10. Have you met any music artist?-
Yes I've met Shwayzee. They were at Logan when I was going in to get my cousin. They were just starting out as a band and were on every other commercial on MTV. I smiled and waved as they went by then realized I had my camera and went back to ask if I could snap a picture.
I also met Katy Perry. She was doing a concert at Six Flags. I was there with my cousins but the younger ones wanted to go on more rides before we left so I stayed at the concert alone. I met two girls there just to have someone to talk to. Then a woman came up and told us to start yelling Adam because that was her son and he was Katy's drummer. Needless to say that she then asked the three of us if we wanted to go backstage and we did. The pic is blurry because my camera was fighting to stay alive.. and thank God it did!
ETA- I forgot but I totally met Taylor Swift too. She played a concert with Jack Ingrid, Kellie Pickler, and Brad Paisley. We had the choice to get an autograph from Kellie or Taylor and we waited for Taylor. The security guards were rushing everyone through and they didn't allow cameras but we got a quick pic from my cell. She was apologizing for them rushing us.

<div>Before I met my BF and saw DMB in concert, I would have thought you were crazy. Now I'm just jealous, and I'm not even that much of a music fan. That's how good DMB is in concert...</div>
Still here and still fabulous!
Still here and still fabulous!
[QUOTE]4. Favorite concert you attended - It's a tie: Dave Matthews Band - August 2008 in Glendale. Awesome seats (13th row!) and my first DMB concert with my BF (he's seen them 48 times!) Or <strong>Garth Brooks - went to see him in Vegas with a couple friends. We didn't know it but we had FRONT ROW TICKETS!!!</strong> No cameras were allowed, but it was amazing and I'll never forget him standing in front of us singing. Posted by cu97tiger[/QUOTE]
I.am.beyond.jealous.
I want to see him so bad! But I am almost positive he is retired now.
[QUOTE]Niknik, they were awesome! I'm so glad to have found someone else who likes them since they still aren't very well known :) They have grown in popularity over the 7 years I've liked them though... :)
Posted by heyimbren[/QUOTE]
Well I heard about them in highschool or my first year in college, so between 2004 and '06. I haven't really paid much attention to them since then, but since you said something it reminded me of them.
Still here and still fabulous!
This is kinda hard...probably Paul Simon.
2. Favorite group-
Beatles, Simon & Garfunkel, Hall & Oates, Parliament, various epic disco groups
3. Favorite genre-
The good stuff from the 70s. With some amount of funk to them. Stuff that my Hall & Oates Pandora station plays.
4. Favorite concert you attended-
Paul McCartney - Back in the US. George Clinton and the P-Funk All-Stars were great, too (BF was disappointed that Bootsy Collins wasn't there, though).
5. Concert you'd love to see-
I really want to see B. B. King sometime. And I hope Simon and Garfunkel do another tour together; I haven't seen them live and really want to.
6. First concert you ever went to-
Ya know...I can't remember! It might have been McCartney. Unless you count bajillions of classical concerts, ballet, plays, opera, etc.
7. Song involving where you live-
Haha--I would have liked this question better when I was living in NYC. The only thing I can think of for Minnesota is this goofy rap song that's like 10 minutes long that waxes rhapsodic about the Midwest and good values. It does mention my city, and areas I know from growing up in Southeast MI.
8. Guilty pleasure artist-
Haha...it might be Taylor Swift, currently.
9. SO's guilty pleasure artist-
BF doesn't have any guilt about any of his musical pleasures.
10. Have you met any music artist?
Mostly classical ones. Also, various professional jazz musicians who aren't majorly famous.
I'm sure I've left out a lot of artists I really love; it's hard to come up with this stuff off the top of my head!

He got to the point where he would put it in, turn up his speakers and leave. I then went to his cubicle and turned the speakers off. Needless to say, every time I think of that band I have an immediate hate for this guy.
1. Favorite solo artist-
Of all time, I'd say Mariah Carey, but that's pre-1998 Mariah.
2. Favorite group-
Save Ferris, Dance Hall Crashers, Evanescence, and Lacuna Coil
3. Favorite genre-
Alternative, Ska, or Gothic Metal
4. Favorite concert you attended-
The first time I saw Evanescence (back when no one knew who they were) and we were really close to them, or when I saw Lacuna Coil in Santa Cruz a few years ago. They were supposed to be the middle act, but the headliner cancelled last minute. As a result, Lacuna Coil headlined, half the people didn't show up, and I got my money back! I was 10 feet from the stage, and it was awesome.
5. Concert you'd love to see-
Lady Gaga. I hear she puts on quite a show
6. First concert you ever went to-
Save Ferris in college, when I was practically sitting on the sax player's monitor
7. Song involving where you live-
I don't think there are any. The closest would be "Do you know the way to San Jose?"
8. Guilty pleasure artist-
Lady Gaga and Christina Aguilera
9. SO's guilty pleasure artist-
He listens to the dance/hip-hop station
10. Have you met any music artist?-
I met Lifehouse when I interned at a radio station. I chatted with their guitar tech while they were in studio, and the lead singer signed a CD to me. They were all super nice.
I also met Gavin, the drummer from Dance Hall Crashers. I went to the merch table before the show and did a double take because he was just sitting there. He said I was cute.
I haz a planning bio

They've come out with about two CDs since then, but I don't think they're quite as good as their old ones. But still, good ones! Their newest album feels much more mature and grown up, even in its sound.

I will definitely have to check it out.
[QUOTE]Marley - the summer before last I had a 6 month internship at a company and the guy in the cubicle next to me always listened to one Simon and Garfunkel cd. It started off just every once in a while, then became a war between me, my cubicle mate, and him. He got to the point where he would put it in, turn up his speakers and leave. I then went to his cubicle and turned the speakers off. Needless to say, every time I think of that band I have an immediate hate for this guy. :(

LOL. I can respect his wanting to listen to it over and over, but it's not cool to subject everyone else to that! Get some headphones, dude!
