RussTCB Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Just now, James Bond said: Just okay? That's disappointing! I absolutely loved them back in March (and I see them again tomorrow). Nick is the controller and the mastermind (not to mention a big part of their image) so it'll be weird not seeing him there but nevertheless I hope I enjoy it as much as I did the first time around. I think these are the first shows he's missed in his entire career. Both him and Simon were always the constants throughout the line-up changes. I think Nick not being there took a lot out of it for me. It wasn't bad by any means, but it wasn't great. I could very well be the victim of getting my hopes up too high in the first place.

My original plan is still in place though - I'm counting Duran Duran as my opener for Guns and skipping out on Billy Talent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
username Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 (edited) Some pics from North Sea Jazz Festival last weekend: CC Smugglers Pokey LaFarge Buddy Guy The Roots I only managed to get tickets for Friday. Would have loved to be there on Sunday too and see Gregory Porter, Joe Bonamassa and Walter Trout. But then again I've seen Bonamassa a couple of time and I'm seeing Trout in November anyway. Might still get tickets for Porter in Amsterdam in November. Anybody seen him? Is he good live? Edited July 12, 2016 by username Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ssiscool Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Not 2016 but pleased i managed to get tickets for the last ever black sabbath gig. Will be an intense night though bit annoyed that tickets were £70 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 I think I enjoyed my Duran Duran show more than @RussTCB did. After the buzz kill news that Nick Rhodes had to tend to emergency family business back in England, I think Simon and the boys still delivered. Simon, John and Dom really held down the fort all night. I have to give credit to MNDR or whatever her name is for her keyboards. It couldn't have been easy learning all of Nick's cues at such short notice but if I closed my eyes I wouldn't have known the difference. After seeing them twice this year now (luckily, the first time was with Nick), I'd easily rank them as one of my favorite live acts. A high energy, pop/rock show with everybody singing every note. Great crowd! A surprising mix of ages too. After the big question mark that was Tokimonsta kicking things off with a laptop and screensaver graphics, Nile Rodgers and Chic delivered a nice opening set even if not completely my cup of tea. The guy is legendary and even came out to sign stuff for fans at the front. Next up - Guns N' Roses! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RussTCB Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 I'm seeing Culture Club tonight and I'm beyond excited. I'm loved this band from the first time I heard them in 1982 but I've just never been able to see them for a variety of reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Bought my ticket today for Yelawolf's next tour (the guy in my avatar ). Still debating whether to try and get a Gojira ticket too, but it's a month before Yela and both shows are in Vancouver (AKA an expensive ferry ride away), so it'll be a game-time decision on that one. As of now, this is all I've got lined up for the rest of the year: GNR - August 12, Seattle Alice Cooper - October 18, Victoria Yelawolf - November 13, Vancouver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GivenToFly Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Runrig at the Edinburgh Castle. Pretty amazing! I'm not a big fan of their albums but live they simply become magic. There are other acts that sound better live than in the studio but I don't think there are any that improve to the extent that Runrig does.

KeyserSoze Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 might be checking out Shinedown and Halestorm this weekend. Ive seen shinedown before when they skyrocketed to fame with their Sound Of Madness album. Never seen Halestorm though even though they seem to come around me a couple times a year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chevelle Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Saw Deftones for the third time on Tuesday and had a fucking blast. Probably the best time I've seen them yet (partly because I didn't have to defend my tiny ex at this one, unlike the last two). Actually had a few surprises setlist wise and I spent the whole night on the rail, even high fived Chino when he dived in the crowd. Great night all around.

They used to be one of my all-time favourite bands! I just never digged the new lineup and albums, to me personally its been boring since 2004. The music they put out in the 70's, 80's and 90's is still some of my favourites though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonic Boom & Monster are alright for new material, but the band focused almost entirely on the 70's and 80's during their concert, only exception being Psycho Circus Paul Stanley's voice is getting a little shot, but Gene still sounds great for his age and they put on a great show for the crowd http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/kiss/2016/amsoil-arena-duluth-mn-33fcb8c1.html Edited August 6, 2016 by Gackt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
