HarlequinGerhl Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Hey,Well the meet and greet was pretty straight forward. Just get their before the time it says,get your wristbands from the box office(Careful,they're crap paper) and wait till whatever time the sign says(There was a piece of paper in Manc. that said about it) and you'll all get took in and told to make a queue. Then you'll go through, meet the band at a table,they have posters promoting the tour that they sign so don't worry if you've not brought anything. The assistant guy there will take your camera from you and take your photo. Then you just wait in the venue till dorrs open etc. Any more questions,just ask. is that all it is? go in, get a picture taken and what the doors open for the band to come in or the actual venue to open? im so excited btw loool about the whole day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GibbyPhills Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 The meet and greet just sounds like a signing which is a bit disappointing. I'm starting to get excited about Friday now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

breakablethread Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 just getting ready now. probably about the same time as yesterday. not like it mattered as all the little drunken 14 year olds thought squeezing through the barrier when they turned up was acceptable. that girl talking to your sister went "I WAS WAITING OUTSIDE FOR OVER AN HOUR" i fucking wish id been there for an hour, maybe id have been able to feel my legs and not have pneumonia.

megazord Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 the meet and greet tbh sounds pretty crap. why is it that whenever they do something in america, its always 10x better over there? its a meet and greet not a sign and snap ha.

GibbyPhills Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Meg how may m+g's did you get in the end? It does suck but ah well I suppose it's still good of them to do stuff like this on every date of the tour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megazord Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 I got 5, one at every gig I'm going to. I suppose its alright because it means I wont have to queue all day at any of them as we get to stay in the venue, I'm just annoyed that its not as casual as the US ones.

Btw, seeing as I'll be staying in the venue after m&g on friday, I'll just give you a text when doors open. I remember the good old days of having days off of college. Enjoy it while you can. I'm not sure what number I will be using on Friday yet. Don't really want to bring my iphone to the gig so I gotta dig up an old phone and a pay as you go sim at home. Will try and do that tonight and let you know the number. If not I will give you a bell or something just as I get in the venue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not too worried about it not being overly casual. As long as I get a photo with them that's me a happy man. Some proof that I was there with Paramore. I'm still so excited. :hyper: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HEARTandSYNAPSE Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 here is my review of last nights show in manchester for the BBC. theres some really cool pics with the review, and a gallery as well, worth checking out. the review that went up is edited down a LOT so, here's the unedited version; With almost a decade of hits to choose from, and the fact that your average Paramore fan is bound to know where to jump in most of them, all New Found Glory really had to do tonight was turn up. Alas, it seemed this was too tall a task for the 'seminal' pop punkers. The songs were all there, 'Hit or Miss', 'My Friend's Over You'; a whole retrospective. But instead of sounding like seasoned vets, the band appeared out of practice and sloppy, Jordan Pundik seeming to put more into his onstage windmiling than his vocals. Were it not for a pint sized redhead's appearance for 'It Ain't Me Babe' from Walk The Line, the first half of the set would have been, frankly, a shambles. The years on the road seemed to kick in after a while, and the last few songs were a significant improvement. Anyone thinking Paramore would be exposed as unworthy headliners over such an established band could not have had more of a rude awakening than set opener 'For A Pessimist...'. An anthemic juggernaut of power pop magic, the song seems to get huger with every performance. And as for the five scamps performing it, my how they've grown! The youthful energy and passion is all still there in spades, but it is truly remarkable just how far the band have come in terms of stage presence. Many bands of the genre enjoying a similar rise in popularity are content doing the same Dance, Dance as their club shows, but Paramore work the stage with flair and style and inject their songs with the necessary power to fill such a big venue. The songs? Sound better than ever. A practically perfect setlist, their hard work on the road evident in the bulkier, more mature sounding versions of older material such as 'Emergency' and 'Pressure' (complete with the classic Paramore over the back barrel roll from the video that was frankly more impressive than some entire sets I've seen) and a cover of Jimmy Eat World's 'The Sweetness' that sounded more marvellous than the original. Newer material truly shone tonight, 'Born For This' and 'CrushCrushCrush' showing all the signs of becoming anthems for a generation, but it was a set closing re-working of 'My Heart', which began with Hayley Williams performing solo with a keyboard, giving the song a fragile, fraught edge, and building to an outstanding crescendo with Josh Farro's backing screams adding a startling depth, creating one of the most magical performances of a song I have ever witnessed live. With encores in the form of 'Decoy' and 'Misery Business' perpetuating the euphoria, Paramore have started 2008, a year that has the band nominated for a Grammy and headlining festivals, in the most triumphant way possible.
