Bryan Adams and 2003
-
Ok, so this will probably seriously piss off Bryan Adams fans but I just scored two complimentary tickets to go watch him here in Cape Town. At R350 a pop they are not cheap and so I am not complaining. The bit that will piss fans off is that I am not a Bryan Adams fan. Sure, I can sing along and know about... errr... two of his tracks, but the tickets would be more deserving of a fan I warrant. I will definitley go though, any excuse for a good party I say, and live concerts are always good fun. Are there any Must Know secret handshakes or signs I must emit to stop any real BA fans at the concert from giving me Dirty Looks? Oh... and who sang "We built this city, we built this city on solid ground" because I thought it was BA, but it isn't, and I have had it stuck in my head all day (along with some Shakira rubbish... imagine having in your head Shakira singing along with "We built this city" popping in every now and then :~ )

hmm, (Jefferson)? (Starship|Airplane) did a song that went "we built this city on rock and roll." Were you thinking of that one? --Mike-- When 900 years old you reach, look as good you will not.

Starship, IIRC. You're too young for that song I guess. ;) -- Only in a world this shitty could you even try to say these were innocent people and keep a straight face.

I'm guessing Paul was thinking of that one, but even if not you've helped me out too 'cause I've been trying to think of who sang that for ages :-). -- Andrew.

I'm not one of Bryan's fans myself, but he has quite a following here. My friends in-the-know tell me that there are, indeed, certain traditions that true fans practice to identify each other among the unwashed hordes. The traditional greeting of the "in" crowd begins with an eye-to-eye, in your face confrontation, but with teeth not bared (for obvious reasons). The two greetees than step sideways slightly and rub one hip seductively against the other's in a circular motion. They then step apart slightly, and the newcomer bends over at the waist to present his/her hindquarters for inspection and careful sniffing for identification purposes. Once accepted by the sniffer, the newcomer then stands up and faces the other, who presents his/her backside in similar fashion for the new one to inspect. Upon completion of this simple ritual a newcomer can expect to be greeted as a true brother wherever the band plays in the future, and backstage passes are usually presented quietly to the new member of the following in the third song of the performance, during the drummer's solo. Attendance backstage isn't mandatory, but a failure to appear usually requires that the ritual be repeated at the next concert and followed through to completion in order to be fully accepted as an insider. Trust me, Paul, my sources are impeccable. I can safely guarantee that if you follow the above procedure, you will be instantly recognized as one of the elite, and after the performance will be granted access to delights beyond imagination. Such are the perqs of stardom... I'm told that the Green Room has to be seen (or, rather, felt) to be believed! Let us know how you enjoyed the event - those parts that your vow allows you to mention, at least - and please post any pictures that result! Thanks are unnecessary - it's my plain duty to assist a friend in such a circumstance. Have a good time!:-D "How many times do I have to flush before you go away?" - Megan Forbes, on Management (12/5/2002)

So the concert was great, loads of fun. I did not see anyone sniffing each other, so am glad I took your advice with a pinch of salt... though technically, I wouldn't have minded some of the errrr fellow concert goers having done so... :rolleyes:
