Wardie Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 This year i've been to see Green Day, The Streets, Dropkick Murphys, LCD Soundsystem, and Drive through Records Invasion Tour. All have been absolute class, especially murphys because i got properly wasted, also at LCD Soundsystem i got to go backstage and meet the band which was cool. Green Day was just the best gig i've been to, amazing show. Mike Skinner was hilarious when i went and saw the streets a top bloke.Haven't got any gigs lined up at the moment, but maybe going to see Finch.

The Batman Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 saw Velvet Revolver at the start of the year in Birmingham, then Kylie in April i think it was,,,, very different but just as entertaining as one another, but in different ways and hopefully Live 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoke_Gifford_Red Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 Saw Killers, Futureheads, Kaisers (2) and Bloc Party this year. Am going to see Bloc party later on in the year, and may go and see a few more bands down the Academy if me/mates can afford it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grebes Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 Saw Duran duran at Birmingham's ground last week supported by the Bravery and that Bedingfield chap.Wife's mate pulled out, so had to go. No, there were no women mud wrestling ala 'Girls on Film' video - before you ask.My problem is hearing of these gigs before they sell out.Is it right that Bristol Arena will take 5 years to complete? Can't see why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gater2 Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 I saw the Darkness at Wembley at Christmas, which absolutely blew me away, and I'm going to see U2 in Dublin on the 24th of June (omg! only 22 days away!!!) and Oasis at Milton Keynes on the 9th July. Going to be incredible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Dazzler Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 Brian Wilson at the Colston Hall 3 weeks tonight - front row seats. I've seen him three times in the last 3 years - twice at the Colston Hall and also at Portsmouth - absolutely amazing!I would have gone to see Rod Stewart at the gate but will be on holiday. Saw Elton John and the Scissor Sisters at AG last year and thoroughly enjoyed that.Two recent gigs I have missed and am kicking myself are Arthur Lee a few weeks back and Donovan about a week ago - what it was to be a child of the sixties!Any one going to see Beautiful South at Westonbirt in June - would have fancied that but it is something like the night before we fly off to Spain.Does anyone get the impression that the club are struggling to sell all the tickets for Neil Diamond and Rod Stewart?

Guest SW Valleys Red Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 About a year or so ago I saw Hanoi Rocks who are still the coolest band. First saw them when I about 14 at the Top Rank, Cardiff. Travelling down from the valleys, the train was full with greasers going to the Marillion gig at St Davids Hall. My mate and I felt so proud to be the only punk rockers on there going to see Hanoi Rocks. We got off on the attitude we formed that night for years later.Saw Quireboys earlier this year - pretty good. Going to see Motley Crue with my son whos 8 later this month. While always indifferent on album (with the notable exception of 'Too Fast For Love'), Motley Crue were always an awesome band live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coldplay next for me, july 5th, day before G8!!!←Seen Matrilyn Manson - awesome!! Also sen him on stage with Eminem which was cool. He does put on a cracking show and is a massively talented bloke it's fair to say!!As for NIN - I saw them before I really knew much about them in 1999/2000... T%hey were amazing. OPlayed Glastonbury's other stage after Moby and there must have been 3 quarters of the festival there! By far the biggest crowd the Other Stage ha seen. Anyway, the mosh pit was mental and the music was special.. different to anything else around. And when I heard the song "hurt" ahhh.... what a song!!

Some of my musical taste is shown in this thread and others.I also happen to like R&B and Hip hop. I am looking forward to seeing Eminem and 50 Cent, and I think Usher is brilliant!Why limit yourself by type - I like good, real music that makes me feel something...

Spud55 Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 Why limit yourself by type - I like good, real music that makes me feel something...←Have to agree there, although i don't think 50 cent is any good, he's a destinctly average rapper at best and Dre's production abilities seem to have taken a downturn IMO.Don't partucularly like R+B as much of it is crap, but some is ok i'm quite happy to listen to Usher as he's pretty damn good.Proper hip-hop is the way forward, not a huge amount better than some good chilled out hip-hop.Also like a fair bit of Drum and Bass.
