Was five year involved doing the food for the Starfish Club, a monthly music event with lot's of the Finest Jazz talents in Australia, like Jonathon Zwarts, Hamish Stewart, Mike Bukowski, James Greening, James Muller, Carl Orr, the late Jacky Orzarsky and many ,many more Would have loved to see Yothu Yindi and for some reason, I never saw the Scorpions. I had tickets for the Scorpions/Whitesnake double header up here in 2020 but Meine had a kidney stone issue at the time and a week later, the country shut down because of Covid. I'd go and see Scorps given a chance, even though they made some rather embarrassing albums throughout the 90s and 00s. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Flames Kreator (2x) Sepultura Cattle Decapitation Satyricon Mayhem (2x) Iron Maiden (4x) Alestorm (2x) AC/DC Saxon Magnum Kiss Marillion (2x) BAP (3x) Cradle of Filth (3x) Children of Bodom Dark Tranquility Accept Lagerstein (10+x) The Living End My Chemical Romance Bad Religion (3x) NoFX Metallica Slayer Dimmu Borgir The Offspring Green Day Anti-Flag (2x) Testament Anthrax David Lee Roth Gary Moore Queen (once with Freddy and once with Adam Lambert) Die Toten Hosen (3x) Venom Inc. Deep Purple Insomnium Cold Chisel The Bay City Rollers Queensrÿche Mötley Crüe Motörhead Geoff Tate The Rolling Stones Bullet for my Valentine (3x) Linking Park Black Sabbath Jimmy Barnes Sham 69 (2x) The Business The Iron Maidens Arch Enemy (2x) Amon Amarth Ozzy Osbourne Blink 182 Pennywise The Mighty Mighty Bosstones Clout The Spider Murphy Gang Avenged Sevenfold Atreyu Sabaton Valhalore Destruction Kalmah Be'Lakor Blasphemy And a helluva lot more than I can't think of atm. Lots of local and smaller Aussie acts, too many to list. As you can probably guess, I love my Metal and Punk with a little sprinkle of other things mixed in. I missed a few concerts like Overkill, when a broken tap flooded the house or when I realised the concert I was going to go to was on the previous day, not when I was getting ready More recently, I had a ticket for Behemoth but was sick. The Scorpions and Whitesnake doubleheader was cancelled 2 days before the show and then Covid hit. I had 7 tickets for shows that were all postponed or outright cancelled. I still have a ticket for Abbath, which was postponed a few times and still is. I think they're coming toward the end of the year and the ticket is still valid. Got a few more additions to the list: Revocation, Suffocation, Jungle Rot and Rotting Christ. I'm also going to see Cradle of Filth for the 4th time in September and in August I'll see Triumph of Death. Skàlmöld from Iceland is on in January. Looking forward to that one. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scorpions at Neue Welt in Berlin in the late Seventies with both Schenker brothers was the loudest show I’ve ever been to. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The names of your metal bands are something else @Aussiekraut! II looked up Rotting Christ on Wikipedia to educate myself. The guitars are alright, but the vocals - not for me. Anyway I couldn't understand the words . Here is a bluesy Australian rock band from the early 70's I have been enjoyed on Youtube recently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like something out of Blues Brothers Not bad but the singer looks a little grumpy Oh, the black metal vocals aren't usually that bad. Mainly raspy and shrieky. Death metal or variants thereof usually come with the deep guttural death growl, which is like full-on. But with Rotting Christ, I am not surprised you don't understand the lyrics because most of their songs are in Greek, not that one would notice As for band names, yes, some are a little "unusual". How about F**k...I'm dead! or Fit for an Autopsy? There is also Infant Annihilator. Not sure if that is an annihilator of infants or an annihilator that is still an infant How about this one? It's an Australian Grindcore band. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motörhead once played so loud at a show in the States that the ceiling of the venue developed cracks and bits of concrete fell onto the audience Not sure if it was just the band's volume or if the building was dodgy. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pale Man Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 Just on the subject everyone. What bands would you have loved to see live, but haven't or cant for whatever reason. Off the top of my head I'd give a kidney if I could have seen these. ELO Divinyls Fleetwood Mac ( with Stevie ) Creedence Clearwater Revival Pink Floyd Black Sabbath 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not on my bucket list, I am not into bands as such, County music is my favourite. I understand we all like different things, so as long as you enjoyed it mate, that's the main thing. I noticed the Stubby Holder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I understand Iron Maiden are not for everyone. I've loved them since early teens. My Mrs was not keen on going as she can't stand heavy music but she ended up having an absolute ball. They put on a great show. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I have never been one for bands & head-banging stuff, I have been to a few decent concerts in my time, mainly The Highwaymen, Barnsy, Rod Stewart & in the old days the Beatles, Billy Thorpe, Normie Rowe, The Platters (don't laugh) & lots of others but these days I am quite happy to watch YouTube in 4K on the big screen & run old stuff like Simon & Garfunkel, George Strait, Alan Jackson & heaps of others. I do like the Stones though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
