S1-Si Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 From 1986 onwards in no particular order (don't remember!) I've seen: New Model Army The Levellers Inxs The Wonder Stuff Voice of the Beehive Saxon The Mission Ozzy Osbourne Black Sabbath (Tony Martin, Vocals) Metallica AC/DC The Meteors Demented are go! The Guana Batz Frenzy King Kurt The Long Tall Texans Lawnmower Death Green Death Acid Reign Gaye Bykers on Acid Zodiac Mindwarp GBH Splodgenessabounds The Vibrators Peter & the Test Tube Babies English Dogs Sham 69 Dumpy's Rusty Nuts Muse The Prodigy One Hundred Reasons (don't like them, Muse support band) Elbow (don't like them, Muse support band) I'm sure there are more, but my memory is very bad, so I'll have to edit if I recall any. E. This thread has made me smile. I have too many bands to list here due to 20+ years of going to gigs, concerts and festivals. The first few of your list really made me smile as I used to see the Levellers every christmas and we used to have a great time crowd surfing (been threatened a few times by bouncers though!!!). Fond memories of Ian Dury and the blockheads supporting Paul Weller, Moby's set at Glastonbury, Texas's little intamate set in a tent at V, Jarvis Cocker throwing a strop and cutting a performance short in Birmingham, getting rat-ar5ed on diamond white at a Utah Saints gig at Rock City, the first time I saw Athelete at Demont Uni, the first time I heard the Manics sing Motorcycle Emptiness live, a crazy night with the mighty Spear of Destiny and the Alarm at the Charlotte in Leicester, taking my wife to her first festival (even if it was V), and many, many more...... Ah, the memories......thank you for prompting them.....
Steve J Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 I haven't seen as many as Fiona, but he's a few for the medium oldies: The Cure Fields Of The Nephilim The Mission Gene Loves Jezebel The Buzzcocks Hawkwind Foos Rush System Of A Down Metallica - sorry but this new album is pish Then there's the ones Fiona's dragged me to which I won't admit to.
paul111s Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 Some good bands in there folks, ive seen too many to remember them all but here goes a few! Glasto x4, Reading x4, Weller, Neil Young, McCartney, The Eagles, Stone Roses x4, Ian Brown x5, Charlatans, Dylan x4, Manics, Prodigy, Ray Davies, Page and Plant, Oasis, Chemical Brothers, The Who, Babyshambles, Kings of Leon, Happy Mondays. The best of all was Ray Davies just for his sheer energy and enthusiam for a man of his age, still rocking like a good un!
surrealillusions Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 Rush excellent choice seen Rush twice now. Also seen Dream Theater (several times), Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Eric Sardinas (supporting steve vai), Symphony X (supporting dream theater) and The Who. Not much as i dont really go to see concerts, but when i do, its the bands that i really like. Although i would like to see Iron Maiden. And would liked to of seen Queen, Aerosmith and Van Halen (both roth and hagar).
Steve J Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 But did you fly all the way to New York to see them at Jones Beach as they were never going to tour outside the US again? Only to find they came to the UK 2 years after Prefer the early Rush stuff though, later stuff is a bit samey
Ladders Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 Is this a Rock thread or can anyone join in?
Martin R Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 At the risk of showing my age Genesis Pink Floyd Thin Lizzy Tom Petty UFO Budgie Supertramp Heavy metal kids Devo
Dr H Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 rock bands are all about live music which is why this seems to have turned into a rock trhead. Seen loads of bands including: Bon Jovi Europe Vixen Skid Row Motley Crue White Lion WASP Extreme Hardline Kiss of the Gypsy Winger Joe Satriani Scorpians Dave Lee Roth Megadeth The Almighty Zodiac Mindwarp Meatloaf - free tickets honest and probably best of all Alice in Chains
Greg.g Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 At the risk of showing my age Devo Ali says... "Whip it good, Whip it real good" I just remembered that i went and saw Thunder. At the end of the concert the drummer threw out his drumsticks and one hit me about an inch under my eye. I didnt even see it coming, just felt ouch and then a mob dived onto in front of me. It would have looked so cool if i could just have caught it. Still, its better than having it impaled in my left eyeball
Fiona Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 Dr H and I have the same music taste! Also seen White Lion and Mike Tramp a good few times, DLR, Motley Crue, Extreme, Thunder. Saw Hardline support Extreme a good few years back. AIC were great and saw Jerry Cantrell solo in Manchester a few years back. Saw Kip Winger last year in London - his new album is really good. I'm also a huge Neil Young fan (saw him in March) and also into bands like Wilco, Ryan Adams, Jayhawks, Blue Mountain. When we saw Rush in Sheffield last year I caught Geddy's dryer t-shirt. My taekwondo training came in useful as the chap in front tried to take it off me.
Martin R Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 Greg, it could only happen to you. Makes a change from the side of a bath hitting you in the eye I forgot the Eagles as Liz made me go. ( good to be honest though )
jez o Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 Yup, got all of them - I'm a completist! Do you have V for Vagina the remixes? It's not out here yet but I "acquired" it on the internet. It must be out now as my g/f got it in HMV. We also met the Monster Magnet guys after a gig at the Oxford Zodiac and had a drink/chat with them- made our weekend! Favourite Tool track is 'Pushit' on the Salival DVD box set- stunning!
Dr H Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 Dr H and I have the same music taste! Also seen White Lion and Mike Tramp a good few times, DLR, Motley Crue, Extreme, Thunder. Saw Hardline support Extreme a good few years back. AIC were great and saw Jerry Cantrell solo in Manchester a few years back. Good stuff Fiona - you obviously have great taste in music (and Honda converted cars) I forgotten I'd seen Thunder, also seen Gun and Kings X. Others too but can't remember them at the minute. I saw Hardline support Extreme so probably on the same tour many moons ago. Saw them at the Sheffield Arena. Did you ever see Mike Tramp when he went on to Freak of Nature after White lion? White Lion are touring again but without the original guitar player (Vito Bratta) it's not the same. Mind you AIC did Download the other year with a new lead singer! Skinny black guy with a cool afro, hardly a replacement for Layne though. One band I wished I'd seen was Tesla. They are touring again now though so maybe.......trouble is I'd just feel old and my waist length hair went a number of years back
PeterField Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 Love gigs, music really is better live. Been to loads over the years and got a few coming up soon, namely.... Oasis Queen Goldfrapp (...for Ruth) Pigeon Detectives Pendulum (sooooooooooo looking forward to this one!!!) Ting Tings Probably going to add Elbow to this list too after watching them on Jools Holland earlier in the week, seemed very good. That'll be Oasis, Queen and them over 4 nights though which may be a little excessive!!! Should be a good few weeks, apart from The Ting Tings they're all before early december! I may very well be a bit deaf for Christmas!!!
