Default What bands have you seen?

I was just talking to somebody on MSN about this before and now I'm curious to see what bands everybody on AFF has seen live.

I've seen,

Marilyn Manson
Korn
Fear Factory
Static X
Slipknot
System Of A Down
Grinspoon
Evermore

I've seen a few others, but none worth mentioning!

Jebus, ummmm, there's a few Big Day outs under the belt so the list is way bigger than I can remember.

Metallica (awesome, god that night ruled!)
The Living End (a couple of times, always great)
Foo Fighters
Grinspoon
NOFX
Unwritten Law
Reel Big Fish
SOAD

Still hankering for Tool to come back, still ****ed off that whatever slim chance of a Pantera get together is gone :(

here here! I nearly cried I was that upset when they broke up and then dimebag went and got himself killed, it was terrible!

I have never seen Tool, they are the only band left on my "Must see list".

Same here. They looked like they put on one hell of a show - who else has seen the video where Phil talks about the time they were playing a show and one of the bouncers starts some trouble, Phil stops the show and says to the bouncer "I believe you're a little outnumbered you stereoid freak p*ssy!", or the footage from the show in Russia?!? From memory that was Pantera: Vulgar Video, it's years since I last saw it...

Anyway...

The ones I can remember off the top of my head - some of which I went to because I got free tickets (can't say no to a free concert, even if I'm not a big fan and don't know their songs, as long as it's a live band, I'll be there)...
Metallica (Best show EVER! Support band "Horsehead" from memory were pretty good too, was suprising how apthetic the crowd were for most of Metallicas set...)
Fear Factory (awesome show!)
Midnight Oil (Hard not to **** myself laughing at Peter Garret "dancing" LOL)
Pearl Jam
Incubus
Roxette (only because my brother paid for my ticket, and that was a long time ago, LOL)

I wish I'd gone to see Pantera, Sepultura (back in the max cavalera days), and Offspring, oh well, at least there is still a chance of me going to see Offspring live...

When I was really into heavy metal I saw TOOL and Hatebreed, both of which were bloody awesome. I couldn't listen to either of them now, my tastes have changed dramatically in the last few years.

Last concert I went to was Pink Floyd Experience which is just amazing. Really, really amazing. I also went to see Acca Dacca (an AC/DC tribute band) in a bar a few weeks ago, they are excellent. The singer sounds alot like Bon Scott and the guy who plays Angus is awesome.

wow ford girl youve seen like everyband i like. the only concert ive been to was the 04 big day out where i saw metallica, they were the ultimate best there, they were awsome i loved it! all the other bands were average but.
i wish i saw this years big day out: Slipknot!!, System of a down!! god i wish i was there. what a pity about Pantera hey, ive only just got into them after the legend dimebag was shot (i am only sixteen) so ive only started to get into that music in the past 2 years. Does anyone have any idea who will be at the big day out next year??? hope there some good heavy metal bands that would be awsome!!! i say have a slipknot and SOAD encore!

Sh!t! Nice work Feathers!

BDO this year was pretty awesome, I was in the D-Barrier from John Butler Trio, saw Grinspoon, Slipknot & half of SOAD in there (left SOAD halfway through to FIND WATER and see Hatebreed). It was absolutely awesome.

The best was Manson though.

Deftones
Korn
Fear Factory
Soulfly
SOAD
Queens of the Stone Age
Slipknot

Tool is on the must see list as the last gig was supposed to be f'ing awesome.

Not seeing Pantera when I had the chance is the biggest regret of my life. Still mourning the tragic loss of Dimebag.

It wasn't too bad actually, Grinspoon was very tame. Slipknot WENT OFF. I absolutely loved it people were afraid of me, not the other way around hehe. The worst thing was being in the pitt for just under 4 hours, jumping around going nutts and not having a drop of water.

I got crushed seeing Hatebreed and slammed into a pole at Rise Against though. That was pretty scary.

I'd love to go to a U2 concert. Closest I've come is a band at the Orient who were playing U2 songs all night.
