Band/artist you've seen the most

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

when the band in question is Westlife, you need to keep count how many minutes of your life have been wasted %3QD

Good point, well made

 

[SussexHoop]

Dont all males count and list?

I've still got most of the tickets nicely stashed in chronological order in a rather large album, starting in 1977 and currently ending with Motorhead, Girlschool & The Damned last night.

I've seen Gary Numan well in excess of 50 times.

OCD? Me?

 

[Kylies Stunt Arse]

No idea how many times but it's probably Super Furry Animals, followed by The Bluetones.

In adult life i saw the Fiery Furnaces about 4 times, i think. The one time i remember most was at the BBC studios that my mate won us tickets for. I'd been up all night the night before and by the afternoon with just a single preparative pint inside me to chill the embers that loitered chemically in my stomach i was shakey throughout. A bit green-door-ish. But what i recall most was releasing a single pip of wind from my unfed guts. It was of the equal size to a single bubble-wrap cell, but with the bile in me working overtime it was a small nugget of pure evil. Worse still, on release i was stood under a violently spinning ceiling-fan that spread the foulness everywhere. An audience of about 20 people were the victim of it whilst i fought nobley to keep the laughter within. My smirksome face was spotted by my ticket-winning mate's bumface of a girlfriend of that time and she started pointing at me, screaming and going "urrrrrrrrrrrrggggggh it was you, you dirty fucker!!" I had no way of denying it anymore with the laughter near-splitting my cheeks. As well as feeling tickled by the memory, it also stands out for me as the day in which 18 strangers despised me completely to the bone and bowel. If any of you are reading this and remember that day, please take my apologies for that incident. BUt also know i would do it again if i had the chance.
The Fiery Furnaces themselves were the other side of a plastic wall so couldn't sniff the horrors. And they played admirably.

Sadly the question has to be asked - who on earth COUNTS how many times they've seen a band?
