What bands have you seen live ?

My favorite of the Punk Goes Pop ones would have to be We Came As Romans version of My Love

 

[someonehairy-ish]

Also saw Guns N Roses at reading, but they were terrible, as was most of that festival. Also got trapped in the fecking Paramore crowd for ages but i wouldn't call that 'saw' so much as 'tried to escape from.

I saw them at Leed's a good few years ago, they had "Bucket-Head" as their guitarist at the time. Just woeful.

I'm surprised at that, Buckethead is a ridiculously good guitarist ^ ^ probably my favourite one after Tosin Abasi. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTsi3g5s-zs&feature=related
or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjzLyIZNa58 - just a couple from the top of my head, but he has about 20 albums and all of em are bloody good.

Honestly, the band was on form at Reading but Axl wasn't. He's the only original member left and he was the one ruining the songs. Also they got onstage an hour late...

I wouldn't say the "just woeful" was directed at "Bucket-Head", but as the year escaped me it was easier to point out which guitarist they had at the time as a frame of reference. Axl was also late, berated festival staff as he was told his set would have to be cut short and went on to debase the majority of his bands hit's.

That whole bit about Axl sounds depressingly familiar :/ the crowd at Reading was getting pretty close to rioting by the time they acually got onstage. And then we were treated to the sight of a walrus-like old guy's belly for an hour before the staff cut the power.
Meh.

Welcome to the escapist btw ^ ^ we like ranting here.

Wasn't a huge fan, but the tickets were free.

Had the chance to see Muse live, but it was right after they released their most recent album which I absolutely despised, so I passed up on it.

I went and saw em anyways and it was worth it. The new album aint bad live, Matt does most of it with a doubleneck guitar which is just damn cool. And the exogenesis thing is powerful as hell too.

naw, I see them at regular concerts, though I saw Zombie and Lamb of God at Mayhem fest.

 

[Nightmonger]

Well Im not much of a live gig person I like to enjoy my music without a backing track of screaming and whooping usually the only notable band I have seen live is snow patrol and that was just me and my aunt in the room with the band no one else it was pretty cool

 

[LoFr3Eq]

I've seen quite a few, but I am most proud of see my favourite 3.

Metallica
Iron Maiden
Rage Against The Machine

I'm glad that by 22, I saw all these bands.

 

[Death-Jester]

In order of seeing them:

Evanescence
Coldplay
Dead Letter Circus
Muse
Linkin Park
Deftones
Birds of Tokyo
John Butler Trio
Wolfmother
Iggy and the stooges
Rammstein
Tool
Trivium
Disturbed
Wombats

All were awesome, though Rammstein easily had the most intense show! Sure other acts had energy and fire (if not as much) but nowhere else have I seen a frontman mount a very phallic looking cannon and fire foam at the mosh XP

 

[Zinaxos]

If I count a DJ as a band, and I also count a rave as a concert then I have seen Zeds Dead live, and Mr Tools live. Both amazing.

I listen to that song way too much. I really like We Came As Romans, however their singer is not good live at all but the music and screaming make up for it.
