Rock/Metal Gig of the Year 2011 POLL

scudzilla

So all nominations are in, 30 gigs were mentioned but only The Top 10 can go in the Poll (Even though we have 11 as the bottom few were tied on nominations).

Poll will close at Midnight on New Years Eve

You get 1 vote each, so if you were at Rush AND Roger Waters you got a tough choice to make ;)

Results will open up when poll closes

GLaDOS

Volbeat @ The Academy

Rush for me, just pipping Roger Waters

Minstrel27

Roger Waters 'The Wall' @ The O2

Queens of the Stoneage

rednik

Not an easy choice but I go for Roger Waters,

Angron

Black Country Communion @ Vicar Street

Children of Bodom/Amon Amarth

Say Your Number

Black Stone Cherry @ Whelans

Black Country Communion for me with Volbeat narrowly behind.

Furious-Red

Devin Townsend @ The Aacademy

Black Stone Cherry for me

groovie

Volbeat @ The Academy

Rush 30 years ago would have been gig of the century, but now, gig of the year will have to do.

Aeternitas

Queens of the Stone Age @ The Olympia

I would've said Manowar @ The Academy but since that didn't make it's Primordial for me.

AMAZNIG Band.

lord lucan

Amon Amarth/Ensiferum @ Vicar Street

The Coop at the Point for me.

Mushy

Roger Waters 'The Wall' @ The O2

QotSA for me, pipping Rush/Roger. All great gigs, what a choice.

Volbeat @ The Academy

Rush .... just .. and I mean just .... pipping Roger Waters.

galwayrush

Volbeat @ The Academy

Rush for me, again slightly ahead of Roger Waters.

Just Like Heaven

Amon Amarth/Ensiferum @ Vicar Street

Alice Cooper at the 02.

Only because you didn't put Enter shikari in there though and the only other one I was at was Amon Amarth / Bodom, which was. Alright.

Jimmy Barnes @ The Olympia

Devin Townsend for me, epic!

That's cos Enter Shikari didn't get enough nominations in the nominations thread

I would emphatically disagree!

Considering the vists we had in 2010 (Guns N Roses,Iron Maiden, RATM, Megadeth, Limp Bizkit) we have had a very quiet year for rock and metal gigs.

I will say that we did have a hayday in 2005/2006 which included:

-Megadeth
-Velvet Revolver
-Anthrax (Among the Living Line Up)
-Slayer
-The Unholy Alliance
-Deftones
-Iron Maiden
-Soulfly
-Guns N Roses
-Mudvayne
-Metallica
-Avenged Sevenfold
-Alice In Chains.
-Dragonforce
-Tool
-Mastodon
-Trivium
-Motorhead
-CKY
-Down
-Him
-Sepultura
-Deftones

That period will be unrivalled. However, to my mind, this year was rather quiet from a metal/hard rock perspective, and as a result,I didnt attend one gig on home soil this year!

Reminder that poll closes on New Years Day at 23:33 (why i put that time in i really don't know!!)

I agree that 2010 was a great year for gigs - even the G'n'R debacle was at least interesting! for me this year I enjoyed Black Country Communion the most, i'm a big Joe Bonamassa fan. Here's hoping that 2012 has some good ones, I'm still waiting on The Sword to re-schedule their european gigs!

scudzilla

Voting closes at 23:33 tonight so get 'em in while ya can.

It's very very close at the top too :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Motley Crue

I wasn't on Irish soil in 2011 but I have to say, having seen a lot of these bands live in other venues, Volbeat was the band that surprised me the most and blew me away - and on top of that they're great guys

Fi H

Volbeat @ The Academy

There you have it
Hardly surprising really!

scudzilla

So Kiss won in 2010, Rush in 2011, seems the old boys are really setting the bar on live gigs

Fair point! But for me seeing Rush and Devin Townsend makes it an epic year!!
