How Many Times Have You Done It ? No lies please !!!!

[Nik]

I've lost count, but last time I bothered thinking about it, it was certainly over 15 times.

[wez_wildheart]

i'm thinking it's 10 times maybe a few more.

would need to check ticket stubs though when i get home from work

i can safely see i've seen them in Glasgow,Aberdeen,Dublin and Belfast on more than one occasion so someone do the maths (i fucked my GSCE up and can't count arf arf)

[shat noir]

Hmmm.. not too sure tbh

4 or 5 times in Belfast
twice in Dublin
once in Bristol
and Donington in '94

Not enough!! thats for sure

[Baby Chaos]

About half a dozen times up in tha Toon.

First time I remember little after overindulging beforehand, though I recall Danny falling asleep onstage and Ginger storming off after a chaotic 'Shizophonic'.

Last time was in Jo's Well at Leeds. From what I saw and what I've heard since, the acoustic gigs have been more entertaining than the electric ones.

[mattboy71]

A whopping TWO times.

Not bad living in Texas.

[TV Tan]

Off the top of my head at least about 15 times.

best ones being Manchester Academy OCT 95 i think

manchester arena supporting ac/dc

Missed them when they supported AC/DC, shame, but then again I was a dole waller at the time and couldn't/ wouldn't fork out a week's giro money on a ticket.....

Managed to never see SG5 much to my annoyance - they did all their touring while I was working abroad.

Curses, at this moment (if I include the two gigs in December), I'm one short of 50 gigs. Strewth...

[Glen666]

Well played my friend. I'd forgotten about the Motorhead support. That makes me 26 too.

I'm glad I'm not the only one, was feeling like a stalker.

[Trudi]

Ya know what?
I have no idea!

'Regularly since 1992' kind of sums it up. Definitely more than 20, -will have to empty the boxes of gig tickets and try to piece my fragmented memory back together....

[trace-da-space]

*failed nerd raises hand*

can't remember! beer may be to blame....but first time wuz supportin' the almighty & last time SHOULDA been scarborough but i ended up in hospital instead! so last time would be..........Ku in sunderland....in between there have been many but as i say, the numbers are foggy...i remember stoke...bulldog bash & a spiked drink vaguely (nasty)...the whole reformation tour...let's stick with "lots"!! saw clam abuse 3 times, have done many acoustibollox nights and i don't think i ever missed an sg5 gig outside of japan...yet....

didn't get to the garage fer the sonic circus, spirit wuz willin', the flesh wuz shagged out...chemo that time tho', not beer!! (that's GOTTA be a valid excuse, yer honour?!)
lurve,

trace x (now in the grip of a nasty bout of insomnia!!)

[goblin]

i'v only done it the once. the second time i tried to do it i bought the ticket but i was ill on the day. wanted to go to scarborough but was broke.
I saw them in 2002 support was dog toffee & the darkness.

[tex]

I thnk it's about 16.
Should be acurate to within 1 show.

From the last minute support slot for Alice in Chains through to the last tour at Christmas 2004.
Missed Scarbrough, though. Pissed at that. Looking forward to the (hopefully) imminent DVD.

Never got to see SG5 or Calm Abuse, unfortunately. And I call myself a fan???

[Workyticket]

Seven for me. But if I hadn't moved to Oz in '97 the number would've been much, much higher...
