    Bands I'd Like To See

    We have the last gig I saw thread - How about bands you'd really like to see.

    Of the ones I have not seen I'd like to see Pink Floyd, Shinedown, Counting Crows and Train

    Of the ones I have seen, for me it's probably Faith No More, Three Doors Down, Journey, Roger Waters, Aerosmith, Dave Lee Roth (although he's probably too old now) Guns And Roses, Faster Pusseycat, the Red Hot Chillipeppers and The Eagles.
    Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

    I preferred version 1!

    My friends band (The Crave) just supported Shinedown on their recent European tour...he could even get me backstage to the Islington gig, but I was out of town that night! Gutted!

        Enjoy mate, Saw them last month and they were tulip hot.

        I've seen GnR - the original line up, probably the loudest gig I've ever been to, and wouldn't mind seeing how the revised line up sounds, Axl sounds a bit rough now.
        Who has time? Who has time? But then if we do not ever take time, how can we ever have time?

          Of the bands I've never managed to see I'd like to see Aerosmith, The Police, Lifehouse, The Black Crowes, Porcupine Tree and Calexico.

          There are loads of bands I'd like to see again.
          Where are we going? And what’s with this hand basket?

                I saw Guns and Roses on a wet midweek night when they failed to sell out the Apollo in Manchester while I was at school. They were supported by faster pusseycat who I thought were tons better. Then everybody latched onto Appetite for Destruction and they became popular. I then saw them when they opened at Donnington - where 2 people died during their set. The last time I saw them was a couple of years ago at the MEN and his voice was spot on. Although he is still a dick when it comes to going on stage late. The concert didn't finish until 20 to 1 in the morning and so most people would have either had to leave early or struggle getting home. Also he kept going off stage after every 3 or 4 songs which was a bit of a pain. There are only so many solos you can listen to before they get boring.
