mine would have to be 311... of course im a huge fan of thiers but they go all out live... long sets and far beyond the usual level of playing that most bands do live... sounds as good as or better than a studio album...
im sort of expecting a lot of slipknot and other "hardcore" bands to be listed, and thats fine... just describe them more in depth than "they rock!"...
also, what bands would you like to see but would be very unlikely?
and no easy answers like the beatles... and im wondering more about bands of the past, or like a certain era from a bands careers...
mine would be billy idol/gen-x and the beastie boys... i know the beasties have the 5 boroughs and a mini-tour to go with it, but i doubt theyll come anywhere near me, and i doubt theyll tour after this one..

i'd probably see Tool live if i had the chance, but theres been little activity on their part for the last few years
so it doesnt seem likelynext time dream theatre play in the UK i'll be there- now they do LONG sets- A Change of Seasons concert lasted 3 hours!! and they have no support bands

I want to see Trapt, Fuel or Nickelback live, considering they're my three favorite bands right now. They are a possibility though, so that doesn't really answer the second question. (O maybe Velvet Revolover too)
The ones I want to see live but never will - Steve Miller Band, ACDC, Gun N Roses and Van Halen. I don't want to see them old now, I want to see them as they were when they were younger and just rocked out, but it's too late for that now.
I would also LOVE to see Jim Morrison, Hendrix or Marley do a live show. They were probably some of the greatest live performances of all time. Wish I coulda seen them.

I am not really into No Doubt, but one of my friends is a promoter for a college in my town and she got me some VIP tickets and they really do have a great stage act.
For entertainment purposes only, check out a GWAR show. They suck musically, but you will definately be entertained.

Even if you're not a fan their live stuff sounds as good if not better than the record. Maynard James Keenan Really loves to play with the audience too between songs so that was fun.

Second a band I always hated with a passion until I saw them live and they put on one hell of a show was Linkin Park. I know everyone's going to disagree but they can put on a great live show.
Deftones, Metallica, Rob Zombie, Mudvayne, Old Limp Bizkit (before and right after 3 dollar bill was released), System of a Down, Marilyn Manson, Cold, Korn, Pantera and Godsmack.
That's all I can think of for now.

I have seen some really good bands that rocked, just didn't have the best stage show. I saw Nirvana twice, Pearl Jam (met Eddie Vedder), Bad Religion, Green Day, Seaweed, got in fight with a skinhead at a Bosstones concert, Smashing Pumpkins twice, all kinds of shows. To me it doesn't matter what a band does on stage as long as they can play. If they do cool stuff, its just a bonus. One band I think would put on a killer show and I have never seen is KISS. I think they probably aren't that tight musically anymore but imagine all the fire and explosions. That would be sweet.

anyway, best live bands
Korn
Disturbed
and for all them you cant be in a place with chairs, you have to have GA ticket, because they way they always get the audience going is incredible, being crushed against a railing by 15,000 screaming fans never felt so good
BTW, best korn songs live = Shoots and Ladders (bagpipes at the beginning, metallica at the end, it works) Somebody Someone, and Another Brick in the Wall (new cover from the upcoming greatest hits album)

Greenday kicks ass too
Went to that one concert with Story of the Year (they kicked ass as an opening band), Hoobastank (reason I went to the concert, they were amazing), PoD (damn pussies, they were up there so long people started booing...), Linkin Park (better than i though t they'd be but not too impressed).
I wanna see some real big fish just because they're so cool, or Elvis, but he's ded.
Post by: Psilocybe on August 11, 2004, 11:50:00 AM
now as far as great live bands go, Godsmack, Disturbed, and Slipknot all rank up in there very high. Godsmack is great with the way they work the crowd, then when they bring out the standing drum kit and the stage starts spinning and such, it's just awesome. they sound exelent live. disturbed i never actually liked till i saw them live, any concert that is going well enough for you to crowd surf for 5 min straight (not an over exageration either, man it was the best surf) is worth listening to, they also sounded great live. Slipknot is jus tdownright insane, when you listen to their cds and you hear some of the guitar and drum solos you think man that's some good drum/guitar playing, but then you see them live and realize it's not a solo at all, but 2 people playing 2 different parts of 1 thing, and flowing together seamlessly. to have 9 people all up on stage working together and comming together and sounding as great as they do is just, insane.
actually i can't believe that i managed to forget system of a down in that mix, their stage presence is just so full of energy, surge's voice is insane, dave's guitar solos are definately something to see, and the energy from the crowd is rediculous.
i have also seen some other bands that i love live, but that doesn't mean they are nescisarily a great live band.
36 crazyfists, ill nino, kittie, adema, thine eye bleed, hatebreed, korn, etc etc (mind is too dead to think any more, but i've seen lots of great bands live, and lots of bands that most would assume would be good because of their cds, but live they just plain blow ass)
baner: i don't nescisarily like story of the year or any of that sort of music, but i do have to say they are very good live, their guitarist that does all that guitar spinning round the back and rolling on the floor and such while he's playing is insane, and the whole band is so full of energy, though i don't like their music, i will admit when bands have talent and they are good at what they do, i don't rate bands as being good or bad just because i do or don't like them but rather as the skill they have

I seen offspring a few years back when Americana came out and it rocked. I met Orgy believe it or not at a local restrauant that my sister was a waitress at and she was there waitress and got 3 tickets and 10 bucks as a tip And some other band was there but it was a no show I can't remember the name it was like Fat Pig or something like that. But, when I went to see Orgy that was pretty badass. MY uncle went to A Perfect Circle concert and he loved it so I want to go there. And I have heard CKY do some crazy shit at the concert so that would be pretty bad ass to see them.
I have seen
Offspring
Orgy
Linkin Park
D12/Eminem, JoJo and few others in concert as well (I went to the B96 Bash and they were there I had no idea who was playing.
Also would probably like to go to a Tool concert or if Rage against the machine was still together def. them as well.

Best of all for sheer performance value is the roots or the Hives, ive seen them twice and I dont really like the albumns its just the peformance is electric.
Post by: feflicker on September 08, 2004, 12:42:00 PM
I have seen Linkin Park 3 times live, and I must say they are great live. I was also one of those people who listened to them occasionally, but after the live show I listen to them regularly now
I must say my responses may be jaded though, as I am a musician and I rate based on a plethera of factors!

After that, it would be:
Dropkick Murphys
Flogging Molly
Anti Flag
Tiger Army
Coheed scares me.
But Bad Religion was the headlining band on warped, so EAT IT.
Seeing them again on my birthday here in DC.

heh.. ticets were 55 USD for seasts and 75 USD for floor... BUT
your seeing 2 MULTIPlatinum selling bands.. that have no problems selling out every show on their tour on their own.. but they have joined forces.... and tickets to a godsmack show are usually ~35 USD.. so for 20 bucks more you get metallica... and trust me.. they DONT disapoint... godsmack plays for about an hour and 10 minutes.. and are an amazing live band.. and get the crowd going nuts... then metallica comes on.. and plays for 2 and a half hours (find me another band that plays that long) and totally kicks the crowds ass..
the intro to One is INCREDIBLE.. so much Pyro... explosions.. fireballs.. fireworks.. fires... the light rigging overhead catches on fire.. then it all explodes and the shit falls down close to the stage.. its awesome...

I'd like to see either Vader or Six Feet Under in concert, but I doubt I'd ever see Vader unless they do another American tour and stop in Chicago or Milwaukee (they're a polish speed metal band), and I have no idea what SFU is up to...oh well, I'll just try to hit up Ozzfest next year.

Saw Pearl Jam June '03 and that was incredible. I've been a fan since their first album, and been denied tours for countless reasons. But it was worth the wait. They closed with The Who's Baba O'Reilly, and I was screaming "Teenage Wasteland!" for weeks.
Saw Beck live in my college Student Center with less than 500 other people. I can't describe that... What a musician...
In '96 I saw DMB and Blues Traveler the same night in the HORDE tour. Talk about a night of phenomenal musicians!
Saw U2 in 97, and will definately see them again next summer. They are not only timeless musicians, they put on a SHOW that assaults your eyes as well as your ears and makes you feel like you're alone with them, despite being packed in a stadium.
Post by: GeraldTheModest on October 29, 2004, 12:28:00 PM
Joy Divsision live would be amazing.
Or I could see Godspeed You Black Emperor, Explosions in the Sky, or the Flaming Lips live.
