FuzzyDunlop Posted March 21, 2020 Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 The Ramones. I got really into them when I was about 13-17. I was a massive Green Day fan & so it was natural. Whilst it isn't "the greatest ever cover" to me there is something magical about it & I prefer it to the already fantastic original. .. it's probably the strings. And the KKK took my baby away is one of the best 2 min pop songs ever. I wont hear otherwise 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
priest17 Posted March 21, 2020 Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 I dunno why I just love the idea of seeing these at Glastonbury. More so than their own gig for some reason. There's plenty of bands I've never seen that I'd love to more than these but when I read the title these guys popped into my head. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuartbert two hats Posted March 21, 2020 Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 I wish Lennon had lived, I can imagine him doing a headline set in 2005 which reminded everyone why he was the coolest Beatle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnomicide Posted March 21, 2020 Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 I really wish I'd seen AC/DC with Bon singing, also would have loved to see Sex Pistols even though many people will tell you they were shite live. Apart from then 2 I think I've been really lucky and seen just about everyone I really wanted to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney McGrew Posted March 21, 2020 Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 I wanna see Erasure play the Pyramid, seriously party central... tea time, early evening, set you right up for the night! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Jass Posted March 21, 2020 Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 I’ve been lucky to see almost everyone I’ve wanted to from the generations before me - Macca, Bowie, the Stones, The Who, Elton, Fleetwood Mac etc... The two never managed but would have loved to have seen are Nirvana and The Clash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avalon_Fields Posted March 21, 2020 Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 Bowie for sure, at the festival, or anywhere quite frankly. Nearly got to see him at T in the Park but he had to cancel. Of all the realistic acts I’ve never seen he is easily up there. The fantasy one would be Hendrix. I’m not complaining, I’ve spent my entire adult life seeing live music, despite that there’s always going to be some that got away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw the Sex Pistols 77/78 with Sid on bass , and yes they were shite My biggest regret is not seeing Bowie when I had the chance in 82/83 at the MK bowl 😭 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted March 21, 2020 Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 Fuck a Sid Vicious. I'm far from a punk kid, but the Matlock lineup Pistols are all live and kicking and, on the occasions when, they've played together, sound fucking 🔥🔥🔥🔥 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikkic Posted March 21, 2020 Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 I got into Bowie long after he’d finished playing live. Would have loved to have seen him. So him and Daft Punk. Which IS going to happen one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalopsia Posted March 21, 2020 Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 I was too late for David Bowie sadly, he's the one who I'll never be able to tick off the list. Other than that I've been quite lucky so far the rest on my list tour every now and again so I'm fortunate I have a chance to catch them.

FuzzyDunlop Posted March 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2020 Bowie is another for me too. Ssme as most people. Led Zep is another one. Re the Sex Pistols: My parents went on holiday together for the first time & went to a sex pistols gig. They didnt go for that. They went off to Scarborough & there was a sign on the front that said "world famous band playing tonight". The Sex Pistols were banned at the time. My dad said "it's either the sex pistols or someone shit", so they got a ticket. It was them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FuzzyDunlop Posted March 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2020 Ha ha. The Ramones are criminally under rated in my opinion. Seen more as t shirt fashion than a band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevans.900 Posted March 22, 2020 Report Share Posted March 22, 2020 I was listening to Life on Mars? from Glastonbury 2000 when I saw the post.. So another vote for Bowie. I didn't even hear about Glastonbury until 2010, so I've missed a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maelzoid Posted March 22, 2020 Report Share Posted March 22, 2020 There's not many I could have seen but didn't, but Bowie is an obvious one, although back when he was touring I was not particularly a fan of his. I would have loved to have seen Queen, Led Zep, Hendrix, Tom Waits, Talk Talk, or The Clash but I was not really old enough (or in one case alive) when they were touring regularly. I applied for Zep's London show in '07 but didn't get a ticket. I do however really regret not seeing George Michael. I always hoped that he would do the festival one day. I thought about trying for Kate Bush tickets when she did her Hammersmith run, but was not particularly a fan, just curious. In the end I thought that if I got a ticket instead of a lief-long fan, it would suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKOCF Posted March 22, 2020 Report Share Posted March 22, 2020 Missed The Stone Roses when they came back around in 2016/17. Ethiad must have been a special gig. Also, didn’t get into Neutral Milk Hotel till after they’d reformed and broken up again so them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
