Some of my closest friends I've made through Duran Duran! There's a rumor that DD is playing a string of dates in December. I started hoping that YV would open for them again, then started thinking that if I won M&G and YV was opening, I'd give the Duran Duran M&G away so I can see YV perform. :lol: and, if a DD date ever coincided with a YV date, I'd see YV...I wouldn't even have to think about it. |

Omg, I'd miss any band for YV. I had second row Maroon 5 tix with soundcheck and Coldplay tix this summer, on YV show dates, I ditched em for YV. I missed half of my last DD show talking to YV. Hell yes I'd miss DD for YV any day of the week. I like their music better, I like them better. I like YV better than any band though so that's not saying much! They're my fave band and the best live act I've ever seen.

I must be the worst YV fan, because if they ever play on the same night as DD, I'd truly be torn, and I may give the edge to DD on that one, it would of course depend on logistical issues too. I still love Duran so much, and the opportunity to see them doesn't come around that often, and let's face it, they may start winding things down in the next few years, who knows "what happens tomorrow" and YV have such a shining future ahead that I have no doubt I'll be seeing them for many more years, though not likely planted in front of the stage like I have been, damn have I been spoiled. No matter which show I would pick, half of my heart would be at the other. DD and YV are the only bands I feel this way about, and I really hope I never have to make a choice between them. Sorry to ramble, just had to be honest. Maybe I should turn in my trophy. |

I heard on ddm about a rumor for a DD show Dec. 4th date in Tulsa, OK. Jon and Coyle both told me Dallas before the end of the year. Hmmmmm. Makes you wonder if maybe they will be on tour with DD soon .Which, I think would be awesome exposure for them again. Lookie at how many of us became YV fans because of them touring with DD!!!! I still loves me some Duran. However! I would put Your Vegas before them. Period, the end. And I can't afford VIP, but even if I could, I wouldn't do it ! Not anymore, anyway! There was a time when I would have, but not anymore. My YV experience last weekend was so much better than any M&G I would ever do with DD. And I know, because I did have the pleasure of meeting them last December when my sister won backstage passes. It wasn't that great
. I will always love them, I feel like their music is a part of my life. But Your Vegas is taking center stage now
!Wow, sorry, Julie this is YOUR THREAD about you being FOTM and here we are having this discussion!BACK TO THE CELEBRATION! Congrats, September FOTM! |

Michele I would much prefer this discussion :lol: I appreciate the kudos but I don't like the attention for more than two seconds max, please carry on!
That would be awesome if they opened for DD again, they pulled in so many of us and other fans that way. I hope they come to Tulsa for you like the rumors are saying! I won't be spending money on VIP for DD ever again either,well I no longer belong over at ddm anyways. I did VIP once, didn't win, and I've never met Duran but don't feel like I need to meet them. I'm sure they can be nice guys but it's not something I'm dying to do. It wound up being worth it to do front row just once, but I think when you pay an outrageous fee to meet the band, you should actually get to meet the band. I did VIP for INXS where everyone gets to actually meet the band, like you paid for. Aaaaand then I met them for free several times after that but it was still worth it 'cause my friend and I actually got what I paid for. Michele I remember how the meet and greet went for you guys and it was a disappointment in some ways, and I'm sorry it was. After all that, it was just kind of a bummer and that's a shame. They're only human, but it just seems like if you choose to do a job, you should put a face on it for the people that matter. In this case, the fans. If you can't be pleasant, then don't do meet and greets. :lol: Just my opinion! We all have jobs we do for a helluva lot less money and most days we do it with a smile on our faces. Well, at least we try. :lol: Suck it up, I say! People pay good money! Which is why Your Vegas, for the small pesos we pay, has every right to be in whatever the hell kind of mood they wanna be in, and yet they are 100% sweet anyways! Just because, and that's one of the many reasons we like em, we love em.But having said that, I know a lot of you have had really pozzie DD meet-ups and that's awesome! It all depends on the day and circumstances I guess. Ya never know what you're gonna get! This is life! You don't always get what you paid for. And the best things in life really are free. Sorry, I really am grateful to DD for bringing dear friends and Your Vegas and great memories into my life, I just don't agree with some of the things they do. :lol: They are still people I am indebtted to, I can't imagine my life with all they have brought into my life. So I guess that VIP money I spent? Was a small price to pay. I just didn't pay to meet them, I paid for a whole lotta other good things. OK, by rambling on and on, I've finally come to a good conclusion. :lol:

The only reason I do VIP is for the seats. I'm not good at getting good seats on my own and I'm so short that if I'm more than a few rows back I can't see anything. I know I won't be traveling to see DD anymore, so I'll do my 1 VIP and call it a day. For the Foxwoods show coming up my friend Lisa is going to go to the box office the night before to get us tix. Some in our group can't go VIP so none of us are. As for the M&G's, I've been lucky enough to go to 3 of them (I won 2 and was brought as a guest to 1). 2 of the 3 simon was in a pissy mood. The chicago was he was unbelievably fantastic! The other time I met them (at a radio station), he was great too. It's just luck the mood you're going to catch him in though. It's better when he's drunk too. :lol: |

Moooooooo.....mooooooooo! My meet and greet felt more like a cattle drive ! And Simon needs to be less obvious when checking out boobs . Sorry.

And I totally understand wanting to be closer up, Kerri. In Concord I had the tallest people in front of me!!!! It was so frustrating! And I was row four, behind VIP. Couldn't see much
!!! I usually do the ddm presale, and have pretty good luck. But you just never know who is going to be in front of ya!

short or tall we all get screwed, I swear there is always a 6'4" dude in front of me with perfect posture. Unless your name is Mal, Mark, Jon, Coyle or Mat, I don't want to stand behind you, dude. :lol: |

DD two cents here.....I will always be grateful to Duran for bringing Your Vegas into my life...period. I have since the beginning of time been a huge , massive D2 fan....forever. I used to dream about the day I could meet John Taylor....has never happened and prob never will. I belong to DDM til Dec 08 because I always get a membership for Christmas..couldnt afford VIP EVER but have been 1st, 2nd and again 1st row for their concerts...Im the tall chick that pisses ya'll off LMAO!! I have met them all except for JOHN TAYLOR. They are the soundtrack of my youth......and I have the fondest memories in my heart for them.....I have drawn and painted enough sketches and pics of the they could fill a warehouse....I lived and breathed Duran Duran WITH THAT BEING SAID....... Since May of 08 I have not been back to DDM nor the Duran proboard...I very seldom listen to Red Carpet Massacre or any DD tunes anymore..Your Vegas swept me off my rock n roll feet..practically pulled the rug right out from underneath me.....you are talking to someone that MISSED DD coming out on the stage to stay and chat with Coyle Girelli...a year ago..that would so not have been happening.....Up until that point I had never met them..just heard their outstanding music and knew ..I JUST KNEW.....something amazing was going on with this band....the guys being exceptional human beings only added to the firestorm that was going on in me...I didnt understand it at the time but I think I have some sort of grip of whats coming off with these guys..... They possess something that very few bands have these days and that is excellent music.....genius lyrics......actual talent(massive amts) and heart! I use every spare second I have to help the world to see that this band...OUR BAND....is unlike any they will ever experience . I BELIEVE IN THEM AND THEIR MUSIC.....what else is there? I didnt mean to ditch Duran ...it just happened Just for the record I still want to meet JOHN TAYLOR AND TAKE HIM TO LUNCH but I"d like for Coyle to join us love u me xx |

I kind of hope they don't open for Duran Duran again, because I'm not a huge Duran Duran fan and wouldn't want to pay the $60+ it would cost just to see the opening band. The only reason I got to see Duran Duran last time they were in Seattle was because YV put me on their guest list and gave me front row seats. Besides, I would rather have YV open for a different band, so more people get to hear them because the people who saw them open for DD the first time would probably be the ones who would see them again. If I could see YV open for any band it would definitely either be The Kooks, Oasis, or The Who. I can't decide. I think they should just all go on tour together. :lol: Each band has a different age for their general fan base though. Kooks' fans are probably 15-25, Oasis fans are probably 25-35, and Who fans are probably 45+. Of course, I am a huge fan of all three, so that isn't saying much. |

I feel the same way. I have always loved Duran Duran...but everything about Your Vegas is completely different. There music moves me like no other music I have ever heard. They are truly the nicest guys. I grew up with musicians in my family and have been fortunate to meet quite a few folks over the years -- but NOTHING beats our five guys in Your Vegas... Now onto you all.... I feel so lucky and blessed to have met so many of you and developed friendships...likewise, many of you who I have not yet...it feels like I have known many of you all for years. And that just makes all of this that much more special!!!!!! |
