That takes us right up to festival season and i am praying that they play Glastonbury as they are one of my favourite bands and i am still yet to see them live.

most people only know of them through their big selling and award winning album from 2001 'B.R.M.C' but there is so much more to them than that and they have been consistantly making great music over the years that seems to go under most peoples radar.

a few songs fo there's you may know and a few you may not so you can get a feel for them and see how varied their sound is.

i'll be doing a lot of that tour, in america for sxsw in march - they have a gap in their tour for that which is a result! then prolly do most of the uk / some europe dates. still my fav band

it's all about salvation tbh

[.jay.]

i can only really do London and Brighton, really looking forward to the brighton date though as i love concord 2.

and i thought i had added salvation in my list of songs, but i got lost midway through posting them and lost track of what i had and hadn't posted.

is the new DVD worth getting?

[Ice Fatality]

I love them, they're very good live. Always had a soft spot for second album, which not many people seem to like, from what I gather. Six Barrel Shotgun's probably my favourite song by them.

[rexclark]

Excellent band, saw them at Leeds in 03 as they replaced The White Stripes.

[tazzyb]

love BRMC saw them at Leeds (cannot remember what year though lol)

Would be great if they were booked.

My favourite of theirs too, but qather partial to Howl as an album. Never seen live so would be keen to catch them finally this time.

[captain futility]

i was there for this performance



marvellous

as mentioned, the first album is superb, howl is excellent, and i am also very partial to baby 81

new album and a glasto date sounds perfect

i love Baby 81 and also American X: The Baby 81 Sessions as well as the screaming gun EP.

basically they're one of only a handful of bands who i can put all their albums on random and not skip any tracks.

though i didn't liek that Free Instrumental album they did.

[chrislibertine]

i will defo be at the liverpool date on that tour and a glasto slot would go down well with me

[When Jokers Attack]

Probably go to the Glasgow gig, never seen them but own all the albums - Would a great addition to glasto!

[godders1966]

Yes it would be good to see them again.

If half the bands that are being speculated on this forum play it will be one hell of a festival. Can't wait.

[glasto_mongrel_2008]

I've seen them a couple of times and i'd definitely go if they turned up at Glasto.  I saw them support Oasis at Finsbury Park years ago and also at Leeds festival, also now years ago.

Those Finsbury Park gigs were epic! I've seen BRMC on three occasions myself (but not at Glasto 2004 strangely) and would love to see them again - very underrated band!

Managed to get on the guest list for the Brighton gig as it turns out my friend is promoting it (he and his brother own a  few venues on the south coast and recently got in on Concord 2, he asked me if i was going and i said i doubt i could afford it and he said "it's one of ours i think, i'll put you on the guest list"

I saw him a couple of weeks back and he asked if i would like to make a day of it and said, "just play at being a roadie for the day, basically help set up do the sound check but really all it is is hanging out drinking with the band all day and after the gig, i've delt with them a few times int he past they're good bunch and you'll get on with them" "would you be interested in that?" nah sounds shit i'll give it a miss!
