I have thought long and hard about what if any a topic to start. Ispired by a conversation on Twitter tonight (Thanks Ladies!) I've thought of the perfect thread. We all know that being a Chaser involves being somewhat obsessed, in love, or a plain ol' fanatic (fan-a-tic). This forum is designed to confress any deep, dark, and crazy confessions involving our mutual love for SNC. Forum is wide open so let the confessions begin, afer all isn't the 1st step to recovery admitting you have a problem?!?!?
@Gina...yes...I do recall that. It's rare that something of that...subject matter would slip my mind. *grin*
@Angie - I'm so proud of you! If it's any consolation, I know the words and that is all I know! And if you recall Gettysburg, didn't Charlie actually forget the words to "Chicken Fried"?
Angie, I am sure if you asked Randy and Charile they don't know all the words either. :o)
Angie, the words to a song are not everything. You seem to look at each song in so much more detail than I ever have. I think that is even more special than "knowing all the words".
Crown still in tact!
Okay...here's one confession. I don't even know if I should admit this, for fear of my COTM crown being rescinded.
I realized the other day that I don't know the words to barely ANY SNC songs. I had a long drive yesterday and listened to about 75 SNC songs, and I knew the words to about 5 of them. I do, however, know each and every bass line. :D
(I think part of it is, in addition to my ear honing in onto the bass line all the time, that I listen to the songs as a whole, but also paying attention to the musicality side of them...notes, chord progressions, voicings, intricate intervals and rhythms, etc. Yes, I am a music nerd.)
Sorry Dave!
yuck......another confession from me...........I don't like puddles of goo. Just sayin
LOL and turning into a puddle of goo all at the same time! WOW!!!!!
New confession to make...I was driving to visit my dad today when the "retroCafe" came on the local radio station and played "I'm too sexy"..Filters need to be in place right now because while I don't think the song would be challenging musically for the guys..I CAN picture them "On the Catwalk" woot! This kept me entertained for the entire trip, just imaging the choreography/antics of the individual memebers of SNC performing this number.
Confession may be good for the soul, but dreams of the confessional are not..when I was young and preparing for "First Confession", I had nightmares that I would be closed in a wooden box, carried to the front of the Church, box set in front of the altar and they wouldn't let me out until I told everything I did wrong. Nice dreams for a 2nd grader?..Wait, that confession has nothing to do with my love of SNC..but then, like Laura, I am too filtered to provide any details of those dreams :-)
Kathleen, don't worry. I had to use the dictionary a few times when I was on the 'Describe the guys in one word' thread. It would have been easier if they were one - dimensional people, but they're not. Besides, they wouldn't be as much fun if they were!
Marianne, as Kristin said, you MUST do the M&G. No matter how nervous I was, when it is over, I was so glad I went and can't stop going over the conversations that I had with them.
Kathleen, they say confession is good for the soul. How do you feel now?
Glad to have a revived discussion about Chaser devotion..I started one in early 2010 when the permasmile first made its appearance on my face. And happy to say that the devotion has grown with time. I have been to 4 concerts, but only one M & G (Never attend a concert with a hubby that is usually in bed at 8 pm) I too was terrified I would say something stupid..thought the guys would just push the fans on through, practiced what I would say and then was floored when Walt actually asked my opinion about which song I liked best :-O They are just simply the best, I find myself running out of words to use to describe how wonderful they are and have been known to resort to a thesaurus.These guys are just unique in talent, in personality in having the best fans ever. I never followed a group before but I can not imagine that a group like "Chaserville" exists for any other group?
Now, the confession part? Keeping filters in place, all I can say is that I think Charlie will be featured in my next dream following watching Bethany's video
Filters on now, quick!!!! OMG
I see someone else is "chicken fried"..... This is a safe place, Angie! ;)
I'm still not confessing anything.
Marianne - you must not chicken out of the M&G line! You will kick yourself forever if you do! I was so nervous about talking to them in Gettysburg that I wondered if I could do it, too. But they are SO GREAT to talk to that it was almost. . . easy. That's not to say I'm not nervous about my next M&G, but I know it'll be okay. You can't go wrong with "Hi, I'm Marianne and I really enjoyed the show!" You can do it!!
Dave- yes the bathroom because that is the only place in my 1200 square foot house where i can escape from a 5 yr old and a 2 yr old hollering "momma, momma, momma, (nate or hannah, whom ever is tattling at the time) hit me". lol :) Most of the time I can't even get peace in there because as most of the moms out there know, there is no room that is escapable from a 5 or a 2 year old... :) thanks Dave for reviving this thread!!! I honestly think your confession would be doable. Someone Please in Ohio, help Dave out with this "confession"!!! That would indeed be cool! Dave are you going to AC? Maybe in AC (if your going) someone can hook you up with an intro? hint, hint anyone? That would be super sweet!
Bump!
Somehow I missed this thread and its really cool and needs to be brought up front for more input!
So my confession...may surprise many of you......I'm really not a chaser and I only go to the shows just to meet up with all of you wonderful women.....whoops...."Hi sweetheart" - (Laura just walked into the room) "you bet I cannot wait for the next SNC concert - can't wait to see the guys again and hear their music because its the only reason I go." :o)
Actually I had to think long and hard about this, so it must not be too deep and dark--but I think it would be really cool to be able to introduce the guys to the audience at the start of a show. Ya - I know,, kind of lame - sorry its not a mushy/giggly thing - lol.
Michelle - face it.......YOU ARE A CHASER!!!! CHASER!!!! CHASER!!!!! CHASER!!!! (are you used to it yet?)
Marianne - I think we (us chasers here) can come up with some sort of script that you can rehearse over and over again, up until your show......for example:
"Hi I'm Marianne.....(this is where you breathe)... and I am a Straight No Chaseraholic". The guys will take it from there - lol.
Dana - really???? The bathroom????? okay then.... ;o) But hey....love the topic!!!
I wouldn't say I'm addicted or obsessed...I agree with Marianne though, I do like them a lot...
Confessions...let's see...
1. I'm horrible at confessions.
2. I am not used to being called a *Chaser*. I don't know if I'll ever get used to it...I don't know why...but I embrace it...LOL.
3. I'm going to my FIRST SNC concert this fall...SUPER excited!! It will be almost a year to the day since I became a fan/was first introduced to SNC.
4. This is the longest I've stayed a fan of a musical group and/or artist. I'm pretty sure SNC will continue to hold the record.... :)
5. With #2, I may not be used to it, but like I said I embrace it. What else could possibly explain thinking of Jerome at a kareoke bar when I hear "Let's Get It On" on a commercial?
~Marianne~ It's not wrong...I'm just going with the thought of *Don't say anything you wouldn't want your grandma to hear...or yourself.* LOL. :)
Hi, my name is Marianne and I am a Straight No Chaseraholic. I wouldn't necessarily say I am obsessive, but I REALLY really like them. Twitter and this website doesn't help much with my addiction either. Just the chance that one of them will reply to me directly keeps me coming back more and more. I too have had dreams about meeting them. Is that really that crazy?? I mean, it could be worse. I am just conversing with them, not anything extra. Most importantly, I still say the best thing about this group is that their music inspires and encourages people to do their own thing and I have "met" a lot of nice people because of them.
Countdown until I get to see my first SNC show: 162 days
AHHHHH! Too far. Is it wrong to not do the meet and greet due to fear of not knowing what to say to them?
don't know the first thing about being a stalker!
Just finishing your sentence Kristin. You are welcome!
I've seen them. You all are very bad stalkers. I, on the other hand. . .
Bachelor party photos......bachelor party photos????? I didn't know these existed!! Chaser fail!!
@DanaEbstein - Great discussion. glad you started it! I'm also glad you "fessed up" yourself!- Finally!! Don't you feel better now?!!
btw, where are these bachelor party videos of Ryan's and how did I miss them? Am I the only one who hasn't seen them?
My name is Brittain, and I am addicted to Straight No Chaser, and I will not be doing anything to stop it! Sorry I got to go now, SNC videos are calling my name!!!!
Outside of Chaserville, I'm super-shy about my "Chaseritis." Full disclosure: I'm pretty shy about most things so it's not all that surprising.
I love being on this site because I can openly declare my love for the guys - each and every one can turn me into a POG in no time! I couldn't believe how sweet they were at the meet-and-greet after the Milwaukee concert last September. And Terry, you said it best...they make me happy!
Admittedly I've had a few dreams about the guys, very innocent dreams (darn!) And I listen to them whenever and wherever I can. Too many hours without SNC music makes me a sad Chaser!!
I am Judy, I am a Chaser, and anyone whio approaches me with a cure does so at their own risk!!!
Thanks Dana! Now I've got 'Hopelessly Devoted to You' stuck in my head! Now I have to try & sleep!
Lauren- I like that..Chaseritis!!! So true and nope I dont want to be cured either...(said as Mike files a restraining order :() lol
oh, I did have one other confession that is ok to make. I was with a group of friends this weekend and somehow they got into a discussion on if you got stuck on a deserted island who would be the one you want to be there to help. They were going back and forth between Bear Grylls, Chuck Norris, McGyver, etc. The whole time I was thinking I would choose SNC (technically they are one group). They could sing to me, they are strong, smart, sweet, and are real men so I would be fine. And I wouldn't be in a hurry to find a way off the island. Of course, I couldn't say this as an option because they would think I am CA-RAY-ZEE!
That's it - no more confessions! #selfincriminationcouldbebad
Dana, yes, confessions but that would also mean you want to stop something. I don't want to stop. I don't want to be cured of this addiction. It's a healthy addiction to have, compared to some other addictions people could have.
I believe there's a new disease going around. It's called Chaseritis. Don't want a cure. Whoever attempts a cure...well, I may have some issues with them.
