Gig quiz

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.

First - Iron Maiden

Last - Mozart's Requiem in a church 2 minutes away from my house (don't know if that counts as a concert)

Would like to - If we can only choose one and right this minute than i guess it would be Carl Orff's Carmina Burana (don't know if that counts as a concert either)

Stray Cats. Reading c1980

Fun Loving Criminals. Manchester Appollo 1998

3). What band would you like to see live right now?

Stone Roses (1989 line-up) or Snake Davis and the mob he used to play with in Leeds Student Union bar c1984. If you mean one that's still around then ... I expect The Chillis are fairly entertaining. (Yes you guessed it, don't know many, but Junior was impressed that I had Californication when he first started watching Kerrang)

I saw APC on the 16th September in Manchester. Absolutely great gig. They only played an hour and 10 minutes and no encore...finished with Judith but were just amazing. Hopefully they'll be playing Stockholm soon.

If so, only artistically. They have a new album in the making.
