Was having a discussion with someone about Iron Maiden just last Sunday. Saw them 6 times in 1980 (and 81), all with Paul Di'anno on vocals. I thought they were vaguely edgy back then as Di'anno's leather, denim and short hair (and alcoholism) image balanced out the spandex loon pants and poodle hair, which i always thought was w*nk. Lost interest when Dickinson arrived as there was no balance any more.

My claim to fame is I appeared on an Iron Maiden record before Bruce Dickinson (I was at the Marquee when they recorded Drifter for the B-side of Sanctuary).

I'm pretty fond of Maiden up to and including 7th Son & thought Brave New World was allright but Iron Maiden & Killers are their best records for me.

Throwing Muses about 40 times.
New Order about a dozen times.
Then probably My Bloody Valentine, 7 times. My ears are just about recovering.

Primal Scream definitely the most at least 11 times between 2002-2009
Oasis 8 times between 2000-2009

Not sure who I've seen the most behind that maybe Blur, The Charlatans, Kasabian, Kings of Leon or Franz Ferdinand probably at least five times each.

Been to so many gigs and festivals over the year it's really hard to keep track, I think at my peak between 2006-2008 I must have been watching around twenty gigs per year on top of at least one festival.

British Sea Power
Spear of Destiny
The Waterboys

I'm going to see Spear of Destiny in Brighton in October. It'll be the first time I've seen them in 25 years, which shows how often I saw them in the 80's!
