Ehem.......Queen!!

Tbh I'd rather have a british band be the first to play....perhaps a mixed concert with the best of British playing....^_^!

Maybe it should be a concert featuring Queen, Meat Loaf and Bon Jovi. This way Brian May could easily help Meat out during the live version of "Bad for Good". Now that would be some concert!

Obviously the first Wembley gig should be a British artist.

And what better way than to invite one of the most successful British acts of all time ever to perform.

Especially since they hold the record for the most number of concerts at Wembley and various sell-out records for Wembley.

That's right folks - Vote Cliff :p

... you can't have them playing on a cliff!

It should be a British act and therefore it must be The Rolling Stones

Should be a decent band... so Meat... Queen... or ya know... METALLICA!
Pudding

I'd vote for Queen, since Queen are a good English band and Wembley is English, it would be only fitting.

Really feel it should be a British band, so of the nominees so far, Queen and The Stones fit the category.

Although what are the chances on any of them actually being alive when Wembley is finally finished?
AndrewG
03 Jul 2006, 10:11
The Stones? Oh come on. Talk about being passed it.... !

Okay I'll settle for Queen as long as Meat is a guest act and does Bad for Good with Brian May.
Leah
03 Jul 2006, 20:14
I'd love Meat to open up with Queen playing support! :devil:

But I rekon in reality it'll be more likely that 'The Who' or Paul McCartney would be the first to play.
Chris
03 Jul 2006, 20:28
The Who would be a shame as they are not a patch on how they were.
Paul mcCartney I cannot stand. (along with the rest of the Beatles)

In 1989 there was a two night extrazaganza at Wembley with Cliff, the Dallas Girls, The Oh-Boys, the thingie twins and others. They should recreate that.
AndrewG
03 Jul 2006, 20:31
Oh my god Cliff Richard. Noooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!
You want a playback show? Might aswell bring Michael Jackson along then! :twisted:
Chris
03 Jul 2006, 20:47
I really hope you aren't criticisng St Cliff.

I would hate to have to mobilise the Cliff Fan Club Contingent that we ahve on here!!
Leah
03 Jul 2006, 20:51
Actually when I saw Bon Jovi a few weeks ago I was really dissapointed with their live show so I wouldn't want them to open wembley.
I'd love to see someone like The Darkness open up, hmmm I bet Robbie Williams might be a strong contender on par with Cliff perhaps?! :D

Towards the end of the tour Jon Bon Jovi had a few health problems. But he put on a better show than most at his age, the rest of the band did well too, Richie did well recovering quickly from his fractured or broken shoulder whicheva it was.

i do realise this is a Meat Loaf board, i have been a member for ages now, but this is the offtopic section which is used for things non meat loaf related, which is why i posted here. Also i know there is a few Bon Jovi fans on here. They were going to be the first to open it before the completion date for the stadium was put back and both nites were sold out. They were the band that closed wembley so i figure it would be good for them to open the new one, wheneva the dope smoking builders feel like finishing it.

If u signed the petition thank you very much, if u didnt then thanks for ur time anyways.

it was a long shot anyways.

Thanks for telling about jon's health probs towards the end of the tour, I didn't know about that. I think that might explain alot about the concert. :angst:

I saw them in Scotland (first of the UK) and they were woeful - that is when they were meant to be 100% physically. I saw them at the end of the tour (wembley) and they were outstanding. So its nothing to do with being 100% condition - when they were 100% they were poor - when they were less than 100% fit they were good - its about being consistant or more to the point being up for a concert - they appeared to have no interest in playing Scotland when I saw them. They didnt want to be there.

What concert did you see Leah - hardcore bon jovi fans posted that Hull (the last of the tour - why Hull?) was woeful too. Again, nothing to do with physical condition but more to do if they actually wanted to be bothered doing the show.

I saw Bon Jovi at Hull on the extended tour and they were knackered but still managed to put on a really good show and although for me nobody will ever be better than Meat these come a close second and so it should be between bon Jovi and Meatloaf to open Wembly

Yes I saw them playing at Hull and I was so dissapointed with their performance especially with them being such a 'big' band, Jon looked as though he didn't want to be there at all, his body language and facial expressions said it all. I came away thinking that Jon was just a good looking singer with no personality however Richie really surprised me and I'd rather listen and watch Ritchie perfom the songs over Jon, he seemed to have more passion in him for it. I don't think i'll be buying tickets to go see them again now i've been but thats just my opinion!

LMAO.

I don't there is much chance of us being alive at the current rate.

the manchester gig i went to was one of the best of the tour, the coventry gig after that was also gig even tho Jon Bon Jovi was suffering with bad hayfever, they may not of been 100% but the put on good shows throughout the tour, i dont think many ppl can do what they do. The manchester gig was the best gig i've been too, they jus edge out Green Day at MK which was also an amazing gig.

P.S they never played wembly, it was MK

Well that was my third time seeing them, and I've always been impressed with the show they put on, I love the music, and Jon and the band always seem to be enjoying themselves whenever I've seen them...

I'd love them to open Wembley, it seems only fitting considering they were the last band to play the old stadium and they WERE due to open it, if it'd been finished in time... :roll:

for anyone that wants to know Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora are planning on a new album (country) with duets with other country artist and also to give some local songwriters a chance to shine, something like that anyways. so there should be another album soon

Given they finished the last tour refusing to speak to or aknowledge each other, that would surprise me.

well they have been doing a couple of shows in the states and they are all on good terms with each other, reviews from the shows says they were havin a wicked time when they were playing a gig and jon and richie were interacting really well. i havent heard on the official boards about the tour ending on bad terms and them not speaking, where did you hear that?


also interviews that jon has been in have stated from him there will be an album between him and richie which will be a country record.
Chris

where did you hear that?

This months Classic Rock magazine and a reporter who was at the press jobbie after the Hull gig.

all i know bout what happened at the hull gig was that jon was in a foul mood? and richie did played something wrong at which point jon got frustrated and richie jus stuck his tongue out at him, something along those lines, also jon had slipped on the ramp at the gig apparently he has had a bad back for a lil while? im only saying what fans have said who were at the show. In the US the lastest gigs are going really well and they are on top form, and no tiffs in the band.
