What bands have you seen live ?

[aether-x3]

Steps - Shh, I was young
Busted - ^
Fall Out Boy
Scissor Sisters

 

[TheJesus89]

Um...

The Barenaked Ladies
Eric Clapton
Jeff Beck
Gorillaz
The Trews
Smashing Pumpkins

And I guess Protest the Hero, although it was just awful.

Were they bad or do you just not like them? I love Kezia and Fortress, and I enjoy scurrilous, so I want some clarification here.

Also, I tend to avoid seeing live bands.
Not on purpose, mostly. Usually I can't afford the tickets, or I can't get any of my friends to come with me.

I like a lot of metal too, but I can't stand metalheads. Not that I can't stand people who listen to metal, but the long greasy-haired, constant black band shirt kind just annoy me and smell bad (usually). It's kept me from seeing some bands like Converge and Deftones.

A friend took me to see green day. Yawn. There's nothing worse then watching 3 40 somethings jump on stage singing about anarchy and being young. Besides that though, I've never been to another show.

Hoping I can get the money to see Minus the Bear, Thrice with La Dispute later next month.

 

[emeraldrafael]

I saw AiC once live. Not the old AiC, but the new one.

it was... meh. Duvall is nice and all, but he's no layne.

 

[Sandernista]

I saw the dead. Uh, aside from a few small things, teen open mike, jazz fests. I haven't really seen all that much.

 

[elkor420]

Metallica 3 times
Slayer 4 times
Megadeath
Anthrax
Deathklok 2 times
Mastodon
Overkill
Tori Amos
Chimeara

and various others who opened for these guys

 

[Shoggoth2588]

I've seen a few in my time:

Black Label Society
Black Sabbath (w/ Ozzy)
Cradle of Filth
Creed
Dimmu Borgir
Dir en Grey
Disturbed
Drowning Pool
Eminem

I think there may be more...I remember going to Warped Tour last year but I wasn't paying attention to the bands so that probably doesn't count. I also remember there being a ton of rappers at The Eminem Show (I think that's what it was actually; Eminem Show Tour)

 

[The Shade]

Were they bad or do you just not like them? I love Kezia and Fortress, and I enjoy scurrilous, so I want some clarification here.

A combination. The music was terrible - no sense of balance between instruments and vocals, so you couldn't even hear any subtlety (if there was indeed any to hear) as they played. The show was short, they did nothing to engage their audience, and in fact seemed intent on alienating them, and it was pretty clear they were drunk off their asses. In fact, the lead singer had literally pissed all over himself before coming on stage (and spent the first five minutes of his stage presence bragging about his urine-soaked pants.)
Plus, I just don't like that style of music, but my friends wanted to go. They tried to stay chipper and say it was a good show, but it was pretty obvious even they were disappointed in it.

 

[pixiejedi]

Maroon 5
The Fray
John Mayor
Matt Costa
Jimmy Eat World
Paramore
Coldplay
Drop Kick Murphys
Fly Leaf
Stone Sour
Offspring
Korn

And some other ones whose names I can not remember.

 

[ZZoMBiE13]

Drowning Pool with the original singer,

Seen them two weeks before he died.

They were from Fort Worth (where I live) so it was a big drag when that happened. My friend worked at a local radio station and had gotten to know the band pretty well.

I take some comfort in knowing that he at least got to live his dream for a little while. That is more than a lot of us get. So while it's a tragedy, at there is that.

We saw them not too long after they hit big. They were a pretty good live band. Such a shame what happened.

 

[Godhead]

Iron Maiden, Blind Guardian, Sonata Arctica, Amon Amarth, Powerglove, Nevermore, Ensiferum, Finntroll, Hammerfall, and I think one or two more that I can't remember. Man I love Jaxx. (Saw every one of them there except for Iron Maiden who I've seen in three seperate states.)

I used to go to see live music a lot quite a while ago, not so much these days. But back in my day probably the bigger acts I saw were -
- AC/DC
- Ben Harper
- Brad
- Coldplay
- Faith No More
- Garbage
- Guns 'n' Roses
- Metallica

- Pearl Jam
- Pink Floyd (my first concert)
- Smashing Pumpkins

These days probably the only bands I'd pay to go out and see live, but they never come anywhere near my country, are -
- Antony and the Johnsons
- The Antlers
- Arcade Fire
- Nicole Atkins

Every time I travel overseas I check concert listings to see if I can catch them.

 

[Naeo]

You've seen Sunn O))), Tool, and Neurosis? I fucking hate you.

I don't go to a lot of live shows. But, the ones I have gone to:
Train (many many years back, when they realeased their album For Me It's You); Needtobreathe opened.

Jonsi (last October). Mountain Man opened.

This Will Destroy You (this June; fucking RULED). Equals and John LaMonica opened, and it was awesome in so many ways.

 

[MikailCaboose]

Not many. And by not many I mean just Combichrist and Rammstein. Can't complain though.

 

[DanielBrown]

Not many. Metalhead as I am, I'm not a concert person.
Judas Priest
Megadeth
Testament
Children of Bodom
Trivium(I was intrested in Annihilator. Same concert)
Annihilator
Sanctity
Europe
Hellfueled

... I think that's all.

 

[Dominic Burchnall]

In order of gig and going on stage;

The Bad Shepherds
The Rival Sons
Queensryche
Judas Priest
Airbourne
Iron Maiden

And I'm seeing Motorhead in November.

 

[MurderousToaster]

I've only been to see Iron Maiden and AC/DC. Including their support bands Airbourne for Iron Maiden (who I thought were pretty good) and the Subways (who I thought were pretty rubbishy), that's only four.
