I was asking about no flash, and no, they don't always look the same. This set of photos looks different than a set I took at a different bar because of the lighting, and also the use of strobe light, etc.

Use a fast lens, pump the ISO to max, shoot RAW to easily alter colored lights.

Flash makes it look lame, the ambient lighting is most of the time better unless the lighting is really shit, try and bounce the flash off the ceiling if you're in a dark club. Stage concerts are usually well lit anyway.

Also, go for different perspectives. And by different, I mean where people wouldn't usually be like way on the side and zoomed up close or from above. You rarely see good band photos taken from above. Up close with a wide is great as well.

If your lens isn't too fast, use shutter priority. Noisy and somewhat underexposed photos can be fixed or made into grain but blurry photos are fucked.

I wasn't asking about the subject matter, how I took the photo, etc. Just about flash.

another to piss you off :)

thanks for all other advice
