Definatly the Foo fighters!!!

I saw UB40 here in Oz about hmmmm 15 yrs ago.....have never been to a more BORING concert in my life!!!

Now, I love their songs when heard on the radio in between a load of other songs....but when you listen to their songs back to back....SAME!!! BORING!!

But that is just my opinion

You will of course mate, I am slightly biased though. Went to see them 2 weeks ago, absolutely fab. They mixed the new and the old really well, 1 in 10 was the encore and they didn't really need to sing it cos we did it for them!! I had no voice the next day, hubby was well pleased

Where are you seeing them? We saw them at Wembley arena and to be honest the venue was not brilliant, it was really just a big tent cos of all the work being done to the stadium!

Enjoy them, I have seen them in Germany, Hong Kong and Wembley (twice) and am happy to hear that they play Oz.

1 in 10 is as relevant now as was then.
sorry cant even name a foo s record,and no i am not a one band fan.
i listen to a wide range of stuff but cant say ive heard much if anything from the foos,i do like and have done for years,the chilis!
Totally agree, I bought the greatest hits yesterday ( even though I have every song on vinyl or cassette). Can't say I like their later stuff, but from Labour of Love 2 back to the beginning I can't think of a song that I don't like.

My mate and his girlfriend went through to Manchester to watch them last week, he's not a UB40 fan and he was bloody dreading it...........and yes your right, he's bought the T-shirt and all the bag of mashings you can get at any concert.... he says they're brill !!!!!!

MERRY CRIMBO
