It was largely the image that put me off to be honest. I appreciate it was good for their careers, I just didn't like it, or the music they've made since. Plus I always thought Samson were crap, so I wasn't impressed by the announcement when they brought Dickinson in. Incidentally, I went to...

Was that the gig they played in Brighton in October/November 1979? I was 17 and on my way down there from Kent when the school friend who was driving us - just passed his test - took a corner too fast and rolled the car. Silly bugger. Never made it. Fortunately I did see them in March 1979 at...

There sure are some masochists on this thread... :smile:

Savages are a cracking live band. Seen them twice in the last 2 months. My fondest BSP memory is also them playing this first time I saw them in 2003 or 04. They went off on one and thrashed about for about 15 minutes. Great stuff. They seem to have trimmed it down these days.

Babyshambles is my most non-seen band, since they've been booked to play at 4 festivals I've been at, and PD has failed to show up every time. Was equalled by The Horrors, but I finally got to see them at the 5th attempt.

Only 'once' and 'twice' respectively for me, so some way down the list.

Nick Cave, if you count all his guises together - The Birthday Party/ Bad Seeds / Grinderman / book siginings Probably U2 next, but only once since 1981. Possibly Billy Bragg in 3rd, since there was a time in the 1980s when he cropped up on the bill at just about every event going. Or...
