Bands You've Seen the Most

Motley Crue

Following on from the other thread in regards to bands that you've seen live, and due to people having to struggle assembling band names, I figured we should try this. What band have you seen live the most times - and if you know - can you state the number of times you've seen this band.

My list, I think, is....

1. Metallica - 5 Times
2. Machine Head - 4 Times
3. Stone Sour/Guns N' Roses/The Darkness* - 3 Times

*If you count Hot Leg, Hawkin's Darkness Kafkaesque** follow up, I've seen them 4 times

**The adjective refers to anything suggestive of Kafka, especially his nightmarish style of narration, in which characters lack a clear course of action, the ability to see beyond immediate events, and the possibility of escape. The term's meaning has transcended the literary realm to apply to real-life occurrences and situations that are incomprehensibly complex, bizarre, or illogical.

Mushy

Porcupine Tree - 5 times
QotSA - 7 times
Muse - 5 times

Penfailed

And So I Watch You From Afar - 15 times (at least!)
Gomez - 4 times
Pearl Jam - 3 times

Mars Bar

The Saw Doctors - 22 or 23 times.

Latchy

In Concert under roof

A-HA
The Beach Boys ( twice )
Brian Wilson ( once )
Status Quo ( three times )
Eirc Clapton ( twice )
Ultravox ( twice )

Not counting live open air concerts with mixture of artists ( cant remember all ) and hundreds of pub bands , all these other artist /bands have seen once in concert .

Rory Gallagher, Dr Feelgood , The Police , The Specials ,The Stranglers, Horslips , Juidth Durham , Deacon Blue ,The Only Ones , X-TC , Depeche Mode , OMD , Mott the Hoople , Dave Dee Dozy Bicky Mick and Titch

Good idea. I saw the other thread, but after attending about 30 shows per year for ages now, there's no chance to write all these great shows down. Here's the ones I go/went regularly:

Carnivore (5x)
Type O Negative (6x)
Guns N'Roses (4x)
Metallica (10x)
Megadeth (5x)
Die Ärzte (11x)

My favorite 5 shows ever that I attended:
- Carnivore (Wacken 2006)
- Guns N'Roses (Mannheim 1991)
- Type O Negative (Bremen 1994)
- Miley Cyrus (Dublin 2009)
- Die Ärzte (Berlin 2002)

Did you go last night? Was it any good? Much of a crowd? I was going to go but lack of interested mates and some poor reviews of his new album put me off.

There are a couple of bands I've seen a handful of times but Pixies are more than likely the band I've seen the most live, at eight times.

Brixton Academy, London, 2004 (twice)
Hammerstein Ballroom, New York, 2004 (twice)
Pukkelpop, Belgium, 2005
Lansdowne Road, Dublin, 2005
Alexandra Palace, London, 2005
Primavera Sound, Barcelona, 2010

It was nice to see them again after five years this summer but I think I've had my fill of them for another while unless they change their setlist significantly.

Don't give up, just make sure that the next time they play you go no matter what. The first time I saw them was just after the () album came out and it was like a religious experience

Friends of mine have seen them at various stages since then and have all said the same about the first time they saw them.
