Soda Jerk Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 OzmaAnd I wish I liked Guided By Voices when I saw them. I thought they were alright, but I think I was about 14, and listened exclusively to Pop Punk from California.Oh, and Bob Mould. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemonade Posted November 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 Slingshot DakotaBeau NavireRetoxBad Religion (with Brett)RancidBuilt To SpillAmpere was on this list until I just recently saw them at Fest. Properly unbelievable.I saw Rancid at Leeds one year, around 2000ish, me and my mate had spent the day just sitting on the hill in front of the main stage watching the bands and drinking beers, we said whoever the next band is we're going to go down the front and jump about a bit. So we did and out came Rancid, neither of us had ever heard them before and didn't know what to expect, it was absolute mayhem! Huge mosh pits and circle pits, bodies flying everywhere, sky full of bottles, I got the absolute shit leathered out of me. Still one of my all time best gig experiences, and undoubtedly the most painful I bought And Out Come The Wolves as soon as I got home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awful. Also, in one of the worst decisions I've ever made in my entire life, at Reading 2000 Elliott Smith played in one of the tents. At the time I was about 200 metres away at the main stage watching fucking Slipknot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 I saw Weezer at Leeds Fest in 2002. It was a greatest hits set from Blue, Pinkerton and the singles from Green/Maladroit. I spent the whole set of the White Stripes ploughing my way to the front, and then pogoed my head off when I got there. Yeah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monster Zero Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 I've been kind of lucky and managed to see a lot of bands I would most want to see (Godspeed! You Black Emperor, Mogwai, Nick Cave, U2, Low, Handsome Family), with Tom Waits and Roky Erickson being particular high-points of recent years.Currently my wish list is -Dirty ThreeEarthThe Rolling Stones (been reading Keef's autobiography and it has made me want to go see them before they call it a day but not sure that is going to ever be an option now, 50 year anniversary next year but jagger has been denying anything will happen. Can imagine it would cost a small fortune as well).Managing to knock Clutch off the list in January assuming it goes ahead. In support to Thin Lizzy however which isn't ideal but hey ho.

Diesel Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 I've been fortunate enough to have seen most of the bands I've wanted to see apart from Led Zep, Sabbath, Sensational Alex Harvey Band (with Alex himself, though I've seen them twice with Max Maxwell on vox) and The Who.Joe BonamassaTom PettyRobin Trower (tone meister!)
