I prefer going to shows myself to be honest. The next three I'm going by myself, and it doesn't bother me. I can go to a show, and just fucking enjoy it without having to worry about other people.
It depends on who I'm seeing. Tomorrow night I'm going to see Preston Reed, Andy McKee and John Gomm with some friends at a comedy club venue. Should be a fun night.
But when I want to go see Devin Townsend or a load of obscure djent bands like Monuments or Vildhjarta, I prefer to go by myself.

Who gives a shit anyway, do what you want with your life!

i agree with moldy, i would always get separated from people anyways. i'm short, so some say it's a curse at concerts, i beg to differ. i wiggled myself all the way to the front, danced and sang or kicked and punched or whatever it was. effin fun. met some of my best friends that way. trying to keep up or wait for a big group of people, especially at a festival is annoying. i rather just meet up after certain acts or at a certain time of the day. ;p
i guess bottom line is i can have fun on my own or with a group. same difference.

Is this 4chan now? If you can't go somewhere or do something on your own, or have to question whether that's OK, you're an insecure chicken shit.

moshers always end up solo anyway, meeting up by the car in the parking lot, at the end of the show, all wet n dirty n dehydrated n bruised, big fat welts all over your noggin, with a big fat sense of some kind of deep primordial satisfaction, watching all those poor non moshing suckers and their friends walk by as they think they just lived some kind of experience, when all they did was talk all night, again.
- yeah the best shows I've ever been too I was solo. I may have come with a group of people, but ended up taking off on them and pushing my way into the pit.Al_dizzle

I have went to the movies alone on several occasions, I did't get a blow-job though from some random girl.

No that's not the fucking point, retard. The point is that going to an event like a concert, or anything else, by yourself does not mean you are weird. I like going to a restaurant by myself and reading. Very nice.

And thus introverts the world over rejoiced from the comfort and solitude of their basements.

I like these last 4 comments.

What I get from this thread is that you all have shitty/stupid friends.

Being alone is one of the great things in the world. But you always feel this pressure to go out! be with people! it is healthy!
Fuck that, i like people ok, but i like to be without people also. I am great company for myself

If you like gigs, go to gigs, with or without friends.
If you want to be in the show with people, go with friends or make friends at the gig.In general, just do what you like and that's it.

Anyone what says it's "weird"... you're simply too insecure to do anything alone and have to judge people out of your own discomfort.
Otherwise that would make my Mom weird because my Dad is an ass hole and won't go to the movies with her.
I laugh more at the people who point fingers and judge people than I would at someone who "really likes" what they're going to see even if it's alone, and even if they're a super geek.
Do what you love and fuck everyone else.

Perfectly fine. If everybody did it, you wouldn't have to listen to dickheads telling their friends stupid stories over the top of the music you paid to hear.

Going to gigs on your own is fine - doesn't make any difference during each set. Can be a bit awkward in that 30-45min gap between bands though.
- that's why you have a few drinks....! problem solved!jfletcher

The idea in itself is fine.
It only sucks if everyone around you is with people. Then you feel weird.
