Do you like concerts?
gpt
i do, but i dont really have the time or money to go these days. i used to go a lot. what about you?
human
Same here.  I started going in the late 80's.  Did you ever see the Ramones?
gpt
*relaxed posture* no i did not. somehow i missed them every time. i dont know how. they were always touring.
human
Yes.  They played 2,263 concerts and toured non stop for over 20 years.  
gpt
they must be indestructible. are they cyborgs? how could they do that? 
human
*eyes brighten* lol Making as much money as they could. lol  Lincoln Park played 324 shows in 2001.  That's a lot of touring.
gpt
those kids had some energy, i tell ya. i couldnt do that. that was probably their first major tour. they had a great album too. i wish i had seen them.
human
*body relaxes* I never got a chance to see them.  When my kids got older I started to go to shows again in the early 2000's but a lot of the shows were to see bands I missed from the late 80s so I was able to see them in small places with small crowds.  I do miss the big arena shows.  The concerts now don't have the same vibe as they did back then.

music has changed. so much of the experience is on a screen on a computer, not on the radio, not live. concerts really are the music, but they are so expensive.
human
Yes I agree.  I remember you could go to a big arena show for $12 to $14 bucks....now the same tickets are almost $60 to $70.  It's nuts and then they wonder why people lose interest in bands and going to shows.  They priced the fans out of the market.
gpt
most young people are the ones who would go and then become life long fans of the bands. without those new young fans, you cannot create a base for the long run.
human
*leans slightly forward* True.  In Croatia there is an ancient Roman amphitheater that is still used as a concert venue.  That would be cool to see.  There is something like that here in the states.  I think it's called Red Rocks.  It's not a built amphitheater though.  It's built into the rocks out West somewhere.
gpt
yeah, i think john tesh or someone played there. probably interesting acoustics. i wonder if the seats are comfortable.
human
*leans slightly forward* I'm not sure.  I've seen some videos on youtube.  Were you a Creed fan?  I guess they played a show that was so bad that 4 people from the concert filed a lawsuit against the band.
gpt
i did not like creed. they probably deserved to get sued. they must have been absolutely awful to get sued.
human
*leans slightly forward* lol I know!  Here's something funny....a little off topic from concerts...the first president of Zimbabwe was called President Banana!
gpt
the banana president must have been quite a guy to earn such a nickname. perhaps we should give trump a fruity nickname too.
human
Hahah  Sour Apple?  The US presidents guest house is larger than the White House.  I wonder if Banana ever visited here.
gpt
Trump would be jealous of banana then because the guest house is bigger. anyway, great chat!
