I sort of get it - there are four or so bands I've seen deliberately seen 12-20 times (and probably another three or four I've seen over ten times because they've been on festival bills etc), but that's because they're mid-level bands that I can see for cheap, and I live where there's hundreds of live venues within easy reach and bands will always tour through here. But a Springsteen/U2/Madonna/Stones gig is something around a $75-100 commitment (my guess is that his Springsteen tally was boosted by Springsteen on Broadway). That's between forty and sixty thousand dollars he's pumped into seeing those bands alone. A major band on a major tour is such a precise, choreographed, scripted act that I don’t see the point seeing them more than maybe twice. I had the displeasure of seeing Pink Floyd two consecutive nights for the first Water-less tour and I was ready to go home after 3 songs on night two. Exactly. I can understand wanting to see Springsteen more than once as he's just about the only one of those listed whose show isn't going to be the same each time - luckily he performed Darkness At The Edge Of Town all the way through at the concert I went to, so I've no need to see him again. 100+ times is just weird. I've seen Tori Amos about seven times over 25 years (and at least three of those were comped tickets), and her audience is pretty obsessed - I always overhear people bragging about seeing her in triple-digit amounts. Madonna, The Spice Girls, even Bowie - their set will be more or less static. You see it once, you've seen it enough times.

The Spice Girls. 25 times. Hundreds, maybe thousands of dollars spent. Sat by himself in an arena full of teenage girls with their mums, watching a load of choreography and lip synching to taped backing music. Same show every night. The Spice Girls for fuck's sake.
This clearly hasn't got anything to do with music appreciation. It's all about racking up numbers to give himself something to brag about. But what kind of loser would brag about that anyway ?

The same type of loser that hangs out with vidiot in the thread about which movies are going to be blockbusters and which movies are going to flop. Or the loser who brings up sales charts whenever he is arguing some nitpicky point about music. Oatsdead doesn't give a shit about the music. He cares about the bigness. He participated several times in the big thing everyone cares about, (as long as the acts aren't black,) that's all that registers. Oaty Spice feels that participating in the most mundane shit is praiseworthy because he mistakes his consumption for a personality.
It's easy to clown on Vickie, and I am sure there are some deep seated issues at play, but I'll say this for her, she genuinely seems to love movies. Indiscriminately, and obsessively, but she does enjoy them.
I have never detected announce of human emotion in an Oatsdead post, other than frustration at people bending the rules of some dumbass thread topic.
Springsteen's too good for him, and I fucking hate Springsteen.

That's the point? No way man. Oats is still firmly planted inside that proverbial closet with no indication of coming out.

I can't even imagine getting into a conversation with a music fan and having to fess up the list of artists to those 1,000 shows. 3/4 of those goofballs have worse taste than that of a mid-schooler.

Colon's profession: school psychologist. Good luck, parents. Fucker can't even properly react to the misery in his own dog's eyes. But public fapping over pop queens and shitty movies, that's where it is.

So he actually titled his thread "1000 Concerts! Whereby Oatsdad Praises Himself"... SHites sure expect praise for doing nothing. I'm genuinely more impressed by rifffreeman (sp) spewing his legal fee-wasting hobby all over his lead singer. And, now reconsidering my sanity, too.

How the fuck did he see Bowie that many times? Did he tour that much or did he follow him from city to city? Someone started a “Which Bowie Tour Was Your Favourite?” so because you asked:

You have 3 options... 1) go to a Spice Girls concert with Oatsdead 2) eat at Golden Corral with Timmy 3) go to Beatard fest with Jeatles Choose wisely. No "Beagles front row in front of refreeman" option? What the fuck kind of poll is this??

19 times. 19 fucking times. So never mind the ticket cost. Imagine the travel involved.
