Coldplay tonight - Mill Stad keeping roof open

[ccfc_is_my_life]

So why don't you, and the rest of the "genuine" music fans on here compile a list of the bands that we should all be into, and a list of the ones we should all avoid like the plague. You could then follow up by telling us what beer to drink and what vegetables to have with our Sunday roasts. Fu*k me. Life would become easy!!

You are not worthy and vegetables are for wimps.

Don't be so harsh!
Vegetarians will provide a nice healthy meal for us carnivores when the apocalypse comes.

I've been to live shows from 1962 to now and I've seen many of the greats - solo artists and groups. I saw Jerry Lee and Chuck and Little Richard - Ritchie Blackmore with the Savages and Ginger Baker with Jack Bruce in the Graham Bond Organisation. I've recently seen Joe Bonamassa, Joe Satriani and Walter Trout. But the best music experience I ever had was seeing Gene Vincent backed by Sounds Inc.

I take my hat off to you sir, and salute you! You are lucky and fortune enough to have seen some of the all-time greats, but I'm sure you know that. Your record collection must be a sight to behold?

As I listen to mostly Northern Soul/Soul/Motown these days, did you ever get around to seeing any of the 60's greats live in concert?

My reason for truly despising Coldplay is completely logical to me and probably only me.
One of my favorite bands are Teenage Fanclub who,to me write beautiful songs and deserved to be huge.
Along came Travis and watered down the Fannies sound with weaker but more commercial elements and became big.
Coldplay came around and watered down Travis' version of the Fannies even more and became huge, with added pomposity.
My logical reasoning..
And I stand by it.

if anyone ever tried to link Teenage Fanclub with Coldplay i'd say they were pissing in the wind. as you are

incidentally, C86 played a massive part of my early musical life, as it (probably) did yours.

I didn't say it was coherent logical reasoning..
Yep, c86 fan. I still go back to some old Railway Children occasionally.

I love these threads.

People arguing about music is pointless as it's all down to personal taste.

I wouldn't watch the likes of Coldplay, Ed Sheehan etc. because it's not my cup of tea but to say that they're shit is just ridiculous - obviously they've got something going for them to make it as far as they have.

The only 'non metal' band I've ever seen was when I took my father in law to see U2 at the mill stad a while back - he's a massive fan and thought they were amazing. I knew a few of their songs and while it wasn't really my thing (not to mention Bono preaching about world peace etc.) they really put on a show and musically they were excellent.

By the same token I'd say the best band I've seen live has to be Maiden but I'm pretty sure most people would have a different opinion on them than I've got.

Exactly, one man's music is another's musak.

I'd love to see Iron Maiden live, got their Rock In Rio cd and they do sound epic live.

I'm lucky (old) enough to have seen them back in the day at Newport Centre.

Saw them back in May this year and while there's a bit less jumping about these days (from the band and the fans) the music is still as good as it's ever been.

Took the missus this time (she likes rock but not the heavy stuff) and even she had to admit that it was really impressive - high praise indeed coming from her.

Definitely one of those bands that everyone should try and see at least once in their lifetime.

Never been a metal fan but I've loved Iron Maiden since hearing run to the hills back in the day.
They are proper songs with big arse choruses.
You could probably get away with playing them on acoustic and they'd still be good songs.

Old enough to have seen them at Monsters of Rock. Forget your boring Downloads and Glastonburys, that was a real festival... Coldplay would have been murdered by the endless bottles of piss chucked at them...

Lucky enough to have seen so many great bands there, Maiden and AC/DC definitely the best by a mile.

Have to agree with you.

Maiden '88 and AC/DC '91 are still two of the best I've ever seen.

Absolutely.

I remember the Kiss concert at the Ice Rink back in 92.

Was the tour for Hot in the Shade with the Sphinx backdrop. As we queued to get in, the head of the Sphinx was visible outside - turned out nobody have bothered checking the clearance of the arena, they couldn't get the damn thing in.

Surely they would!
But .. what would Coldplay be doing at an Iron Maiden concert, and standing in front of Maiden fans in the first place?
Why would the Maiden fans be watching them?

All very f*cked up... ;)



Shock horror, we all like different kinds of music and, to a lesser or greater degree, some cannot deal with that concept!
For whatever reason.
And their piss doth boil !

There is plenty of music to go 'round, take your pick and bollocks to anybody else.

MOTT THE HOOPLE BEST BAND EVER

Was very sad to read this week, that the legendary Mick Ralphs has suffered a stroke, and it looks like he won't be playing live again

[lardy]

Fans of villages in Cardiff will be thrilled to learn that former Coldplay manager Estelle Wilkinson lives in Creigiau.

Legend in your own mind! I hate vegetables, but I'd eat them if you told me to leader.
