HateEvent Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 The Fastfest Toms gig was ace fun. Most fun gig I've played at this year aswell!Dimmu/Lamb Of God wasn't bad in February though Dimmu got cut short with technical problems and weren't AS good as in October 2007.Metallica in March was pretty awesome.Cannibal Corpse on Halloween was ace fun aswell, especially the party violence that ensued after!

TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Seeing Neil Young and the Boss again were pretty special. Probably the most enjoyable evening was Kartta's last gig though, fun times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorge Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 I didn't get to terribly many, The Ergon Carousel at Snafu were probably the best band I saw live this year, just full on woof. Honourable mentions for Ablach, who never had a stinker whenever I saw them, X-Certs when supporting My Vitriol (had never seen them before, really solid band, should probably get hold of the album now I think about it), Uncalm's blinder at Drummonds on the METULZ NITE, and the TTNG/YAS at Snafu, for some top drawer heckling.Think that covers it.

Mora-Treat-Guru Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 A few memorable ones...Bo Ningen @ TunnelsEvil Moisture in Berlin Tut Vu Vu/Tom the Noisemonger @ Halloween Matricarian Cult of Bavlack/Prof Lofi @ KilauThere are probably more, but it's been a zonked year. Hopefully get out of town a bit more next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphas Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Didn't get to too many gigs this year but Blur at T in the Park was my highlight. Mainly due to them being a band I enjoyed when I was growing up and I had forgotten how good songs like The Universal were. Didn't play Jubilee though, the little oiks.Other mentions were Radiohead and Florence and the Machine at Leeds. Radiohead played a set that wouldn't have won them many new fans but I'm always going to enjoy their gigs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeanette Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 I'm just not sure...

Alphas Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 One I forgot about in terms of a local night was back in the summer. Ded Rabbit, Okker (I think), The Fire and I and Stanley at Drummonds. Very good turn out and all the bands were excellent. Ded Rabbit I found very catchy and entertaining and Okker were interesting with their song structures. Stanley clearly put a lot of thought and time into their songs and it shows but The Fire and I are just superb. It is hard to believe there is only two of them playing, what a noise they make! I had played a gig with them a few months beforehand and had gone to watch them again but glad I got a chance to watch the other bands as well.

Alphas Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 I thought they were pretty good. Played with them at The Moorings a few months after and enjoyed them again. Horses for courses I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monster Zero Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 Depeche Mode on Saturday at SECC was amazing.I was there, while it was pretty enjoyable, I was more excited when I discovered Soulsavers was the support and almost spaffed when Mark Lanegan was there on vocal duties, I had decided to not build up my hopes that he would be after seeing Death in Vegas live a couple of times minus vocalists. Soulsavers were great. Some twat behind me opined afterwards that they were like 'Crazy Horse minus the depth added by Neil Young', which is just wrong on so many levels, fair enough if you didn't enjoy them but at least try to conjure up a criticism that at least has a go at foreplay with logic.My favourites this year are definitely Neil Young at the AECC and Roky Erickson at the HMV Forum in London.Haven't actually been to a huge amount of gigs this year compared to years gone by...

Old Gold Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 I've been a mighty shut in this year. Ry Cooder, Balmorhea, Nightmare of You/Jukebox the Ghost and The Kilau noise night were all extremely good though.Despite the great supports, Joan of Arc was my biggest disappointment.
