maqroll Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Loudest band i ever saw was the Gary Moore Band at the old Cape Cod Coliseum. A triple bill with Krokus and Def Leppard when the drummer still had both arms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were excellent but ear splittingly loud. That said this week I had a hearing test and it seems that years of gigs have **** my hearing and a doctor recommended a hearing aid, I am holding off until I am desperate. Protect your ears kids, invest in some earplugs. I did, just 20 years too late. What you say? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that sort of music too, I just think bands like Wolfmother have much more quality and creativity within that genre whereas Electric Citizen sounded like kids in a garage. Technically they were decent musicians but missing the quality songwriting and creativity. Wolfmother were a much better band for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did a spot of chart rigging for them. Squeezed this into the top 70. Which got you noticed in Music Week, if not 'Top of the Pops' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAVe80 Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 The Melvins are playing Leeds Brudenell on 20th June. Not sure I can get the time off work though. May just have to drive it, and go into work knackered the next day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Chiseled jaw, baseball cap wearing country singer Kip Moore on Monday for me. Enjoyed his last album so looking forward to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 'band' was four local boys singing and dancing along to a backing track of pop songs. Imagine, if you will, a subtle combination of the opening rounds of X factor where they are still laughing at the mentally ill, combined with Phoenix Nights. I don't think we were their target demographic, I might have been the youngest person in the room that wasn't on stage. I think someone just decided any practice in front of any crowd had to be better than none. But we all clapped, and then got on with the serious business of programme pricing for next season. Price hike to £1.50 agreed. Surreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted April 21, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted April 21, 2016 Anyone into "Explosions In The Sky"? Just announced a date in Birmingham, tempted, but never really listened. Where would be a good place to start with this band? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieZ Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 I made the trip down to New York City the other day to see Underworld (I live Upstate—think Canada) and it was well worth it. I had a neat little moment when I looked over during "Born Slippy" (from Trainspotting) and realized I was dancing next to Jonny Lee Miller (from Trainspotting!), who was rocking out just as hard as I was. Really happy to have had the experience. Oh, and earlier in the week, I caught Ghost and Tribulation for another really solid show. Smart band, stupid fanbase. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
