rickinmd Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 I'm looking forward to seeing Billy Squier live this summer.. I heard he is touring..I just hope maybe it's Billy the rocker this time instead of Billy & the blues..Last time i saw him was in Toronto a few years back with Styx and Bad Company and i was disappointed. His web site says he will do songs from his full catalog: from the Piper releases to present. A couple of shows i went to last year were: The Bad Co reunion in Florida Grand Funk, War, The Sweet in Michigan.. I was determined to see The Sweet. even though Steve Priest is the only original member (2 are deceased), they rocked!! didn't get to see much of Grand Funk though.. Romantics, Loverboy, Eddie Money in Atlantic City.. thought Eddie was a little off on this one.. Loverboy (didn't play long enough) and Romantics didn't disappoint though.. Some I'd really like to see: that i've never seen Alias (reunion tour) Haywire (infrequent shows in the Nova Scotia area) Head East (probably won't make it to SD though..) I did go to Vancouver (by the way, I live in MD) a few years ago to see: Harlequin Headpins Prism Kenny Shields & Streetheart Great show! Only problem was because of a curfew, Streetheart only got to play a couple of songs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Freddy Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Last two shows I saw were Iron Maiden (June of last year) and Metallica (two weeks ago)... dunno when my next one will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LV KIX Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Love to see Head East...and Billy Squier - and the gig at Vancouver had me drooling Off to see Adam Bomb tomorrow night in Bury so beer n rockin' will be the order of the day! Damn you Nick.... Adam Bomb again. Well, maybe someday I'll get to see him. Until then I have this autographed Adam Bomb CD that will just have to do. Within the next 4 weeks I have Alcatrazz (w/G. Bonnett) and Seven Witches, a couple of KIX shows, and I may even go see Adler's Appetite. Then in July there is Rocklahoma. PS ~ Hope you enjoyed the Adam Bomb show.

Hey bud...yeah it was good, but there wasn't much of a crowd .... probably down to him playing there so often and also Tuesday night may not be the best night to drag punters out! But he put on a good show as always and the band are as tight as a gnats chuff! He sure can play guitar. He's on again in Manchester centre at the Rockbox in a few weeks but I'm working I think....I reckon he'll get a better crowd there! Strangely enough the landlord of the pub is a guy called John Brent....I used to know him years ago when he was a rock DJ in the area...I was wondering what had happened to him so I had a good chat with him. I didn't recognise him at first, well it's been about 20 years since I last saw him plus his hair is dark now and it used to be blonde so it threw me haha! It also surprised me the bands that are coming on there for such a small place...up coming gigs are Dan Reed, Demon and Marseille....might HAVE to go to the Marseille gig!

I'd of liked to have gone to Dan Reed, saw him three times during his Dan Reed Network Days. Off to see Oli Brown next month, followed by The Hampsters.

Geoff Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Well, I (or should I say my wallet) hope I've seen the last show for quite a while. Seen some awesome modern rock bands, which should hopefully see me through the year. Of course I'll see any random 80's hard rock band that might come out here for whatever reason, but nothing on the schedule for a while now.

Glen Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 I might go to see HEAT at the London Camden Underground on March 18th. Make up for missing them at Firefest in Oct 09. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 You sick bastards (not just you, Glen, seen a few of your types - lol). I don't understand how you freaks say I "might" see HEAT! Seems these bands are being under-appreciated and should come over here to Australia where at least they know I'd appreciate them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant help it if you havent got any friends I have a couple (literally) but I'm too young to know anyone into "hair metal" and too old to know anyone into modern rock. Either way, I honestly like going by myself. I'm only there to enjoy the music anyway - not there to chat. I couldn't give a lesser f*ck in the world if I'm there by myself. Poser. A man of your vintage should surely know by now that it doesn't matter what anyone thinks of you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
