Okay. I don't do those survey things. Never. A matter of principle.
But well, if someone sends me a concertjunkie-survey, I don't really have a choice, or do I? And at least I can brag a bit like that. =;-)
So here we go:
What was the last concert you attended?
El*ke in Stuttgart
Had seen them at a festival once and liked them, but didn't really know any songs. But the concert was really great! Even though I was actually sitting at the side, as I was just too tired to get up…
How many people were there?
Not many. Maybe a hundred?
What bands have you seen in concert the most, and how many times?
Kaizers Orchestra: 64x
Die Ärzte: 45x
The Busters: 29x
Actually, there's 10 different bands I've seen 10 or more times… check the list here.
Do you have any set lists? From what bands?
I mostly have photos of setlists, but I also have a few "real" ones. Of Skambankt and Kaizers Orchestra, and I think one of Die Schröders as well, but I don't remember where I put that…
Are there any CDs in close proximity to you? Which ones?
Define "proximity". Next to me, there's the NRK Rørt & Urørt CD, 'cause I just unpacked it and didn't find the time to listen to it yet, and KGB's Internasjonalen that I'll need to send out to a German Kaizers fan. In the box on the floor there's another signed Eliksir CD (Skambankt) left over from the competition, and on the board there's all the CDs I bought in Norway last weekend.
What band are you in the mood to see live right this second?
Skambankt, I guess. =;-)
Have you ever been on a tour bus?
No girls on the tour bus! =;-)
No, and I don't want to. I'm a fan, I don't want to find out that my stars are normal people.
Have you ever partied with a band?
Define "party". =;-) But yep, I have.
How many states/provinces have you been to concerts in?
Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxemburg, France, Portugal, Hungary, Denmark, Norway, Sweden. Think that's all.
What bands did you see live the month of July?
What year?
2006: Bela B., Sportfreunde Stiller, Fettes Brot, Yakuzi, La Vela Puerca
2005: Kaizers Orchestra, Nine Inch Nails, Queens of the Stoneage, Eagles of Death Metal, Alice Cooper, Farin Urlaub, Bobbin' Baboons

2002: Die Prinzen, Die Toten Hosen, Beatsteaks, Sportfreunde Stiller, The Busters, Boppin'B, Die Happy, Emil Bulls, In Extremo, Schandmaul, Pale, Therapy?, 4Lyn
And yes, of course I have a list and don't remember. *g*
What CD are you addicted to at the moment?
Actually, I don't find much time to listen to new CDs at the moment. But if I have to choose, it's Zahl - Nice for a change or Virginia Jetzt! - Land unter at the moment.
Have you ever been on anyone's guest list?
Yep.
Last band person that you got a picture with?
Don't remember… I hate myself on pictures like that. Someone got a picture of me with some of the Skambankt guys a while ago, but I didn't care, so… Guess the last pictures were with Kaizers Orchestra, in Antwerp, 2004…
Do you consider yourself a groupie?
I consider myself a "groupie". Mark the quotes.
If you were to name a boy and a girl after any band….what would you name them?
Wouldn't do that. A cat maybe, but not a kid.
How old were you when you went to your first concert?
Define "concert". The first "real" concert - 17. I was stuck in the province before that.
Who was it?
Die Toten Hosen in Koblenz.
What bands haven't you seen yet that you want to see?
Hopalong Knut, Zahl. And there's lots of bands I want to see again.
Are you wearing a band shirt right now?
No. Only a band jacket. Skambankt.
What band do you own the most merch of?
Kaizers Orchestra. But Skambankt is catching up.
What song is on your myspace right now?
Songs on myspace are annoying.
Have you ever met that band?
I don't want to meet annoying bands. =;-)
Do you ever do anything crazy at shows?
Define "crazy". =;-) But naah, guess I'm fairly boring. Just enjoying the show.
Or well, actually I sat on the bleachers during a Die Ärzte-concert once and wrote down everything they were saying. Guess you could call that crazy. =;-)
What are your favorite venues to go to shows at?
Substage in Karlsruhe and LKA in Stuttgart.
What band do you have the most performance pictures of?
Kaizers Orchestra, without a doubt…
Would you ever get a tattoo representing a band?
No, never.
How many concerts do you average a year?
About one per week… depends on who is on tour though.
Upcoming shows?
Look at my calendar… =;-) Not much that is really planned so far. But I guess I'll go to Raumarock and Sziget in August, that's gonna be fun. Maybe Skambankt in Fredrikstad, probably Schloßgrabenfest in Darmstadt. And I'm thinking about Rock im Park. And this even though I HATE festivals…
