Best have probably been Snow Patrol last year, Metallica last year at Download in Glasgow, Slipknot and Slayer last year and the Chili Peppers at Murrayfeild in Edinburgh.
Theres probably loads more I could list, it's just too early.
But the only groups i've seen play in like a big huge outdooor crowd gigs are, Greenday, Less Than Jake, No Doubt, A, Hooberstank and Rival Schools.
I was gonna call you a bloody pop-punk chick, and slap you, but then I seen Rival Schools. Now I envy you.
You bastard.
Just any general concert/gig really...indoor and outdoor!
and oh my gosh - you've seen green day!!!
Fun Lovin' Criminals were also pretty damn good.
Lol shhh, I was only 15 i didn't know any better
I really liked rival schools, pity everyone else thought they were pants.
Ohh fair enough then.
And yeah but this was nearly 3 years ago.
You know i can't even remember them all but these are the top 5.
Suicide Machines
4ft Fingers
Farse
Uncle Brian
and some really cool band called Adequate 7 who i hadn't heard of untill i went but they are signed now and everything.
ETA oh and i also saw mel c when i was about 12/13 because my friend wanted to go
Tbh I fail to see how they couldn't be good.
Brilliant band.
A lad i know went to see them about 2 weeks ago, and he said they were amazing! I wanted go with him! :yes:
Prefer going to festivals so I can see loads for cheaper
Went to Reading last year and saw Darkness, Franz Ferdinand, Morrissey, Placebo, White stripes, Lost prophets, Green day and others I cant remember. Went to V the year before and saw RHCP, David Gray and spearhead. Also seen the pogues, van morrison and toots and the maytals.
Really. Never.
Yes, I feel deprived
The last one I think was Robbie 3 years ago, there have been too many in between to remember.
was that at Old Trafford cricket ground? cuz if it was, i was there too, twas a great gig.
i have too many gigs to mention, so i'll mention my favourites, nofx, bad religion, foo fighters (with cave in :yes: :yes: ) a perfect circle (twice, oh yeh baby)..
rise & shine - if u like rival schools, u might like some of walters old bands - Quicksand and Gorilla Biscuits.
I've been to way too many concerts and am tryin to stop going to ones where i like say one song by a band as it gets ridiculous so now I've seen most of my faves, if I don't go-I won't worry now! Unless its Bonjovi then i have to go!
Big concerts that are outdoors have been few-mainly been bonjovi unless we are talkin festivals but I class them as festivals not concerts.
At the mo I prefer gigs in arensa size of the brum nec. I used to prefer smaller initmate ones like the wolves wulfrun sized gigs. I dunno-maybe I'm too old for this!
Best recent gig was greenday by far. Very intensely pleasing and very fab!
Best gig ever-hmm do I say the one that made a dream come true when i saw bonjovi last time and touched his bottom? hmm its too hard, theres been too many!
what makes a gig the best for you? Does it matter if the support is crap, the car parking awful, the beer overpriced or do all factors besides the excellentness of the main band not matter? Just wondered!
Iron Maiden Dance of Death tour at the MEN.
Utterly brilliant.
right, big bands lemme think...

My ex boyfriend's band played with all three of those. The blokes in Farse trashed the whole pub where they were playing and ended up making no money at all 'cos they had to pay for all the smashed glasses. 4ft Fingers are wakners but Uncle Brian are really, really sweet.
I've seen loads of gigs/concerts/live bands, probably over 100, well, well over 100, but the best was Iron Maiden last year @ Newcastle Arena.
I've seen all these bands (though some were supports or festivals):
Weezer x2
Tori Amos
Radiohead
Remy Zero
Easyworld x2
Steve Harley
Biffy Clyro
Eric Clapton
The Who
Kasabian (who were shit)
Coldplay
Idlewild
Electric Soft Parade x2
Foo Fighters
Pulp
Mercury Rev
Ash
Muse
NOFX
The Strokes
and loads I've forgotten.
Ta very much! Plenty more to add to it in the coming months too, not least Turisas, Lordi (again) and Finntroll!
then The Hives
and Taking Back Sunday/ Fall Out Boy
I cant list them all...
Is anyone going to The Taste Of Chaos Tour?
