2) Queen + - saw Q+PR once
3) Elton John - saw him 3 times
4) RUSH - saw them 14 times so far, plus will be seeing them in July

Only bands? No solo artists? If so:
Blink-182
+44
Extreme
The Eagles (even without Fingers)
Iron Maiden (done)
Green Day
Backstreet Boys
Guns 'n' Roses
Yes
Platypus
Kansas
Def Leppard (well... if they play mostly covers, otherwise I wouldn't be interested)
Boyzone (Stephen was good, but I liked the new album and I think Ronan's the best one)
Asia
Chickenfoot
Of course, I'm only counting those that still exist or could theoretically return with their original (or most instrumental) members. That means no Queen (no Fred no Queen, no John no Queen), no Beatles (no John no Beatles, no George no Beatles), no Zeppelin, no Pink Floyd, no Bee Gees, etc. As for ABBA... I prefer to remember them as they were - I wouldn't like to see them in 2010, with decayed voices and Agnetta's breasts pointing in the wrong direction. Not to mention the fact she's already a grandmother makes it all quite unsettling. For the same reason I wouldn't go to see Bangles in the present.
In the case that all the artists would be still alive, I'd love to see
1) Queen
2) Queen + Paul Rodgers
3) Metallica
4) Black Sabbath
5) Heaven And Hell
6) Clash
7) Sweet
8) Buzzcocks
9) Deep Purple
10) Beatles
11) Led Zeppelin
12) Brian May Band (with Cozy)
13) Rainbow
14) Apocalyptica
15) Sex Pistols
I am going to choose artists as well as bands
Queen
Elton John
George Michael
Bryan Adams
Mike & THe Mechanics
Take That - sorry!!!
Bon Jovi
REM
Kings of Leon
Duran Duran
Def Leppard
Prince
Billy Ocean
Aretha Franklin
U2
I genuienely can't think of 15 bands I'd like to see.
I'd love to see an early Queen gig.
A Daggers gig again would be nice.
Maybe Bowie... Maybe Sparks... That is honestly about it.
I'll stick to my musicals!
1 - Queen
2 - Led Zeppelin
3 - The Who
4 - Rainbow (with Dio and Powell)
5 - Blind Guardian
6 - Status Quo

9 - Van Halen
10 - RHCP
11 - Iron Maiden
12 - Evanescance
13 - Rush

15 - Metallica
I have a doubt about bands below 7.
-Queen with Freddie
-Van Halen with Sammy Hagar
-Sammy Hagar and the Waboritas
-Brian May doing a solo show (allthough I saw this twice)
-Rainbow with the classical DIO / Powell line up
-Rush

Saw Paul Stanley's solo tour in 1989.
Saw Paul Stanley in "Phantom Of The Opera" twice.
Saw Ace Frehley solo 6 or 7 times.
Saw Peter Criss solo twice.
Saw Union three times.
Saw Bruce Kulick and Eric Singer jam once.
Met Paul Stanley twice.
Met Gene Simmons twice.
Met Eric Carr once.
Met Vinnie Vincent once.
Met Mark St. John once.
Met Bruce Kulick 6 or 7 times.
Met Eric Singer 4 times.
I went to see Alice Cooper for the first time last year and it was amazing...I'd love for him to come back soon or any where near my area. I'd see him over and over if I could.
I desperately want to see Rammstein....which is difficult since I live in the USA. I really hope they come here at least once before deciding to retire, even though I know they would be really limited in what they can do performing because of strict codes here.
If Freddie was still around would love to go see Queen.
Would love to go see Korn!
And right now...those are my four biggest ones. There are some smaller bands like Five Finger Death Punch that I know I will probably see in the near future, I don't think they are quite big enough by my standards to make any list though.
