Was ace them days. Bristol actually attracted top bands back then. Remember The Scorpions, UFO, Girlschool, Maiden, AC/DC, Motorhead, Saxon, Def Leppard, MSG, Waysted, Uriah Heep, The Cult, The Cure, tons of others.
Going to annoy me know trying to remember others.
Chinese Democracy is alright tbf, has a few good songs on there.
Couldnt get in to it at all... Use your Illusions are epic!
You're listing like half my favourite bands! I've seen the ones I mentioned all in the last 4-5 years though, Bulgaria is pretty blessed with oldies coming over. Manowar love us.
It's so great, that Scorpions decided to come twice for their "last tour"...
Had tickets for Maiden at Sonisphere, but they pulled out last minute and Saxon, Priest, etc, were in instead.
And same for the annoyance - on that same day I actually saw Slade as well! lol Good times, hoping I'm in Bulgaria next summer and there are some good bands!
Can't beat a bit of that. I opened up more to the Democracy when I saw it live tbf - This I Love and the title track are cracking if you give them a chance...
Also definitely finding my place in this thread, grown up with classic rock (one of the only good things my dad's done, like, to introduce me to them) and then got into thrash metal, which had it's peak in the 80s and 90s... Older music was boss, very few bands make it like that anymore.
I was/am into things like Rage against the machine, Pantera, Hatebreed, Sepultura etc etc.. A relatively new hardcore band I found a while back called The Gallows are very good.
Give this a whirl.. A few listens through and I was hooked.
Oh I love the "harder" things as well - Pantera and Mastodon are one of my favourite bands, but hard rock has a special place in my heart, you know?
For anyone who likes AC/DC -

Bristol had a venue called The Granary, mainly up and coming rock bands played there. So in those days, pretty much every band played Bristol when they made it big. But in the 60s & 70s, probably every band in England played The Granary. Was superb.
*heads to google*

Click on "The Club" tab, and every band that ever played there is listed. Guarantee the list of bands from that era not listed will be quite small.
Nice! I love reading/hearing about stuff like that, Foxy (I think) also had a few stories about the Pistols and all that. Top stuff!

Was a legendary place. Just round the corner there is a pub that is world renowned as a Jazz venue, The Old Duke, in the docks was a boat that had bands on every night as well. Just brilliant for music Bristol was back then.
Bob Dylan Live 1978 Blackbushe Festival - YouTube
The "Picnic" at Blackbushe 1978
Drove down Friday and went to a village boozer near George Harrison's place. After closing time parked up along a road near his place and got the tents out and kipped in some woods.
Stonehenge was brilliant, free festival then on to Glastonbury and bunk in over the fence.
Those were the days my friend we thought they'd never end.

The Reading festival throughout the 70s and saw some brilliant bands. Knebworth was huge Stones, Pink Floyd headlining. The Liverpool stadium was the best place in Liverpool to watch bands. Had a really soft spot for Wishbone Ash and saw them at the stadium. Brilliant.
