I wouldn't mind seeing Westlife or Bryan McFadden dead :)

[Ruairi]

Ruairi, saw Rory in Leisureland in, 1978 or 1979 - awesome. We even got to meet him after the gig - utter and absolute gentleman. I really miss him not being around.

[Neish]

The Doors
Yeah would of loved to see them live, also The Clash

McFadden is a bit like Fame he's gonna live forever but not in the public eye. Well maybe not the gobsh1te is a smoker ! :D

[Colie]

Pearl Jam. Have seen them in Indanapolis & Sydney, but wanna see them here, & soon damnit.

Placebo and Echo & The Bunnymen are my favourite bands of all-time, but as both are still going strong I see them as often as I can.

From past bands I'd love to see Bauhaus, especially since I missed their once-off reunion gig in California :( I hope they re-found the thrill and will decide after all to do a reunion tour, though very unlikely as two of the members (Daniel Ash and Peter Murphy) are starting a solo tour this month... Hopefully more Bauhaus gigs once their solo tour has finished...

and I'd also like to see Indochine (the one band I like that I didn't see live yet) and also, if it were possible to raise the dead, I'd like to see Joy Division. Hopefully no JD reunion with a replacer such as the new Queen tour with Paul Rodgers. With all the respect to whoever would take his place, but you can never really replace an icon such as Ian Curtis.

[Gerrit]

Oh yeah, a Virgin Prunes reunion gig in Dublin would be cool as well...

The Clash. I remember the day the dream died when I heard Joe Strummer was dead. I was standing in a Branch of Bank Of Ireland and my friend phoned me and I remember saying it to my co-corkers and no one knew who it was. Then one person turned to me in shock, told me they loved his songs. They esp loved "Summer in the City". The muppet confused Joe Cocker with Joe Strummer.

Apart from the Clash, I'd like to see Pink Floyd or Led Zeppilin or Jeff Buckley.

[IsMiseSean]

Simple Johnny Cash & Hank Williams

"Summer In The City" was by The Lovin' Spoonful NOT Joe Cocker ...kermit :D

[Gerrit]

Best punk band: The Damned. Dave Vanian's a goth god :cool:

Reminds me of a session in The Cellar Bar in the 1970s. A then girlfriend of mine was trying to impress us with her knowledge of Deep Purple. My mate, Monty, said to her "Katherine, that song "Smoke along the tracks" is a classic isn't it?" She agreed and was brutally slagged when told that song was a hit by Big Tom!! Remember him?? :D :D

[Anto McC]

Rory Gallagher at any stage of his career
Thin lizzy around 1980
Led Zep at the time of Led Zep IV
and Johnny Cash.

Saw the cover band Stairway to Zepplin in the Ambassador earlier in the year. Total letdown, real dissapointment. Hard to ever equal I guess.

[Eire06]

Sinatra, Martin, Davis, Bishop, and Lawford...
Coolest men that ever lived :cool:

Completely agree,Cooler than the other side of the pillow as the saying goes.

[fosterdollar]

From what i can think of at the moment:
The Stone Roses
Pink Floyd
The Stunning

From what's already mentioned, i would agree about:
The Doors - just to have seen the reactions they were getting from authrities, etc.
Rory Gallagher/Taste - Live at the Isle of Wight and showing up Hendrix must have been unforgettable

[Dublin12]

The Skatalites
Bob Marley
Lee Perry
Janes Addiction
Jimi Hendrix Experience
The Kinks
The Who
Nirvana
David Bowie
The Clash

The Stunning


I saw them in 2003 in Galway. Did they play in Dublin?

They played all over Ireland in the early nineties. Was mainly too young to have seen them and when i wasn't i missed them for one reason or another. They were veterans of Feile AFAIK. Could be wrong but i think 94/95 might have been their finalé. Haven't seen The Walls either but thier music doesn't come close to matching The Stunning's.

Thought they'd played Longford Festivals? I'm sure I saw them at one anyway....

Mine would be the Rolling Stones around 1973/4.

They would have done alright. Probably around '91/'92, in which case I would have been 9 or 10 so oblivious to their presence.
