Ghost just announced the French leg of the European tour so expect UK dates any time. Planning several dates this time 
Gone a bit mainstream for me lately (not that they were ever hardcore) but I’d deffo like to see them. Saw them support Metallica and really enjoyed them. Rod200SX said:
If you haven't seen them before, they are tremendous live. I'm a bit of a Trivium fanboy I have to admit but have seen them multiple times and always left happy, enjoy!
Been a fan for a while but never seen them live. I've got a ticket to see them at the O2 Brixton Academy in January, but when I found out they were playing just over the road from our hotel in San Antonio on Saturday it had to be done! I played Miss Badger a couple of their songs last night and she made a face like a bulldog chewing another bulldog. Haha, hey ho, we are seated quite far back anyway so she only has to endure it for an hour and a half before off to the jazz bar.

The Pretty Reckless (sell-out) were brilliant last night in Brum.Taylor Momsen is quite the leading lady - what a voice!
The band were incredibly tight and the sound was top notch.
A great gig.
The Cure next, December.

I was massively impressed by her voice as well, hardly a bum note and she gave it all. Oh lord heaven knows (;))how she does it night after night.Mrs Champers would have paid the entrance money for All Witches Burn and Take Me Down, and still gone home happy

Seen him at the o2 Edinburgh and it wasn't half as bad as people were making it out to be after Leeds. Great setlist, average voice at best (like the last 20 years) and a completely s
t venue - no band would've changed that.
Next up for me is The Enemy - at the venue posted about above. Saturday night this time instead of a skool night so several cans and pints more will be sunk.
the corn exchange, sorry the o2 edinburgh, really is a pretty crap venue. it just never seems to have any energy/ feeling from the crowd! literally like you are stood in a school gym hallt venue - no band would've changed that. Next up for me is The Enemy - at the venue posted about above. Saturday night this time instead of a skool night so several cans and pints more will be sunk.
There was a decent venue on the Bridges which shut in the late 70's/early 80's after The Damned played. The floor couldn't take the pogo-ing and it shut permanently. Before my time there.
The Queen's Hall was ok for small gigs and the Playhouse for bigger ones but there was nothing in the middle.

I went to see Band of Horses at the Roundhouse in London on Sunday night.
It was my last Covid-posponement gig, good to see them back in the UK, the Roundhouse is a superb venue, apart from the ridiculous lack of blokes bogs, you have to time your in-set wee to account for a big queue.
Ben Bridwell got a bit frustrated that they were having a few technical issues on stage, the bass player's string broke, so they had to restart a couple of songs, which most people understood, it's all part of the raw nature of live music.
Then, halfway through, a fist fight broke out amongst two blokes right down the front, the band completely stopped and waited until security dragged them both out. It was bizarre, in all my years of gig going I've seen a bit of handbags but never the band downing tools until it was over.
Not what you really expect at a BoH gig, it's normally full of navel gazing middle-aged, middle-class blokes like me!

Saw Abba tribute band Revival last Saturday on the QE2 and off to see the 2 Cello's on November 19th.
Not a specific dig at just you, but it would be good if everyone said how they found a gig if they went.Saying you went to one isn't really very informative.
Were 'Revival' any good? Worth seeing or would an ABBA fan be better off sticking their Greatest Hits CD on and opening a bottle of chianti?
Ditto with Billy Idol, mentioned a few posts back - Was he embarrassing or has he still got it (if indeed he ever had 'it')?
To play fair, I saw The Amazons at Southampton Guildhall recently - Thrashy guitars, muddy vocals and a Wet Leg tribute band for support. Disappointing.
The following day, I saw Nerina Pallot at the Boiler Room in Guildford - Packed out, so she clearly has a following. Lovely voice and some good songs, one wonders how people like her and Ren Harvieu aren't huge while the miserable foghorn that is Adele these days goes from strength to strength... Sound was good, too.
I then saw (what's left of) 10CC at Basingstoke - Incredibly and, to me, surprisingly good - songs had an 'edge' to them that you never hear on the recordings. Excellent sound balance, too. Highly enjoyable, although I don't really like all seater gigs.

I have one of Nerina's songs on my play list, IO should look into more of her stuff but I did some reading about her. She was on one of the Saturday morning kids TV shows, I can't even remember which one, big push by her record company and lots of appearances and she had a coming together with one of the Steps girls I think it was and fell flat on her face on live TV. Completely accidental but for some reason her record company got cold feet and dropped her soon after. She never really recovered after that even though she was unhurt I believe.Gassing Station | Music | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
