Favorite concert memory from number 6?
#6 And One: Just seeing them for the first time in many many years and seeing mlebot scream like no one's ever screamed before :) Also that Steve said they'd come back. Please please please!!

Song that always goes off when you see number 10?
#10 Inspecter 7: When they cover "One Step Beyond" the entire crowd recites the beginning and rushes the stage at the same time and it's friggin' awesome. HEY YOU!!! But for one of their own songs, it's Sharkey 17 and the horns go two beats and when the drums do the same two beats, the crowd shouts over it "SKINHEAD!" It's a very shouty fanbase :)

Best thing about number 1's performance?
#1 The Adicts: Audience interaction!! Throwing decks of cards and confetti and streamers at us! Singing along to every single goddamn word. Going "woo woo WOO" during "Chinese Takeaway". Counting off "1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8!" with fists in their air during "Number". Girls climbing onstage to dance to "Naughty Girl". Everything really. Especially Monkey. Or Dan the violinist. Or Scruff the young guitarist. Everyone really. I <3 all you Adicted fans! :)

Why did you go to see number 5?
#5 Gogol Bordello: Cuz their CD was so great, to see if they could match that intensity in their live acts. OMG it's even worse. I mean better! Haha! HUTZ! <3

How old were you when you saw number 2?
#2 Green Day: Ahahaha, hilarious. 16!

Favorite concert memory from number 8?
#8 Rancid: First mosh pit. Said to friends, we'll hold onto each other, okay? Then the first power chord hit and we were scattered like socks in a washing machine. We lost a friend to the other side, didn't see her til the end of the concert; my glasses made their first fall onto the floor of a pit, retrieved intact :) Survived!

Best cover song you've seen from number 4?
#4 Goat Explosion: I only know one that they've covered, which is Goodbye Horses which was practically a revelation!! But I suppose Apart would count, as it's an Elkland song.

Would you go to see number 7 again?
#7 Depeche Mode: They have come back since I last saw them, but in MSG usually because they are huge but MSG kinda stinks because it IS huge, so no, not really. Maybe in any other venue but MSG. Though I still love putting in their live DVDs and watching those. Martin <3

Song you never really liked until seeing number 1 in concert?
#1 The Adicts: Dang, I dunno. All their songs are ace and seeing them in concert made them even better. Oh wait! Nanana! I actually don't have that on an album (not even sure which one it's on, despite having all their full lengths i think.. stupid imports and stupid Cleopatria reissues!!) but they played it and had violin echo the chorus of nanana and it was so beautiful, wah! ;_; You think I kid! Ha!

Which albums do you own from number 6?
#6 And One: All of them, but half are copies from mlebot and the more recent ones are crazy imports I paid a lot for. I also got 3 singles which each cost about the price of full length CDs (then I made mlebot copies because I owe her tons!!) Oh, and the Frontfeuer EP which is AWESHUM. I also like the sorta-stinky recordings I made of their NYC show. STEVE!!

Best dance sequence you've ever seen from number 10?
#10 Inspecter 7: The crowd skanking of course. Or the lone dude doing a windmill. Whatever works. Picking up change is good too! :P

Worst thing about number 3's concert.
#3 Ted Leo & the Pharmacists: The immobility of some fans. Show some love! But I think the last Webster Hall show finally broke through that :)

The only three songs that number 3 would have to play to make a concert?
#3 Ted Leo & the Pharmacists: Timorous Me, Counting Down the Hours, Suspect Device.

How far did you travel to see number 5?
#5 Gogol Bordello: Took the LIRR to some odd town on Long Island. Hehe, I like trekking for bands! They were not even headlining, we high-tailed it out of there after Anti-Flag. Ah, Anti-Flag. These questions were fun :)
