Fuck yes Queen at their peak ala Wembley '86

Saw Blondie in the late 90s in Auckland and Debbie Harry still rocked. Past her use by date now unfortunately

Got Springsteen tickets, missed him in the early 2000s becuase my ute shat its guts, missed him last time because I just bought a house but he sang Royals by lorde as his first song which is not an image I ever want in my head. Will be my sons first concert too.

@jegga You'll get your money's worth, he played for ages. Only disappointment last time was I went the night he played Born to Run in its entirety, the night before he did Born in the USA

@canefan I'd be happy with either album to be honest.

@jegga watching him and the E Street Band work was a privilege, no mailing it in from Bruce

NTA

@Bones Hysteria is a genuinely great album

When that came out I was still in high school in a little town in the middle of fucking nowhere. Loved that album but never appreciated just how huge it was until seeing a doco on Def Leppard years later. It was fucking massive.

mariner4life

holy shit, i just saw the set list for Metallica in Puerto Rico, 3 of my 6 favourite Metallica songs to start. The rest is fucking solid, with only one glaring miss.

If this is the standard of the tour i might just have to go

CREEPING DEATH
FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS
WHEREVER I MAY ROAM
HARVESTER OF SORROW
THE MEMORY REMAINS
THE UNFORGIVEN
MOTH INTO FLAME
RIDE THE LIGHTNING
SAD BUT TRUE
ONE
MASTER OF PUPPETS
BATTERY
FADE TO BLACK
SEEK AND DESTROY
ENCORE

HARDWIRED
WHISKEY IN THE JAR
NOTHING ELSE MATTERS
ENTER SANDMAN

Does Steven Van Zandt tour with them ?

MN5

Going to Gunners in Feb. My mate just reminded me I owe him close to $400 for the tickets, thank fuck I've already bought pressies for the boys for xmas. I've heard good things about their latest efforts so fair to say I'm as happy as a clam at high tide. If they're good they might knock Prince off the top spot of best live acts I've seen and there's been some fucken good uns.....ACDC, Deep Purple, chillis, Billy Idol, Ben Harper, Dire Straits ( before I realised how boring they were )

A mate has the Pink Floyd experience band on DVD and it's probably at the point where they do it better than the originals ever did ( complete with the vocalist/bassist doing all the wank louspeaker shit that Roger Waters did back in the day )

@jegga Oh yeah

Bovidae

@mariner4life Pyromania is their best album but Hysteria is good too. I've seen Def Leppard twice and they put on a great show.

I thought about going to G'n'R but Axl's voice at his current age is fuckin' annoying to me. I'll just make do with seeing Slash with Myles Kennedy.

I go to a lot of concerts and have been slowly ticking some artists off my list. But there are a few bands I would have loved to see in their prime (Queen, Led Zep, Floyd). And Van Halen with DLR c1981.

I went to a bloody good gig last night - Steven Wilson at The Powerstation.

Godder

Saw Billy Idol and Queen with Adam Lambert - would definitely go to both again.

Crucial

Shit this place seems entirely populated by bogans.

We still live in a golden age, Justin Beiber, Katy Perry & best of all, Babymetal, are all touring this year!
