Not as fan-girly like as you :D , but I would say I am a really big fan. <br />I've always wanted to see them live, but couldn't because of Craigs illness. And then they released their third album and done a world tour, but never came to Germany :( I've done an internship in London in August 2006 but left 2 days before the concert. You can't imagine how sad I was...so I decided with a friend to go to Australia someday, to see them live. We said that just for fun, but 2 years later I bought a flight ticket for Australia. Not to see the Vines ... I've been there with a working holiday visa. I didn't plan to see them, but then I read about a new Australia tour...in November 2008. I arrived in Sydney in september and went straight to a ticket shop. I got a ticket a week later because the pre-selling hadn't start yet and I lost it while I was moving from one hostel to another :D<br />But as a really fangirl I took a picture of my ticket and the ticketshop guy just printed another ticket for me just one day before the sold out concert(here in Germany they would have just laugh at me when I tell them that I've lost my ticket).<br />And yeah ... it was one of the best or maybe the best concert I've ever been to (and I've been to a lot). I mean ... The Vines in Sydney! Craig destroyed his guitar after the gig! I've always wanted to see someone who destroys his guitar on stage :Dbanana-cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02503509725964030451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7948029434624152319.post-24877078070937579212012-07-14T23:41:27.500+01:002012-07-14T23:41:27.500+01:00Well actuallyyyy if I'm being completely hones...Well actuallyyyy if I'm being completely honest, The Vines are tied at first spot for my favourite band with...Placebo! Ta-dah!<br /><br />I'm the same, I got into them around the time they released Sleeping With Ghosts, and got all the back catalogue. I didn't like Meds as much as other albums (except Post Blue which is marvellous!) but Battle For The Sun hasn't got a bad track on then. Meds was released after Brian's latest stint in rehab, and BFTS was written when he was clean - and he explains it's much more positive and poppy than their others! :)Droogettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08940533745129744561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7948029434624152319.post-7978193117328703752012-07-14T23:18:17.105+01:002012-07-14T23:18:17.105+01:00I did this with Placebo, had a break from them whe...I did this with Placebo, had a break from them when they released Meds, after being completely obsessed and never really got back into them. Got all the albums though.Willow92https://www.blogger.com/profile/09260484519499398341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7948029434624152319.post-82826448444323298162012-07-14T21:43:18.117+01:002012-07-14T21:43:18.117+01:00Oh wow I love this so much!

Yeah they aren't very big anywhere anymore - I remember Craig saying in an interview lately that it's interesting as they're on the cusp of mainstream as a lot of people recognise the name, but don't really know anything past Get Free! <br /><br />I had to get their last two albums online, which is a shame as I purchased the first three instore, and I like to support music shops! But they were just impossible to get hold of otherwise.<br /><br />I quite like Future Primitive, but it's not one of my favourites. Though Weird Animals is great - they've only done a psychobilly-esque song once before with Hey Now (b-side) and I love that side of them! Yayyy for pinky Vines! :D xxDroogettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08940533745129744561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7948029434624152319.post-83325003793946584852012-07-14T21:31:43.725+01:002012-07-14T21:31:43.725+01:00you know, when i stumbled upon your blog a year or...you know, when i stumbled upon your blog a year or so ago, i scrolled through the entries and thought "uh-huh, uh-huh... oooooooh, the vines! let's check this out properly!". i remember being really excited about that weird german interview and watching it on telly after school. i was mad about that band! my best mate at school (you have an uncanny resemblance to her, btw!) and me and a picture of craig on a magazine cover became smoking friends which was just a way to not smoke quite so much because we would only smoke together after offering imaginary craig a cigarette (i think we were drunk when we came up with that). the second album i got a year after it came out and it became the soundtrack to my delayed teenage depression while stuck reading landscape architecture at uni which i hated from day one but kept doing for a term to please my dad (he only allowed me to drop out after i had secured an internship at a newspaper). a year later, enrolled to read english, the newspaper-past came in handy when i had to write a review on something for grammar class - i wrote a review on vision valley and it was picked out by my lecturer for being especially well-written. life got in the way of being quite as fanatic about music as i was back in school but i have all their albums (the last one purchased only a couple of months ago because nobody cares about them anymore in germany, rude!) and i probably annoyed my neighbours a lot when future primitive was on repeat very loudly the day it arrived in the post. oh well, i moved house since.poppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12511163338249524129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7948029434624152319.post-14926895714094048912012-07-14T19:26:31.697+01:002012-07-14T19:26:31.697+01:00Aww my best friend was a big My Chemical Romance f...Aww my best friend was a big My Chemical Romance fan too, and went to their gig last year - she was even interviewed on a video for some website and got all fangirly, it was so funny! :D<br /><br />And also - Gerard Way is a big fan of The Vines! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psRb6o5NqvM :DDroogettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08940533745129744561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7948029434624152319.post-22040124785716682722012-07-14T19:08:32.826+01:002012-07-14T19:08:32.826+01:00Ive been like that with MCR. When i was around 13 ...Ive been like that with MCR. When i was around 13 i basically adored the band and refused to listen to much else. Then they sort of dropped off the face of the earth for a while, to my knowledge. Then they came back with a new look and Desolation row single for the watchmen film and i fell in love again. I love their new album 'The true lives of the fabulous killjoys'. I listen to it almost every day. Plus is doesnt hurt that Gerard is cute :3 <br />Ive actually never listened to The Vines, but i think i may peruse youtube for a while..Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02774225527509125893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7948029434624152319.post-16227484902053894172012-07-14T17:25:20.017+01:002012-07-14T17:25:20.017+01:00Aww I love Maximo Park too - they're awesome!!...Aww I love Maximo Park too - they're awesome!! :D xxxDroogettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08940533745129744561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7948029434624152319.post-39910017939963640482012-07-14T17:21:41.046+01:002012-07-14T17:21:41.046+01:00I'm pretty much like this with Maximo Park, it...I'm pretty much like this with Maximo Park, its not even just cos they're North East. Their music just speaks to me somehow. I'm not like it with any other bands but I have bought every single one of their albums and been to see them a lot of times. Our Velocity is probably my favourite song of ALL time and it was always stick with me.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16819804652955533350noreply@blogger.com
