You're Told To Get Your Coat

Motley Crue

OK, so picture the scenario. Your friend calls and tells you to get some cash together, you're going into town, you ask what for and they say it's a surprise. You get into town and find out that there's a band performing a secret, intimate gig, in a small venue.

They can be any band in the world with any support regardless of political correctness or sound, with the exception they have to still be either partially active or all alive. Who would you want to see?

My money would be on Faith No More supported by Shadow's Fall and Fireball Ministry

Without question.

What about you?

Well if I was picking any era metallica it would be the 82-83 era (ie when they added cliff but before dave was fired.

Current era as the OP stated they have to be alive so that rules out Cliff. Otherwise it'd be the 83-86 era w/Cliff.

Deftones, Glassjaw supporting.

I've seen all my favourite bands that are alive...

Went to Down, Flyleaf & Korn, Kyuss and Thin Lizzy in small venues in Dublin like the Ambasssador so I've been very lucky.

ATM, the band that I want to see most is Stone Sour. I didn't realise I'd end up liking them back in 2006 when they played Download at the RDS. I was like "Stone who? Meh it's prob some ghey emo band" and didn't bother going in to listen to them. *facepalm*

So if they performed in the Olympia, Vicar Street or the Academy it'd be great. I'd like to see Slipknot supporting doing their mellower songs off the last 2 albums.

Also I feel robbed of the chance to see Jonathan Davis perform what was gonna be an intimate gig in the Academy for his solo stuff off Queen of the Damned and some acoustic KoRn stuff. Gig was cancelled. Broke my heart.
