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.

I probably saw this pish Glasgow band called Manic Noises about 30 times, everytime I went up Nightmoves of a Friday when there was no name band on, they seemed to be playing

i envy you all.... XD.

bands dont show up here so often as to say i could have seen them more than once : (. front 242 might be coming back this year; if so, that would be a twice. be happy for me, he.

theres a local band i saw many times (when they used to play at abandoned death looking cellars) wich name is natas; theyre more in the stoner style, but they rock all the same. they became a little bit known internationally in the last years. thought you might like to know of them, i recommend them, if you allow me.

8) I thought they were amazing in Leipzig. I've been into them for 6 or 7 years but just the records, had no idea what to expect live really... didn't think it would be that much of a show. Very pleasantly surprised! :notworthy:

aye, never saw Genesis with Ped Gabs, only the two times, once with Steve Hackett once sans, they were still fairly credible up till Duke (I'll ignore the dreary ...and then there were three) after that is went very Pete :|

he, yes, the names cool.

yes, i didnt know what to expect either, they came around 2000. even though i wasnt expecting the old school stuff, they certainly are awesome; they kind of played remixes of remixes of remixes, and it was an excelent show. i heard they have come back to the old school ebm with their lasts releases (wich foolishly i havent yet listened to) so im even more desperate to see them again.

have you been to the last nitzer ebb tour? they showed up here! was the best gig of the whole last year, they turned the place into a true hole.

If you're talking about the October thingy, don't count on it. Dates are cancelled due to bad organisation...

Twice with Gabriel - Foxtrot and Lamb Lies Down. The other three times not so memorable, the last time was after Hackett left and they got too dreary.

The trouble is once you really like a band its difficult to stop liking them no matter how bad they get

I used to try and keep a list but lost it years ago.

Most was Claytown Troupe - 67 was the number I think I settled on as there were so many I lost count at one point and was drunk at everyone, bar one in Leicester when I had to drive!

After that The Mish / Rose of Avalanche at about 30/35 each...

Lorries / Salvation / Ghostdance at about 15 / 20 each

Never gone to much concerts, most i've seen my brother's metal-band, Dimenz, that used to play a lot around here in early 90s...must've seen them over 20 times. Hell, i even thought they were almost good, as did my friends.
