What musical group (or person) do you want to see play live?

Billions of them.

The Beatles (we'll have to bring back John Lennon & George Harrison), The Beach Boys (revive Dennis Wilson), The Eurythmics, Charlotte Church, k.d.lang.

When they were still together, I had many opportunities to see the Statler Brothers play in their hometown in Staunton, VA, just across the mountain from where I live every 4th of July. But I never did go.

I'm going to see them next Wednesday evening as part of an end-of-term treat That means I will have seen them 5 times.

Wait, can anyone else even open that? Or do they have to be on the uni network?

I'm listening to Tangerine Dream right now, and I wouldn't mind seeing them live. They've played here before and some of my friends saw them, but I missed it. I had a ticket to see them two years ago, but the tour got canceled due to a certain political situation that happened here in North America.

BTW, thanks for the link!

It opened for me!

I'm pretty sure I'm not on the uni network...

We've seen Kiss in concert 5 times. But I'd still like to see them again, but in the first row.
Same with Bon Jovi.

Dead: I'd like to see Elvis.

To date my absolute favourite musicians (and show) that I've seen was the Cure for the Bloodflowers tour in 200 in West Palm Beach, I drove 4 hrs to see them play at an outdoor ampitheater. They played approximately a 3 hour set. It was awesome.

I would like to see (or have) seen Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Cream, Lennon, Tom Petty. Marilyn Manson, and NIN would be cool to see as well.

AC/DC

Soul Coughing, Bjork, Kate Bush, Led Zeppelin,

I saw Tangerine Dream once (10 years ago?)... It was a couple guys surrounded by equipment (computers and keyboards mostly). Not much of a show, per se, but the music was good.

Theres a lot of them I'd like to see but probably won't because I'm just not that much into music. I like to listen to it but It's not a big deal to me.

Yeah, that's what their shows generally look like (and have for more than 30 years!) although I think they usually have some sort of elaborate light show; lasers and such...

They are the only band I'm aware of, that has become kind of "the family business". Edgar Froese is the only member who has been with them since inception (1967). His wife Monique Froese has been doing all the album covers since the first release. His son Jerome Froese began working with the band in 1987.

Ever seen an Elvis impersonator? You can always do that--it's the next best thing.

CRADLE OF FILTH!!!

Dec 19, Friday, 2003. I am seeing them.

Anyway, beside my most favourite band ever with the most sexiest singer ever, there are several other stuff I would really want to see. For one it's David Bowie. He's in Toronto on Dec 12, but since I'm going to Cradle of Filth, I won't be able to afford $60 for Bowie. Other stuff are Anathema, Bauhaus, Burzum (when he gets out of the prison, that is... if he), Dead Can Dance, Finntroll, HIM, Iron Maiden, Marylin Manson (but it's going to be crass, because of all those 'Spooky Kids'), Ozzy Osbourne, My Ruin, Nosferatu, Rasputina, Sisters of Mercy, The Cure, The Smiths, Therion, and Theatre of Tragedy.

I am looking forward to seeing David Bowie early in December.

The Eagles, Kid Rock, Cher, Eminem, ZZ Top, Randy Travis, and a ton of others. As you can probably tell, my tastes in music vary BIG time.

I like Randy Travis, too. Also Alan Jackson and George Strait. They're my top three favorites of the male country stars.

Alan Jackson and George Strait are both pretty good. Out of those two, George Strait is probably my favorite.

I'd be scared if you were. You could actually be one of my scary lecturers just pretending to be Canadian and far away!

I like many types of music, too. The only ones I don't care about are rap and heavy metal. In rap, it's really no music to it at all--just talking to the beat of drums. I like something with a melody. And heavy metal is just too "cutting edge" for me, and I don't like its rather violent nature.

You say that your musical interests vary, too. I guess that makes you an Elvis fan as well, right?

Yeah, I've seen Elvis impersonators, my step-dad even does it. I just don't think it's the same.

The Pogues
Bright Eyes
Whiskeytown

and lots of others...like dunno..The Clash...

Of the big name bands, the one that I'd most like to see again is U2 - I saw them live in London a couple of years ago, and it was probably the best gig I've ever been to. If I could bring back an artist from the dead, then it would be Rich Mullins. I'd like to have seen Pink Floyd in their prime, but I'm not sure that I'd want to see them now. There are loads of other bands that I wish I'd seen as a teenager, like Blondie, The Buzzcocks, The Sex Pistols and The Undertones, but I'm not sure I'd like to see them play on a comeback tour - it would spoil it, I think. Having said that, The Buzzcocks are playing here next week - I might just go along.

Actually, there is a lot of types of metal, if you care to explore them. What you're talking about is the raw black metal, which most people don't like at all. There is doom metal, which doesn't sound like metal at all, but more as a new-age, relaxing kind of rock that will have growling vocals from time to time. There are also highly melodic types of metal, such as progressive metal (Dream Theater) or opera metal (Therion).

Metal does not have to be violent, it's just a stereotype. While there are highly gory, screming-and-suffering filled types of metal, such as Death Metal (personally favourite), you can always find something you'll like.

What kind of music does the Clash play?

Kate Bush but she's not done so since 1979 and vowed to never tour again.

None right now.
They used to play punk rock in the 1970's-1980's with a bit of reggae and ska influences. Actually they are the most famous original punk band along with Sex Pistols and the Adverts (which I like a lot as well).

I've never really listened to Elvis. When I have heard it, I've never paid much attention to it. I might have to go buy some Elvis music and check it out.

You have any songs by them to reccomend me?

London Calling
London's Burning
White Man In Hammersmith Palais
Should I Stay Or Should I Go (you might know that one, it's pretty famous...)
Rudie Can't Fail...
English Civil War...


what about checking:

Do you like Christian Death?

Buy his "2nd to None" CD--it has lots of his big hits.

Anyhow, have you played the Lyric Game, yet? It's a really neat survey that was just submitted and it's a lot of fun!

I just started downloading those songs.

Yes, I like Christian Death, but I absolutely forgot that they exist. I listened to them last year more than I do now.

I would've liked to have seen Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan perform; I had a chance once and missed him. He's been dead for a few years now.

me too!!

Insane Clown Posse, Twiztid, Kottonmouth Kings, Dark Lotus....any of the Psychopathic group!

Silverchair, I missed them last time as they were 300 miles away and I had exams at the time. Come back to England!

Marilyn Manson
Trent Reznor
The Cure
Gary Numan

Stevie Ray Vaughan Glad I got to see his 2nd to last concert. Man that guy could play guitar.

REO Speedwagon, Shadowfax, Bobby Short

I want to see Simon and Garfunkel. They are only doing something like 40 shows, and I missed their Atlantic City show on Saturday night because it was sold out!

Van Halen, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Beatles, Stones, Doobie Brothers

I used to see REO Speedwagon all the time back in the old days when they just played small gigs in Chicago.

I saw the Eagles in concert for their very first playing of their "new" song "Hotel California". years ago, obviously.

Let me know when you go see almost any of them, don't care for Fiona Apple, and the only one out of the grouping of four, I recognize the Genitortures, not the other 3 though. I'll meet you there with the others

Better Than Ezra - Christmas show 12/19-20/03
Matchbox 20
No Doubt
Nickelback
Vertical Horizon

Why did you opt for anonymous? I'm so confused. Also I thought Sean Paul and P Diddy were one in the same. I could be wrong considering I don't follow rap, and R&B

Well I am not a fan of concerts. Some people have great voices but when they are in concert they sound so much differnt that i don't like it. Plus i get headaches easy, and I don't want a headache. I've been to A concert. A WEIRD AL concert of summer 2003 and it was wicked awesome! If there was any concert I'd go to again, it'd be that! and avoiding bands, I want to see CATS life. I'm adding that to my thingy...................

Anita Baker or Clark Sisters

I just saw Marilyn Manson the other week. Why are these guys called 'shock rockers'??
Do they think they can shock (or even impress) people from Amsterdam with drugs and sex???
To us the MM show was very innocent and a bit childish. Like little kids who want to shock their parents by saying fudge.

hehehe, fudge
"Mom, pass the fudging salt."
"Marky! Go to your room!!"

BNL or Marcy Playground or many dead people and bands

Lynyrd Skynyrd Band---wish I had been older to have seen them. FREEBIRD9

I saw them.

Really, Jeez what a lucky one you are. We seem to have a lot in common both of us being Libra's and all. I am really amazed that you were able to pick up on that because of my posts.

I only thought that because of one post

The Doors, or Hendrix, or Joplin, or Billie Holiday, or man I can think of a million
