Metallica - Manchester GMEX.

GMEX is just a big rattley shed and does loud rockbands no favours.

Saxon supported by Loudness.

[Menelaus]

Dire Straits 1992(?) Glasgow SECC.

Walked on, played for 55 minutes, walked off.

I remember it vividly because I was a student at the time and paid £38 for a ticket - FFS, that was apalling!!

Little Angels - Redcar bowl,

the gig wasn't actually too bad, it was the location was pap

[tino]

Eminem at Hampden by the proverbial (8)mile

Steps.... I took my little cousin she was 12. She loved it. It was horrific.

The Cure - saw them in 1980 and thought they were utter p1sh. Managed to avoid them until some all day thing in Finsbury Park in 93 - they were worse than I remembered, and then some.

Oh I saw them at Glastonbury in the mid '80's - They were awesome, there was an amazing white lightening storm whilst they were playing
- well at least I saw lightening

1981 My first gig, i saw Tank opening for Def Leppard and they were awful.

Few weeks later I'm at Donnington and they opened there. I expected them to be bad, but they were even worse.

Up until the third track when I think it was the bassist got hit by a cabbage and they bid a valliant retreat!

Other than dodgy opeining acts, I've been pretty lucky I guess.

Same as my first gig. The Human League. Apart from Phil Oakley who had a great voice, the rest performed like they'd just been dragged out of a very poor Karaoke bar. It's no wonder he had more success once he'd dumped the rest. I think the bands I've seen in the 90s and 00s are far more talented (live) than those from my teenage, when I think about it.

Although I just saw Spandau Ballet are on at the Heineken Music Hall later this year. I'll decide when sober if I'm that nostalgic...

[Moscow Mule]

Carter the unstoppable sex machine at the Guildford Guildhall.

Matey tried to stage dive, but there weren't enough people in the room so he just hit the deck, hard.

I was only there to try and appear cool to my new girlfriend. The band were tulip.

[ASB]

Steel Pulse. Reading Rock '83. Actually they were canned off. Maybe they shouldn't have said "if you don't stop throwing things we'll stop playing".

Somewhere out there theres a photo of me diving of caversham bridge. Oops. The things you do after 3 days boozing.

Deep Purple a couple of years ago. I left after 2 songs because I still wanted to remember them how they used to be
