Top Live Acts

[noumenon]

List your favorite live bands or artists... I don't care how many...whoever you think is noteworthy.

-In Flames (my favorite band, and always blows me away live)

-Alice In Chains... whether with Layne or Will their vocal harmonies always give me chills live.

-Machine Head...these guys have never let me down live.

-Coheed And Cambria... another of my favorites, I attended all four nights of Neverender and many other Coheed shows and they're always incredible.

-Rush... they're a fucking experience to see live. If you never have...DO IT.

-Dave Matthews/(band)... I had the honor of being at the Radio City performance which became the album. Every time I see him he blows me away either solo with Tim Reynolds or with the full band.

-Black Sabbath/Heaven and Hell... their stage show and musicianship live is always top notch. Hell of a stage show and atmosphere.

-Metallica... 'nuff said...simply because if you've never been to a Metallica concert you need to go.

-Any of Jack White's projects...White Stripes, Raconteurs, Dead Weather...I've seen them all live and they've all kicked major ass. Especially Dead Weather...really cool shit.

 

[Kizza]

Havent seen them, but from DVD's and what i've heard, Kiss and Muse can always put on a show.

Disturbed - Being from Chicago, they always put on one hell of a show, my favorite band too btw

Metallica - Yeah, they're old, but FUCK they flawlessly kick ass live!

Killswitch Engage - One of my favorite bands, amazing live, sound is always great!

KoRn - Jonathan Davis' vocals and the bass PWNS live, you have NO idea

In Flames - NEVER has let me down the three times I've seen them

All That Remains - Fucking amazing live, one of the best live bands I've seen in a while

U2 - Bono kicks ass, and live he makes it SO much better

Slipknot - Never been to a bad show, Corey Taylor is a vocalist god... love them so much, and I've seen them tour for each of their albums, and each time they got better and better

Taylor Swift - Yes... Taylor Swift... FUCKING AMAAAAAZING LIVE!

Paramore - So much better than Taylor Swift live... Hayley and co. put on a damn good show, and I saw them open up for No Doubt over the summer, and they killed them off the stage easily winning over the crowd! Plus I was like 3 feet away, and it was my 4th time seeing them too... such a great show! 7/11/09 ftw (free Slurpees too)

Kottonmouth Kings - I can't say much more than the time of my life at their shows

Insane Clown Posse - If you like getting drenched with Faygo and being with your family live... it's an experience of a lifetime... you are NOT a true Juggalo until you've seen them fucking live, guaranteed!

Tech N9ne - I've seen him 16 times live, yes, 16 times, in a four-year span too... I've seen him 5 times ALONE this year.... There's not much I can say except PERFECT!

Kiss is always really fun. I've seen them twice. Not a huge fan of Muse but I've seen them and they were solid.

Also yes, Paramore is amazing live.

Paul McCartney and Live and Let Die

Kiss - First concert ever, Wow thats all I can say, it was quite a show.

Ted Nugent - Gotta have love for my fellow Michigander.

Posion - Hate to admit it.

Skid Row - Come on Sabastian Bach is the man.

Cheap Trick - For there age, this dudes still rock.

Def Leppard - One armed drummer.

Nickelback - Back when they came out with the long road I seen them live and they weren't bad at all.

Three Days Grace - I will see them again.

Trapt - Chris Brown's voice live is Awesome. The white Chris Brown, not the black one.

Switchfoot - His voice is AweMazing live.

Behemoth - Not my style of music but they rock live.

Black Dahlia Murder, Whitechapel, Job for a Cowboy, Cannibal Courpse. - When I saw them all live at Mayhem it was 1 after another just bad ass perfomance.

Killswitch Engage - This guys are crazy live, no need to explain.

Slayer - It's fuckin Slayer!

Bullet for my Valentine - Matt Tucks voice live is BETTER then on Cd's imo.

Avenged Sevenfold - Not as good as back in the day but still bad ass.

Shinedown - His voice is the best live. Like you can feel the lyrics.

The Devil Wears Prada and haste the Day - They both rocked live and would see them again in a heart beat.

Tried to sort them by genre and when I actually saw them live.

I saw Marilyn Manson on his Anti Christ Superstar tour and since then I have never seen a better show.

It makes me sad to see how far downhill Manson has gone since then, but that will always be the most ridiculous show I have ever seen.

Yea glad you got to see a good show, I saw him live and he sucked. Idk what it was, I heard he may have been havin vocal cord problems but his voice just sounded sooo shitty. Everyone was just leavin durin his performance since he was the last one.

 

[Wordlife]

^oh yeah at Mayhem? I sneaked up to the pit during his performance... he wasn't that bad considering I really like Manson a lot

But I got turned off when he said "Nobody rocks the cock like Marilyn Manson" everyone was like WHOA WHAT!?!?

Manson on the Guns N Gods tour was fucking incredible. The crucifix made out of guns, awesome shit.

 

[straight_edge76]

I have to say Linkin Park is pretty kickass live.
