My Chemical Romance, with Mindless Self Indulgence supporting.
MSI were much better than I thought they would be (I'd only listened to three of their songs before though so it wasn't a really fair judgement), and they were very funny. MCR were fabulous! Gerard Way kept coming over to the side of stage nearest us (we were halfway up the block right next to the stage, so we were pretty close) and I swear he was looking right at us at one point ... It was absolutely roasting where we were, so I was pretty glad we didn't end up standing. People were getting pulled out of the pit during MSI's performance because they were fainting, and then there was just a constant stream of them being taken out about halfway through MCR's performance. At the end Gerard's wife was waiting to give him a big hug, which made me smile.  Loved it! This post has been edited by sweetbutinsane: Nov 12 2007, 07:42 PM |

I forgot about this thread.
Foo Fighters in Cardiff on the 14th. Bloody bleedin' amazing. They've really upped their live game, I had such a brilliant time. The extra members they're touring with at the moment really add another level to the lighter acoustic songs. The set was nice and long and had a few obscure songs in there which I've never heard them perform before. And the going off and coming back on for the encore bit was great, videoing themselves backstage and seeing how loud we'd cheer for one extra song (loud), two (very loud) and then three (possibly the loudest thing I've ever heard). When it comes out on DVD I'm buying it. |

Black Mountain at the Rescue Rooms last night. They were fantastic, it's just a shame more people weren't there to see them.

Got back from seeing Madness in the Cardiff Internationa Arena (not as fancy as it sounds) a few hours ago. An excellent gig and the new material was suprisingly strong although I must admit I was most animated during the classic tunage. It was quality when they re-enacted the flying around saxphone player bit from the Baggy Trousers video live on stage.
The cover of I Chase the Devil was another highlight, didn't know they'd done that. I might have to get a copy of The Dangermen Sessions now. All in all, a worthwhile night out. I'm glad I finally got around to going. |

The Good Life, absolutely fantastic. I met Tim Kasher the frontman, he's so lovely. He started talking to my friend (who he knows) about Japanese literature. After the gig he even remembered my name. The set was great and even though i travelled to Liverpool with someone I didn't know that well, it was worth it.

The Mars Volta were really quite wonderful. It's a shame I won't be able to hear for a week, though...
Sure, they started a bit late, and played no encore, but they also didn't stop for an intermission. It was nearly three hours of non-stop, hard-driving, energetic, all-out rock. You never even had a moment to catch your breath. Highly recommended. |

Dreaming my life... Group: Senior Members Posts: 3,593 Joined: 3-October 04 From: Lots of different places. Member No.: 2,336 |
I was out in Camden last night with a friend from up north. We went to the Purple Turtle ... which wouldn't usually be my scene, but I really enjoyed the couple of heavy rock bands we saw, whose names I can't remember. ...and it made me realise: It must've been about 6 months now since I last went to a gig.
...I should get out more. This post has been edited by Jon 79: Jan 20 2008, 09:27 PM |

KoRn last month. 3rd time seeing them and they were brilliant. Obviously missing band members since the first time I saw them, but God they know how to get the crown going!!
