2006
BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME WITH MISERY SIGNALS WAS INTENSE! BTBAM ARE THE BEST BAND I HAVE EVER SEEN LIVE.
THE LAUNCH OF THE NEW STAGE AT LE PUB WITH DDF/THE THREAT/TODAY OR NEVER/THE DEATH OF HER MONEY/THE KEEP WAS THE BEST FREE SHOW, AND PROBABLY THE MOST RAM OUT SHOW I HAVE EVER BEEN TO THERE..AND WENT ON TIL NEARLY 1AM..TOTALLY UNEXPECTED
SHATTERED REALM + KNUCKLEDUST RANK HIGHLY
AND THE VIBE FROM PARKWAY DRIVE/SHAPED BY FATE (@ clwb)
SOUTHWALES BENIFIT 2006 WAS OFF THE HOOK. BUT THE TURN OUT WASN'T THAT GREAT UNTIL NEARLY THE END OF THE EVENING. I WON THE RAFFLE ASWELL AND GOT SOME KILLA CD'S. I DID FEEL BAD FOR THE DJ'S. THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME PLAYING TO 3 PEOPLE AT A TIME.
SUICIDE SILENCE/SYLOSIS AND ABIGAIL WILLIAMS WERE ALL TIGHT AS FUCK, BUT THE VIBE AT THE SHOW WASN'T UP TO MUCH
THE SMILE I GET FROM ANY TWIST THE KNIFE SHOW, ESPECIALLY WITH MISUSE, DISPATCH, ELSID OR MLM MAKE THEM SOME OF THE BEST SHOWS ASWELL!
LOCAL BANDS HAVE IMPRESSED ME NO END THIS YEAR, AND IM LOOKING FORWARD TO WHAT THEY HAVE TO SHOW FOR THEMSELVES IN 2007!
played with ..... shai hulud, parkway drive, remember never and today or never that was awsome
been to
ummm ddf christmas party or nfg
Its hard decide with all the bands I have seen. some of the greatest gigs I have been to have been Iron Maiden at reading, Cooper Temple Clause the first time i saw them.. the pit was just incredible, a mix of rock with a bit of a dancey vibe.. was mad. Theres the Foos at Reading, and then theres Muse. With Muse there have been special gigs like the the Shepherds Bush Empire gig last year where only a 1000 people won tickets to go and hear the new material. As awesome as that was, seeing them at Earls Court 2004.. I think that gig stands out as the best gig I have ever been too. One huge finish to the year and the bands tour, going all out and being absolutly crazy.
My favourite gig was at St Davids Hall in Cardiff!! The crowd was awesome, the lighting and sound crew were awesome, and it just went awesomely! Love that venue! I had my own dressing room rather than a pub toilet for once lol!!

The best gig I've been to this year was on wednesday night...
Elsid, Twist The Knife and Circa Regna Tonat? It was packed and I loved every second...
There were a bunch of technical problems (mics etc) but it was off the hook...
I recommend that anyone go see these bands...
Elsid/Twist The Knife shows are always a must see
Peace Out Boy Scout

Best gig I've (we've) ever played is either with Irate/Blades Of Unity in Liverpool orJob For A Cowboy or even DDF/Desecration. JFAC crowd reaction was awesome but DDF/Desecration/The Keep was amazing because it was the first gig I have ever put one and it was packed out, and the fact they are some of my favourite s.wales bands. The best gig we'll ever play will probably be All Shall Perish/DDF/The Threat in March.
Best gig i've ever seen was Pantera in Newport Center in 2000 or Hatebreed/Stampin' Ground in TJ's 2002ish
Manchester Academy 3 when we played with Mondo Generator..
Or locally...maybe Tom's Bar with Haddonfield and Elsid!
OH ITS OF 2006 not like 95 or what not
neh
Best gig I've been to: Pantera, Newport....the best time of my life....handsdown
Best gig played: Sounds silly, but Matisse Music Venue, in Haverfordwest. Crowd was wild, and there are bars at the front of the stage to do some sick stage dives off lol....
Best gig as a band ........ London Hippodrome in front of 3500 fans of ours when we had a huge following ..in those days , way back :-)
Best gig been to.......... I think it was hard to describe what an amazing gig that Duran Duran's comeback at Wembley Arena in 2005 actually was. It still stands out ! And the women...................WOW !
ummm i think most likely Anti-Flag with Red lights flash at welsh club. That was bare time ago fair play!
Or maybe Kanye West that was a killer show.
Noooooooo It was James Brown at he Chillis in the stadium! Yes thats its! Whos with me?
Gawr & Carbine at the birmingham academy for gigs i have played.
and for gigs i have seen probably still the tjs all dayer with converge and send more paramedics. shit loads of broken bones and blooded noses...
Either Wheatus in Cardiff Barfly, Christina Aguilera in Birmingham NIA (2006), Jamie Cullum in St Davids Hall weren't bad either.
Best gig I've played is probably TOC with SaidMike, or New Years Eve (2006) with SaidMike at Studio Bar, or one of downstairs at Clwb Truckers Of Husk gigs...the one with the drum competition probably.
Most memorable gigs I have ever been to in Tom's have been
24th March 2005 - 2 days after my birthday went and saw S.K.W.A.D and it was so busy that night I was litterally queing up outside the building.
23rd March 2006 - day after my birthday saw Said Mike (think it was when they first started selling T-shirts) it was so over croweded upstairs you could hardly move, although at least this time I saw the support bands (think I missed Black Man's Pinch but that's mostly cause I turned up late). Kinda freakish how last two birthdays on the thursday Dane is playing drums and its overcrowded.
but the most memorable gig was 4th July 2006 US Band ArnoCorps played the only welsh date on their uk Tour and when they got to a song about The Terminator my friend Gaz jumped on stage naked asking "I need your clothes your boots and your motorcycle"
there's probably many other thousands of gigs I thought were great at the time but alcohole has a habbit of causing memory loss
