Rock-wise, I've seen Metallica, Bon Jovi, Faith no More and Thunder

 

But the one I'm gutted about......I had a ticket to see Queen at Knebworth back in '86 (IIRC), but that very day I flew back from a holiday in Ibiza and my flight was delayed :mad: :mad: I landed at Gatwick an hour after the concert started and missed it.

 

A never to be repeated experience :cry:

 

Richard :(

Probably enough nostalgia for now hehehe you just can't beat a good ol' 12 incher. :duffer:

Gio - my "musical taste" in my youth was Punk Rock orientated. Now I'll listen to most things from Simon and Garfunkel, Dido, Korn and a hundred others and also and undeniably the greateat band of all time THE RAMONES!!!!!!

1980 - The Nolans (really! I was only 8)

1988 - Jean Michel Jarre @ London Docklands

you just can't beat a good ol' 12 incher.

 

Yikes.. More like something I'd expect Andy to say :rofl:

 

As for gigs.. none.. zip.. nada.. unless going to see some Black Sabbath tribute band at Fibbers nightclub in York counts? :rofl: We left as my mate (who was more into music than me at the time*) thought it was too loud..

 

And we were with our mums :nelson:

 

I've led such a sheltered life..

 

*No idea if he's still more into music than me.. but I'm currently working my way through 3.9days worth of music in my iTunes folder.. all legally bought, of course. cough. ahem. :nelson:

Have got the DVD but by the time I got back to the UK (I was living in Malta at the time) they had headed off to the US of A and pressed the self destruct button.

 

They only ever produced 4 decent singles and 1 album though and Never Mind The *****cks is right up there as a classic. Still got my original Compact Cassette copy that I bought in Malta.

 

Also John Peel :bow: (God rest his soul) was an absolute hero, not just to Punk artists, but many hundreds of others too, and his show on BFBS was awesome!!!!

I've seen the monkees (well two of them) is that any good?

Blimey, I've seen hundreds of bands, big overlap with Gio's (notably Larry Miller - virtually no one else seems to have ever seen him) and most of the big rock bands over the past 20 odd years, starting with Samson, Saxon, Iron Maiden etc and moving forward from there. Must have seen Hawkwind 20 times as well. I actually have a gig list of all the ones I ever went to and it stretches to 2 school exercise books !
