The best live act you’ve ever seen

That was one of the better Metallica shows I've seen, AIC were excellent - was weird how similar to Stayley that William duVall sounded. If I remember right the awful Avenged Sevenfold were the opening act.

RATM are consistently solid when they tour.

Queens of the Stone Age when they had their best lineup (Lannegan/Homme/Oliveiri/Van Leuwen/Castillo) doing this sort of stuff, were absolutely amazing live, saw them a few years ago and most of the set was self-indulgent garbage filler from the newer albums

Have to say I agree. Thought 04 was kinda meh.

It was Alice who opened first and Duvall was a revelation on the day. They only got bumped up because Korn had to pull out.

Got a pick off Jerry when he came down to the barriers at the end; it's only a cheap piece of plastic but it's one of my treasured processions.

Then we had A7X. :rolleyes:

I've never seen RATM or Queens live but that line up was killer alright. Castillo's a great drummer.

SOAD in London 2015 was my favourite though now I’m pissed off with them for milking the fans without giving us any new material.

I am insanely jealous.

Serj and Daron need to just get on with it.

It was just before their homecoming gig in Armenia and if you want to experience the quality check out the Armenia live set on YouTube it’s Outstanding!
I’d seen them once before at Leeds festival but the London gig was far superior no support just straight in non stop for 34 tracks or something!

Megadeth Ive seen a few times. Always were better than Metallica but Metallica as a 14 year old mini rocker just blew me away..

Yeah I was 13 seeing Megadeth, first gig. Some lad jumped off the balcony in the Olympic Ballroom and broke his legs supposedly.

Michael Franti and Spearhead. The energy at their gigs are beyond incredible. Michael comes down into the crowd and bounces around with us, hugging and high fiveing as he performs.

Primal Scream also tend to blow my socks off and leave me exhausted and sweating from lepping around. One year at Oxegyn in one of the tents was the closest to a spiritual experience I have ever had.

John Mayer was another gig that blew me away. I cried most of the gig because it was just so beautiful.

Been to hundreds of gigs, maybe even breaking into 4 figures now, since 1985, here's the stand out ones

In no particular order, really can't split any of them, if i had to choose 1 i'd say Metallica as was a fanboy and seen them 30 odd times now

Nirvana - Reading '92 Fcukin outstanding, before internet and all we talked about all day was if Kurt would make it here, he did, and it was special

Iron Maiden - Donington '88 First time they headlined the biggest metal fest in the world, capacity of 72,000, attendance of 105,000. Small band called Guns n Roses played at 2pm, 2 fans died in the crush. Maidens set was out of this world, then the next day dawned....

Metallica - Manchester '88 This tour was the one that broke them, and this gig, they were immense

Rammstein - Birmingham 2006/2007 I'd seen them at a few euro festivals very early in their career but never paid much attention, crazy Germans with fire, this gig in Birmingham was probably the best i've been to for sheer spectacle alone

The pogues.

It was/is a great gig if you knew the songs/lyrics.

It was just noise sometimes to folks who are willing to give it a go over years, Shane Mcgowan noise.

I feel sorry for those who missed out , there is something to be said about being professional/looking after the audience/paying public.

Acid Reign in McGonagles was up there for me.
