Bands you,ve never seen but wished you could

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Joy Division for me as well
Err, several line-ups of the Sisters, to see them go through the phases...
Johnny Cash would've been nice too
As CD said: The Sisterhood
Nirvana would've been cool

Err, Millionaire, for they did not turn up friday, and Anne Clark, since Christophe is busy informing me how great she actually was yesterday :D

Guess some more bands, but can't think of any more right away..
Styles are a lie.

Joy Division
Bauhaus
Pink Floyd
Eels (with Butch, I've seen them without)
Leonard Cohen (Not a band, but meh)

To be honest, all live music is great. If I've got a CD or two by a band then I'd love to see it in the flesh.

yeah Scardy Curve were an intense live experience.
Toni is even smaller than we think, but what a front woman.
take note Ms. S. Manson

Indeed. A bit like Debbie Harry fronting The Jesus & Mary Chain. :notworthy:

i've seen them a fair few times as well -from "poppycock" (whats so fuckin' good about candy etc) era through "this is this" to "tour for sanity" -top band who always tried new ground regardless of getting slagged for it on occasion. clint poppy used to go out with my ex's mate and he'ld turn-up at leicester poly union bar at dinner times,surrounded by PWEI-t-shirt wearing students who never had a f**king clue who he was;but in those days all students wore tees by bands like "james" because they were trendy :roll: and had never heard a record by them!

PWEI - Unspoiled by History
they came, they did their thing, they parted company at the right time.
and now...
they get back together when we need them most

Blast loves The Poppies!

Can't think of a single one. Did very well for myself gigwise as a yoof back when there were actually venues for bands to play in Leeds.

Never saw Joy Division so them I guess.

And Bowie's "Glass Spider" tour wasn't a high spot so I'd quite liked to have seen him either earlier OR later :P
Something pithy.

I wish I had seen the Smiths in their early days. The time when Morrisey was still young and wearing bandages over his nipples. Those must have been the days!
