PTH2009

what bands do you want to see before you die ??.

I would want to see the following

Motley Crue
Poison
ACDC
Aerosmith
u2

Saw all the other bands i wanted to see

CiaranK

Off the top of my head

New York Dolls
Iggy Pop
Rolling Stones
Aerosmith

NIMAN

If it meant I died after I seen a band, I'd have no interest in music again.

Among my gigs, I've see AC/DC live twice, don't want to see anyone beyond that.

The 2 Live Crew

(after the rare treat of Peter Steele reuniting Carnivore for a few gigs back in 2006/2007 there's hope for everything) :-)

If your talking about bands who I may only get one last chance to see, that would be;

The Rolling Stones
R.E.M. (in that reunion tour The Edge speaks of)

Kraftwerk

Otherwise, there are numerous bands touring consistently I would like to see and may have a few shots at it.

A few off the top of my head;

Aerosmith
Pearl Jam
Foo Fighters
Guns 'n' Roses (assuming they reform)
Savage Garden (assuming they reform)
Nickelback
My Bloody Valentine
Kings of Leon
Radiohead
Red Hot Chili Peppers with Frusciante
Public Enemy

Thin Lizzy

I don't think it's morbid at all, I think everyone should have a Bucketlist - always a happy moment when you can mark a band of the list ;-)
I'm also constantly adding to the list when new artists strike me or I discover someone I had missed over the years........

for me I've seen a huge anount of the bands that I want to see, of the bands that are still together/alive -

Van Halen
Scorpions
Toto
Survivor
Poison

will be marking the following off the list this year :-)
Black Sabbath
Soundgarden
Sodom
Robin Beck
Work Of Art
Hue And Cry
Europe

Timmaay

Bloc Party. Again.

I saw them live in Oxegen few yrs ago, I had listened to them a good bit, but they weren't really on the radar and I only went down to see them because nothing else was on at the same time. But wow, blew my mind away just how good live they were, how good the crowd was, everything about it was special!

Pink Floyd: A proper reunion with Waters, Gilmour and Mason and maybe one of the stand in keyboard players from The Wall tour, Andy Brown maybe as he learnt a lot of Rick Wrights parts when Wright left the group in the early 1980s. And a good retrospective smattering of the classics from Set the Controls onwards.

The Who
Thin Lizzy (Missed the last chance in 1984)
Boards of Canada Live
My brain aint working atm, will update.

wvicky01

Metallica
Guns n Roses
ACDC
The Killers
U2

I would have loved to have been able to have seen Bob Marley!

RayCon

Would like to see :

Tesla (headlining ... only ever saw them do a support slot)
The Dickies
Steven Wilson
Genesis (full reunion)

..... Im sure there's others

Ash.J.Williams

I asked myself that question in 2003 and the last two left on my list were Primus and Danzig and went to the US to see both...and worth the trip!
Bonus too with Danzig and Doyle doing a 30 min misfits set too!
Seeing the Butthole surfers in vicar st. was unexpected but another off the list!!

Gunslinger92

Them Crooked Vultures...

marwelie

ELO (wont happen, Jeff Lynne isnt interested, Kelly Groucutt is dead)
The Smiths (wont happen, Johnny Marr isn't interested, Morrissey would rather be dead than reform)
The Beatles (wont happen obviously, but I've seen Macca three times so that will do)
Pink Floyd (wont happen, Roger Waters isnt interested, Rick Wright is dead)
Marking Elvis Costello off the list tonight and giving consideration to going to Tom Petty

Other than that I can die happy (not that I intend doing so for a considerable time to come )

Waters would be well up for this, it's Gilmour that doesn't want to do it.

Good point, scratch that off the list so, not a fan of Mr. Waters

Listening to Pet Sounds atm, put the Beach Boys in their place ;0

Iron Hide

Genesis (Proper reunion)
ZZ Top
Aerosmith

lesserspottedchloe

ACDC and the Cure(gonna see the latter at Picnic )

Zaph

Talking Heads, but seeing as there's been a rift between David Byrne and the other three for years, the chances of getting all four on stage again is pretty much zero.

Iconwine

u2

red hot chilli peppers

the strokes

santana

df1985

bands ive never seen:

ACDC
U2 even though not a big fan, have to cross it off the list.
