Would u ever go to a concert by yourself if u had noone else to go with & u really liked the band??
Why or Why not??
Have u ever went to a concert by yourself??
Was it ok going by yourself & hanging out with yourself being around people that u didn't know at it??
I went to a concert by myself once and I had the best time. It was the 'Union of Soul' concert and four bands played in the afternoon into the night. I made a few friends in between acts and ended up seeing some people from my classes there anyway. It was great because I got to do what I wanted (like, getting there ridiculously early to be in the front row lol).
So in sum - go to the concert and don't worry if you're by yourself! You might find you'll have an ever better time ;)
Im going to soundwave with other people but I wish I was going alone. Their are heaps of bands I want to see which the people im going with dislike so i will probably find A excuse to ditch them and go off alone for a while, Im a lone wolf anyway. Most of the time i do go with other people they go moshing or break off somewhere else so usually while im watching the band im alone. If a band i liked was touring i wouldn't have a problem going alone.
I don't see why not, means you don't need to worry about what the other person/people wants. Also, it can be slightly easier to get a good vantage point if you are by yourself.
I've been to several gigs by myself. It's fun and you get to meet new people!
There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. There are those who, when presented with a glass that is exactly half full, say: 'This glass is half full'. And then there are those who say: 'This glass is half empty'.
The world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: 'What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don't think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass!
Cool.How did u make new friends there?? How did u & the people that u made friends with start talking??

I've been to gigs more than once on my own.
Why? Because I didn't have enough of a social life then to find anyone else to go with :P
I found it fine being on my own around people I didn't know. But I don't think it's for everybody. If you're used to being on your own most of the time anyway I don't see a gig making much of a difference.
Stop thinking about what I want, what he wants, what your parents want. What do you want?
I went to see Manic Street Preachers on my own because my ex at the time refused to come with me, even as friends, and it was brilliant. I am so glad I went. I just hung out on my own and drank beer and it also meant that I could marvel at lights and no one told me to stop! :P
I also went to see The Fray on my own. This was because my mates, who were meant to come too, decided not to. I thought it would Britain's largest mass suicide but it was actually really good and once again meant that I could marvel at lights!
I think that if you go on your own it can be better as you only have to worry about where you are and how you will get home instead of having to take drunken friends home who you can't find anywhere. Also means that you can talk to bands and stuff that you like as your mates don't have to hang around and wait for you if they can't be arsed to hang around.
All in all, I think going to gigs alone rules. Also, you can make friends there so your not completely alone if you so wish.
The world is just illusion always trying to change me.
You will find wonder wherever you can, and spread joy whenever you are able.

It's awesome. You should totally do it if you get the chance. I've been to about (I think) 3 gigs and one festival on my own. Gigs are awesome because you just get to have fun and watch the bands without worrying about loosing your friends/finding them again at the end of the night. You can go to the front if you want, where as some friends might not like it there so you'd have to stay with them. Plus you get to dance about and sing like an idiot without worrying about making a fool of yourself infront of people you know.
I go to shows alone all the time. Granted, they tend to be underground bands and at small venues and bars....It's a great way to meet people though, because eventually you start seeing the same ones at different shows, make friends with the bartenders - which can lead into getting in for free - etc. Basically I started out with smiling at people, then saying hello, then finally getting the courage for small talk. I live in a city with a pretty small "scene," though, so it may not be the same if you are in a huge city like LA or Chicago.
Some bands I have seen alone are:
Mono (the Japanese band)
Red Sparowes
Caspian
High On Fire
Black Cobra
White Chapel
Cattle Decapitation
D.R.I.
Nick Oliveri
Deadbolt
Melvins
.357 String Band
Pelican
Pentagram
Cannibal Corpse
Granted, 9 times out of 10 I usually see someone I know and end up chumming with them. It can be scary at first, but once you do it a few times it's fun. Plus, not all of my friends are into the same music as me, and if I like the band and have the money to go, I'll go.
Lol ok so this is kinda off-topic and probably really irrelevant but I've been to the cinema by myself and I personally prefer it. You don't have to socialise with people or anything like that....and, of course, you don't have to share the popcorn :P haven't been to a concert by myself but that's probs because i've hardly been to any concerts...but i should think going by yourself would be fine. you can be yourself and do what you want, not have to tag along with what others want to do, etc.
Heading up to four years free. I NEVER thought I'd be in this position - recovery IS possible and it is even better than you can imagine :)
In my anguish I cried to the Lord, and he answered by setting me free. Psalm 118:5
I've never been to one on my own.. but often enough lose everyone in the masses and end up on my own anyway ! :P It's still epic I'd say - it's not like you can talk when the band's on anyway !
"Be nice. Think happy thoughts. Champion silver linings. Love all things (not just cute things like babies and kittens) & when you do love - love like they do in power ballads (you know like on a cliff with the wind in your hair and your eyes shut, knowing you'll never know love like this). Watch out for dog poo. Smile at people - even grumpy ones. Remember anything is possible & whatever you do always try to look on the bright side."
I always go to concerts on my own if none i know likes the band/can afford to go, and I always have a blast. Infact, I'm going to see Black Veil Brides by myself on Saturday and I can't wait! I don't see theres anything wrong with going on your on - your not exactly going to be talking to the person during the performance!

I have been on holidays abroad alone ,gigs alone and prefer the cinema alone cos I hate the sound of people eating while Im watching a film.
Going away on a foreign holiday is quite daunting alone ,but its very liberating .You have to find places on your own ,thers no arguements about where to eat and you dont have to listen to someone whinging ,nor looking for someone whos drunkenly disappeared .
Most of the pople you meet ,youre probobly never going to see them again so you dont care how you act.
Going to a gig alone though is also fine ,but the last one I went to was acoustic one which was sit down and full of mauling couples .I felt a bit strange actually .But concerts where everyone is dancing is fine ,I mean any concert I been to I lost everybody anyway .
To be fair though if youre painfully shy or depend on others a lot than it might not be the best idea.Even though it would do oyu good ,you wouldnt enjoy it .
Hope you have a great time ,never let anything stop you from having fun
It became like a sort of prison. Encased in a silver shell, words so full of bleeding need spilled like drops on dry leaves. And all the while laughter prevailed a long way from here. Nowhere land, nowhere time, nowhere space.

You make tons of friends in pits.
I perfer to go alone so all i need to worry about is myself

If you can bounce high, bounce for her too,
Till she cry "Lover, gold-hatted, high-bouncing lover,
I must have you!"
