I wonder what percentage of the previous year you must have spent at gigs...how many of these you could probably have missed for a night infront of the TV...also surprises me that I must have asked you how every single one of these went, with the exception of the first two or three. Because it is still a ridiculously impressive list...even Girl In A Coma must have been in some way admirable to get that score. xxx

How many would have gone to now would be a good question - there's obviously a few i'd kick it for my own good really. Paramore and MCR obviously stand out ... well you asked me about the majority of them, you skipped out o2 wireless though! Allbeit due to the fact you got my opinions first hand and still haven't learnt your lesson and run away yet. Girl in a Coma were tepid crap, i needed to a drink - it wasn't even worth the free admission. Seriously they could be a house band in hell; even Paolo Nutini did better than them and he spent 5 minutes butchering Ray Charles so go and figure. (Should i have replied to this on your page or not .... ah well)

I understood that MCR, Paramore et al were for more social than culural reasons...seriously, why else would you go? With Wireless we seemed to review/attack acts as they came and went, but say how pointless good old Lightspeed was for a few days afterwards. Didn't need to ask you all form them again, dearie. And yeah, you never inspired me to research Girl In A Coma any further, not even for a joke or as a three minute substitute for a horror film.

Because Hayley Williams is alright to look at (just alright - there's too much hype on that issue) and i wanted to sniper Gerard Way from the heavens ... unfortunately the bullet missed and they're still around. Lightspeed was good to just stare at the hat and laugh but when you have the same song repeated - it does get a tad tedious. Go on and research Girl in a Coma; you know my opinions and music taste are both shit.

Even aethetically the best thing about Hayley Williams is her hair dye - even you have to admit if she was slightly less tangerine there would be absolutely no point going whatsoever. And Gerard Way's onstage death will happen...eventually. Lightspeed's hat and his backing band provided mild entertainment until the second song...or maybe it was just a few bars rest, I couldn't tell. And a quick bit of research on Girl In A Coma tells me "Their first show at Sin13 that same year left their audience in awe of the group’s extraordinary sound...and Nina Diaz’s jaw-dropping vocals". Wow.
