going to the manics o2 show in december. very excited about this as they are playing all 38 of their singles in one gig. also got tickets for alter bridge in manchester, kasabian in nottingham and walter trout in holmfirth which i'm very much looking forward to

also tempted to see adam ant for a laugh

listening wise, i was surprised at how good the new blink 182 album is, and also had a little listen to the new evanesence record

to broaden it out a bit how do you listen to your music nowadays? - cd, vinyl, radio, mp3, spotify, downloading? i'm a spotify premium account holder and hardly buy any music now, though i occasionally get some from the amazon store. no physical purchases anymore which i admit is a bit of a shame but i havent the room any more for loads of cds, records etc, i've enough old stuff as it is

Yes Manchester mate. I am happy with the Crue, as will bring me back to my youth!

Opposite for me; never been to Fibbers, get email/twitter updates from them as well as Duchess.
Duchess is about 100yards away, towards the centre.

Have to say I'm looking forward to see the Crue too, will remind me of my youth too lol and the hoilday to Florida when I went on the Rip Ride Rockit Coaster and chose 'Kick Start my Heart' and my tune of choice for the ride, excellent choice it was too

Can I join in,my favourite subject,even in front of rugby!
Off to see The Rifles at the cockpit Leeds tomorrow,Smashing pumpkins at Manchester Apollo in a couple of weeks time.And to the artist,I download,buy cd's and collect vinyl.

Going to see Stone Roses in Manchester next year, cannot wait, didn't get to see them first time round.

Also going to Shed 7 in Manchester in December, seen them many times before and they never dissapoint, they are fantastic live and I recomend anybody to go and see them.

Just stuck Pretty Boy Floyds 'Leather boyz with electric toyz' in the cd player at work

I might have wonder down to the piper on the 19th to see [iThe Beat[/i. Another great band from the 2tone era I loved but only Rankin Rodger and the drummer left from the original line up.
[iSound Effects [/iby the Jam currently spinning.

[iThe Beat[/i played at Withernsea Grand Pavillion donkey years ago.

We were there in our red Harringtons.

Kasabian Dec 8th in Newcastle for me

Going Airborn Toxic Event on Friday.Was at Cockpit last week to see Sound Of Guns.If you haven,t heard of them check them out. Great band.Seen them about 5 times now and keep getting better.

I've never been to the Cockpit in Leeds, what's it like?

While we're on about venues, I've just bought tickets to see Paul Liddell (Guitarist/singer/songwriter) on the 19th of November at Toll Gavel Church in Beverley. He's from Sunderland and has a few albums under his belt, a bit of easy listening stuff before moving on to Alter Bridge etc
