Just wonder what gigs or bands are your favorites?

Bowling For Soup was last Wed (6th of Oct) at Rock City in Nottingham that was a good set and also got some sigs this time. Only quibble is that im disappointed with Chris he never flashed his body or ass like past gigs (got a great pic of Chriss ass from Download though)
Other than that ive not really been to many so far i was hoping to see Electric Six at the end of November at Rock City in Nottingham but its an 18 and i dont know what Rock City is like at controlling there age limits. Oh and i keep looking at Blink 182 which should be playing on the 8th of Dec at Nottingham Arena at the National Ice Centre.

Im more for Irish Folk (Loreena McKennitt, Chris Moore, The Dubliners, Micheal Flatley (that man is not only a tapdancer but plays a devilishly beautiful tune on his flute as wel !!), Planxty...) and classical music (Mozart, Tchaikovsky, Grieg to name just a few), but my favourite modern band is Rammstein.
Other interests: Era, Enya, polyphonic music (Renaissance), Gregorian music, good old Rock & Roll, student songs (I been a cantor for 3 years at university)...
I cannot say that I like modern music very much since the onset of house and techno. I can appreciate death and black metal and some rap groups (to my great horror I like Eminem more and more but that is because of his cadence and lyrics).
Generally I buy and collect songs or pieces of music that I like, not really bothering about what genre they belong to or who performs. My cd and LP/singles library is therefore rather eccentric and diverse. Being half-deaf I have a more intense appreciation for music.
I listen to just about anything that isnt R & B. Cant stand the stuff, its just the same two notes and line played over and over:lame:
At the moment my favourite band is a metal group called Nightwish who are just coming out over here, but theyve been around for a while.
I went to see the Zutons last night. Great band, great show.
But far and away my favourite band is Pixies.
Ah, The Pixies... Me and my brother Pete saw them several times at Brixton Academy in the late 80s. Happy days...
My musical tastes go from Ahlam and Aisha Kandishas Jarring Effects (Moroccan/Berber trance), through Japanese Techno, Happy House and Big Beat with the odd good pop song thrown in (like George Michaels version of Flawless)
I havnt seen anything live for many years but they include Ian Dury, The Ramones, Talking Heads, The Tubes, The Stranglers, Tapper Zukie......yeah it was that long ago. Mind you, the ones I would really love to see live are GWAR - I think their videos are hilarious, especially the one with the penguins.
Was too young to see the Pixies the first time around, but caught them at Brixton this June. Amazing :)
The last live music that I went to see was Ashley Hutchings band the Albion Band at the Sun Hotel, Hitchin. Ex founder member of both Fairport Convention and Steeleye Span, in folk rock circles, hes known as the Guvnor.
Aerosmith, Def Leppard, Bon Jovi, Blue Oyster Cult, Guns N Roses, and U2
New ones I like are Hoobastank and some others :)
Team Gore - revolutionizing the vapourbot world
Linkin Park, Embrace, Coldplay, The Streets, System of a Down, Muse, Pearl Jam and Bush to name but a few.
Cant be doing with this R&B stuff. All the same to me.
Kody not heard of Blue Oyster Cult. Who are they?
Blue Oyster Cult, a very old light rock group, American in origin I believe. Most famous song= Dont fear the reaper.
As for Aerosmith, woot!
Mad Matt, B.O.C. also did a couple of songs that were co written by M. Moorecock, the writer of the Elric books. They were Black Blade and Veteran of the psyhic wars.
They also did a song that I would think was played all over the USA last Wed (3rd) GODZILLA.
That is as it was his 50th birthday(50 years since the first film was released in Japan.)
Massive fan of most rock and metal music, such as Linkin Park, CKY and Sum 41, but Im a big fan of the old guitaur masters like Queen, Def leppard, Aerosmith and Lynard Skynard (sp ?)
Lynard Skynard. Now theres a name i havent heard for a long time. A guy i used to work with about 4 years ago played me some of his stuff. Quite enjoyed his music although i have not heard anything from him since then.
Anybody else seen Les Miserables, the music is great. If you get a chance to see it make the effort.
Aparently Sum 41 have some music in the new Godzilla film, not sure what though.
Going to see The Darkness tonight! ROCK ON! :)

Now, you may call me a dinosaur, but most of these so called rock groups around today are rank amatures compared to the truly great rock bands of the 60s and 70s.
I mean, how can you compare some of this modern c**p to something like Deep purples Smoke On The Water and Child In Time, Pink Floyds Breath In The Air and The Great Gig In The Sky. Or if your taste is little softer, Fleetwood Macs Rhiannon or Queens Bohemian Rhapsody... No contest!!
Dont get me wrong here, there are some very talented artists around at the moment in various styles of music, and I will very happily listen to most of it (with one or two exeptions.)
But when it comes to ROCK you cant beat the Old School!
Hey Dinosaur! The Darkness rock! The high pitched voice, tight lycra trousers long flowing blond hair, guitar solos..........perfect
and I dont even like rock music
I personly think The Darkness are rubbish.
I used to like them, before they tried to be all cocky and think their own the world.
Thats the whole point of the joke. Youre not old enough to remember Yes and ELP because The Darkness have taken delusions of grandeur from them as well.
BTW I love the profile pic. I wonder what would have happened if Paul Merton had planned the invasion of Prussia?
The Darkness are too much like Queen.
You should see my cd collection, I get all the old classic albums, because 60+% of new music is rubbish.
My profile picture is to do with the caption contest, which is http://www.fightingrobots.co.uk/discus/messages/760/3563.html?1101498191http://www.fightingrobots.co.uk/disc...3.html?1101498 191
If you want to enter it.
Personally, I dont mind that the Darkness are too much like Queen, cos I like Queen as well so it all works out :). It may be true that they and many others cannot emulate the great successes of the oldies, but it is a welcome break from the recent run of manufactured pop.

Worst thing of manufactured pop...
I lost a bet that Girls Aloud wouldnt survive to the 2nd album.
Speaking of manufactured pop, I saw Heresay in McDonalds the other day. They got my order wrong though:lame:
For some reason I have Smoke on the Waters from Deep Purple in my head today. Cant get rid of it.
:crazy: Tan-tan-taan tan-tan-tadaan tan-tan-taan tan-tadaan... :crazy:
The worst manufactured band was one true voice how long did they last about 2 months,?
I think they were lucky to even last two months - after they were beaten by Girls Aloud, I think they tried to release another single then faded into obscurity. Sorta feel sorry for them in a way, winning the show, looking forward to fancy lifestyles them falling back to earth with a bump.

Tan-tan-taan tan-tan-tadaan tan-tan-taan tan-tadaan...
Is it just me that thinks Elisabeth has spent too much time on the beach today?
To much time on the beach today, its the middle of winter. I think shes just happy :)
Went to see the Darkness on Saturday, they were really good. I liked Ash just as much, but Do Me Bad Things were a bit too poncey for my liking. The singer who wasnt trying to be Freddy Mercury was better. Im going to see Franz Ferdinand sometime next month, too.
I like a mix between classical and modern rock. For example, the last two CDs I bought were Foo Fighters - The Colour and the Shape, and Pink Floyd - The Wall.
Lovin the graphics on your profile. Is it true that The Darkness played some of Bohemian Rhapsody on Saturday night cos they certainly didnt on Friday? :sad:
My latest mission
Get tickets for http://www.oasisinet.com/site.php?site=news&idx=520http://www.oasisinet.com/site.php?site=news&idx=520
It will be hard, but I will be online early to buy my tickets. Hopefully I will beat the crowd.
Its not true, apparently the set was the same both nights. And thank you :proud:
Im a fan of Interpol, Joy Division, The Pixies, The Hives, The Strokes, Foo Fighters, Incubus, King Crimson, Einstuerzende Neubauten & Dogs Die In Hot Cars.
The best gig Ive been to recently was a Red Jezebel one. They rock live.
I see Dogs Die In Hot Cars supporting Embrace in November.
They put on quite a good show. Probably one of the better support acts ive seen.
Embrace just did a secret gig in a cave in Cornwall 300m underground for 400 people. They played a set of 15 acoustic songs and covered the Echo and The Bunnymen song that had the cave on the cover.
Would have been i bit of a different gig to go to!
