Bands/groups you've seen live?

i'm seeing them in December, just in case you needed salt rubbing into those wounds. :P

so far I've seen: KoRn (fun story: I was still kinda into them when I booked the tickets, was mostly apathetic towards them during the gig, and pretty much can't stand them these days), the Fratellis (absolutely wonderful live, and iirc this was just after they released their new album so much awesome was to be had), the Kooks (eh they were cool), and some old fogey bands at a weird festival that my 'rents dragged me off to one time. and that's it, apart from some classical stuff.

this christmas, as well as Sonata Arctica i'm also gonna see Electric Six which should be nice for a bit of lulz.

"IT'S MAH DESIIIIIAAAAH"
 
In chronological order;

Status Quo
Meat Loaf
The Fratellis
Kaiser Chiefs
Coheed and Cambria
Queens of the Stone Age
Linkin Park
Rolo Tomassi

Some Irish bands none of you have ever heard of.

My uncle's friend is like that, dunno the name exactly but when I looked it up it came up with a variety of agoraphobia or maybe a social phobia.

oh my God I just saw a DVD of them performing live and I want to see them more than EVER.

They're so adorable, plus they're the kind of group that loves talking to their fans :DDDDDDDDDDD
 
Streetlight Manifesto; best concert I've ever been to, at a little hole-in-the-wall place in Cincinnati.
Reel Big Fish and a smallish hotshot band called Tip The Van were also performing there. (Reel Big Fish was the lead act but Streetlight totally stole the show.)

oh shit I'm bout to drop mad names yo

Trans-Siberian Orchestra like five times or something they need to release that new album already

Machine Head, who was some generic opening act for Megadeth, who -in turn- were opening for Heaven & Hell, which is the name Black Sabbath now tours under, with Ronnie James Dio as the vocalist, that was one hell of a show

Pop Evil, who was a shitty opening act that had way too much pop and not enough evil, they were opening for a join concert between Whitesnake, everyone knows a song by them even if they don't know it yet, and Judas Priest, who I've seen a couple times now.

Been to Ozzfest a few times, it sucks now so I don't bother.

Saw Iron Maiden on their Matter of Life and Death tour, some retard made MCR the opener, and they had to play some UFO over the PA system to make the crowd less bored.

Caught Dragonforce twice and noted how they really -can't- play that well and scoffed like a proper snob.

saw Chickenfoot earlier this year, hell of a show

relatedly I've seen Sammy Hagar quite a few times, the man throws one hell of a party

saw the Pat Matheny group, which was pretty cool

I've seen B.B. King perform, and that was definitely the most friendly concert experience I've had

went to a show that had Frank Zappa's son, Dweezil, in a thing called Zappa plays Zappa. Steve Vai was there, it was quite the act

I've seen the Alex Skolnik Trio, not that any of you know who they are

saw Joe Satriani on his own and with Chickenfoot, still the best guitarist around in my opinion

saw Dream Theater live, doing their systematic chaos tour

I've seen Black Label Society a handful of times as well

bunch of other stuff I can't remember, I've been to a lot of shows

I saw them open for Megadeth and Slayer. I didn't list them because I'm not into their music, but I still wouldn't call them "some generic opening act". They're quite established, have a huge fan base, and have been around since the early '90s.
 
the makers
guitar wolf
various local shows

i don't have any money so i don't get to see much
i'm working on trying though
 
I don't really go to gigs haha. Which is silly because I mean hel-lo, T IN THE PARK WHY HAVE I NEVER GONE GOD.

I've seen Franz Ferdinand live! :B

I listed them as that because that's what they were

I've seen Chickenfoot too; terrible.

the problem is I'm such a sucker for Joe Satriani and Hagar's vocals appeal to my inner white trash that part of me likes them even if it's way below Satriani's skill level
 
Oh right I forgot a good one but instead of editing my post like a normal person I'm just gonna post again YEAH

Blue Man Group, twice, both times with the talented Mike Relm as the opening act.
