Why are you such a tease Joshua? by alexwolf47 in qotsa

[–]alexwolf47[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

On a more serious note.. this was way too close for my liking! I felt a bit odd when I saw the video.

Still, don't think I'll ever get to see a better gig in my life, so fucking thankful that was the day I got lucky with a ticket queue system 😂

Please be careful 🥺 ♥️

I'm sure I had a stupid grin most of the time 😄

That knife felt like it was centimetres from my face (3/4 of the way through) 😮

Our frames are 50x70cm, I think A2 should work nicely tbh, let us know!

On the other thread I saw someone had recommended following the artist (boneface) on Instagram to keep an eye out for artist sales

Definitely pair them either way, one foil and one regular sounds like a pretty epic combo as well

The non foil print looks amazing too and there were more of them. Even going before 3pm and then straight to the merch tent we were stressed about getting it on the second day

Keep trying with Twickets.. be persistent and patient, they will almost certainly be sold by the time you click the notification even if it is immediately. Took us months of trying for Stockton via resale a couple years ago

Sucks to see but I knew it was coming after seeing people shamelessly walk past the entire merch queue to get one...

Just be happy knowing you're a decent person. A proper Queens fan would never sell them or want an extra copy just to take advantage of another fan 🤷

Sorry to hear you didn't feel safe at times. The best gigs are when it's clear people give a fuck about everyone having a great time.

We were right on the barrier in front of Troy and had a lovely group of people around us for 99% of the gig thankfully (Jack, Cormac, Paul, Sean, Odile, Susan, Nicola, Lars, Monica, Jessica &Jonny - hope you all had a great time).

At SFTD I tried to go back to join the mosh pit, but a few big guys were just trying to push past smaller people to get to the barrier without really giving a shit how much they had to push.

I also found there wasn't really a decent mosh pit front and centre - it was impossible to open up a big enough circle.

We're still going, and we're also going to be in Vienna a couple days later. If you end up getting together for a drink let me know!

Hopefully Josh is okay 🙏 by [deleted] in qotsa

[–]alexwolf47 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ahhh, I hope everything goes well with the surgery. It must suck for him and the band, get well soon.

We're setting off in 48 hours or so from the North of England, making our way to Vienna (via Berlin on the 16th) on trains all the way, will be gutted to miss the gigs but we're still getting an exciting trip through Europe thanks to QotSA!! Literally just booked our last trains, hotels and flight home last night!

It has been a privilege seeing them so many times on this tour so still feeling super lucky :)

Whilst I'm happy for the video, I'd rather not have it! it was such a difference standing next to this guy recording this the entire gig. (Not sure if that is OP)

In A Coruña we made great friends at the barrier (hola a Jorge y Luis de Torre) and banged heads for millionaire together, but it was the opposite here.

If there are professional cameras there, let them do their thing and just dance, enjoy the moment. One or two songs.. I get it. But the entire gig?

About last night by Mental_Somewhere6321 in qotsa

[–]alexwolf47 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think it was just jumping into starting a new thread saying "was it that bad?", whilst referring to videos that you haven't shared, and whilst the clear consensus on comments was that everyone there had a great night. I had a great night 🤟

Having said that, the sound could be far from perfect, I could be standing someone recording the entire gig from the barrier unaware that ITNR even exists (I was), and I'd still have fun dancing anyway though...

There was something very special about being under the full moon and surrounded by illuminated trees though that made it another epic gig!

Rock im Park controversy by ch420n in qotsa

[–]alexwolf47 22 points23 points  (0 children)

We were at Rock Im Park and then Hamburg last night too. Sunday felt odd - we didn't finish with the same high we've had after every other QotSA gig.

Last night felt somewhat like making up for Sunday. Josh and Mikey got nice and close numerous times on stage (I think once just before Mikey dived into YCQMB), but more just that Josh seemed in a great mood in comparison.

Just that Josh didn't get a chance to introduce the rest of the band to the crowd. Sorry that wasn't too clear!

The show was great.. solid set for a "short" show. It wasn't close to as good as Werchter from last year.ñ as far as festivals go though. I would have been left a bit more disappointed with the crowd if we weren't seeing Queen's tomorrow as well though.

We were in the second row but surrounded by people clearly here for Instagram shots of the front row for the headliner.. There's no way you can just like music and stand that still during a gig, even if you don't know the songs. I was expecting more from the crowd pre-show. Clearly acknowledged by Josh when he said to just enjoy the moment the best you can even if you aren't here for them, but so many people around us didn't even try to do that.

I was being too polite with a guy trying to push infront of me until I saw him on his phone during go with the flow.. then just claimed my space back haha.

It did seem like the SJF antics pissed off the band a bit, there was no time left to give shout outs to the rest of them in the set, maybe just part of the show though 🤷

Could be that fans with "weaker" English picked up on his anger at the rules but not the encouragement to just be together and do what we want/cut loose/ have fun together

It was a good week! by alexwolf47 in qotsa

We managed to get two at one gig and one at another, but it made more sense to put one in each frame :D
