    I will claim that honour. ;)

    Went through another cycle of playing their first album recently. Must get around to listening to the second one, White Bear. Apparently very good indeed.

    Skindred were a support act at my first ever gig. Along with Raging Speedhorn. The headliners were Will Haven.

    No - I was away when he played The Palladium. Just can't believe he's still going, though - unbelievable! Was it a good show?

    Seen both Manson and Slipknot. Both great shows. Can't believe I've never seen SOAD. Best metal gig I saw was Machine Head. In fact probably the best gig I ever went to. Immense.

    Lauren Laverne just playing "Career Opportunities" in honour of the Clash's first ever gig, 40 years ago this week! <yikes>

    I saw Slipknot earlier this year and it was absolutely insane! Such a fantastic live show. Not getting to see SOAD live is one of my biggest regrets- SUGAR!

    I saw Manson at Download 09, he was awful. Looked bloody pissed.

    Slipknot on the other hand are fantastic, seen them too many times though.

    Yep. I saw them back in '99 or '00 on the their first UK tour a few months after their debut album.

    Ah, you lucky man. My parents wouldn't let me see them when I was younger.

    Yes, Warehouse is my favourite, but I love all of their stuff, even the manic 100 miles an hour early Hardcore material. The closest I've got to seeing them live is the 1985 London gig on youtube. The sound that that just three of them make is amazing with Bob Mould providing rhythm and lead guitar in one.
    They are a sort of almalgam of my first two choices..The Clash and The Beatles ie melodic Punk

    I saw Marylyn Manson at a festival with Metallica and Placebo back in the late 90s. Not my cup of tea, I don't rate him as a musician. Placebo unfortunately had already released their second album so were playing songs from not and not their excellent self titled debut. Metallica were amazing. I was like 14/15 though so don't take my word for it.

    1. A Static Lullaby. Starts things off playing ...And Don't Forget To Breathe in it's entirety. Nothing else mind as everything they've released since has been absolute pap.
    2. Underoath.
    3. Alexisonfire. Never got to see them live. Seems unlikely now with Dallas focusing more on City and Colour.

    I could probably fill about ten lists with different genres and eras but I've stuck to bands I never got the chance to see live.

    I never saw Alexisonfire, but I caught City and Colour earlier this year. Unbelievable set of vocals on him.

    Most fun gigs I've ever been to have gotta be the two times I was lucky enough to see Chas n Dave. Absolute knees-up.

    I've been to so many good ones and a handful of awful gigs.

    I saw Alexisonfire in Toronto :) sounded ok, not quite like the record. Have you ever seen Funeral for a Friend? Live, sounds just as good as the recording. Impressive.

    I've seen FFAF 3 times and have been exceptional each time. One of my favourite bands.
