You'd have thought they have a big enough fan base to play outside of the USA.

I'd like to see The Owl Service.

Late 60s early 70s English folk, with a bit of drone chucked in for good measure.

Here's a link to the Owl Service's record label. Lots of free down loads, including their first lp.RIF MOUNTAIN

[Baseball Fury]

I want to see Van Halen as well.

I've seen some awful bands over the years as well, like Whitesnake, Def Leppard, Kula Shaker, All Time Low, Skid Row, Stone Gods and The Levellers

Have you kept a diary of every gig or concert you went to ?

Watching Nirvana in 1989 is very cool!

I have a scrapbook, with all my old ticket stubs and local newspaper reviews in it

I saw Nirvana on their first British tour, at the Portsmouth Poly, when they were promoting the 'Bleach' album. They were the support band! At the time, they were a four piece, and Dave Grohl had yet to join them

If memory serves, they were very shambolic, and I thought that they would soon fade into obscurity, while the headline band (Tad) would go on to world domination

Guess I was wrong!

[Demdike@Cult Labs]

I think Suzi has seen Pele more times than i've seen Ronaldo.

Surely not Skid Row with Sebastian Bach fronting them.? They absolutely kicked butt big time the four times i saw them live.
