miserableoldgit Posted 20 February, 2009 Posted 20 February, 2009 May have already seen mine. Saw Bellowhead (all 11 of them!)at The Brook last night. Absolutely staggering! So much energy.
prideofthesouth Posted 20 February, 2009 Posted 20 February, 2009 Went to Warchild at Shepherds bush on wednesday it was pretty awesome.
pilsburydoughboy Posted 20 February, 2009 Posted 20 February, 2009 Gig of the year will be the Specials nothing else will come close
bpsaint Posted 20 February, 2009 Posted 20 February, 2009 Went to Warchild at Shepherds bush on wednesday it was pretty awesome. Likewise,was a pretty amazing gig. The encore was particularly special.
Rattlehead Posted 28 February, 2009 Posted 28 February, 2009 Megadeth and Testament were ace last weekend. Judas Priest were sh*t though.
Saintdelboy Posted 2 March, 2009 Posted 2 March, 2009 I think The Enemy @ Guildhall next month will be manic.
Ponty Posted 2 March, 2009 Posted 2 March, 2009 Metallica at Sheffield Arena on Saturday were pretty f**king special.
Michelle Posted 2 March, 2009 Posted 2 March, 2009 Oasis @ Heaton Park is going to be brilliant. Fact.
Junction 9 Posted 3 March, 2009 Posted 3 March, 2009 Saw Elbow at the BIC last night, brilliant. 9/10

Rattlehead Posted 8 March, 2009 Posted 8 March, 2009 Metallica were absolutely f * cking superb at the O2 on 2 March. Easily the best so far. They really are playing with a renewed and infectious energy and clearly loving their music - it's there for all to see. The new songs are going down great and they're also mixing up the old stuff and keeping everyone guessing on about half of the set I'd say. They played songs I never expected to hear again including Damage Inc (which nearly broke my neck), Holier Than Thou and Phantom Lord. Superb and I'm looking forward to seeing them again at the end of the month and in July (Madrid). Keeping my fingers crossed for Dyers Eve and Shortest Straw at at least one of those and I haven't heard Sanitarium live for years. Support for Metallica: Machine Head, who have been so good when I've seen them before suffered from really poor sound and were disappointing. The Sword, who I didn't know at all, were excellent and I will be buying their albums.
saint lard Posted 8 March, 2009 Posted 8 March, 2009 I'm looking forward to seeing Lenny Kravitz at the Guildhall in June.

From what my mate says Sword are a band that Lars really likes Edited 8 March, 2009 by saint_bert
Jillyanne Posted 8 March, 2009 Posted 8 March, 2009 Gig of the year will be the Specials nothing else will come close I think the MJ ticket sales will prove this theory wrong.
Rattlehead Posted 8 March, 2009 Posted 8 March, 2009 Do you know who the support is Jillstain? Is it Gary Glitter?
Jillyanne Posted 8 March, 2009 Posted 8 March, 2009 Do you know who the support is Jillstain? Is it Gary Glitter? Must you hang on and reply to every post of mine? Freak.
NY Saint Posted 8 March, 2009 Posted 8 March, 2009 Razorlight at Filmore NYC were great. Top shows in 08 were: Verve at MSG BRMC at Filmore Supergrass at Webster Hall
Ponty Posted 8 March, 2009 Posted 8 March, 2009 They played songs I never expected to hear again including Damage Inc (which nearly broke my neck), Holier Than Thou and Phantom Lord. Sounds like they swap the set around then because they played none of those at Sheffield in a 2 and a half hour set only 2 days earlier. They played Battery, Am I evil? and Sad But True, alongside the standards plus most of the new album. I loved the changeover from Nothing Else Matters to Sandman and the intro to One was flipping awesome.
keithd Posted 9 March, 2009 Posted 9 March, 2009 saw killers at 02. two things.... 1) my first gig at o2, i was pleasantly surprised. decent venue. 2) the killers were bloomin great
The Majestic Channon Posted 23 March, 2009 Posted 23 March, 2009 The Nutty boys are coming to romsey! http://www.madness.co.uk/gigs/gigs.html
Rattlehead Posted 26 March, 2009 Posted 26 March, 2009 Sounds like they swap the set around then because they played none of those at Sheffield in a 2 and a half hour set only 2 days earlier. They played Battery, Am I evil? and Sad But True, alongside the standards plus most of the new album. I loved the changeover from Nothing Else Matters to Sandman and the intro to One was flipping awesome. Having seen a few set lists, they are definitely mixing it up which is fantastic. Having said that I do wish they would drop Sandman, play less covers (I think they're playing at least a couple each night - they don't need to do this but they clearly enjoy it, so can't complain), maybe at least one less from the new album and plenty more stuff from Justice but this really is nit-picking though. Awesome awesome live band and cannot wait until Saturday. In case you don't already know (I think I saw somewhere you're going), there is no tube to the O2 on Saturday (well done London Underground, you c*cks). Check the website for alternatives.
alexpro7 Posted 28 March, 2009 Posted 28 March, 2009 Saw Metallica at NEC on Wednesday. Brilliant as always. 2 1/2 hours flew by. Have to say Machinehead are not my thing i thought they were terrible. Sound was poor and it sounded like they were all playing different things!
Rattlehead Posted 29 March, 2009 Posted 29 March, 2009 Metallica also brilliant again at the O2. Some real gems in the set this time, including The Outlaw Torn, Hit The Lights, Harvester Of Sorrow and AJFA. Was right at the front and now deaf with serious neck ache today. James Hetfield is the dog's doo daas. Machine Head sounded terrible again. Sword decent.
jeff leopard Posted 29 March, 2009 Posted 29 March, 2009 I went to a gig last night which wasn't the best of the year but its one i'll remember. I was comparing at this last night http://www.railwaylive.co.uk/mirrormanlineup.html Gary Numan at the railway inn! He was djing with his mate and they played a slightly above average goth set (loads of NIN, prodigy etc) which was fun for a while. Much much better were Scarlet Soho and Jayetal, both ruled with a glove of iron.

James Hetfield is the dog's doo daas. Machine Head sounded terrible again. Sword decent. I must have been right near you. Indeed they were awesome. Couldnt believe my luck when they played Harvester of Sorrow, my personal favourite tune. 11/10
Rattlehead Posted 30 March, 2009 Posted 30 March, 2009 Harvester is also one of my favourites. I think Justice might actually now be my favourite album (by any band). Either that or Puppets anyway. Also, Fight Fire With Fire was top notch. Can't wait to see them again in Madrid. Hoping the support is someone different though, maybe Down.
Ponty Posted 30 March, 2009 Posted 30 March, 2009 I was there Saturday and have to say that the Sheffield gig was far, far better. There's something about the lighting at the 02 that kills a bit of the atmosphere. I don't really want to see the oiks around me.
alexpro7 Posted 31 March, 2009 Posted 31 March, 2009 Metallica also brilliant again at the O2. Some real gems in the set this time, including The Outlaw Torn, Hit The Lights, Harvester Of Sorrow and AJFA. Was right at the front and now deaf with serious neck ache today. James Hetfield is the dog's doo daas. Machine Head sounded terrible again. Sword decent. Looks like they are swapping the set list every night. We did not get Harvester or Hit the lights or AJFA. Had Creeping death, Blackened, Ride the Lightning.
saint_bert Posted 31 March, 2009 Posted 31 March, 2009 Looks like they are swapping the set list every night. We did not get Harvester or Hit the lights or AJFA. Had Creeping death, Blackened, Ride the Lightning. Would be happy with any of them tbh
Smirking_Saint Posted 6 April, 2009 Posted 6 April, 2009 I really want to see metallica again, but none of my mates like 'em, personally the best gig i have ever been to was metallica at the St Anger tour ages ago at the other arena in London (can't remember the bloody name) not wembley. Can't wait for enemy this thurs it's gonna be awesome !! Saw them before supporting Stereophonics (who also never fail to disapoint)
jawillwill Posted 6 April, 2009 Posted 6 April, 2009 Ryan has been immense this seasons considering his age.
the stain Posted 7 April, 2009 Posted 7 April, 2009 Say it ain't so... *ahem* http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=11476
Rattlehead Posted 19 April, 2009 Posted 19 April, 2009 AC/DC superb at the O2. Thought The Answer were a bit cr*p though. AC/DC truly excellent though and played most of the old classics (and a couple too many new tunes, which were only ok). Definitely prefer the 'in the round' set up (a la Metallica @ O2) to the conventional one for the AC/DC gig though.
Sheaf Saint Posted 20 April, 2009 Posted 20 April, 2009 Went to see The Prodigy at Sheffield Arena last week - Truly awesome show. I got a bit bruised down at the front though. Good to hear them do a few oldies from the Experience album as well as the new stuff.
Sheaf Saint Posted 24 April, 2009 Posted 24 April, 2009 Have just booked tickets to see Massive Attack at the 02 Academy in Sheffield in September. Been meaning to see them live for at least 10 years, so can't wait for that.
bungle Posted 31 July, 2009 Posted 31 July, 2009 Gig of the year will be the Specials nothing else will come close Got tickets for Plymouth in November. It better be good!
Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd Posted 31 July, 2009 Posted 31 July, 2009 Elbow & The Halle Orchestra at the Bridgewater Hall in Manchester earlier this month.... Very special indeed.
saint lard Posted 31 July, 2009 Posted 31 July, 2009 (edited) Can't wait to see Joe Bonamassa at the guildhall in December.This man is a fecking great guitarist.... .. and knows how to play the blues. Checkout the solo from about 4 mins in..... Edited 31 July, 2009 by saint lard
pilsburydoughboy Posted 31 July, 2009 Posted 31 July, 2009 I think the MJ ticket sales will prove this theory wrong. Oh Dear.
pilsburydoughboy Posted 31 July, 2009 Posted 31 July, 2009 Got tickets for Plymouth in November. It better be good! You will not be disapointed
graveworm Posted 19 August, 2009 Posted 19 August, 2009 Megadeth and Testament were ace last weekend. Judas Priest were sh*t though. Yep I would agree with that...................very disappointed with the Priest selection......still the beer was good !!!!!!!!!!!!! Testament were my favs on the night
graveworm Posted 19 August, 2009 Posted 19 August, 2009 Picked up the tickets for Porcupine Tree in October Brilliant group
Smirking_Saint Posted 19 August, 2009 Posted 19 August, 2009 Enemy were quality this year, proper stadium band, nothing special but after a few beers they can get the place rocking. Also seeing Weller soon (absolute god of Mod) and also cannot wait for a bit of frankie boyle (though thats next f'n year) And i expect the phonics will release more tour dates soon
RedAndWhite91 Posted 19 August, 2009 Posted 19 August, 2009 C*ckney Rejects in December!!!! :D Guess I'm the only person here that likes them
Rory Posted 20 August, 2009 Posted 20 August, 2009 future of the left are my favourite so far. A while to go yet tho peeps.
SuperMikey Posted 20 August, 2009 Posted 20 August, 2009 The Cribs in October is going to be pretty immense. Haven't seen them with Marr in the band before, so ought to be good. Would've liked to have seen Jamie T and Los Campesinos! who are also playing in So'ton in October but both have sold out....bollix.
