*sigh* I know who Rush are.

But I wanted you to rant -_-

I missed Rush.

Forced to move 6000 miles to the desert.

Holy fuck, this'd make an awesome Emo song. Progemocore.

ENOUGH ABOUT RUSH! Stupid hosers! Hahaha, I'm so gonna get smote.

I ALSO MISSED CURIOSA!!! I didn't have 80 dollars. I shoulda borrowed money from my parents. I want to see the Cure and Mogwai so badly.

the paper chase, i was at the gig but had to leave after two songs for the last train cause my flatmates didnt want to spend the night roaming glasgow. luckily the second song(where have those hands been) kicked ass.

the paperchase = sweet
rush = sweet

There are a lot of bands I could have seen but didn't (Stalingrad, Canvas, Hard To Swallow, Keelhaul, Isis).

heh, keelhaul are awesome. and Isis are touring this month! go see!

I'm planning on it! More gutted about Keelhaul though, II is such a good album. Oh yeah, also missed F-Minus and Voorhees because my then girlfriend had an abscess in her tooth and I couldn't have gone and left her behind, Kill Your Idols because I had an exam the next day and La Quiete in Nottingham because I was ill... Damn, the more I think about this the more good gigs I remember missing.

Stink for those of you who missed the Shins aye... Damn I woulda been so much more gutted if I had missed that.. Luckily I was bouncing around the walls days before that about it so I never would have forgotten...Ever...

I missed the Anti-Heros last month, that kind of bummed me out. I also missed Darkbuster last night, which REALLY bummed me out.

I once had a ticket to a concert but I couldn't get there so it was wasted.

Not so much missed as will miss...doesn't look like I'm going to get to Japan in time for the Autechre gig. Crap.

MC Chris is going to be playing in the next city over (about an hour and a half away) tomarrow, and i'm not going to be able to make it.

Rush are only the best band ever.

AND I FUCKING MISSED THEM

fuck man, it's just dawned on me how much that fucking sucks.

i love rush. but... if you're talking about the 30th anniversary tour.. they sucked.

The Engine Driver · « **Reply #65 on:** 10 Apr 2005, 23:50 »

Since I've started listening to the Decemberists they've played about seven Chicago gigs, all of which were at least 18+. I'm 17, so this poses a problem. One day I will see them and be the happiest guy on earth.

Samgam Gamalan · « **Reply #66 on:** 11 Apr 2005, 01:45 »

When Muse came to town last year, they booked a way too small venue and the tickets sold out in 2 days, i heard about that and was pissed off, they then change to a different (bigger) venue and release more tickets. i, being completely oblivious, miss these too and miss out on seeing my 2nd fave band...*tear*

EDIT: I just remembered that i missed TMBG's show because it was an over 18s and i was 17 and 51 weeks. I guess they'll never come back too...*tear*

haha, Autechre is coming to do a UK tour.

It's going to be great.

Shame it's at Stealth, looks like i'll have to go into the "NME home for hairwax kids"

urgh.

I'm sure it'll be worth it.

steve-king · « **Reply #68 on:** 12 Apr 2005, 03:57 »

The Men They Couldn't Hang, St Patrick's Day last year - I saw their website by chance that same day (I thought they had split years ago), but too late to get there.

Also, Runrig, Balloch Park, Glasgow 1992(?) - back then it was the biggest and fastest selling gig ever in Scotland (50,000 or 60,000 I can't remember), though a few bands have beated them since.

pistachio · « **Reply #69 on:** 12 Apr 2005, 04:31 »

I can't actually think of any shows that I missed, but I went to a Ben Harper Show to see Jack Johnson who was opening last summer and I wasn't big on Ben Harper then, in fact I knew like two of his songs, but anyway, my friend that I was with didn't really want to stay for Ben so shortly after he started, we took off. Looking back, oh so sad I missed it, especially since now I know that right after we left, Jack came back and they finished the show off together! stupid, stupid, stupid...

FruitKat · « **Reply #70 on:** 12 Apr 2005, 04:43 »

Hehe, Yay for another Jack Johnson fan... I just saw him recently... His songs just make me so happy... I couldn't feel sad while listening to his music...

I missed The Pillows playing a ten dollar show in Hollywood.

dannyboy · « **Reply #72 on:** 12 Apr 2005, 09:00 »

I missed the Simon and Garfunkle reunion show a couple years ago. Still wish I could have seen that. Would have been great to see such an iconic band from my childhood and an obvious musical influence to most of my fav bands (think Belle & Sebastian) live.

Radiohead - Thunderbird Stadium, Vancouver

Coachella 2004 - Coachella Valley, California

Lollapalooza 2004 - Some fairground, Seattle, WA (I was actually going to go to this, but then it had to go and get cancelled!)

Rufus Wainwright - Vogue Theatre, Vancouver (I was going to go, but my friend's mother's funeral was that day. And what did her brother do? He left before the reception to go to the damn thing. AND HE DIDN'T EVEN GET EITHER OF US SHIRTS!!!!)

muffy · « **Reply #75 on:** 12 Apr 2005, 14:31 »

I missed The Subways last week, for the simple reason that I forgot about it.
I went to see iforwardrussia! and this et al instead, which was a pretty good gig.

yipjumpmusic · « **Reply #76 on:** 12 Apr 2005, 21:53 »

Simon and Garfunkle are good but I have heard them on pbs or something for some live show and they are not the same....hmm maybe it was only one of them, I forget.

Arcade fire opening for the unicorns...ouch, must'a hurt.

Oerdin · « **Reply #77 on:** 12 Apr 2005, 22:09 »

I never listened to the Decemberists until Jeph started writting about them in QC and I didn't find out about them playing at Cane's in San Diego two week's ago until after the show was sold out.

Katili · « **Reply #78 on:** 13 Apr 2005, 01:41 »

I wanted to go to the small Manics show in Derby on April 4th =/

I had tickets to the Oxfam charity gig with Razorlight + REM + Chris Martin of Coldplay - record company gave us four so we could work the doors.. then cancelled two, so I ended up missing it.

REM
PLUS CHRIS MARTIN
SINGING AT TEH SAME TIME.
Sucked.

ayePod · « **Reply #80 on:** 13 Apr 2005, 04:42 »

The Scottish Tsunami Survivors gig. I misssed it mainly for the fact that it sold out extremely fast.

Robbo · « **Reply #81 on:** 16 Apr 2005, 05:35 »

Hmmm, probably Sunn O))) a few months ago. Just for the damn experience of seeing them live.

haha, it was so funny wandering around town on the 4th, so so so many manics fans outside the assembley rooms waiting to be let in, they were in line for hours...

muffy · « **Reply #85 on:** 16 Apr 2005, 20:14 »

I was working at the station the day the manics played brighton - I hadn't bothered with tickets, but was happily chatting to my mate about how I loved when the manics played, as loads of cute, malnourished guys wearing eyeliner came into the shop... As I said this, a cute malnourished guy wearing eyeliner came in, and just looked at me. In that way that says 'I know you were talking about my kind'...was kind of embarassing. I'd like to see them again though. I know the new stuff's pretty gash, but they always put on a good show.

daneford · « **Reply #86 on:** 17 Apr 2005, 08:49 »

I'm going to have to miss Motorhead and Death From Above 1979 *cry*

...Wow. If I missed both Motorhead AND DFA 1979 (already missed them. :/) I think I'd kill myself.

Rock. May the old school Vader fans eat you alive. More so if they play Slayer covers.

Son, Ambulance played the UK a couple of weeks ago, and I didn't hear about it. I MISSED IT. I love Son, Ambulance, and would have loved to have gone, if only someone had told me about the damn gig. I dont have friends working at Saddle Creek for nothing, and they neglect to inform me of these things...GRRR.
It makes me MAD. Mad enough to use SHOUTY capital letters, even.
