Bands you've never really liked but went to see to please your other half/mates.

[Teed]

The Sensational Alex Harvey band, wasn't to fussed by the albums I'd heard, but a mate bought me a ticket to see them on Leicester De Montfort hall, on the proviso, that, If I liked them, I'd refund him the money for the ticket, they blew me away, truly were sensational, gladly stumped up for the ticket. one of the best gigs I'd ever been to.

Saw them at The Mecca in Sunderland. As you say a fantastic live band.

[Tommasi]

Reel Big Fish at Newcastle Uni.

Utter bouncy shite from start to finish. One of the clots in the band had the nerve to keep giving it the 'rock' sign with his hand most of the gig.

Did Less Than Jake support them?

 

[The Man The Legend]

Been dreadful for about twenty five year!

That's fighting talk round my way.

And @chriswallace85 will come round and shoot your dog.

Chris Rea at the City Hall.

Much better than I expected.

I'm a big Dylan fan mate! Got all his stuff
honestly think he's not been any cop live for a long time but fair enough if he's enjoying himself

Fair comment.

He was poor at the Arena partly because the sound was shocking. I saw him in Glasgow a few years back, in a smaller venue, and he was spellbinding.

The wife had tickets to see Avril Lavigne with our two nieces, then ended up twisting her ankle on the afternoon of the gig.

End result. I was at the Avril Lavigne gig, in the seats with two excitable teens. Luckily it was a train home so I could have a few beers to make it bearable.

It's not like her music wasnt enjoyable or that she wasn't good too look at, but f*** me is she irritating

I've seen her three times and she's amazing. So you admit she's beautiful and her musics good so in what possible way could you find her irritating? She certainly isn't she's lovely. You should count yourself lucky to have seen her.

What was?

 

[Kevsgreat]

Was never fussed on the Thrills but I'd just started seeing our lass so took her to see them. They were canny.

Went to see Kelly Clarkson with our lass, my mate and his lass. Kept them happy anyway.

Never really liked the Music but our boy talked me into seeing them. Really liked them after seeing them live.

Idiot.

Been class last few times I've seen him.

A few years back I took my daughter to Capital Radio Summertime Ball at Wembley. My wife was supposed to take her but was ill. I had the displeasure of seeing Bieber, Jason Derulo, Rhianna and many more. The only decent act was Dizzy Rascal. A truly horrendous evening.
