It is a fantastic album! Chas & Dave and The Cockney Rejects I possibly saw at the same time. It's all a bit of a blur really but I remember Chas & Dave more as they were on in the daylight!

Black Sabbath, last night!!

Saw At The Drive-In on Tuesday night in Brixton. Amazing show by an amazing band. The energy has gone down (Omar Rodriguez-Lopez looked like he didn't want to be there) but the musicianship has gone up, so it was unbelievable.

And as a bonus, they played one of my favourite songs of all time, Catacombs.

Who's playing drums for them on this tour? They're all looking good and nice to see grins on their faces :D

edit: BF - I'd love to see At The Drive In, amazing LOUD band :d

Tommy Clufetos, who is usually Ozzy's drummer, and has previously played with Ted Nugent, Uncle Alice and Rob Zombie,

Beside ticketmaster recommend me a good site so I can see who touring, concerts or comedians etc

Went to see Gong last night and it was ****ing awesome. Totally blew my mind, best they've ever been. I'm still flying! :)

Were there any Pothead Pixies in their Flying Teapot's there?

Yes...sort of. Well, there was Daevid Allen in his Pixie outfit. :lol:

My friend kept running out because it was too intense for her. Full on space cadet mode. Nice to see new initiates freaking out. :D

Had 3 gigs in 3 days last week which was great... Saw MULATU ASTATKE on Thursday, the so called Godfather of Ethiopian Jazz (probably best known for featuring on the soundtrack of Jim Jarmusch's film Broken Flowers), THE LEVELLERS on Friday in Brum and then FRANK TURNER on saturday.

I've just booked my tickets to see Queens of the Stone Age at the Glasgow Hydro on November 16 and am going to see KT Tunstall at the Glasgow Sage on November 20.

I'm also considering getting tickets for Thirty Seconds to Mars at the Newcastle Arena on November 18 – that would make it an extremely busy week!

Off to see THE BOSS Broooooce Springsteen later today at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry! Cannot wait :D

I saw The Who at the NEC in Birmingham yesterday

Setlist:

"I Am The Sea, The Real Me, Quadrophenia, Cut My Hair, The Punk And The Godfather, I’m One, The Dirty Jobs, Helpless Dancer, Is It In My Head?, I’ve Had Enough, 5:15, Sea And Sand, Drowned, Bell Boy, Doctor Jimmy, The Rock, Love Reign O'er Me

Who Are You, You Better You Bet, Pinball Wizard, Baba O’Riley, Won’t Get Fooled Again, Tea And Theatre"

As enjoyable as the main part of the show was, which Who fans will recognise as being the entire 'Quadrophenia' album, the greatest hits package which made up the encores were even better!

AND...due to modern technology, we had The Ox playing a bass solo during '5:15', and The Loon singing his parts during 'Bell Boy'

Who? :lol:

You mean who's The Ox? That would be John Entwistle.

I know, I was attempting to be funny regarding the band name, and you've just ruined it :cry::cry::lol:

Oh. Should've said you were being funny, to avoid confusion. :tongue1:

Going to see Sigur Ros in November in Dublin. Im not familiar with much of their stuff but they are my GFs favourite band so i have to go along for the ride. Its gonna be alot different to the types of concerts i usually go to but if it keeps the lady happy then ill gladly tag along.

Hope i dont fall asleep or happiness may quickly turn to a black eye :lol:

Just got tickets for Pixies in Manchester on November. QOTSA are playing Manchester the day before so still need to find standing tickets at a reasonable price for that

Going to see Ricky Warwick (Almighty) & Tony Wright (Terrorvision) play an acoustic show in Aberdeen this Friday.

Got tickets to see Black Sabbath in Glasgow in December. :woot:

Saw Chelsea Wolfe last weekend. Fairly good. I was the only person there without a beard as far as I could tell. Going to see Savages, weekend after next.

Going to see 30 Seconds to Mars in November when they come to the MEN arena. More than a little excited.:happy:

I wouldn't mind going to see them .

Just seen Suede and going to see Queens of the Stone Age so can't complain at least I'm still getting out and about and seeing the odd band here and there.

Before the Dawn | Kate Bush

Apparently, tickets are priced at £49, £59, £75, £95 and £135

I love the way it's been described as 'a tour' when all 15 shows are in the same place. Surely 'a tour' involves touring and actually playing in different venues?

Hopefully I can get a ticket for Kate. I think it may sell out quickly though.

I have also attended Download festival every year since 2006 and im sure i have missed out quite a few bands as well.

Guns N Roses i have seen in France Ireland Greece and twice in America once at Madison Square Garden in 2006, where we also got to attend the aftershow party and meet and drink with the band, Axl Rose is a very funny guy, also got to hang out with the band at Reading and Leeds 2010 and watched the shows from the stage side.

ACDC got to see them at madison Square Garden as well in 2008


Upcoming shows

Download 2014
Asking Alexandria
Bring Me The Horizon

As you've seen Guns N’ Roses 20 times, you're obviously familiar with the routine. Are they always late getting on stage?

I saw them once and the boos were getting very loud because they were (I think) about 45 minutes late getting on stage, meaning the show ran over and people had to leave early in order to get the last train home.

Guns N Roses start no earlier than 10 they will play 2-3 hours dont bank on getting out much before 1am

i myself have been late for a Guns N Roses show from Drinking in the Bar outside venue missed the first 5 songs ha ha ha

Its a well know thing they play late and in my eyes your attending a Rock concert not a f'king play, but im biased as im a lifetime fan and can happily put up with the shit that goes with the band

It's a shame you haven't actually seen Guns n'Roses though.

Not just Axl and chums. ;)

Ill try not to raise to the bait....

I love the current line up of the band, having met and spoken to many of them on different occasions they are a great bunch of guys, and to me musically they play better than the original band, i would of liked to have seen the original line up but alas i was too young but i followed everything they did, on the plus side i have seen Izzy and Duff play with GN'R as guests and i have seen the other band members in other bands except Steven Adler

Being ancient (41) i was lucky enough to see the original line up at Donington in 88. It was my very first gig - Helloween were the very first band i ever saw live.

To be honest the gig itself was ruined by a poor sound due to a swirling wind and the many stoppages for crowd control. (We had no idea anyone had lost their lives during the set until we got home). You could tell they were a raw hungry act at the time. I and my mates who went are actually briefly on the video to Paradise City which was partly filmed there. You have to pause it and really look at the crowd to spot us :lol:

The next time i saw them was at Maine Rd, Manchester on the Use Your Illusion tour in 92 supported by Faith No More and Soundarden. I then saw them at Milton Keynes Bowl on the same tour, a year later, then called the Skin n' Bones tour supported by The Cult, Soul Asylum and Blind Melon. By then the dynamics of the band had changed dramatically and they sat around on sofas for several songs :lol:.

I've not seen Axl and co since. I really didn't rate The Chinese Democracy bar a couple of tracks. For something that was something like twenty years in the making it really is piss poor.

I saw Velvet Revolver a couple of times too. They were good.

I posted a pic of my GN'R singles collection in this thread last year. http://www.cult-labs.com/forums/musi...lection-5.html. But it's posted below as well to save you looking.

My thoughts exactly. Nice for London though :rolleyes:

Your lucky i was only 9 when they played Donnington, would of loved to see them back then, but it wasn't to be i was denied permission to see them in 92 at Milton Keynes so had to wait until 2002 to see them, again im biased as Axl could fart and i would think it was a masterpiece, but i think Chinese Democracy is a great album and will stand the test of time once the stigma of "oh it took 23 years to make"

i recognise a lot of things in your photo there, maybe one day Ill post my GNR collection for now here is my Chinese Democracy collection, with a signed Vinyl and CD

https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.n..._1145628_n.jpg

Why all the cd albums? Do they have different track listings?

A very impressive collection by the way. :woot:

ha ha ha

different countries, a sticker here and there, one is from Japan or Malaysia, rather Anal to be honest, i even brought 10 copies and gave some to friends, Chinese Democracy was a big deal for me

You certainly are a true fan. :nod:

Yeah i like them.
