Which bands/artists have you seen live.

*Brain fries*

[swede]

*Brain fries*

I have no idea.

[ampersand]

first - incubus 02

last - ash 10

i've got every single act i've been to see live and at fests in my last.fm info. i don't think anyone cares for me to post it all here though

[eFestivals]

I've seen about 400 bands a year for the last ten years. Then I have 15+ years of a slower acquisition of those I've seen before that. It would be a VERY long list!

edit: but there are 7 on your list I've not seen.

[ampersand]

just looked at yours and muse, then muse with the edge doesn't count as two

i don't include support in mine either, dunno if you do?

[Paul ™]

I would have no idea where to start, am 38 and have been going to festivals for 19 years.. not to mention how many gigs I have been to aswell.

[The Nal]

What about first/last bands you saw, and bands you cant actually believe youve seen.

Plus any that are like a guilty secret, I mean ive got Sugababes and Girls Aloud on my list

[swede]

[swede]

First gig I saw was Buddy Guy in May 1992 when I was 12. First gig I went to sans parents was the Prodigy on NYE 95.

Guilty secret? Dont really have one. Ive never paid for a Sugababes type show.

But Ive seen hundreds over the years. The Prodigy about 14 times for example, Springsteen maybe 10 times and so on. Saw Michael Jackson too.

I have all the tickets still for every gig Ive been to. Have been meaning to make a bathroom wallpaper out of the all.

[eFestivals]

Which 7 Neil, im intrigued.

Well, I say I've not seen them, but it's possible that I have.

And I can't count.

The 'seven' are:-

Adam Green

Cajun Dance Party

David Bowie (am still kicking myself for having skipped him at Glasto)

Girls Aloud

Johnny Marr and The Healers

Joshua Radlin

Slash

Spinal Tap

Tony Hadley

Tenacious D

The Slits

Whale

OK, so i's actually 12 (if I'm right about not having seen Adam Green & Cajun Dance Party [they're the two I'm most unsure of]).

What was the first band you ever saw ?

Preying Mantis I think.

[The Nal]

I saw the Sugagbabes at V one year, they were on the mainstage and me and my mates were off our heads with no-one to watch. Its not like Glasto were you can go for a wander about the amazing site, so we wandered over to the mainstage and watched the Sugababes

Edited July 15, 2010 by The Nal

[Lithium05]

First I was taken to was The Who at Wembley arena circa 2000, Joe Strummer supported, I don't remember any of it because I was ill and on medication.

First I went without my dad was Wheatus at Brixton Academy in 2001, I won tickets on an MTV phone in (I was trying to win an X-Files boxset, I lost and wound up with Wheatus tickets) I went with my brother.

First I paid for and went to with my mates was Foo Fighters at Wembley arena in 2002. Cave In supported, they were poo.

First mosh pit was Saliva who supported Stone Sour in February 2003

First gig abroad was Reel Big Fish in Florida in 2004

First recorded gig was InMe at the Astoria in 2005, i can pick myself out on the DVD.

First non festival gig outside of London was Bowling for Soup supported by the Bloodhound Gang, Zebrahead and Army of Freshmen (Oct 2007)

First gig alone was Nightwish in march 2008

I've caught drumsticks from New Found Glory (Nov 2008) and Scars on Broadway (Sep 2008) and plectrums from NOFX (May 2009) and The Offspring (Aug 2009)

To get a full list of bands I would have to consult my wall of gig tickets.

[eFestivals]

Who did you miss him for? Rumours of a reformed Smiths in the Bimble Inn or something I hope.

for no one at all - I wandered around site, looking for something interesting.

I was convinced that he'd serve up a set of new stuff and no classics, and I'd hate it, so I skipped it altogether.

===========

As for crap pop acts ....

All Saints - miming at TitP in 2000.

also 'Appleton' there a few years later ... but no miming that time.

Sugababes

Kylie

Daniel Bedingfield (who is actually surprisingly good! )

Nelly Furtado (dreadful!)

Jemini

Big Brovaz

Jamelia (just to check if her legs are really that long. They are ).

Pink

Black Eyed Peas

... and probably more, tho luckily they seem to have faded from memory.

Presume the Thrills was the best gig of that lot?........

never have a band been so wrongly named.

[eFestivals]

Preying Mantis I think.

Have realised that's not right.

Joan Armatrading, followed by Eric Clapton - Blackbushe, 1978.

I would have seen Bob Dylan too, but I had to go home for my tea.

love Neil, aged 13.

What about first/last bands you saw, and bands you cant actually believe youve seen.

Plus any that are like a guilty secret, I mean ive got Sugababes and Girls Aloud on my list

[Langdale Wolf]

First:

Eric Clapton at the NIA in Brum aged about 11. I had flu.

Last:

Stevie Wonder at Glastonbury 2010.

Bands I've seen more than any other:

The Bees (10)

I Am Kloot (9)

Show of Hands (9)

Seth Lakeman (6)

Ocean Colour Scene (5)

Favourite ever gig:

Paul McCartney (Glastonbury 2004). Simply incredible and a lifelong dream came true that night.

Worst ever gig:

Either Oasis (Glastonbury 2004) or The Twang (who supported the Wonder Stuff last Christmas). Both embarrassing. I would have felt sorry for them if they both weren't acting like such complete w**kers.

[captain futility]

first gig i remember:

Eric Bogle and Jake Thackray at the Runcorn Folk Festival (1978?)

first concert experience:

Barclay James Harvest, Liverpool Empire, 1981
