  1. As for the others

     

    Bon Jovi - saw them Slippery When Wet, and New Jersey tours, maybe another one also.
    Steel Panther - saw them at Festival Hall a few years ago - great show
    Def Leppard - saw them only last year. Cheap tickets, which were upgraded to 4 times what they were worth for some reason. Great seats, much better show than I thought it would be.
    Kiss - Numerous times, both make up and not. Saw Kiss Symphony (you can hear me on the DVD if you listen closely) Probably seen Kiis 6 or 7 times. Second best show I've seen.
    Motley Crue - Twice. Last 2 tours. Missed Dr Feelgood which I massively regret. Saw the show with the angle grinders and shit, and it was shit. Goodbye tour was way better. Vince sung marginally better.
    Alice Cooper - Supported Motley. Will probably see the full bown show here in October.
    Cheap Trick - Saw them at the Day On The Green with Choirboys, Angels and Billy Idol headlining. They pretty much sucked. Didn't even play the Flame. They played all their early stuff which nobody in Australia knew. Sad. I went to the show primarily for them. Billy Idol made up for it. Amazing show.
    Guns N' Roses - First time this year. Was a decent show. But it was at a stadium that took 70,000. Didn't really feel the vibe.
    Iron Maiden - My first metal show. Great, but long. as a teenager it was probably a bit too long. Powerslave tour.
  2.  

     

     

    I saw Warrant on the Cherry Pie tour at Festival Hall

    Like most in Australia, I'd never heard DRSFR so I binge listened until I knew the songs by heart. Great move because half the set was this album and I knew the songs, unlike my friends.

    Amazing show

     

    Also saw Poison at Festival Hall. Took some amazing photos which I'll scan and upload one day.

    Another amazing show.

    Van Halen? Cause I don't know how often they play outside the US, I don't think that much.

     

    Otherwise Cheap Trick cause of the different style

     

    Van Halen has played in Australia, once with Cherone fronting the band and other time with Lee Roth fronting. Lee Roth fronted show was once off and it was up in Sydney, where Cherone fronted was a tour.

    A side note Hagar played Australia a couple weeks later.

     

     

    We have a winner - simo

    Yup, it is Van Halen.

    Had no interest in Cherone.

     

    And I did see Sammy at the Palace a couple of weeks later.

    Amazing show.

    He sung Dreams which is apparently rare because of how hard it is to sing.

    One of the best shows I've seen.

  3. Haha, okay, so you're older than I thought. ;) If I can vote again, my last educated guess would be Twisted Sister.

     

    I act like a teenager though :)

     

    Saw Twisted Sister again at Festival Hall on their only Australian tour.

    Dee swore they'd be back, and even said " I know all bands say this, but when Twisted Fucking Sister says it, we fucking mean it!"

    He lied.

     

    Anyway, saw them again in Milwaukee in 2003. Aside from walking around saying "aaaayyyyyee" all the time, ala the Fonz, the biggest memory was that all the bottle shops closed there like around 5pm. Weird

    That show was (very sadly) a clone of the show 15 or so years earlier in Melbourne.

    Same shtick, same lines, pretty much everything. Very sad, but still the best live show I've ever seen.

  5. Saw Tesla at the HiFi bar a few years ago in Melbourne

    A small place who cater for hard rock acts.

    Wasn't overly impressed sadly.

    It was an OK show. They didn't play many of the songs I wanted to hear.

    Aside from that sounded OK, but only OK.

  6.  

    The Nelson above reminded me of this.

    Amazingly overlooked song.

    I always think of Bohemian Rhapsody when listening to it. Not because it sounds anything like it, but because it's full o twists, turns and tempo changes etc.

    Excellent choice and quite frankly there isn't any Nelson song that is overlooked in the martinsane camp.

     

     

    I thought Lightning Strikes Twice was an amazing album, and aptly named.

    I never did the Country & Western disc they released, I probably should give it a go.

  7. You're right.

    Most Warrant fans hate B2B

    In fact I'm sure many would call this new incarnation of Warrant as being more true to the first 2 releases than B2B

    Yet that album had Jani singing.

    It's a waste of time comparing old to new to a large degree.

    I look forward to the new Great White album. Thought Elation was pretty good.

    I also enjoy a Jani-less Warrant and a Steve-less Gotthard

    All based on the music and going in without pre conceived ideas.

  8. I have to close my eyes when watching the clips.

    He has this way of being too over the top with his enthusiasm for what he's singing.

    Sounded ok to me. I only hope for a couple of stand out songs and I'll be happy. Most of it I'm sure I'll find a bit repetitive and kind of the same.
