I'm talking London, France, Italy, Chicago, New York - she'd go to half of Duran Duran's concert tours back in the day.
I've never been into a band like that before. I saw Van Halen twice with Roth in 1984 and twice with Sammy (once in 1986 and again in 2004) but outside of a few guitar guys like Satriani and Eric Johnson, both of whom I've seen three times over the past 45 years, once is generally enough. |
My oldest surviving friend is married to a woman who is also a huge Duran Duran fan that has chased them all over the country and seen them countless times. She's also been a complete bitch to me as long as I've known her. I certainly never liked Duran Duran anyway, but I think I mainly hate them because of her.
There aren't many groups I've seen multiple times, but a few. As I've gotten older I really don't like concerts all that much. The bands I see are all from the 70s and 80s, and I get sick of being surrounded by drunk assholes bellowing out the lyrics so loud that I can't hear the singers on the stage. Yes, you know the words. Congratulations. The songs were written 40 years ago; everybody knows the ****ing words. Shut the hell up and listen to them. I prefer the theater now. People stay in their seats and keep their mouths shut.
