Who's your favorite band to see live?

I saw Sleigh Bells for the first time last night and it was fucking amazing. They got Hog Wild for sure

Motley Crue kicked ass
so did Alice In Chains
and Wolfmother
and Streetlight Manifesto.
I also enjoyed Bob Dylan

There are a few bands that kicked ass live really

OAR - sooo good live. If you haven't seen them, listen to their live albums. They jam hard.

Why would you ever want to see The Beatles live? They were still a shitty boy band back when they did live shows...

As for me I'd say The Flaming Lips were life changing.

Haven't seen them actually live, but I've seen videos and definitely Rammstein. Nothing else compares to their live performances.

Pretty Lights. my favorite all around musician/live act.

and Bassnectar. not the hugest fan of his music, but his shows are absolutely magical.

do not miss a chance to see one of them live.

So jealous you saw sleigh bells, I used to listen to them and I liked them a lot, but for me KISS was my best concert, back in the day I saw Drop Kick Murphys at the 08 Warped tour but I was too short to see, but they sounded sick

The Rolling Stones, went to their concert a few years back in Wellington.

Honestly, if you ever get a chance to go do it. It will blow you mother fucking mind, I can't describe how insanely awesome they were. You can't put into words how good it was.

Also, apparently Elton John kicks some ass as well. Going to his concert in Dunedin in few weeks time.

Saw slightly stoopid a while back. one of the best times of my life. They use fog machines and tell the mosh to coordinate their puffs to when they blast them all over from the stage.

really? I though Dweezil was a huge disappointment when I saw them play. His skill just doesn't live up to what he's trying to play and really is just riding on the name.


some memorable shows I've seen are
Dropkick Murphys
Flogging Molly
Return to Forever (with Jean Luc Ponty/Chick Corea)
The Wailers
Protest the Hero
Jeff Beck
Caravan Palace
many others.
