The Coverdale/Page album is one of my favourites a fantastic combination... [video=youtube;2_--l7CPc7E]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_--l7CPc7E[/video]
Went to see these last night in Glasgow - excellent band [video=youtube;G5ZhBAylbN4]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5ZhBAylbN4[/video]
On a serious note, that year RATM beat the X factor single to the Christmas number one I downloaded Killing In The Name about 12 times! It was only about 60 pence to download on I-tunes and money well spent! I was so chuffed when they announced on Christmas day it was number 1. Why don't they do something like this every year?
Yeah, I saw them at the Aston Villa Leisure Centre with the original line-up before they chopped and changed a bit........ right up close, only a few hundred in there and a very good show and atmosphere. This was when they were just getting known and Huey's banter was hilarious.
Where to start, major headliners/bands Nirvana (twice) Rolling Stones The Who (twice) Kate Bush Red Hot Chilli Peppers Smashing Pumpkins Depeche Mode Muse (3 times) Kasabian (4 times) Arctic Monkeys (at least 5 times) Oasis (twice) Blur (twice) Pulp (twice) Foo Fighters (twice) Radiohead Sonic Youth Stone Roses (back in 1990, and couple of years ago) The Strokes (twice) Babyshambles Eminem The Killers Snow Patrol Happy Mondays Inspiral Carpets Shed Seven Ocean Colour Scene Paul Weller Keane Neil Young Bob Dylan Primal Scream Hot Chip Moby Australian Pink Floyd So many other bands over the years - go to about 10 gigs a year, been to Reading, Glastonbury a couple of times, T in the Park ten times, and a few minor festivals. Glasgow has a great live music scene, with loads of gigs on every night.
Mate, thanks for sharing that, a very impressive list right there! Got to give a shout out to the Australian Pink Floyd, I'v only seen them once but would like to see again!
Taking my son to see them again in Feb, they're playing the whole of Wish You Were Here - first time it was Dark Side Of The Moon! We've also seen MacFloyd, a Scottish Floyd cover band who are very good, but on a much smaller scale. I could probably add another 50 bands to the list above, just put the most well known ones on there!!!
Nice one! I would also be interested in more obscure or lesser known bands you have seen if you can be bothered. I'm chuffed with how our music thread has turned out. It's a real music lovers thread, we all love many eras and styles here so don't be shy. I personally have enjoyed pretty much everyone's input on here so far and have discovered some great music. It's the gift that keeps giving!
Ok UTRs, will add a few of the better obscure bands for you! The Sunshine Underground We Were Promised Jetpacks The Phantom Band Aidan Moffat Acid Mothers Temple Pigeon Detectives Dananakroyd Reverend and the Makers Florence and the Machine The Lovely Eggs The Twang Kaiser Chiefs The Enemy British Sea Power New Order Tribes Twisted Wheel The Pogues REM The Ramones Billy Bragg The Pretender Lou Reed The Charlatans The Cult Frankie Goes To Hollywood Public Image Limited Mock Turtles Five Thirty Carter USM The Vaccines Two Door Cinema Club Esperanza Victorian Trout Conspiracy Little Man Tate The View The Music Alt J Fake Blood Bloody Beatroots Death Crew 77 Django Django Doves Twin Atlantic Frightened Rabbit Paolo Nutini Foals Yeah yeah yeahs Will dig through my old tickets and add some more once I get home!
some of the many gigs ive seen over the years... Zeppelin - Earls Court 75 Queen (twice) early 70's at Hammersmith. Bad Company Rush Deep Purple twice Whitesnake twice Sabbath Rainbow Thin Lizzy (twice) Dr Feelgood in Southend 1975 Hawkwind Stray The Groundhogs The Damned The Vibrators Supertramp ELO Deaf School many times! that's just a small selection, but strangely never seen Tull!
Again many thanks for taking the time out to post and again another impressive list. I can tell your what I like to call a proper music head! All the regular posters on this thread are also what I call proper music heads and that's what has made this place the fun and relaxing thread it is. Thanks to you all. I hope you find the time to share some music posts on our thread Steelmonkey, the more the merrier!
