What a sick country this is turning into :thumbdown:


:rofl:

PS Michelle your kiddin right? :p

Re: I'm going to see McFly !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Nope! Not kidding! My boy wants to see McFly and doesn't want his embaressing Dad to take him - so he's taking nutty Mum along who will show him up by bouncing around like a looney :eek: :rofl:

This was one of the things on our 'to-do before leaving for NZ' list :D 4 weeks and counting :thumbsup:

Michelle x

PS: See if I could have gotten Take that tickets - we wouldn't have moved ANYWHERE until I'd been to see them !!!!! I'm heartbroken that I can't see them!

I'm going to see McFly !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Who or perhaps what are McFly?

Some popular music group, circus performers, illusionists??

Buggered if I know!

Re: I'm going to see McFly !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Re: I'm going to see McFly !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Most of the above except the music thing :rofl:

Re: I'm going to see McFly !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Can't believe people want to go see them what a bunch of talentless cretins they are.

Re: I'm going to see McFly !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

So you don't want me to pick you a ticket up then ??? :rofl:

Re: I'm going to see McFly !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

No thanks i'd rather shoot myself :)

Did see james morrison last week, he was truly awsome.

I get your point about seeing bands before you go though, next on my list is jamiraqoui, would love to see Bob Dylan or Tracy Chapman befoer I go but there you are will have to wait for them.

Re: I'm going to see McFly !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

I much prefer the term 'Rather boil my own head' than shoot myself :rofl:

Would love to see Jamiroquai too :thumbsup: ... and Bon Jovi ... in fact I'd see anyone :rofl:

Re: I'm going to see McFly !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

We saw Jamiroquai last year in Birmingham and they are amazing - JayKay is on my "To Do" list !!;) His live singing voice is no different from an edited recording, probably better in the raw sense and don't even get me started on his moves!!!! Phwoar!!!!! Showed my mother the full colour piccies in the souvenir brochure and she thought he looked like he could work the checkout in Asda???!!! Should have gone to Specsavers (or any other generic opticians!!):thumbsup:

Re: I'm going to see McFly !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

I saw Bon Jovi in 1995 and they were ace - They had Thunder and Van Halen as support!!

We went to Sydney in December to see Robbie Williams, that was brilliant :)

IN NZ we've seen Elton John, David Gray and we should have seen Pete Murray but I got the day wrong and we missed it (still gutted about that one)

Re: I'm going to see McFly !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

WOW

I just love the atmosphere at Live concerts - I'm hoping and praying that Take That will come over seeing as I'm going to miss their UK tour this year :(

In fact, I've just added this to my to-do list .....

'Email ALL bands/artists I like to beg/plead/arse-kiss to come over to NZ constantly until they do'

Now if i get a petition going, it may just work :D I've tried searching NZ and their gigs ... came up with Chilli Peppers :thumbsup: there soon.

I'm going to see McFly !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Mrs Nice Guy says that about me!

I'm going to see McFly !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

I saw Mud in the seventies at the Pally in Purley.....those were the days..........when music was music............ah I can still hear the rendition of Tiger Feet ringing in my ears.........sheer bliss.........now where's my gramaphone?

Re: I'm going to see McFly !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

:lol: :rofl:

Over here I've seen The Who, Sting (phwoar!!!! toned muscles up the yin-yang, pun intended :p ), Kula Shaker, Junior Wells (before he snuffed it, obviously - hubby's band was backup :D ), Cherry Poppin' Daddies and a whole slew of local bands.

Re: I'm going to see McFly !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

I haven't a clue who they are, but having looked at their pictures I would feel far too pervy to like them ... they look like babies!

Re: I'm going to see McFly !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Make the most of them, as far as New Zealand is concerned Mcfly don't exist.
My Daughter is soooo Jealous. We saw them in Nottingham 2 years ago, great show, especially the covers they did at the end, ENJOY:thumbsup:

Re: I'm going to see McFly !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Rob, where did you see Bon Jovi in '95. We seen them at Gateshead, they had Val Halen & Ugly Kid Joe for support. But Thunder was kind to us, came to Newcastle 3 years running - they're brill.
Isn't Jon Bon Jovi tiny - not my type now.

Re: I'm going to see McFly !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Here's some useless info, 3 of them went to the same Music College in Newcastle as my son, but just a few years before.

Re: I'm going to see McFly !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Hubby is into punk, and 2 of the bands that we'd seen in UK, we'll see here in Wellington.
The Anti NoWhere League, played here in November - a better gig here than back home.
And The UK Subs - if anyone's heard of them, they play here next month. They are not the kind of bands you'd expect to come to NZ, hubby thought that he'd never get a chance to see either again.:thumbsup:

Re: I'm going to see McFly !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

That is music to my ears :thumbsup: :eek: . One thing I noticed when I travelled but this was only in aus, is the amount of talented musicians just doing local pubs, I hope NZ is the same.

Re: I'm going to see McFly !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Our local has a band on every friday night, there's not one I've seen there that I could say was crap. From what I've seen (generally speaking) the pub muso's here are more talented than pub bands I've seen back home.

Re: I'm going to see McFly !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

I saw them in Sheffield - the night before my final exam at uni :D

Re: I'm going to see McFly !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

My brother is seriously considering coming out when the UK subs are here. He watches a lot of live bands in the UK and has seen the Damned so many times I often wonder if they look out and say "Hey, Pete's in tonight!"
Anti-nowhere League - I may well still have 'so what?' (:eek: ) on vinyl if I could be bothered to look!
How about a poll to see which is the least street-cred gig anyone ever went to?
Leo Sayer :thumbsup:
An ex-colleague admitted to queuing to see Acker Bilk.......

Re: I'm going to see McFly !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

And was it a night you'll never forget. I remember being abit disappointed with Van Halen.

Re: I'm going to see McFly !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

We've seen then Dammned loads. Stiff Little Fingers would play in Newcastle every year for St Patricks Day - first we've missed in years. Sunderland had just started having a big Punk festival, it was to be every year. That was the final hurdle to get Paul out here, he'd waited years for it to start in our city. At least he can see old Charlie Harper again on Easter Saturday.

Re: I'm going to see McFly !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Karen, Hubby has just told me the Subs are playing Newcastle on May 27th with the Buzzcocks.

Re: I'm going to see McFly !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Stiff Little Fingers, wow thats a blast from the past. I didnt even know they were still going. I used to love them. Jake Burns was a hero of mine in my younger days along with Joe Strummer and Mick Jones - unfortunately I never got to see the Clash:sad_smile: I would love it if SLF made ithere way out here. Unlikely me thinks!

Re: I'm going to see McFly !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

We never got to see the Clash either. Before we came to NZ the big punk fest in Sunderland had The Stranglers head lining, with the Damned, Wayne's County, Penetration, GoldBlade. The year before had the Dead Kennedys & UK Subs.
Last year when we seen SLF, Jake didn't look too good & was real twisty with the audience, walked off when the beer started to get thrown on stage.

Re: I'm going to see McFly !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

You would SO get on with my brother!
He is a walking encylopedia re the Punk years. He now lives near Cardiff and works nights at one of the Hilton Hotels. He often blags himself tickets to whatever is going on there as he also works agency at ST David's Hall. He is in his late 30's and by the sound of it, you may well have been in the same crowd several times :thumbup: .
MY Favourite top 3 songs of all times:
No more Heroes - the Stranglers
Olivers army - Elvis Costello
Reward - The Teardrop explodes

Anyone care to share?

Re: I'm going to see McFly !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Yeah me too - shame really. Thunder were brilliant - better than I expected. Certainly better than Van Halen

Re: I'm going to see McFly !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Well i'm going to see Dolly Parton on Tuesday In Manchester..Can't Wait :thumbsup:

Re: I'm going to see McFly !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

We're going to the V-festival in Chelmsford just before we got home. I managed to get tickets before they sold out. It helped that I was at home coughing and spluttering and had nothing else to do but log on to various ticket sites and use my mobile and house phone to try for tickets (put on hold for ages!).

Been to see far too many bands over the years. Loudest band: Motorhead, Brixton Academy. I couldn't do my job the next day as my ears were ringing too much.

Best band seen in NZ: Sex Pistols & Queen (and Tracey Chapman) :thumbsup:

Re: I'm going to see McFly !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Howard Jones was my first concert!!:o

Re: I'm going to see McFly !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

My first concert was T'Pau on their "comeback" tour for the third album!

Re: I'm going to see McFly !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Yazoo was my 1st, Kid Creole & the Coconuts my 2nd & Human League was my 3rd!!!!!!

I was 15 at the time & there was a load of us used to go with our Art Teacher (who was also a DJ) to gigs.:thumbup: :thumbup: Can you imagine doing that these days. He'd be locked up by now & I'd have sued the ar**e off of him :rofl: :rofl:

My last one was Robbie :wub:

Re: I'm going to see McFly !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Where did you see Robbie? On the Close Encounters tour?

That stage was just awesome. And he gets better and better every time we see him (we went to Knebworth and melanie saw him at Milton Keynes a few years ago)

Re: I'm going to see McFly !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Who, clearly only had and only has eyes for me!:p

(Did you see him in Heat magazine this last week out of rehab looking F.I.T!!)

Re: I'm going to see McFly !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

He told me he's not interested in you any more cos you're leaving these shores, so get over it girlfriend!!!!!!:mad: :mad: :mad: face facts, he's mine!!
