One of the best live acts you will ever see, saw them in Newcastle & Birmingham last year and will see them twice in April this year.Quote:

Yeah I see £82 listed for Sunday. If I get a job sometime soon I'll be getting a ticket - Stone Sour are there as well!Quote:

Hurts tomorrow (tonight) in Glasgow have a lot to live up to.
Saw Biffy Clyro at the SECC last night, first time I've seen them live and they were superb.
Seen a few bands at the (rubbish) SECC and they were the best.
Best band ever to come out of Scotland.

I predict a 5-pager on that statement alone :greengrinQuote:

Best band ever to come out of Scotland though!?
Apart from the Bay City Rollers of course.Quote:

Maybe one for another thread. :greengrin
I'd say Puzzle is possibly the best album by a Scottish band but their new one is just awful.Quote:

Mark my words, that will be the last time I see this band in such a small venue. They are going to be huge. They're already playing to full arenas around Europe and hopefully the UK will get aboard the bandwagon now.
As a massive Depeche Mode fan, Hurts would be the perfect tour support for the up-coming stadium World tour.
I really like Hurts, haven't listened to the second album yet, but the first was very good.Quote:

Because they deserve it. I agree, it's great to see bands in wee venues. To be up close and get the banter between fans and band is great but you don't get the production levels in the Garage that you do in an arena. They will easily be able to fill an arena stage, in fact they already do in Germany, the Baltics, Poland etc.Quote:

Staying in Belfast tonight and The Outcasts are playing in Auntie Annies just round from hotel. Terri Hooley billed as dj'ing although I don't see any decks.. Enjoyed Good Vibrations earlier this week so a wee bonus to finish the Easter break away. Place is swarming with grizzled old Belfast punks who time has not been kind to it must be said!
The Stones at Hyde Park, Sat 6th July. :flag:
Just thought I'd go for it. Went and bought a Sunday ticket for Download in order to see Rammstein!
Black Sabbath in Auckland in 10 days time. Should be a good 'un.
They are supported by Shihad who are a big name here in NZ (recommend a YouTube of them, some good tunes :agree:)
1D, Newcastle last night
:-(
Rammstein's version of "stripped" is amazing.Quote:

Do they play the same set list at each concert, or do they vary them?Quote:

They have 10 or so songs that feature in every tour, add 4 or 5 from the album they're promoting and throw in a few suprises.Quote:

Cheers, how many times do you think you have seen them now??? My mate is like you but it is U2 he goes all over the World to see....Quote:
