Don't think I've ever walked into a gig before half 8. The support acts are always worth missing.

I don't understand why people go to a gig so late. Unless you know who the support is, which you rarely do, then how can you decide that they'll be pants. I've been to gigs where the support band far outshone the main act. The Deftones at Braehead supported by Biffy Clyro was one particular occasion where the support was sensational.

Even if the support is crap, you just get a few beers and chat to friends.

I'm not telling you

but I have no idea why you keep cropping up, we don't even work in the same sector.

The only thing that connects us is here ¬.¬

Well I saw king blues at roundhouse last night, doors at 7, they were on at 9..so 8 is a safe bet to be fair. Then again your support acts might not be called Cerebral Ballzy.

Some dude

I don't like to admit I have IT geeks on my Linkin

I'll use some Google-Fu later and I'll find you

In the mean time...more decorating

I got there 2 hours early when I went.

Easy enough to push through though!

I used to think like this, until British Sea Power supported Manic Street Preachers last year, who are now one of my favourite bands

Tunney · 3 Nov 2011 at 14:47

Get there for about 10:15pm. Most bands save their good stuff for the encore.

lrlcr · 3 Nov 2011 at 14:50

Turn up just before rush hour, see what the queue is like and if you don't want to wait then sit in albertines (30 secs walk away) and get sloshed. Or if ye olde french wine bars aren't your thing then there are plenty of pubs/bars nearby.

Hey all,

I'm going to O2 Shepherds Bush Empire tonight for a gig, it starts at 7pm...

How early should I get there do you think? I want to a good spot and to be fairly close to the stage

Cheeers,
Jake

You're such a retard, Jake.

I got to a Gig in 2002, back then RAM was quite expensive though!

The exit door is that way.
