MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
from the prince thread..
what bands/artist still around, and still alive and possibly gigging, would you queue to see? assuming advance online tickets arent issued and the only option is to queue all day to get in.
Id queue for Prince in the rain...purple rain that is !
Green day, fab live show
Depends how close they were gigging to where I live. If they were gigging next door, pretty much any band I like, but if it was a long drive away....
Hmmm.....
Probably Black Sabbath at a push.
Queen.
oh wait.
unfit, zoopla purple umbrella?
oh thats clever !

None!
(Unless it's cos the door is a bit busy!)
Cheating a bit, but the original Live Aid. I'd saw off my own left leg too.
Still gutted after all these years that I didn't tell my work (part time chip shop job) to do one and just go.
none, if tickets aren't available i'm not putting myself out! Queued up once for tickets to see U2 at the SECC when I was 14 from about 5 in the morning. 6 months later I'd gone off them before the gig and punted the tickets!
I'd queue to give U2 tickets away... 😀
Hmmm, fleetwood Mac, now that Ms McVie is back with them. saw them years ago, but Lindsay Buckingham had left, so seeing the classic line-up would cause me to queue.
If I could afford the tickets...
If Genesis reformed with Gabriel,and Hackett, then that would be a given.
Prince
Pixies
Led Zeppelin (yeah, I know)
Aphex Twin
Stone Roses
Cheating a bit, but the original Live Aid
I went! still have the porogamme

I hate you and all that you care for and love.
Wouldn't particularly thank you for one myself either these days, but that gig was the actung baby tour, so looing back I kinda wish I did go.johndoh - Member

~I asked MrsTi_pin and she said jon bon jovi, if it was a propoer small gig... theres no accounting for taste. I then reminder her I saw him and Ritchie Sambora play at the Marquee, shes in a huff now.
Nah, she's upstairs, behind a locked door, reading the Yellow Pages and thinking of Jon, not you...
Definitely Prince
The Charlatans
Underworld
Springsteen
Neil Young
Tool. Only band I like that I've never managed to see or that I'm prepared to spend more than £20 for a ticket.
Springsteen
Tom Petty
Bob Mould
Orbital
Underworld
The Charlatans
Pearl Jam
Mogwai, but I've got a ticket for 8th March so don't have to queue.
The Cat Empire - great live band.
Saw the band i have always wanted to see just before xmas, Queens of the Stone Age, at Wembley, was disappointed to be honest more in the sound quality and the fact that they had no TV screens for you to be able to see anything from near the back
The Cat Empire - great live band.
Pretty sure the queues will be quite orderly for that one 😉
Off to see Magnum at Easter, my fave band.
Ben Folds Five - they were bloody fantastic live.
Pearl Jam & Kraftwerk.
Cheating a bit, but the original Live Aid. I'd saw off my own left leg too.
I went to live aid gig at Wembley too, I rode up to Wembley box office to buy tickets and didn't have to queue for more than a couple of minutes.
It was a good show but no way worth sawing your leg off for, went to the Free Nelson Mandela gig as well, thought that was better. Live Aid is one of those things where the myth is way better than the reality.

Perhaps, but I have watched it several times since on DVD and love it. The thing is - it was a first, almost everyone of note at that time got involved.
I *did* see Boomtown Rats (after the single but before the gig) at York Uni. Geldof was in full-throttle 'give us *&^%ing money you ^%$@&*^% mode.
😀
ACDC, Foo Fighters, Pearl Jam, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Lady Gaga
Magnum....jeebus wept..have drunk memories of them on stage at one of the very many drunken nights at the bukley tiv..about 3 quid on the door.
for me it would be
fields of the neph (original line up)
Slayer
extreme noise terror (but thats not really queing...more slumping in a doorway with the crusties with cheap cider)
Coldplay*
*Armed with a crossbow 😈
I'd loved to have seen Queen, but Pearl Jam and Springsteen would be good. Although I like the Stone Roses, I've seen Ian Brown live and he really cannot sing so I reckon it's spoil it for me I saw them live!!
So I didn't see Live Aid but I *DID* see Queen - Maine Road, Manchester, Status Quo supporting, Belouis Some opening. Smashing stuff.
Kasabian
Off to see Magnum at Easter, my fave band.
I like them too but I doubt you will have to queue for too long!
You might have to - they might sell out the 75 capacity venue...

Oooh, I used to go there loads... in a similar state too. Magnum... Mordred...Love/Hate... The Quireboys... Thunder... that's about all I can remember. It's a pretty hazy period.
Back to the original question... Pearl Jam. QOTSA, Foos, Tool, APC, Faith No More, Orbital, Violent Femmes... there's loads i'd gladly queue for.
The Offspring!
The Who
Led Zeppelin
Nirvana
Jimmy Hendrix Experience
The Doors
Sex Pistols
Clash
X-Factor Finalists
One of these I'm not serious about....
I managed to see Queen in 1979 in a little club in Purley, sarf London of all places. They basically played Live Killers plus a bit of new stuff. Amazing. Nowadays I'd queue to see Richard Thompson doing his acoustic set.
Crippled Black Phoenix
Godspeed You Black Emperor
Kylie
Metallica, on at sonisphere, very tempted
Slayer - particularly playing early 90s sets. New Model Army around impurity. NIN \ TOOL \Iron Maiden any time really. Love to see Prodigy \ Chemical Bros in a 1000 capacity place again.
tomtomthepipersson I pretty much lived in the Tiv in my teen years. biohazard and Bomb Everything (2nd time) still some of the most mental pits I ever entered. Also saw Oasis, Mansun and I think the charlatans on indie nights too
BTW the Tiv is back again, just checked their website - Saxon, Magnum both on soon, bit far for me from South Wales now though...
Tool. Only band I like that I've never managed to see or that I'm prepared to spend more than £20 for a ticket
You owe it to yourself to see them live (just don't expect much crowd interaction from MJK). Incredible live performances. Who else would have naked people hanging by their feet with ropes tied to the rafters 😀
Danny Carey on the drums is a sight to behold.
Seen them a few times now, and I'd queue to see them again.
The Proclaimers - surprisingly excellent live
Loads tbh, live music's ace and if a band's worth paying £20 for it's worth queuing for!
Top of the list probably that Biffy Clyro, only band I've ever seen that could make a show at the SECC work properly. Obviously massively supported by the terrifying obsessed cult-member fans, of which I am blatantly one.
(ps not to be slaggy but when I saw Tool live they might as well have just put on a CD and stuck up a cardboard cutout of Maynard (facing away from the audience of course). The music was brilliant mind but the performance was... er, nonexistant)
Runrig
Mastodon
