Powerage5 Posted March 6, 2010 Posted March 6, 2010 Powerage. I am sure this has been asked and answered by you.But how in the hell can you afford all the shows?!I'm actually really splurging this year. Last year I went to far more shows, but they were relatively cheap (Almost half of them were $20 or less, and several were free). However, this year I have a better paying job (I'm making $9.50 now as opposed to $7.25), and I'm working far more hours. I'm also doing photography for a small time magazine on the side. I'm really tight on money for this summer though, and I'm done adding concerts to my list, especially with this batch of North American Maiden shows. I'm on the verge of selling one of my guitars, I'm waiting to see how much these Maiden shows are. Quote
Mansin Humanity Posted March 7, 2010 Posted March 7, 2010 Man, I thought I liked State Radio...But seriously, it's awesome you get to do all that. I would if I could. Quote

Yea, exactly why I'm doing it. Not only I know I won't be able to do it forever, but I know a lot of bands I go see won't be around much longer. Last time I saw Maiden I was 16, and I wasn't old enough to be able to do all this traveling, especially to see one band. I know their time is limited, and I'm doing everything I can to see everything I can while the option is still there. Yes, it's a shitload of money, but I know it will be worth every penny. Quote

GivenToFly Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 Aerosmith, baby! I'm not gonna go "oh my god oh my god oh my god", but it is a dream come true for me. I've been waiting for this for, what, 8 or 9 years now. Also, first day of Hard Rock Calling Festival (Hyde Park) - Pearl Jam and a bunch of bands I don't really care about.I'm hoping GNR or Slash will come around here (and at a convenient time for me!)Maybe Mark Knopfler...
