That totally blows that Bella Morte is playing early Feb. (for me, that is)...the unplugged would be cool.

[aea]

I've never heard Bella Morte's music.

NIN is probably sold out by now.

OOh, Ministry. I love B.B King's. They seem to book a lot of industrial bands (I saw Pigface there).

[rusty_halo.livejournal.com]

I got a NIN ticket! They went on sale Saturday morning. GA. Woo hoo!

Except, how the hell do I get to Atlantic City? Eh, whatever, I'll figure it out.

Bella Morte is awesome. Check out myspace.com/bellamorte

Like, mostly amusing goth/metal/punk. Some really nice songs, though. Their lead singer is gorgeous, too.

I have never seen or heard Pigface. (I've heard of them. Constantly.) I suck at being an industrial fan. I've never been to BB King's, either (I missed KMFDM there because I was in London). I need to refresh my (vague and fuzzy) memory of Ministry before that show.

[aea]

You got a damn ticket?! What kind of magical computer connection do you have? I like that you buy first, figure out transportation later. :P

Bella Morte- I'm listening to some songs. At first, I'm bopping along, but then I'm all meh. I'm just not hep to their jive. Though an unplugged show sounds kinda neat. I don't know. :/ I'm sorry I'm so wishy washy. If I could be like the nerds in Weird Science, I would make you some concert going buddies.

I only own one Pigface album. They put on a good show, comprised of members of other bands.

I'm not really that into the uber-industrial; I like the basics.

[rusty_halo.livejournal.com]

Ah, you know what's funny? I was randomly reading some old emails and discovered that I DID see Pigface, in 2001 at the Limelight with Godhead opening. I have no memory of this whatsoever. Funny. (Except dizenchanted remembers it, because she was telling me recently that we were there and that Pigface had two drummers, but I thought she mis-remembered me being there.)

...or maybe I left before Pigface came on...?

Anyway. What did you download from Bella Morte? Their new stuff is definitely better than their old stuff. But also, they're pretty much better live, IMO, than on record. The humor comes across more live. (Also, the aforementioned hotness of the singer.) Unplugged is really good--I saw them do that at DragonCon. (It was like goth story hour--a bunch of us sitting on the carpet in the hallway of the hotel, with the band playing unplugged in front of us.)

Anyway, it would be great if you're up for going to it, but if not, no worries.

Yes, I'm amazed that I got NIN tickets. Finally, my karma worked out!

I actually missed the spiral pre-sale, because I was in a meeting at work (damn job! interfering with my concert attendance!). But I managed to drag myself out of bed at 9:55 on Saturday morning and kept hitting refresh until the tickets showed up. Bought one GA and it actually went through! Then I went back to bed.

My mom goes to Atlantic City sometimes, so worst case scenario, I can beg her to take me. I'll probably end up taking a bus, though. (Turns out NJ transit trains don't connect to there from NYC--grrr.)

But still--Yay NIN! This'll be the, what, 6 1/2 time I see them? Hee!

[aea]

Bella Morte- I listened to the songs snippets they have posted on myspace. Now don't be telling me the singer is hot. I will not be swayed, dammit!

Was shelling out all that hard earned dough worth it for the super Spiral specials?

I went to the best shows when I was unemployed/in school/over-tired/po'.

I thought I went to a lot of shows, but you are the winner. If only I drove and had a credit card. :/

Was shelling out all that hard earned dough worth it for the super Spiral specials?

I think so, because you get the tickets cheaper than if you went through ticketmaster, and MUCH cheaper than if you went through a scalper, and you get in early and get to see soundchecks. So if you go to enough shows, the cost actually balances out.

I don't drive (I've taken public transportation to the most INSANE places...). But the credit card sure comes in handy!

[aea]

Oooo! I didn't know the tickets were cheaper through the Spiral. When I finally get my credit card, I might have to look into that.

I hear you about public transportation. I'm glad I never went to shows alone because I would probably still be wandering in the woods of Jersey or Long Island now.

I want to see Commor Rotation!!!!!!!!!
I'm trying to catch up on LJ and failing.
You are going to SF to see one concert?
I bow to you.

I found the best place for boots ever. And cheap.

[rusty_halo.livejournal.com]

What's the best place for boots ever?

I can't believe I'm going to SF for a concert, but whatever. I needed an excuse for a vacation, anyway. :)
