View Full Version : best band never
What's the best band/musician you never got a chance to see? I missed out on seeing Jimi Hendrix (sob). Also had tickets to see Stevie Ray Vaughan, but he snuffed it too.

When I was 15 or 16 I won 2 tickets to see the Who at the Saville Theatre in the West End ,the support band was Jimi Hendrix on his 1st uk appearance ,he blew the audience away and when the Who came on after a couple of numbers the audience was chanting" bring back Jimi".

Would liked to have seen Queen live, but I was only 10-12 in their hayday in the mid-80's before Freddies illness took its toll.
Probably the best live band ever I should think.

I saw Metallica at the Milton Keynes bowl and I have to say they rocked. Back in about 91-92.

The Stone Roses.
Never seen Metallica, always wanted to.
Saw the last ever rage gig, and they were awesome, totally amazing, love to know which idiot at reading put them on in the dead aftrenoon, and let the Stereophonics headline!
Johnny, does your sister still have those tickets, I'm told they are worth an absolute fortune now!!

The Original FleetwoodMac line up.

Thank god it didn't make the hair on the front of your face stand up /forum/images/icons/smile.gif /forum/images/icons/smile.gif
Best bands I've seen are the Stone Roses, Happy Mondays, Charlatans, and Oasis (early years).
Would love to see Primal Scream one day, passed their best though
Deep Purple original line-up, and Queen.

Agreed Neil, Peter Green and the Splinter group, absolutely stunning, especially the acoustic RJ numbers.

I havent got a clue if she has still got them!
i dont know if she would sell them. She isnt really into the music anymore.
G...when and where you see PanterA and what do you think of Machine Head? (esp: older stuff!!)
cheers, JC
G, am hanging my head in shame, really hacked I've never seen them!
That said, I am a fan of the newer stuff, bit of bluessiness can't hurt anyone!
Saw Megadeth at a tour warm up a while back, just 1000 people, awesome!!!!!

In my college days I was Metallica mad! All the stuff up to and including the black album, pukka. Master of Puppets all time classic album. Then I went to Uni and turned into a house head!
Done a gig with Megadeth and a few lesser bands like Skidrow at the bowl about 92-93 time, superb, 60,000 people and right down the front. My mate caught Lars Ulrich's drum stick when he chucked it!!!
Wouldn't be seen dead nowadays in tight black jeans and a black t-shirt with a mop of a barnet! lol
