Gigs

[ungreat]

Anyone been to any recently/got any planned?

Went to see Tremonti recently,absolutely brilliant live,support act called Wearing Scars were really good too

 

[TheNewNo2]

Last one I went to was Weird Al at the Apollo. Bit disappointing - too many costume changes, not enough songs.

Of course you could also count the American Idiot musical.

 

[SS4]

I'm going to see Sabaton next year at the O2 in Birmingham.

Still debating on whether to get a day ticket to download for the Friday so I can see Rammstein

 

[AM9]

Saw Def Leppard and Whitesnake at Wenbly Arena on Friday. Def Leppard were OK but Whitesnake were just unbearable, Coverdale just screams into the mic., and the levels were so bad that it just distorted. It was easier to listen to outside in the food courts. The headbangers at the front of the floor area seemed to be enjoying themselves but I doubt that they could really hear much very clearly.

Still, at least travel there and back was easy.

 

[GatwickDepress]

Last gig I went to was some... local band in a pub that I've already forgot everything about except how mediocre they were!

I love Sabaton! Unfortunately I'm busy when they're near.

Last gig was New Order at Brixton in November, my favourite! Great gig, nice mix of all their old hits plus some material off their new album.

 

[FQ]

I haven't been to one in over half a year but that one was Passenger at Birmingham O2 arena.

 

[Butts]

Last (paid for) Gig I went to was The Boomtown Rats at Southampton Gaumont in 1978.....

Is it time I went to another ?

Both great bands! I'd like to see Rammstein frequent the UK a bit more.

The most recent gigs for me were Nightwish and Cradle of Filth. I'm seeing Within Temptation in Holland next week, but sadly nothing after that until March. I'd love to see AC/DC too, but tickets are about £85, so forget that

 

[Arglwydd Golau]

Since September I've seen King Crimson (twice), Gong, Brian Auger, PiL (not my choice but I enjoyed it) Steve Hackett (awful) and lastly it was The Waterboys.

Butts, if your last gig was 1978 it must have been so good to last you almost a lifetime!

 

[heart-of-wessex]

I'd love to see Weird Al, shame about the experience you had though, put me off a bit.

Would love to see Coldplay if he still does the classics too rather than just new stuff.

Other than that, got Steve Hackett planned, and Australian Pink Floyd and some smaller Phil Collins tribute lined up for next year, and whenever Genesis tribute G2 is playing, I'd see them too, bloody amazing they are!

I was deafened almost, didn't realise how loud the music would be !!!

I'm to tight to cough for a ticket

 

[EM2]

In a bit of a fallow period at the moment.
But had a good stretch, with the Visions festival in Hackney which included Hinds, Son Lux, Shamir, and Carey Lander's last show with Camera Obscura before she sadly passed away.
Then Sexwitch at Xoxo, Rose Elinor Dougall at The Lexington and La Luz at Hoxton Kitchen.
Wanted to catch Dub Pistols but was working whenever they were playing nearby.

Saw them at the Paralympics closing ceremony. Polished production, but their singing always sound like they are whining.

 

[61653 HTAFC]

Most recent were The Burning Hell last Saturday at the Brudenell Social in Leeds, and Jeffrey Lewis two days earlier at Wharf Chambers, also in Leeds. Next up is likely to be Half Man Half Biscuit at Holmfirth Picturedrome in March.

Go to see Rammstein. Just be aware that if you do, every gig you go to afterwards will pale into insignificance. Absolutely stunning live show, even if you don't understand a word it'll have you throwing horns from start to finish

 

[45rpm]

I also saw Def Leppard & Whitesnake recently,in my case in Manchester which is,of course,very handy for Victoria train & tram station. Whilst Def Leppard were my main reason for going I thoroughly enjoyed Whitesnake as well. I was quite surprised t how much of their (his) stuff I knew. Nothing planned now until Adam Ant in May at York Barbican.

 

[chris89]

May / May not be getting a Day Ticket for Iron Maiden at Download. Still disappointed not doing a proper tour in the UK.

Chris

 

[Cambus731]

Saw Fish at Cambridge a couple of weeks ago.
Nothing definite planned for 2016 but I'm hoping to see UFO, Adam Ant, Mostly Autumn, and Hawkwind.

I've already seen them twice

I'd have to agree that the Made in Germany tour was the best one they've done. That cannon during pussy

I'm also hoping that Black Sabbath come back to Brum for another show

 

[trickyvegas]

March 2016 is shaping up nicely, with tickets for Half Man Half Biscuit in Holmfirth & The Stranglers at Manchester Apollo

 

[scott118]

Suede, Thetford Forest 2014

 

[jayalongtheway]

Shed Seven at Manchester Academy a fortnight since - amazing as ever. Previously NOFX at Leeds O2 in July and Bad Religion at Manchester Ritz in August. Both excellent too. Nothing lined up.

 

[RichmondCommu]

My wife and I saw the Maccabees at the Brixton Academy last night and they were ace!

 

[ungreat]

Off to see The Temperance Movement on wednesday

 

[AndrewE]

Trying to work out where to go to see Caro Emerald... having missed her in Manchester.
Stupid boy!
