"Bands you would of loved to of seen"

I was cycling through my extensive collection of mp3's and came across a few songs/bands that I hadn't heard in ages and it was great, only to be saddened by the fact that the band has now split up/ended career, I would of loved to see: -

Rage Against the Machine live, cause they're absolutely brilliant.

Well...?

And I ment both.

Saw them at the NEC with L7 supporting - was there a guy in a kilt just stood on stage all the way though L7's set when you saw them?

Saw FNM at the Wolverhampton Civic Hall, too, and it was the bestest concert evah!

Goddamn. I had tickets for this gig but had to sell them due to a uni exam on the following day. (grrrrrr, jealous)

I think he meant 'live'.

As you say this, I'm currently watching the Nevermind tour in Amsterdam.

Far would've been a great gig.

I've seen Will Haven. See em' supporting the Deftones a few years back. Very, very loud and bassy, but superb none-the-less.

When did they play ULU? I saw them at the Astoria and Kilburn National in '91. I thought they were fantastic. 'Drain You' live was something very special.

I strongly disagree. Teen spirit was one of their "Radio friendly" songs. They've done much, much better songs.

I saw Ian Brown at King Georges Hall, Blackburn.

A lot of it was excellent, but one of the songs, I forget which, was truly terrible. It was completely out of tune and basically sounded like someone throwing a cat at a baby.

I love the stone roses though. Saw a tribute band called the (wait for it) 'clone roses'.

It featured a vietnamese Ian Brown.

I'd love to have seen The Who, The Doors & Led Zeppelin.

Bands I have seen that ruled:
Rage Against The Machine - twice. Brixton Academy.
Whoever said they were supposed to be poor is mental, one of the best live bands I've ever seen. Dangerously violent atmosphere, especially when Zak tore into a security gaurd for punching a kid at the front, something along the lines of "There's 9 of you and 4000 of them, I don't rate your chances so ease up"

Faith No More - Brixton Academy. Fantastic. Patton is an insane frontperson, and L7 were entertaining enough support.

Clutch - numerous times, never disappoint.

Guns n Roses - Milton Keynes. Kept us waiting for almost 2 hours but still was an excellent hair-metal experience.

Ministry & NIN - Brixton Academy. Loudest gig ever, bar none.

Tool - Brixton & LA2. Awesome musicianship, superb show. Learned Bill Hicks had died at the LA2 show from Maynard telling the crowd between songs.

Nirvana - ULU. Was ok, never really got what the fuss was about to be honest, although Teen Spirit was excellent.

Christ...loads more but this is about fantasy gigs.

Worst gig I ever saw was The Stone Roses at the Gmex. Sloppy, messy gig and Brown bellowing like a wounded hippo.
