Favourite live bands?

[Rob T]

to continue the thread who are the bands/musicians you've seen live personally?

myself i'm not really a big festival/concert type person but i've seen Oasis twice, Prodigy (although as mentioned in earlier post didn't get close and ended up watching big screen), Greenday, Arctic Monkeys, Foo Fighters, Tiesto. a few others i wouldn't normally care about like kaiser chiefs etc at the half a dozen festivals i've been to but i'd like to be able to name a few more big bands i've seen.

I seen ACDC at manchester , must have been last year now? - either way it was pretty awesome. There was a 30 ft blow up dancing rosie riding a train that "crashed" into the stage. Seriously good effects and effort had gone into the show

Awesome.

I spent one gig just watching Danny Carey. The guy is unbelievable. I thought some of the stuff on the albums must be double tracked, but nope cos he plays it all live.

Maynard does some funky stuff. On one tour he put a guitar around his neck but never actually played it... I read one review which mentioned him playing, lol

They have video screens which are always awesome, some bizarre stuff shown on them.

I think the best gig I saw them was Manchester when I was right at the front.

slipknot where freaking awsome too
