At the Disco, Queens of the Stone Age, Rancid, Slipknot, Stereophonics, The Academy is..., The Streets.

Not nearly as impressive as yours, Emma. And I can't remember half of them now. I'm sure I'm missing some.

Edit: forgot about Simple Plan, New Found Glory, The Zutons and Less Than Jake.

More will come back to me later.

[DJDrew]

You've seen Babyshambles? Pete turned up, then? I really wanted to see them at Leeds, but I went with a group of about thirty people who all wanted to see Rage Against The Machine. I wasn't that bothered about Rage, but I didn't want to get lost from my group, so I ended up at Rage. Now, looking back, I was glad I did see them, because they're a "once in a lifetime opportunity" band to see.

[Chris.]

Hmm, Who have I seen:

Muse (3 times), Pendulum (Twice), The Zutons (Twice), Faithless, Coldplay, Bloc Party (Twice), Editors, Klaxons, Queens of the Stone Age, Ractonteurs, Rage Against The Machine, Serj Tankian, Simian Mobile Disco, We are Scientists, The Killers, The Subways, Feeder, Franz Ferdinand, Kaiser Chiefs, The Streets, Metallica, Dizzee Rascal, Lethal Bizzle, The Fratellis, The Enemy, Biffy Clyro, Hadouken, Jimmy Eat World (Twice), Red Hot Chilli Peppers (Twice), Arcade Fire, !!! and Arctic Monkeys.

I'm seeing The View next month, forgot about that. I knew I'd forgotten something - better not forget to actually go!

I put all the gig tickets I could find on my notice board, still got a few more to find and some I didn't get tickets at all for (like Editors, We Are Scientists, The Kills). There's a photo here http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m132/lrjlo/Image218.jpg but it's quite rubbish quality because I left my camera downstairs so used my phone camera.

The best were probably Metallica, Korn, Mindless Self Indulgence, GnR, Foo Fighters, Whitesnake and Marilyn Manson. The worst was HIM, by a mile.

Now all I need to see is The White Stripes and AC/DC, and my life will be complete.

[Emma]

Did you see Mindless Self Indulgence at Reading? I saw them at Leeds. Ohh, I'd cut off my right arm to see The White Stripes.

[Robbie Keane]

I saw MSI at Reading and at their own gig in Birmingham. They impressed me far more at their own gig (Jimmy Urine is far too hyperactive, but I like that) with their songs, insulting the crowd, recording sex messages to themselves for Youtube, etc. But they did great at Reading too, and won a lot of people over.

The Monkees, Roy Wood (Mud, ELO, Wizzard), Desmond Dekker, The Cult, Shakin Stevens, Shed Seven, The Charlatans, The Stranglers, Squeeze, Chesney Hawkes, Blondie, T'Pau, Eat Static, CJ Bolland, Toni Di Bart, David Essex, Neil Diamond amongst others.

[Grace]

In no particular order: Natasha Bedingfield, Avril Lavigne, Atomic Kitten, The Feeling x 3, Scouting For Girls x 2, Palladium x 2, Saving Aimee x 2, Mika, REM, The Twang, Klaxons, Arctic Monkeys, Editors, Guillemots, Delays, James Morrison, Newton Faulkner, Adele, Jack Penate, McFly x 2, Luke Toms x 2, The Fray, Will Young, Charlotte Church, The Pussycat Dolls, Sean Paul, Little Man Tate, The Script. The Ting Tings next week.

[Emma]

Has no-one gone to see Cage the Elephant? I'm going to see them in November and was wondering if they're any good live?

They were supporting The Wombats when I was there, but I was in the bar. They sounded alright though, but I don't reeeeally like them :shock:

[Kelly]

...no-one.
