The Concert Thread Post info of any music gigs/performances you've been to/are going to here! |
Next gig I've got lined up is at Cambridge Junction, I'm seeing The Lemonheads play It's A Shame About Ray in full. Looking forward to it! |
I'm off to see the INCREDIBLE Alter Bridge at Wembley Arena in a couple of weeks. Can't wait! |
Last I went to was Fest in Florida! Things haven't quite been the same since... A whole bunch of punks take over the city of Gainesville basically, with 4 days of music at various venues. Plus, unlike those rubbish UK festivals, you get to stay in a hotel. I struggle to remember all the bands I saw there, but here's some - Bouncing Souls, Teenage Bottlerocket, Landmines, Savage Brewtality, The Blacklist Royals, Tigers Jaw, Good Luck, Mikey Erg, Bomb The Music Industry, Cobra Skulls, A Willhelm Scream, The Copyrights, Pure Graft, Caves, Leagues Apart, Ssssnakes, Great Cynics, Look Mexico, O Pioneers. An awesome atmosphere, and $2 beers. I just might have to go again some when. |

I've done the Reading festival a few times, plus a couple local festivals in Bristol and Bath when I was living down there. Never done Glastonbury though: something I wish to rectify in the not too distant future! I've lost track of all the artists I've seen live, but here is an off-the-top-of-my-head list: Amen Ash Beck Biffy Clyro The Black Rebel Motorcycle Club Blur Bush Coalchamber Cyclefly Darkness The Doves Eminem Alec Empire The Coral Dropkick Murphys Elbow Fear Factory Feeder The Foo Fighters Godhead Greenday The Hives A Hundred Reasons Iggy Pop & The Stooges Incubus Iron Maiden Jane's Addiction The Killers Kings of Leon The Libertines Linkin Park Lost Prophets Marilyn Manson Metallica Mew Morrissey Muse New Found Glory Nine Inch Nails NOFX The Offspring The Pixies PJ Harvey Placebo Portishead Primal Scream The Prodigy (at least 3 times) Queens of the Stone Age The Rasmus Reel Big Fish Skinny Puppy System of a Down The Streets The Strokes Sunna Thrice VNV Nation Weezer The White Stripes The first band I ever saw live was Bush, who were supported by Cyclefly at the tender age of 13 - yes I embraced the '90s grunge era! ;) |
I've probably seen about 700 bands over the years, but the ones that I've seen the most would be Kiss (3), Prince (5), Boris (6), Weezer (4), Dillinger Escape Plan (4), Biffy Clyro (8 or 9), Rival Schools (3), Deftones (4), Jonah Matranga (15ish?), Frank Turner (6 or 7), Silverchair (3) and Jurassic 5 (3). My first gig was Bon Jovi at Milton Keynes Bowl when I was 13 in 1996. |
Just saw the Red Hot Chilli Peppers in Glasgow, third time seeing them and probably the best show I've seen them do. Have tickets for my wife's Christmas to see Coldplay, not my cup of tea but she loves them. I am hoping 2012 gives me the chance to see Soundgarden, Black Sabbath & maybe Pearl Jam. Favourite gigs I've been to would be Stevie Wonder, Prince, The Shins, Band of Horses, Alice in Chains & The Wildhearts numerous times! |
My first gig was Discharge at Bowes Lyon House, Stevenage, I was 14. Hawkwind are the band I've seen the most, 29 times!!! I couldn't even begin to guess how many bands I've seen over the years, throughout my teens there were fortnightly punk gigs in my home town of Stevenage which was a major place on the circuit at the time. Caught Black Flag and Bad Brains there along with a whole mix of hardcore, Oi, and anarcho bands. In the late 80s/early 90s I'd travel to London at least once a week to see a band, more often than not I'd do 2 or 3 gigs a week. Stand outs include, "Day Dream Nation" era Sonic Youth, Shellac, Rapeman, Man Or Astroman, The Mummies, Trashwomen, Mule, Palace, Jon Spencer's Blues Explosion, Boredoms, Swans, Jesus Lizard. A mix of garage punk and what was then termed noise. |
Some of the artists i've seen over the years are - Kiss Iron Maiden Slayer W.A.S.P. Bon Jovi Nickelback Metallica The Prodigy Prong Ratt Motley Crue Megadeth Paradise lost Opeth Satyricon Kylie Pink The Black Eyed Peas Christina Aguilera The Cranberries The Corrs Green Day No Doubt Vanessa Carlton Maria Mckee K T Tunstall Dixie Chicks Alice Cooper Judas Priest Scorpions Motorhead Within Temptation Cradle of Filth David Lee Roth Helloween Sisters of Mercy Europe Vixen Skid Row Vain LA Guns Extreme Sheryl Crow The Cult Soundgarden Faith No More Billy Idol Type O' Negative Slipknot Marilyn Manson White Zombie Rammstein Front 242 St Vitus Deborah Harry Cinderella REM Red Hot Chilli Peppers Monster Magnet Queens of the Stone Age Snake River Conspiracy Leaves Eyes Carter USM The Black Crowes Manic St Preachers System of a Down Machine Head Korn .....and the list goes on.:rockon: |
I haven't seen as many gigs as some of you -I know the first gig I went to was The Prodigy at Newcastle Arena and, unless one comes along soon, the next will be the Red Hot Chili Peppers at Sunderland on June 24. Including two years at the Leeds Festival, the bands I've seen live are: The Prodigy (three times) Green Day (twice) Ash The Darkness Rage against the Machine The Offspring Feeder Silverchair Placebo Foo Fighters Metallica Cave In Papa Roach The Stereophonics (twice) Radiohead [spunge] Iron Maiden Guns N’ Roses Terrorvision Alanis Morissette Red Hot Chili Peppers Slipknot Blink 182 Pitchshifter A Machine Head |
Never been to a concert, ever. |

It's never really appealed to me and I'd rather spend my money on going to the match. It's something I should do at least once I guess. |

Some excellent bands there Nos. :rockon: .................. Just noticed i missed Guns n' Roses off my list. They were the second band i ever saw at Donington in 1988, then twice on the mammoth Use Your Illusion tour at Milton Keynes Bowl and Maine Rd, both in different years. Damn, i also forgot Aerosmith. |

I really want to see Van Halen. |

A new album is allegedly out in 2012 |
Last two concerts I've been to were Vice Squad at The Grosvenor and Motörhead with UK Subs and Anti-Nowhere League @ the HMV Hammersmith Apollo. Best gigs - propably The Cramps or Suicide. |

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 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! |
I think Suzi has seen Pele more times than i've seen Ronaldo.:lol: |

That's really impressive list, darthelvis, with an eclectic blend of music. |
Yeah, that Skid Row, but not with Bach, which is probably why they sucked! |

2008, is that when Kiss played? I went for just the Kiss day that year, and the full weekend the year after for Faith No More |
I'm thinking Faith No More year which was 2009. I was there as well which is where I saw majority of the bands you mentioned. It was a great festival, huge FNM fan! |
