!!! I really love those videos. That look he gives the firing squad at the end of Empire is amazing.

............ I got there first, I waited in line, it's MY spot!

What I used to do (in my teenage years) is use my belt to attach myself to the front-barrier, so there was no budging me no matter how much pushing and shoving was going on!
In hindsight, probably not the wisest thing to do from a safety point of view but I didn't care at that stage!

I just grabbed onto the barrier and clung on. The bitch put up a decent fight but in the end gave it up as a lost casue. I really really really hate that.

Girl Kasabian fans are the worst though (present company excluded). When I was waiting in line for their HMV show this horrible horrible girl in front of me let two of her friends cut in front of me and just ignored my protests. Then one of the horrible girl's friends grabbed the tamboiurine that Tom had handed to me out of my hand. The worst thing is that that horrible girl is in every live video I see of Kasabian, so it's like she haunts me. May she die, go to hell and listen to nothing but Lily Allen songs for all eternity.
