Guest Moomintroll Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 I got a cheap ticket for Kiss last night and have seldom been more entertained. I'm not particularly a fan (they have about four decent tunes), but the two or so hours flew by due to the total theatre of it. Would definitely go and see them again.Erm, about that last sentence....... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamJags Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Erm, about that last sentence.......Their first “farewell” tour was in 2000. They’ll be back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a tour on this scale, any band would never do another for at least two years. Looking at Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley’s age, and the undeniable fact that Stanley’s voice is on its last legs, just cannot see it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forty years of albums, concerts, getting out there and always putting on a top notch professional show. Say what you like about them, but they took pride in their craft. Like Rush - fantastic live shows for 40 plus years. U2 will likely match them both for longevity, and pride in their work. Springsteen is still doing it (on a worldwide massive show level). Wonder if a band like Coldplay will do it too. Who knows. The Stones will probably still be playing the odd live show in a hundred years from now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we’re talking about a band still recording, playing big tours, still playing well and being relevant, then a band like Journey are certainly in the discussion. I saw them at the Apollo in 1978. A band I really like. From their early jazz-rock (‘Kohoutek’ being my favourite song from that era), to the Steve Perry heights, to finding Arnel Pineda and recording albums that are still very strong.... they also have one of my all-time favourite drummers in Steve Smith. Heart are another band right up there. Just started their ‘Love Alive’ tour in the States. First saw them supporting Queen at Ingliston in 1982, and had such a massive crush on both Ann & Nancy when I first bought their ‘Little Queen’ album in the 70s and saw that front cover. Another favourite American band of mine have just celebrated their 25th anniversary, and have released a great new album ‘Blood’ are Collective Soul. Will they make 40 years though!?

Ira Gaines Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 I've seen Iron Maiden a few times and last year was as good as I've ever seen them. Sounded amazing and Dickinson's voice was top drawer. They've got a few years left too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSU Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 First gig was Iron Maiden's Seventh Son tour at the Edinburgh Playhouse in the late 80s. It was following Nicko's appearance on The Sooty & Sweep Show. Someone threw a Sooty puppet on stage. Bruce put it on, said, "'Ello, Sooty. Fancy a w**k?" and then my friend started a Sooty chant which went on longer than was completely necessary. Good times. Supported by Killer Dwarves, IIRC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForzaDundee Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Just also secured briefs for Retro Video Club at St Luke's. Anyone that wants to be in the "before it was cool" club should check these guys out, like a Scottish Catfish and the Bottlemen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
