Tannhauser Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Crikey Barney, nice to see a fair bit of prog on that list. You must have seen some great guitarists, then - Schenker, Holdsworth, Howe, Petrucci, Fripp etc. How's your hearing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrHanky Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 only ever been to one live gig. Def Tones supported by Linkin Park (back when they were unheard of). In 2000 I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must have seen some great guitarists, then - Schenker, Holdsworth, Howe, Petrucci, Fripp etc. How's your hearing? Heh heh, a fair bit more prog I could add but mostly very obscure stuff, you can't beat a good bit of prog;) Yeah, all of the above guitarists bar Petrucci (don't think anyway?) plus Satriani, Blackmore, Trower, Leslie West, Uli Jon Roth etc. Funny you should mention my hearing as I am classed as partially deaf! Think the loudest band I ever saw was Manowar, god they were sooooooooooo loud:blink:.......way louder than Motorhead and that's saying something. Pardon!!

Animal Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Some great bands on that list Barney, I'd have loved to have seen King Crimson, Hawkwind & Gong back then. Seen Hawkwind & Jethro Tull in the early '90s, Tull were great live. Speaking of prog bands, I've just come across 2 new ones in the same vein as Dream Theater - Symphony X & Isis, definately worth a listen to. My list of gigs is something like... Warlock '88 Dio '88 Motley Crue '89 W.A.S.P '89 Skid Row '89 Slayer '90 Megadeth '88 & '90 Metallica '91 Helloween '88 Guns 'n' Roses '88 Dave Lee Roth '88 Wolfsbane (various '90s) Little Angels (various '90s) Kiss '88 Iron Maiden (various '88+) Def Leppard '90 Saxon '94 Suicidal Tendencies '90 Anthrax '90 Testament '90 Jethro Tull '95 Girlschool '93 Hawkwind '93 Obituary '92 Sacriledge '92 Bolt Thrower '90 Xentrix (various '89+) Levellers (various '90s) Ozric Tentacles (various '90s) Lawnmower Deth '90 Sepultura '91 Dismember '91 Dream Theater '07 Symphony X '07 Machine Head '07 Trivium '07 Arch Enemy '07 Dragonforce '07 This isn't counting the many bands known & unknown I've seen at various bike shows, support acts, etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Animal: Thanks. Symphony X I have a few things by but not heard Isis so another band to check out. Good gigs there, fell in love with Doro when I saw Warlock:) The first time I saw Hawkwind was in 74 I think and of course Stacia was with them then;) King Crimson were superb, Ah those were the days. I see Wolfesbane are doing some support dates soon, now Blaze Bailey... there is one dedicated metalhead, he was the best period of Iron Maiden imho.

Blaze Bayley is playing Manchester Academy tonight but it's as himself not Wolfsbane I think, would be good to see them again though - they need to release all their old stuff again too, it sounds a bit flat and could do with a remaster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met him a few times and he always has time for fans. Yeah, the Wolfsbane stuff is ripe for a re-master. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
