This is a band people tend to follow quite excessively in my experience, so I thought it would be interesting to see. It's not meant to make anyone feel bad if they haven't been to many/any gigs, I'm just curious. If you go to more gigs in the future and your bracket changes you always change your vote of course. Also feel free to comment with the exact number, if you haven't lost count.  |

Only two wonderful times,that I hope to be many more in the future:)
Those of you lucky enough to have seen them several times,are you still as excited as before or years of Kasabian gigs made you cooler?

Didn't have as much fun as usual this year but I think it was just because of the dates I've chosen. 35 degrees in Italy and Hungary and so on. I'm also not so happy with the new album and the really interesting tracks haven't been played yet. Just some exciting things were missing for me this summer.
Obviously it wasn't that bad cause I'm doing 9 in autumn/winter. Mayeb I should just do less of the summer gigs. The solo European and UK indoor shows are always great.

Those of you lucky enough to have seen them several times,are you still as excited as before or years of Kasabian gigs made you cooler? Every gig is still special to me, even if I sort of know what to expect. I'm much more indifferent to the before and after, I guess. At my first couple of gigs everything was the most exciting thing ever, even queueing, we'd be all "omg we've been sitting here for 6 hours, so craaaazy." That wore off pretty quickly and now it's more "we've been sitting here for 6 hours, kill me with a spoon." But if the actual gigs didn't excite me anymore I wouldn't be doing it. It has just become more of a routine until the moment they walk on stage. |

I worked out I've seen them forty-two times. I can honestly say i still find them as exciting as I did all those years ago when I first saw them, and I know this is because they've stuck to the formula of just being a rock band on stage, with maybe a screen and great lighting. The minute they go down the route Muse took, then, and only then, will I find them boring coz that is exactly what happened with my love for Muse after seeing them about the same number of times. Save the theatrical effects for Broadway and just give me a spontaneous rock band  |

16th, 17th and 18th coming up this autumn.
I'm gutted I've missed all the landmark gigs of recent years.. Glasto in '14, Victoria Park, iTunes (when they played the whole of the eponymous album) and the King Power gigs.
I'm thinking I might make more of an effort for some overseas gigs. I'm starting this October...

Save the theatrical effects for Broadway and just give me a spontaneous rock band I'm glad to hear that:) As for Muse (a band that I also love),theatrical effects is clearly a huge part of their show and many people expect to see those as much as the musical act.I remember when they visited my country last year and people went crazy like ''why don't they bring the round stage and drones?''.Personally I couldn't care less about things like that.Music and the band's chemistry with the audience is everything. |
