    1. Has to be an active touring band, or a band with a chance of actively touring

    What is the one band you want to see live at the moment more than anything, maybe it's because you haven't seen them in years, maybe you have never seen them and love their music and they just haven't played here. Whatever the situation, name the band you really wish would tour ASAP!

    Mine would be Shadows Fall - haven't seen them since 2003

    Saw shadows fall a few years ago, they were class.


    Ehhh does Pantera count?

    I wish Reuben would get back together and play 1 last show, that'd be my choice.

    +1 to Reuben

    Right now for me, it would have to be *shels.

    If you can read this, you're too close!

    Some how the Gods and whatnot have conspired against me to ensure I have yet to see Nine Inch Nails and Pearl Jam!!

    Odd considering it's not like they haven't come here!!

    Tesla (missed them in Belfast last year , haven't seen them since they supported Def Leppard in the SFX years ago ... possibly 87/88)
    Queensryche (haven't seen them since the Operation Mindcrime tour in the SFX - 1990 I think)
    Fish (last gig in the Sugar Club on the 13th Star tour was brilliant.)


    ....ooooops , sorry you said "band" not "bands" ... in that case I'll go for Tesla

    Don't mean to upset you, but you know they also performed in Dublin with Def Leppard as well? I would have loved to be at that gig too, was supposed to see them in Glasgow, but never managed to make it the hour down the road at the time due to other commitments....would love to see them as well one day

    I was raging as I got out of work late that day and missed Tesla, who I really wanted to see and who were the only band out of the four I hadn't seen live before. So I suppose they're on the list, too.

    They are a great band. Hopefully they'll be back here soon, maybe 2011, on some kind of Classic Rock vibe with a DLR fronted Van Halen at Download - if that happens, they can also open for Journey, Foreigner and Styx

    Scorpions. As they are on their last tour it would be great if they could make an appearance in this country. A long time fan I have never seen them.

    I wanted to see Melissa Auf Der Maur, who's just finished a tour of Europe including the UK - but I couldn't get away due to finances and university commitments. She was in Ireland last year, apparently, but I didn't hear about it until too late. :(

    From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.

    Saw them at Hellfest and they're were awful, I was really disappointed!

    Dying to see Morbid Angel thankfully they're playing Bloodstock so needless to say I'm gonna be there!

    I would love to see Mastodon again. Saw them for the first time in Marley park, but would love to see their own headling show. Probably have missed out on seeing them play Crack the Skye in its entirety at this stage :(. Or would have been pretty cool if we got the Mastodon/High on Fire/Dethklok tour over here, would have done anything to see them here. Won't say no to seeing Rage Against the Machine again.

    Ozzy Osbourne and band for me....with Zakk Wylde back in the fold. I was always aware of him but only really discovered his music, properly, quite recently. He always seems to have had a top class group of musicians around him.

    Tool - Haven't played here since '06 and unforunately I missed them. Have never seen them so it'd be great if they came back.

    They played the academy last year, they were class. Can't really see them coming back for awhile unless they bring a new album out...

    I've never had a chance to see killswitch engage and have always been curious about whether they would be any good live or not. Hard to see them coming to Ireland (or even the UK) anytime soon though.

    Yea i remember. i missed that cuz i was on holiday unfortunately!!
    They should tour again wheather or not they release an new album!!there shows would be sold out(not as fast as pearl jam did....6 minutes)

    I'd be curious of killswitch too there class(in the studio) they seem like one of those bands that would suck live tho.
    Ya never know

    In that case they'd be my pick. I always thought those guitars (which make the band) might get a bit lost in a live show...

    Neurosis, but I'm seeing them in London next week. (Touch wood regarding the weather).

    Kyuss, though Garcia Plays Kyuss this year was very cool so not quite the priority it might have been.
