FabSwingers.com forum: Bands you wanna see

Or wished you had the opportunity to see.

I know I've been terribly guilty of this line "there'll be another chance" when not finding the funds or time to see bands I wished I had.

Foo Fighters are a huge one I could absolutely kick myself for.

I'd have loved to have heard Karen Carpenter sing.

Kate Bush is on my list to make the effort if the chance ever arises.

Taylor Hawkins death rammed it home to me to take the opportunities, find the funds, find the time. Make the effort.

I'm heading to Download next year and I don't doubt there will be plenty there to be able to say "yes, I did it"

We never know what the future holds eh.

I've always dreamed of seeing Rage Against The Machine since I was in high school. I was always too young and lived too far away from any of their last gigs in the UK.

Finally though, they are playing in Edinburgh this coming August and I genuinely almost shit with excitement! Sold my Green Day tickets immediately to fund RATM tickets and I'm not sad about it!

Here occasionally, but mostly somewhere else

I saw just about everyone I could have as soon as I could.

Yes, I'd have liked to see Queen, Zeppelin, original AC/DC, but it was never a possibility.

The one band I haven't seen and considered for a bit was Kiss. But there were practical issues, as well as really expensive tickets, so I haven't. As it stands, I've seen everyone I would ever REALLY want to.

Kate Bush is awesome. Loved her since I was little.

It's gutting ain't it. Like, I'm glad I've got your music to listen to, but fuck I'm devastated you're no longer around to make more. Then I feel guilty for being devastated, coz they're probably happier dead than alive.

My main "I wish I could have seen" band was Queen. My mum saw them at Wembley and I will never get over my jealousy. I would also love to see Stone Roses with my dad.

Bands I'd like to see and still could are Bring Me the Horizon, Bullet for my Valentine, Slipknot, and I really want to see Skindred again after seeing them at Download this year.

OP U really want to go to Download next year too. Its the 20th anniversary and the extra day of music is exciting enough. Can't wait to see what else they announce!

She's simply wonderful ain't she.

The Killers are totally on my hit list, manics tho, nah, I dunno what it is but I've never really found anything about them enjoyable. Yes I know plenty of songs and can sing along to them but there's just something about them that's off for me.

You watch, in 20 years time I'll be saying, I wish I'd seen them

I only know a few Black Crowes songs (I think - might know more if I heard them just not realised it)

Every penny I can spare for the next 12 months is my download fund, I gotta get everything so I'm gonna be even more of a broke ass bitch than I usually am, and I'm usually really fucking broke

I'm making it my mission to do at least one gig a year.

I had the opportunity to watch Van Halen live, had the ticket and everything.. but it clashed with the first day of Army basic training so I obviously did that instead, fully intending to see them next time….

Only they very rarely toured the U.K. and certainly not with Sammy Hagar singing… I never got the opportunity again

Its working out about the same to take my daughter to Bulgaria to see Maiden this year compared to Download. Especially as she hates camping so I couldn't drink and would have to drive each day.

There were only a handful of bands we both wanted to see on this year's lineup.

We had to leave live8 early and missed Pink Floyd.

Turned down tickets to Queen “because Knebworth sounded too far to go” but we did see Prince’s last uk gig at the end of his 21date O2 show… he invited the 1st 2000 back to a private after party gig next door at Indigo … but we had a baby sitter so had to miss that one

Would still love to see Kate Bush, the Stones, Radiohead, Richard Ashcroft and Rebecca Ferguson (yeah you read that right!

Brand New. They disbanded about 3 years ago as the lead singer was caught up in the whole me too scandal. I was so gutted!

Oh and also Sabaton. They are still going but they are reasonably big so they only tend to play big arenas

Foo fighters! I'm with you on that one op. Was meant to be going next week to see them. I'm still reeling over it.

I'm feeling slightly better that I got tickets to the Taylor Hawkins tribute though so I'm looking forward to that. Doesn't really make up for it but such is life.

"Brand New. They disbanded about 3 years ago as the lead singer was caught up in the whole me too scandal. I was so gutted!

Oh and also Sabaton. They are still going but they are reasonably big so they only tend to play big arenas "

I wish I'd seen Gary Moore and Joe Cocker. Queen would have been great but unrealistic given my age when they last performed with Freddie, which is not the case with the first two I mentioned.

I wish I had seen The Blessing, but unfortunately they absolutely bombed despite being one of my favourite bands ever.

I would like to see Elton John again but the London gig is sold out now and he probably won't do any more. I'd like to see Eric Clapton again before he stops performing.

I'd like to have seen Iron Butterfly but I didn't know they existed at the time of their last concert.

I'm pleased to say I got to see my favourite band Huey Lewis & The News seven times, though sadly missed their last London concert in 2013. They are unlikely to perform again as Huey lost his hearing a few years ago. Luke

And Stone Temple Pilots when they first played the UK.

Acid Bath and Rush are two bands I'd loved to have seen but sadly never will.

Been lucky enough to see the other two bands a few time, but Sublime still hurts. Bradley died in 96 when I was 13 and before I'd even got into then which followed a couple of years later. I saw sublime with Rome about 10 years ago, but absolutely not the same

Saw lots of bands during 80s and early 90s however few I missed

Queen with Freddie wouldn’t want to see them without him

Black Sabbath saw Ozzy on his own few times

Wasn’t old enough but two others would love to of seen Jimi Hendrix and Marc Bolan

Seen a fantastic Trex tribute band though.

Problem is these days you may need to take binoculars to actual SEE the bands because of the crazy stadium size gigs.

Last night I watched on YouTube Pink Floyd at Earls Coat in 1994..Pulse tour. The "show" with lights etc and sound was incredible.. But..... They had two drummers, two guitarists, two keyboard players and three girl singers and more lights than Blackpool illuminations. It was for me much too polished.

I saw the 4pce Pink Floyd in 1970 in much smaller hall with just a oil and water slides light show and at a time when the sounds they were creating were so different I just hadn't heard anything like it before...give me the "Careful with that Axe Eugene" days anytime.

I saw ACDC very first UK performance in a pub in London.. The "schoolboy" was a huge talking point in the audience. Read about them in Melody Maker so we went along. They were good but I never expected them to be as big as they became

I'm incredibly thankful that I saw Meat Loaf 3 times (2nd time was Wembley when he collapsed and 3rd was the replacement gig so they only really count as one combined)"

Well I am beyond jealous. The last time he played here clashed with a wedding I had to attend. It was the world's worst wedding, always raging I missed him

I know I've been terribly guilty of this line "there'll be another chance" when not finding the funds or time to see bands I wished I had.

Foo Fighters are a huge one I could absolutely kick myself for.

I'd have loved to have heard Karen Carpenter sing.

Kate Bush is on my list to make the effort if the chance ever arises.

Taylor Hawkins death rammed it home to me to take the opportunities, find the funds, find the time. Make the effort.

I'm heading to Download next year and I don't doubt there will be plenty there to be able to say "yes, I did it"

Off to see Saxon in November. Most bands now that i want to see tickets are seriously expensive.

Last time i saw Iron Maiden not at a festival my ticket worked out at 120 quid mark plus the journey and parking and the rip off price of a beer at the venue and crap food vendours think it worked out that i had a 200 quid day.

Maiden where fantastic btw.

But 200 quid i could at the time fly and stay in bucharest with my other half we did that the week after for 180 quid.

Would love to see Floyd wont happen though.
