Okay... the ONE band you must see before you die

[Bryan316]

Just the one band you gotta see, even if it means severing a limb, or hitchhiking across Europe, or selling your Xbox to afford the tickets?


For me right now... Labyrinth. Gotta gotta gotta. Before my old and crippled ass expires.

 

[MetalRose]

Mine was Savatage. So I guess I can die happy now.

The other one was Alice in Chains. That will never happen now though.

Mine was Marillion--I flew to England to see them in '02 and again in '03, and will be seeing them in Chicago and Cinci this weekend. I'd have to think to come up with a new one since I've already seen PoS twice.

Now, I can make an extensive list of places and architecture I have to see before I die.

 

[MetalNations]

Sonata Arctica, Saviour Machine & White Lion (Vito Bratta)....seems like the WL will not work...

 

[Daybreaker]

PRETTY



MAIDS

I want to see them so bad that if I could Id fly to Denmark and pay them 3000 bucks to let me choose the setlist for a massive three hour long gig.

I have seen most of the bands that i have wanted to through the years though that is not hard as there have never been a crap load of bands that I have had to absolutley positively see. When i was 15....Emerson Lake and Palmer, had to see them and did. Had my father take me and a few friends through what was close to blizzard conditions.

Lately there are more and more bands I would like to see but few come to mind that I absolutely have to see or life as I know it will never be the same....and of those it is not likely to happen as they are either too old to make difference or dead.

There are some festivals I would love to go to.

Someday.

 

[pyramazekeyboardist]

Soilwork when A predators portrait was released. In flames when colony was released. Disarmonia Mundi. Nightrage. Sonata Arctica. Iron Savior. I would love to watch a Hans Zimmer Orchestration recording as well.

 

[Gonzo the Silenced]

All these have been granted, mostly through travel. Otherwise, I'd never have seen...

Paradise Lost (Draconian era)
Savatage (Stevens/ Pitrelli era)
The Gathering
Stratovarius - on the Infinite tour
Spiral Architect
Symphony X
POS
Evergrey
Zero Hour
Nightingale (notice several of these are ProgPower bands?)
Lacuna Coil

etc

The only bands left, off the top of my head, are:

Marillion - MIGHT happen in DC!
Cynic - not likely, but damn that would rule
Sanctuary - ditto
Carcass - as above
At the Gates - dammit
Pride & Glory - argh!!
Lilitu

 

[TX Metal Cowboy]

Saviour Machine, there is a band I almost forgot about!! I would have to say Nightwish tho for me!!!

 

[jkohn]

It sure would have been cool to see Led Zeppelin & The Who at the top of the of their careers. Of current bands I've actually seen a lot of them that I wouldn't have thought possible thanks to ProgPower. I'd like to see Demons & Wizards, though.

 

[MetalRose]

Lacuna Coil

They put on on HELL of a show! Christina has one hell of a set of pipes! And they are nice guys/ gal to boot as well. They came and hung out at the hole-in-the-wall bar after their show one night.

-MetalRose

 

[Se7enChurches]

Cynic - not likely, but damn that would rule
Carcass - as above
At the Gates - dammit
Lilitu

agreed totally on the first three. Living in atlanta, i've seen Lilitu twice now.

as far as the ONE band... I still really wanna see Mercyful Fate, but since I've seen King Diamond twice, I'm gonna have to reserve this vote for...

OVERKILL!

can't believe I've never seen them yet.

[JayDubya]

Well, first it was Symphony X, and then Evergrey bailed on PP1, so THAT request was answered, but now, I'd have to say it's Freak Kitchen.
Mattias Eklundh is one HELLUVA guitar player.

J-Dubya

 

[JayDubya]

Mattias Eklundh and Freak Kitchen

I had 2 goals to accomplish before I die. One was to catch a trophy musky, and the second was to see Symphony X play live. Both have been fufilled!
(and the musky was caught & released!)


J-Dubya

 

[JayDubya]

l'd have to say Freak Kitchen. Mattias is one helluva guitar player!

J-Dubya

 

[Jax]

Yeah, what JayDubya said (gee what a surprise.. )..

 

[Yngvai X]

I've only two must see bands left: Rage and Gamma Ray.

 

[Metalmilitia2000]

Judas Priest.

[warmwetos]

Interesting thread. I too am a Marillion fan and was happy to see them with Fish the way it should be. I also got to see them with H several times which was good too but nothing will beat the Clutching at Straws tour.

Bands I would love to see do a reunion
Psychotic Waltz
Rainbow (w/Dio)
The original Scorpions w/ Uli Jon Roth
The original UFO
Genesis w/Gabriel on vox (sorry Phil )
Kate Bush
Spinal Tap...now that would rock!!! \m/ \m/

Cheers, Tony

 

[13ShadesofGray]

Bands I would love to see do a reunion

Psychotic Waltz

**I'm working on that!**

Spinal Tap...now that would rock!!! \m/ \m/

But they'd have to do Stonehenge....

Let's see, saw Jason Becker w/Cacophony, so no...
Saw 3 of the others within the last year (SymX, Dreamscape & Adagio) so Colleen is a happy chick!

I'd have to say Blue Murder (original lineup),
Journey (original lineup) Just to see Steve pull it off live. damnnnn
Kansas (go ahead and smack me now for not seeing them...)

How 'bout bands we wish we could've seen?

Badlands or anything w/Ray Gillen
Shawn Lane
Ozzy w/Randy Rhodes
Whitesnake w/John Sykes
Van Halen (original lineup)
and many others
