January 18, 20179 yr Well the End is near. Sabbath's last ever gig in Manchester. Six of us are heading for an afternoon of steady drinking followed by 2hrs of Ozzy mayhem. I know of one other poster who is attending. Anybody else going ?
January 18, 20179 yr Got rid of the spare mate so back up to six as well now. Will look out for you on our pre-gig watering in manc.
January 18, 20179 yr I am by no means a Black Sabbath fan but when we did such things I had the opening riff of Paranoid as my mobile ring tone. It had to get changed after rocker types kept siddling up and starting conversations about the band.
January 18, 20179 yr I saw Sabbath in their final ever UK show at the NEC last time they did a final tour.
January 18, 20179 yr Author I saw Sabbath in their final ever UK show at the NEC last time they did a final tour.What year was that, i saw them the last time they played Download. Its was ok but not amazing ( poor sound ). Then 2 years ago at The Arena. I can honestly say it was one of the best gigs i have seen.Hopefully Sunday will match it. The other problem is getting Sputnik and Ashburner Street out of their pits on Sunday because they are at Southend on Saturday.
January 18, 20179 yr The other problem is getting Sputnik and Ashburner Street out of their pits on Sunday because they are at Southend on Saturday. Will they be taking the Wild Mice to Southend, or are they not allowed to?

I've seen em 2 or 3 times since the final show myself.Turns out it was the show recorded for the live album Reunion Edited January 18, 20179 yr by frank_spencer

Felt a right cunt went it went off during my English exam at 6th form.
January 18, 20179 yr What year was that, i saw them the last time they played Download. Its was ok but not amazing ( poor sound ).Thought the same. Still good to tick them off the list though.
January 18, 20179 yr Dave Lee Travis is playing Macbeth the same evening. I read that in a manc accent in my mind. Then giggled for about 5 mins.
January 18, 20179 yr Like a bit of Sabbath. But nah. Bands reforming never have the same magic. Kiss and Rainbow are doing the rounds soon. Only Richie Blackmore and his mandolin are original.
January 19, 20179 yr Like a bit of Sabbath. But nah. Bands reforming never have the same magic. Kiss and Rainbow are doing the rounds soon. Only Richie Blackmore and his mandolin are original.Kiss were brilliant at the Nynex but a bit meh when I've seen em at festivals. The only 'iconic' band I'm gutted about never seeing is AC/DC somehow been to one of their gigs or festival appearances.
January 19, 20179 yr Kiss were brilliant at the Nynex but a bit meh when I've seen em at festivals. The only 'iconic' band I'm gutted about never seeing is AC/DC somehow been to one of their gigs or festival appearances. First ever gig - NEC Razors Edge tour.

The only 'iconic' band I'm gutted about never seeing is AC/DC somehow been to one of their gigs or festival appearances. I was at the NYNEX for that Kiss concert. I'm not a big Kiss fan but that was one of the best concerts I've been too.
January 19, 20179 yr The only 'iconic' band I'm gutted about never seeing is AC/DC somehow been to one of their gigs or festival appearances.They were superb at the last download they did in 2010. They brought their own stage c/w giant inflatable Rosie and also their own sound system, that blew the main stage out of the water. They were loud, almost as loud as Korn at the apollo!
January 19, 20179 yr They were loud, almost as loud as Korn at the apollo! Cant imagine what that was like. Jesus. I tagged along to the offspring there around 2001ish. How there's not more fatalities in that kind of environment I'll never know.
January 19, 20179 yr I lost my big toenail in the pit after some fat sweaty mosher stamped on it. It took about 8 months to finally drop off before I could put my 'korntoe' on my Mrs pillow. I can still hear her shrill scream now

That's sooo Spinal Tap, amps going up to 11 cock waving.

They were loud, almost as loud as Korn at the apollo!No gig ive been to has ever been as loud as Motorhead at the Apollo. My ears were ringing for 2 days afterwards, and singing (well shouting really) along to all the songs fucked up my voice for a week.

I can still hear her shrill scream now As for pit wounds I got punched in the bollocks crowd surfing at Ozfest at the Milton Keynes bowl way back when.Fair few black eyes, busted nose and lips. Saw a guy dislocate his shoulder in the pit, his mate popped it back in and they bounced off back into the pit. No idea whether that was a regular occurrence for him but he didn't seem overly phased.
