Best Live Band

[LESStar58]

Oh I see,

On a "local" level i would say Melbourne psychobilly/hardcore/punk act Blacklodge Sounds (used to be called Kingpin 440)....

Band's playing is tight as a drum with awesome songs!

 

[Briza]

Best was Prolly Slayer

have seen

Sepultura
Deicide
Napalm Death
Cannibal Corpse
Cradle of Filth
Kreator
Slip Knot

[Twizzle]

best band I ever saw live was Led Zepplin

the best live Aussie band for me is Living End

 

[choc_soldier]

jesus christ if The Living End and Area 7 are the best you can come up with as Best Live Band in Australia you need to see more music...

That was aimed at me! :lol:

I don't go to many live acts... 2-3 a year at most.

 

[Alex28]

Another great show i saw was 'The Bens' a few years ago - Ben Folds, Ben Lee and Ben Kweller. They played some solo stuff each and came togeather at various points to do some covers (including a brilliant 'I Touch Myself') and some new stuff. Awesome stuff. As it was at the Enmore, you could also get up really close to the stage as there were no barriers or anything - i was at the front and could touch their shoes!

The Mars Volta -- Metro 2004

 

[Trollhammaren]

1. Metallica, Syd Ent Cent, 2004
2. The Mars Volta, Metro, 2004

Then there's a lot of daylight. These two bands were just miles ahead of any other bands I've seen from a live perspective.

I've seen plenty of good live bands over the years but I won't name them all. Some faves include: Gospel of the Horns, Portal, Strapping Young Lad, Sepultura, Opeth, Fantomas, A Perfect Circle, Dillinger Escape Plan. List could go on...

 

[carcharias]

I remembered another few...how could I forget theses two and both at the same venue

Pearl Jam
Gun n Roses

plus I saw Izzy Stradlin and his band ( what ever they wre called)

Painters and dockers
Tism ( I didn't like them...just not my go)

 

[Floods]

Best live concert I've been to would be Megadeth.

So you would have seen Skid Row too?

"I remember you!!"

 

[carcharias]

yeah I did..and Rose Tatoo.
Skid Row threw beer into the crowd...this upset poor axel.

no beer allowed.

 

[HevyDevy]

Axel has a few issues - he said about seven years ago he would be releasing a new Gunners album (with him being the only remaining member) but of course we're all still waiting. I can't imagine it being any good.

Sydney showground

the stage was about 40 metres from the crowd who were on the hill behind the fence

Zep entered the grounds in 4 separate white merceded benz

when they started playing, we all jumped the fence and charged at the stage (roughly about 40,000 of us) security could not hold everyone back so they just let us go and we sat right in front of the band, about 5 metres from the band

no idea what year, late 60s sometime, I was still at school then

 

[carcharias]

they filmed that concert..Ive seen footage on rage.
I met a bloke who said he caught a drumstick from it.
