[SimonomiS]

Only been to one concert, The Unholy Alliance; Slipknot and Slayer. Saw Hatebreed there too, but missed Mastodon like a lot of people who went to that show I think.

I havent seen that video but I'll look for it at the local blockbuster
Is gabriel still touring? he hasnt come this way in over a decade

the only other band I'd see would be the original lineup of Dire Straits

[el Chi]

I hope to see Iron Maiden this coming summerWell, if you live in the UK, they're supposed to be headlining the Reading/Leeds festivals this year.

[el Chi]

el chi: you saw Dave Brubeck live? the jazz guy? take 5? must have been a great concertYeah it was really really good. It was with a bigger band than his quartet though, which was cool. He's about a million years old now, so it looked as if he might keel over and die at any minute, which certainly lent a potential drama to the proceedings.

[Murray_H]

Muse (and The Zutons as support)
And Jools Holland and his band when they played at Lincoln Castle

[el Chi]

Muse (and The Zutons as support)Both very very good live bands.

[TheAntipop]

I havent seen that video but I'll look for it at the local blockbuster
Is gabriel still touring? he hasnt come this way in over a decade

I don't think he is, the Growing Up tour was pretty big and spectacular. Where do you live in the 'ol world? He went pretty far with the tour.

[MarcoPollo]

Possibly the sexiest woman alive. <Sighs> That bit in Tick where she starts squealing makes me feel funny inside :naughty: Even better live...

Bands I haven't seen yet but I really want to:
Counting Crows
Mars Volta
Deathcab For Cutie and/or The Postal Service

[el Chi]

Dude el chi ur awesome omg seriously shes sexeh :laugh:...do you read spin? when she was on the cover in (i dont remember when) i was like OMG SO HOTT!!!with 2 t's lolSpin? A magazine, I assume... An American one? <Looks at Google>

She's drrreeeamy.

Yeah it was really really good. It was with a bigger band than his quartet though, which was cool. He's about a million years old now, so it looked as if he might keel over and die at any minute, which certainly lent a potential drama to the proceedings.

Hmm, I dunno. Too bad though, man. But pick up that DVD if you see it, its like just being at the show. (:

I remember watching Foo Fighters and Muse in the pissing rain at night with a smile in my heart and trenchfoot in my shoes.

[Teh_Poet]

To be honest, I haven't seen any big bands live. I would kill to see Dream Theater. Or Nirvana, but I don't think that happening.

The biggest I've seen is Mailman's Neighbor, and that because I'm their bassisst.

[Steve]

Saw Better Than Ezra this past Friday at the free "Groovin' On the Grounds" show at my university's parade grounds. Nice time, as they don't allow any alcohol.

[DreamThrall]

Did they have someone come up and play guitar or have they stopped doing that alltogether?

[Steve]

Did they have someone come up and play guitar or have they stopped doing that alltogether?
Heh heh. Better Than Ezra? No, they managed to do it themselves. I know how you feel. I got pissed when they started saying they were "from New Orleans" when everybody who's gone to LSU knows they started playing in Baton Rouge.

[pomegranate]

Libertines 5 times?! Damn you el Chi, I'm jealous!

Blondie are damn cool! Placebo are good live also. The Streets are amazing - Skinner's a god in scally clothing.
I saw Kelly Rowland, Busted AND Daniel Bedingfield at Radio One's big day out a couple of years back. Do you NEED any more musical genius, ever!? <Dies>

No no no, I mean used to have someone from the audience come up and play the last verse/chorus of "This Time Of Year", but the last 2 shows I've been to they didn't. (Well actually, they had someone go up and play the cowbell, which while funny, isn't as cool as actually playing guitar with the band). What's up with THAT?

Ooooooooooooooh. Well, they might have. I didn't stay for all of their show.

[Fat Tony!]

Meh I haven't been to a concert before, I don't like many popular bands/ the band never goes to UK.

[MrMan]

Anyone who's been at reading festival the past 3 years, worthy of mention are the prodigy, offspring, foo fighters, linkin park, blur, blink 182, greenday, o shit way too many....also great bands but not big name ones include the music and AFI, they rocked

[Korgoth]

ozzfest 99' and 00'

my favorites were
Black Sabbath
System of a Down
Deftones
Pantera
Soulfly
Static X
Fear Factory
Incubus
Primus
But there were many many more great bands there...
Then Music as a Weapon
Disturbed

Systematic (very good)
Drowning pool (don't like em')
Stereomud (decent)

And when I was like 10 I went to a moody blues concert with my pops, good damn show actually, even though they aren't really my thing.

[Spectre01]

Bad Religion, the I just started listening to music like 2 months ago and so far, it's my favourite band. i'm not really into musci though.

[Ennui]

going to nine inch nails this fall.

[Dalamari]

The Doors - '02

They replaced Jim Morrison with the lead singer of The Cult, he sounds like Jim but HARDLY has the great stage acts, he jumps around the stage like it's a Backstreet Boys concert

[Dr. Freeman]

going to nine inch nails this fall.

i want to go :(
the day tix went on sale here in Toronto, my brother was supposed to be the one to get me the tix (i couldn't.. had something very important to do) and he let me down :|

anyway, the two concert dates sold out within 5 minutes :(

[Calanen]

I saw INXS a long time ago.

I also had the Red Hot Chilli Peppers in my cab. And I did not even know it was them until the chick who was with them told me after they got out - as she was going on further by herself. Not a fan - had a look at them as they crossed the road, then made a note to watch a video clip. Hmm - was them.

I picked them up near the Sydney Showground, maybe in 1993/1994 (?) (Those years are all a blur sorry). In talking to them I said how was your night. And they said, 'Good'. What did you do? 'Oh we are in a band and we played on stage - all of us are in the band together - not her though (being the girl)'. And I thought these guys were just the usual pub band. And I said 'How's that working out for you then?' 'Oh pretty good.'

[Polaris]

I saw Queen with Paul Rodgers! And mayby I will see Nightwish this summer!

[Kangy]

Going to see Ben Folds on the 14th June. It'll be fantastic, I heard he's an awesome live act.

[EC]

The only concert that I've been to had
Snoop Dogg
Korn
Linkin Park

The Tour was led by Linkin Park, called Projekt Revolution, if some of you have heard it. There was also Less Than Jake and The Used, but they aren't necessarily big name bands (to me. Please don't flame me if you like them)
The awesome thing about the concert was that they were in Bonner Springs, KS (about 50 miles from where I live) on August 24th, one day before my birthday, and Linkin Park is one of my favorite bands.

[noldevin]

rush, breaking benjamin, oh and of course blue man group lol.

[J_Tweedy]

Metallica, The Strokes, Sonic Youth- that's about it- NZ dont get many good acts

[Bohonkie]

U.S.E
Bloc Party
AC Newman
Arcade Fire
Kanye West
Wilco
Modest Mouse
THE PIXIES

All of the above have been awesome. Arcade Fire though was my favorite, though. That band is absolutely insane on stage. Of course, seeing the Pixies was a semi-religious experience as well.

Id kill, seriously, to see the Pixies and the Arcade Fire live, you lucky bastard! Wilco and Modest mouse too! Nz doesn't get any good freakin acts. We have got Interpol this August for orientation at our Uni but other than that...

[Bohonkie]

Id kill, seriously, to see the Pixies and the Arcade Fire live, you lucky bastard! Wilco and Modest mouse too! Nz doesn't get any good freakin acts. We have got Interpol this August for orientation at our Uni but other than that...

Yeah, it's nice living 3 hours from the Gorge, one of the nicest venues in the country let alone the world.

But yeah, Arcade Fire is rediculous. The red-haired-napoleon-dynamite lookalike guy at one point put on a nappy red helmet and started playing the rhythm on his head while screaming and climing scaffolding, and then started hitting his bandmates with the beat. Plus they sound amazing, which is a plus. Stage presense is only half the battle...

The Pixies...wow. Their set was soooo jam packed with songs...absolutely no down time between tracks. Plus the band is just so cool looking...The female bass player was just smoking and jamming and then she'd sing...what a beautiful voice she has. They did some slight variations on Bone Machine and Where is My Mind?, and came out with Debaser for the encore. I'm a huge Doolittle fan, if you didn't notice.

Yeah, Wilco was spot on. They sounds almost too good in concert, plus almost all of their songs end in absolute chaos, which makes for an exciting show. Modest Mouse...what can I say, they put on a ****in' good show. I've heard from friends that sometimes they're too inebriated to even perform, but they were amazing the night I saw them. They played quite a few old songs, which I was hoping for. Doing the Cochroach and 3rd Planet were memorable highlights. When Isaac Brock went over to his keyboard and played World At Large, the entire crowd busted out their zippos and let them burn. It was a sweet experience, for sure.

But anyway, Interpol is awesome. I havn't seen them live, but I absolutely adore, "Turn Out The Bright Lights". Antics is alright as well. Definately check that out man. I'm actually heading to a Presidents of the USA concert this Saturday...not really a huge name band(For those of you not familiar with them, they sing the "millions of peaches" song), but they put on EXCELLENT shows. They're the only band I've seen that ad-libs new songs for every concert.

Let me know how Interpol goes. Hopefully they'll make a trek to the Pacific Northwest soon.

[J_Tweedy]

will do, hope 'turn on the bright lights' features more than 'Antics'- although antics is not a bad album.

[Dalamari]

I just saw the Presidents of the USA tonight. They were ****in' amazing! If anyone's not familiar with them, they're the band that sing the "millions of peaches" song. They just seemed super cool and were completely personal with the audience. Definately worth checking out if they're in town, one of my favorite concerts ever.

They played at a festival over here a couple of weeks ago. I saw their act on TV> They were very good. And that Peaches-song is very funny.
"Peaches come from a can
they were put there by the man"
