Which band/artist have you seen live the most?

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.

It has to be a local band called Weepers Circus... 6 or 7 times.
Then...
The Cure (3)
Heather Nova (3)
Kate Bush (a million times, in my dreams)

Hmm - I've seen lots of bands, but only once or twice each - never got into following them around (which is a shame as it sounds quite fun but I'm much too old for that sort of thing now!)

The Sisters - 6 times
Fields of the Nephilim - 3 times
Local punk bands who'll never go anywhere - too many, too often
Swans - once (but they were awesome, so they deserve a mention)
Ghostdance - once (mentioned just for Scotty - a stonking gig at Coventry Polytechnic around 88/89)

Ok, leaving out the bands I worked with it must be:
All about Eve approx. 20 times (and I payed at least half the time..)
Motörhead approx. 15 times (ok ok they used to tour every year during the 90s.)
Metallica approx 10 times (free willing!)
Put their heads on f*cking pikes in front of the venue for all I care.

I thought Hawkwind 5 times in the 70s was a killer, guess not... :cry:
