Favourite concert you've ever attended?

[Deadlock Radium]

Taste of Chaos, The 13th of December 2009, Oslo Spektrum:
It went like this:
Maylene and the Sons of Disaster: 15 minutes, awesomeness.
Every Time I die, 15 minutes, meh.
Dead by April, 25 minutes, meh.
KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, 1 hour and 20 minutes, AWESOME
IN FLAMES, 2 hours and 30 minutes, FUCKING INCREDIBLY, MINDBLOWINGLY, MINDBOGGINGLY AWESOME!

Here's some short clips I filmed from the concert:

My fave has been Gojira with Carbomb. THe Chariot was there, but they don't count. Carbomb crushed anything that I've ever heard in metal for live shows. Plus they had the coolest light show ever, and they were all instrumentals because their singer had to go back home to work, lol. Gojira was just as good as their albums. I expected nothing less. Great night of metal, for the most part.

Tool and Tomahawk(Mike Patton's other other side thing, he's got about a bajillion of them) in Tucson. Bad-assed. I went for Tool, and then when I found out Tomahawk was on the bill, i 'bout wept. Not really, but it was a great show.

Fear Factory and Type o Negative wayyyy back when. Type o was touring in support of October Rust, and Fear Factory was only playing Demanufacture songs, which they still do, lol. Still a great show, and my first ever.

THe best individual live act I've seen was Mudvayne when they were touring even before their album LD 50 came out. I'm so glad I saw them then, and not later when they had phoned it in.

Enanitos Verdes

Syndicate 2010 in Dortmund, im going again 2012 if i got the cash

 

[SnippyWings]

30 Seconds to Mars in Cardiff, was amazing! Going back there to see them again in November

Me too!
I've only been two concerts, Lostprophets in Cardiff and Muse in Wembley on the 11th of September.
Muse were easily the best and had Biffy Clyro supporting them so they win.

 

[F'Angus]

Maybe cause I'm still amazed by it but Alter Bridge in the London Hammersmith last night. Such and Awesome atmosphere.

 

[internethobo]

Pink Floyd (technically only Roger Waters) concert a few weeks ago. it was pretty sweet!

 

[Kere]

I haven't been to many concerts but one I did enjoy was a Static X show that came around where I lived. Started to rain and they just kept on playing. It was awesome and the opening bads were cool too.

 

[chainer1216]

i forget what the tour was called, but it had Motörhead, heaven and hell (Black Sabbath and Dio) and judas priest. it was awesome. and then there was the Iron Maiden concert i went to recently, two hours of bruce Dickinson running around like a madman, so much energy, so much awesome.

 

[Lynx]

Nr 1 best concert: Depeche Mode, March 1st 2006. After their release of Playing The Angel.
My first and still best concert.

Second: Muse
Third: Coldplay
Fourth: Placebo

 

[ENKC]

Judas. Expletive. Priest.

The Metal Gods, my favourite band, and a live show that lived up to expectations. Better than Metallica, Iron Maiden, Megadeth or Slayer.

 

[goldfalsebond]

Hands down, Disturbed at Uproar festival. Stone Sour, Airbourne, and HELLYEAH were all there, too, just to make it that much better.

 

[rhoads1982]

I saw Maiden a while ago that was cool

 

[MRMIdAS2k]

Black Stone Cherry - Whitesnake - Def Leppard - Sheffield 2008

Whitesnake sucked, didn't look bothered at all, very "by the numbers"

BSC were the support band, and deserved Whitesnake's spot by a mile, capped with a cover of "Voodoo Child" that was ossome.

DL, in their hometown, took the goddamn roof off, plenty of eye contact with the audience, used the stage completely, and made sure everyone went home happy, not a person was sat down from "Rocket" to "Lets Get Rocked"

 

[Thrashgrinder]

Summer Slaughter 2007 on Toronto.. it was epic...

 

[WrathOfBanja]

Definitely GWAR. They arent really musically talented, but they put on a damn good show.

Last weekend actually. Saw Crystal Castles at Roundhouse in Camden, honestly it was the best I've ever seen them. Beats Latitude by far, plus HEALTH were supporting who were just insanely good live. For a electro band they put on such a good show, Ethan stands hunched over his synth while Alice sreams and writhes around on stage. She doesn't so much crowd surf anymore as she does walk perfectly upright on it. Seriously she's perfected it, it's just nuts that someone can do that at a gig. That's got to be the best thing about their gigs, the audience interaction. There's no bullshit chat or 'thanks for coming' on stage, she just gets right into it and spends half the gig crowd surfing. She even finds time during all this to smoke on stage half way through, plus she often takes her bottle of wiskey with her into the crowd and pour it in people's mouths. I caught up with her after the gig last Friday and she was so nice, I said she doesn't talk or thank people on stage but she's perfectly happy to once it's finished. She shook hands and thanked people for coming and asked us what we thought of HEALTH before leaving to go get more drunk she said.

CRYSTAL CASTLES!

 

[BlackStar42]

I've only been to one. Sabaton and Alestorm, Wolverhampton 15/10/10. And it was fucking awesome.

 

[unoleian]

Pink Floyd (technically only Roger Waters) concert a few weeks ago. it was pretty sweet!

Sigh....Roger Waters is not Pink Floyd. The Wall is not by Pink Floyd.
It is Roger Waters' The Wall, and was once performed by Pink Floyd...(I'm assuming that's what you saw, since that's what he is touring right now)
so, technically nothing, you saw Roger Waters. Also, with Wright passed on, there will be no more Pink Floyd. Ever.

Spoiler: Best concert Ive seen was Thievery Corporation and STS9 at Red Rocks this September. Technically, Thievery Corporation was supposed to be an opener but they're such a big name and put on such a kickass show Im calling them the first headliner. Was an epic night.

Crystal castles at reading this year
At the very front: Check
A constant fight to stand upright in a swarm of bodies: Check
Insane moshing: Check
Alice (the singer from castles) singing at you at one point: Check
Wearing a gas mask during and getting constant high fives, thumbs up, back slaps and helps up from being knocked down: Check
Blazing light show with pulsing music: Check

Amazing concert

Oh shit ninja'd! CC at Reading looked amazing this year, would've gone to that rather than Latitude if holiday plans hadn't conflicted. Latitude was still good for the most part but was seriously spoilt by some of the shits in the crowd. Grabbing Alice's tit while crowd surfing, he got the shit beat out of him by her and rightly so. "Grab my Tit, I'll kick you the fucking head!"
