Limp Bizkit were incredible on Saturday at the Hydro the place was bouncing

 

Was there as well, unfortunately in the * seats.

But the energy was insane, the floor was bouncing and the pits looked incredible.
The music form LB was superb.

But the less said about the "host" and most of the support, the better
Ecca vandal impressed me, the test was terrible.

Booked tickets to see Babymetal at The O2 in May.

 

Yeah the energy was incredible mate!!

I got tickets in that seating section right on the floor so got a great view. I was down for the Hibs game and had booked the hotel and everything based on them playing the game on the Saturday but then they changed it to Sunday obviously so I looked up what else was on for the Saturday so it worked out really well.

I only went in at 8:45 because usually the main band comes on at 9 so only caught the last support but didn’t like them at all, just not my thing. I spoke to a guy at the hotel on Sunday and he said the exact same as you that Ecca was the only decent one. Couldn’t believe LB only came on at 9:45, that’s the only thing that let it down was the length of the set was just a bit short at 1hr 15 but they were incredible

The host was a pain in the * mate, i know that’s part of the act to drag it out a bit but it felt like there was genuinely an issue causing a delay with how long he went on for.

LB really exceeded my expectations though, I thought they would be good but they blew me away tbh.

 

Going to see Vera: End of an era at o2 city hall Newcastle then on Saturday going to Stiff Little Fingers then 26 June seeing the Drifters

 

Most I’ve been to was 136 in one year and about 90 of them was in London, mostly metal gigs. That was about 28 years ago.
Favourite gig though was Wacken festival in 2013

 

Favourite 5 gigs in order

1) Wacken festival 2013
2) The Jam final Glasgow Apollo gig 1982
3) Guns n Roses Wembley 1992
4) The Style Council last ever Glasgow Apollo gig before it closed Sunday June 16 1985
5) Within Temptation Leyden Holland 2009

close to list is Madness at Glasgow Apollo 1980 or 1981.
Place was bouncing literally as dust was falling onto crowd from roof and upper circle

 

Going to see Negative Approach tonight, HC legends.
Was going to do the Circle Jerks/Descendents/ Negative Approach in Glasgow but can't be arsed travelling for gigs now.

 

Stereophonics at Bellahouston.....Never been there.

 

Best gig ever for me n the missus was the Eagles live in France totally stunning and what a sound. Seen a lot more bands since then but nothing comes close

 

Went to France twice for gigs.
Manic Street Preachers in Paris Elysee Montmarte in late 1990s and Joan Baez
late 2020’s at same venue I think

 

Next year we are going to Japanese MotoGp but will look for some Metal gigs to go to while we’re there.

 

Best gig I've been to was Tom Waits at the Playhouse in 2008. Felt like a once in a lifetime back then and probably will remain that way. I think he'd played one gig in the UK for 20 years before it and he hasn't been back since.

2nd probably Springsteen at Stadium of Light in 2012 (I think). We snuck into the VIP inner circle bit.

3rd front row Elton John at his farewell tour at the hydro. That felt special and was a really big deal for my dad.

Special festival memory was Gig on the Green in 2001. Headliners were Marilyn Manson, Enimen and Queens of the Stone Age. An absolute riot (almost literally). Lost a shoe and got kicked in the head. Guy crowd surfed with his wheelchair - not sure if it was voluntary or not. Simpler times...

 

I’ve ticked a few off the list in the last 2 years.

Fallout Boy
Green Day
Sum 41
Blink 182
Bowling for Soup
Wheatus.
Oasis/Richard Ashcroft in July
AC/DC in August
The Offspring in November.

Some others I’d like to tick off

My Chemical Romance
Good Charlotte
Imagine Dragons
Weezer
Train
Red Hot Chilli Peppers
Slipknot
Metallica

 

Just bought ticket for Pet Shop Boys concert in Norfolk, not really arsed about them BUT The Scissor Sisters have come back together and will be supporting them, can't wait as I didn't see them first time around

 

Going to see The Zutons on Friday night.

 

Ended up getting tickets to the London gig. They were brilliant, played all the bangers.
