The only band I've seen live was Evanescence last november, they were absolutely fantastic - way better than the album was (and I thought the album was good). I should be going to see The Offspring in March (with a bit of luck)
It was a pretty awful gig. The Rapture were decent, easily the best of the 4. The von bondies were terrible, franz ferdinand sound like a glam tribute band or something, FFAF - well I quite liked their album but not overly impressed live
you saw amy lee live words cannot describer her. but i have to agree Evanescence is a good band. but she is just wow
I've seen a few gigs of local bands in perth, WA and mos have been pretty cool. i'd recommend seeing Machine Gun ******** if ever the chance arrives. I'm going to see The Waifs tomorrow night and A Perfect Circle next month then I'm back in perth to see all the local bands there.
Well, tbh, I'm expecting them all to be a bit naff except for FFAF... what kind of music did the Rapture play? I don't have any in my playlist Still looking forward to it though, its not like I have anything better to do that night
Damnit i want to see incubus bad Saw em at Leeds fest a couple of years ago but they werent too good, played a very short gig and they just didnt seem too enthusiastic The new album isnt too bad though. Best bands ive seen are Bad Religion and RHCP (since they are my favourite bands) Also have seen LTJ, Guns n Roses (including buckethead ) Pennywise, NOFX, Hell is for Heroes, etc etc
if i had the brain cells to list all the bands ive seen .... most memorable: karma to burn (without singer) bob mould (the gay dood from husker du if'n ya dont know) morphine (r.i.p.) kyuss into another iceburn (gotta love a nonstop 55 minute hardcore/sXe set with "rockit" in the middle- seamless flow between songs like a dj mixed it) MU330 clutch verve (back in 93 when they were still cool) fIREHOSE titonton duvante & the marzipan orchestra (t rocks, whether spinning or playing live) GWAR millions of others :ed: i forgot avail! duh. Biggest dissapointments: Depeche Mode in 91 karma to burn (with singer) RATM (cancelled due to drummer back injury) mighty mighty bosstones (drove 120 miles for a very lacklustre show, the opening bands were better - face to face and some other ska band) i havent been out much lately ... i think the last show i saw was rev. horton heat back in 2000. maybe karma to burn. same venue, maybe the same week.
NFG Fenix Tx (were class) Jimmy Eat World Lagwagon (almost the best gig) Less Than Jake (the best live band ive seen) The Ataris Alkaline Trio (v v good) Hot Water Music Finch Millencolin (v v v good) Sugarcult (could have been better) Blink 182 (sucked, i just dont like them) Good Charlotte (i only went to take the piss also i had nothing to do sunday morning at reading ) The Used (better than i expected) Saves The Day Hell is for Heroes (enjoyed it having never heard any of there stuff before) Mad Caddies The Movielife King Prawn (caught the end, wish id have seen the whole set) FFAF (they sucked so bad) a lot of these bands i sore at reading last year, but a lot have come round locally so ive seen them again, soon be going to see the ataris and LTJ again, also NOFX are gonna be in bham soon as are Goldfinger and Reel Big Fish, cant wait!
woo just booked tickets to go see bad religion (my favourite band) at manchester uni in may for the second time. was a total bugger of a decision because (very very annoyingly) incubus decided to play on the same night about 3 miles away (as stated in post above i really really want to see incubus again (they werent too good last time i say them.) Ah well, as much as i hate to say it br > incubus (especially incubus' new album which isnt too good)
Spike you went to that as well? Thats a bit odd. Yeah were amazing live. I was moving of my own acord nearer the back of the room.
Was at the showing in Brixton on Saturday (went with Tau and another friend). Was trying to stand up right behind the first barrier. It was too mad infront of the first barrier so moved back. If I had been slightly to the right the singer would have landed right on top of me when he dived in. Helped a girl get up to surf when he jumped in and she tried to get everyone to move her over towards him (girls silleh tbh), she ended up on her head somewhere.
I Voted for Kodos with Anti-Tuesday and Better Than Nothing... awesome show. IV4K is the best live band ever, IMO.
This coming Sunday, I have tickets to go see Sevendust with opening bands Scorn, Illl Nino, and Life of Agony. Mostly, we are going for LoA. Some of teh best concerts I've seen are: RATM Toadies Skatenigs Turbonegro Flametrick Subs The Misfits opening for GWAR Rob Zombie Tool Mojo Nixon ...and more, that's all I can think of right now on a Monday morning.
