gypsy_owl Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 (edited) Here's a idea that me and some of my friends came up with. You take the number of years you've been a fan and divide it by the number of concerts you've been to, and the answer is your concert factor! The lower the number, the better. Maybe not the most exciting thing on Earth, but I thought it was kinda fun. Anyways, mine's 4.3 (13 years fandom, 3 concerts). Anyone else?

gleamingalloyaircar81 Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Been a serious fan for a year and been to 2 concerts. So 0.5. I wasnt a fan back in 8th grade. I just thought Limelight was cool. 0.5. EAT UR HEARTS OUT!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tupelobarchetta Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Arrgghhh.....mine's a lousy 5.6. (28 years, five concerts) But if I disregard my 21-year real-life-got-in-the-way gap between concerts and focus on the first three years and past four years, my rating is a sparkling 1.4. I feel better about myself now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Troll Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 32 years a fan, 14 concerts gives a ratio of 2.2857. Of course being a true Brit makes it harder to get a low ratio as we didn't get the: Grace Under Pressure Power Windows Presto Counterparts Test For Echo Vapid Trials Tours. due to three plug-ugly Canucks thinking they'd make no money touring over here.............

Del_Duio Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Cool! 21 years of fanhood / 4 concerts = 5.25 I'm guessing the lower the number the better right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should not get credit for concerts you went to before you were a fan if this is a metric to describe hardore fandom. If that was the case, my wife would be an infinite fan since she has been to 3 shows and still doesn't consider herself to be a hardcore fan (though we are making progress in that direction.

You take the number of years you've been a fan and divide it by the number of concerts you've been to, and the answer is your concert factor! The lower the number, the better. The formula you have devised penalizes long-time fans who might not have been big concert-goers (as if any of this really matters anyway). How about multiplying your 2 numbers instead? What would the max score be? (# of years since first album released) x (# of concerts they have ever played) = max score. Using your formula my score is 4 (20 years, 5 concerts), but using MY formula, my score is 100! Woo hoo! I got a hundred! ;-> Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILSnwdog Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Been a fan for 28 years, and I have seen Rush 9 times. That puts me at a 3.1111111 It would have been lower if my Mom would have let me see concerts before I was 16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways, my score using the RickMike formula would be 39! Woohoo! They came to my area during the Vapor Trails tour but I wasn't old enough to go!!! Should i have gone my scores would have been 3.25 and 52. oh well. If anybody else has ideas for calculating scores please post them! Though I normally hate math when you through Rush into the equation it becomes much more fun! Anyways, thanks all you people for responding, it makes me feel special!
