Bruce Springsteen

[walrus]

I like Springsteen music though he is a liberal cocksucker I wouldn't hesitate to see him live. Yes was the first live band I saw, they made me want to learn how to play. The grateful dead, the stones, Taj Mahal damn I've seen some good shows. They all had a positive effect on me

Ditto. I saw "GNR" (really just Axl Rose and Dizzy Reed) which I have to say I was nervous about seeing them past their prime and with key band members in Velvet Revolver at the time, but Axl put on a hell of a show, he was still hitting and holding those high notes. Opening up for GNR was Sebastian Bach who tried to get the crowd (in North Carolina of all places) to boo the War in Iraq (which damn near nobody did not because we're so pro war but because we're not going to disrespect our men and women in service) and that was pretty funny, but Sebastian Bach took that ok and moved right along, he sang well too. Papa Roach was the next band and I completely tuned them out.


I saw Van Halen (with Wolfgang Van Halen on bass) and they did a great show.

The only bands left on my "to see before they die or break up" list are: Huey Lewis & The News, Billy Joel, Hall & Oats, AC/DC (with Axl is ok enough), Weezer, Black Keys, The Strokes, The Hives, Leon Bridges, and Nathaniel Ratliff & The Night Sweats....though the last 6 on that list are relatively new compared to the others. I wish I had seen Motley Crue, but that's not going to happen now...also would have loved to have seen Levon Helm too.

Levon used to have those midnight jams at his place in Woodstock. Did them for years. I was going to go but something always came up. I really regret not seeing him . His last album, I think it was dirt farmer, was phenomenal stuff

Yup, man those would have been fun. One of the bands I mentioned: Nathaniel Ratliff & The Night Sweats cover "The Shape I'm In" and I must say that Levon would be proud of how much justice they do the song. (The Shape I'm In starts at the 5 minute mark)

When I was a buffed young 20something I did security for. Motley Crue.
Another time I did security for either them or Guns. N Roses..where a then unknown Pantera opened up.

Milwaukee June. 20-July has an 11 day musicfest .about 20 stages. I was torn between Huey and the News at Leinenkugal stage and Carlos Santana at the Miller High Life stage. Santana won out.

And I think my 3rd concert...my mom took me to see Hall N Oates.
One on One
Kiss is on my list..
I can't go for that!!!!!
Rich girl
Private eyes..
And the bass line for Family man live was epic. Great sound, great show.

I was going to see Hugh Lewis and the news but I was afraid I Might lose my dignity at the show, maybe leave it under the seat or something.
I would be amiss to not mention Dylan probably saw him six times. Once I got third row, I think Dylan spit on me, spit flies out of his mouth while he sings. I still have that shirt, never washed it.

[superheavyrhun]

My list of who I've seen is far too long, and probably explains why I have fairly poor hearing!

Radiohead
Bob Dylan
Meat Loaf (first ever gig)
Muse
Red Hot Chilli Peppers
Oasis (it should have been twice, but only once as we went to what turned out to be their last ever show at the V Festival, and my mate took a bad trip. He spent fifteen minutes promising to buy tickets to their next show as I carried the fucker back to the tent....I'm still bitter)
Foo Fighters
U2 (worked the bar at the Millenium Stadium, they were good, but not £80 per ticket good!)
Gang of Four
Sham 69
30 seconds to mars
Manic Street Preachers

Those are the ones that come to mind immediately, and I always geek out whenever Eels have a new record or tour, and see them a few times on each visit.

I know it's borderline sacrilegious, but never been a Springsteen fan. Never cared for the raspy voice, nor the music itself. I realize he sings a lot of patriotic songs and that's probably part of the reason he's so loved... but I'd probably never make an effort to see him in concert. That being said, I respect that he gives 100% at his concerts and looks exhausted by the time it's all over.

He was best at the local level. Patriotic songs are cheesy a times like Beans can get @walrus

Lyrics patriotic for whom, repubs or libs

Got in a little hometown jam
So they put a rifle in my hand
Sent me off to a foreign land
To go and kill the yellow man
Born in the U.S.AA

Come back home to the refinery
Hiring man said "son if it was up to me"
Went down to see my V.A. man
He said "son, don't you understand"
I had a brother at Khe Sahn
Fighting off the Viet Cong
They're still there, he's all gone
He had a woman he loved in Saigon
I got a picture of him in her arms now
Down in the shadow of the penitentiary
Out by the gas fires of the refinery
I'm ten years burning down the road

Nowhere to run ain't got nowhere to go
Born in the U.S.A., I was born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A., I'm a long gone daddy in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A., born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A., I'm a cool rocking daddy in the U.S.A.

Call me crazy.... But if this were written at the time of Woodstock, he'd be a bonafied hippie styled liberal that the Reagans and Nixon's of the world would call his lyrics unAmerican and unpatriotic.

Pretentious cunt with tickets on himself.

Im amazed he crept into Roy Orbisons circle of friends,bet he wasn't rude to any of Roys roadies.
