None as well...

So sad, because I always have this stupid feeling one of my favourite bands might break up or stop touring when I have the money to actually get a ticket :argh::bawling:
Just the one and it's the script
From October, I can say Lady Gaga :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

Well I once went to like a night where a few little un-well known bands played, there were 4 I think but as for famous artists I saw Lana Del Rey last May! Was amaaaaaaaaazing! :biggrin:D
I've been VIP/have met the following thanks to my old job:

Kasabian,
Beady Eye,
Jake Bugg,
Kaiser Chiefs,
Ellie Goulding,
New Order
Two Door Cinema Club
The Vaccines
Tinie Tempah
Franz Ferdinand
Happy Mondays

Are the ones that instantly spring to mind, along with a few undercard artists et cetera. Surprisingly enough, most of them were really, really sound. The only person who sticks out in my mind as being an absolute dickhead was Bez of the Happy Mondays.

In terms of who I've seen live at regular gigs - Hundreds, probably.

I've seen Alice Cooper 4 times.

First time - supported by Quire Boys and Thunder
Second time - supported by Twisted Sister
Third time - supported by The Treatment
Fourth Time - supported by Ugly Kid Joe and Loaded

I've seen Nightwish once, supported by Tristania

I've also seen Guns n Roses once, (supported by Thin Lizzy but I only caught the last song they played)

and I saw a few bands at the Leeds Carling festival - G n R, The Offspring, Prodigy...

oh and I guess I saw a few pop acts at Party in the Park in Leeds when I was a teenager - like 5ive and so on, but they were rubbish so I don't really count them lol.

Simon and Garfunkel were incredible performance-wise and in the way they interacted with the audience; telling stories about they met and that kind of thing, was really lovely.

Lots. 100+. What's funny is what you enjoy at the time vs what you think with hindsight. So, Nirvana on a Sub Pop tour in 1989 - on the night pretty poor, with hindsight 'omg I saw Nirvana with 50 other people before they were famous'. Then again, I saw The Wedding Present 15 times, most people posting on here won't even have heard of them, and probably for good reason.
