What Was Your GC Expierince? you can tell ur stories here how u met them or wut happened at a concert, stuff like that.
my gc expierince:
i took my sister 2 the concert of her 18th bday when they were touring with Pink Spiders and Young Love. we were waiting in line 2 get in and we saw them walking up 2 thier tour bus so on of my friends grabbed my arm and ran up there 2 get thier autograph. well the security guy told her 2 go back in line n i was gonna shout of benji's name b4 he got on the bus n ask for is autograph but i was 2 shy. then during the concert my sister, my 2 friends and i got up 2 the second row soo it was awsome. then joel said something about the yankees so all of the sudden us n the corwd were shouting yankee's suck ( we r from boston so we love the red sox) lol. so then they played somemore songs and after the concert we went home.
when i went to their gig in bristol 9/4/08 me and my friend started near the back but then moshed to the front and then half way through the gig there was a death pit and i got dragged into it pretty fun and when we got to the second row back from the front we saw paris hilton at the back tacking pictures of the gig so hopefully i might be on the website soon :p
Im gonna tell the most reccent story, coz it was Sunday and Im still buzzing.
I waited from 2.30am with my mates Kai and Gemma. We went to Asdas, and were moaning coz it was 24 hours, and the door was locked. Ends up we were banging on the wrong door, and we went in and got sandwhiches.
We then sat in the snow, and fanny about all day.
Met the GC boys when the eventually turned up at 14.00. Billy saw a pic of my cat, Billy.
Joel laughed at my hair, 'what happened?'
Deano chatted to me about the directions to the venue that he signed.
Got pic with Benji, and got a hug.
Paul was ill, so went straight to bus.
During the gig me and Gemma made Paul laugh, got 2 high fives from Joel (and hit on the head by his mike stand) and Benji threw me his pick after sining Emotionless.
Then the tour manager, dude that did a DK Murphys tour, gave me a signed set list, paying me back for the pint i got him last time.
My Gc experience:
It was the 2nd April 2008, when they preformed in Estonia. I bought the ticket 2 months earlier and waited that for long time.
Me and my friend had to wait outside with others about 3 hours :D And when the concert finally started.. it was unbelievable:) They were opened to the audience and it was one of the best days of my life. After the concert, i just lied on the floor. I had to thoghts:1) I actually saw them eye to eye and did they like Tallinn (our capital city), our country and the concert. The next day i bought form the Old Town a postcard. On that postcard was of course Gc. :D
I regret that, i didn't stay waiting after the concert.. About ten persons waited, and they had autographs and hug.
I regret that also, i didn't know that on the 2nd floor was on sail t-shirts and other this. Life gave me a lesson. :P
But the concert was awesome!!
I'm waiting for next time:)
I went to see their concert in '04 at the PNE Forum in Vancouver, BC.(They were touring with Lola Ray and Sum41 but Sum41 didn't show.) And it was a pretty amazing show. I think they played a longer set then they were going to because Sum41 didn't show up. At some point Joel through one of his water bottles into the crowd and it hit me in the face. I ended up having this bruise on the side of my cheek haha. After the concert I was walking around trying to find where we parked the car and I walked passed the tour busses, and Benji was walking up. So I said Hi, and he signed my ticket, gave me a hug and actually talked to me for a few minutes. It was pretty stellar.
Man, I know what you mean about the fans talking like they've known each other forever. When I went to the show, me and my friend started talking to these two girls and her mum about how we thought GC was an amazing band and how we were excited to see Lola Ray and all. It turns out they had been following the tour all across the states and in Canada. So they'd seen a bunch of GC shows all in a row. Now that's what I would call a mega fan lol.
Aye Cassie is following GC round the UK.
She getting them to sign her car.
Last time i check, Benji,Joel and Paul had signed it. lol
she is doing it with Simple Plan too.
Dedicated aint the word
Seen them in Glasgow in May last year. I started to cry when they came on, it was just too amazing. Managed to meet them all afterwards. Got 2 hugs from Paul and Dean and got pictures with them, they smelt nice =) I said something like this to Billy "Your amazing, I love you" and he said "Awwww thankyou!" he has the cutest accent ever! Benji shook my hand and I qouldnt let go, he eventually had to pull away haha. Meeting Joel was the most amazing moment of my life, will never forget it. Sadly I missed them in Edinburgh on the 6th of April as I was in Barcelona =( I cried for two days when I found out I couldnt go. But my mates went and the brought me back a tshirt and a signed ticket =)
