Jonsi/Sigur Ros put on the best shows I've ever been to. The stage and lighting effects are amazing.

by **Sacred** » Mon May 23, 2011 12:10 pm

Best:
Iron Maiden (more energy and precision live than most bands out there half their age)
Sevendust
Edguy
Nightwish (old singer Tarja)
Sonata Arctica
311
Rush

Worst: Emmure, P.O.D, Drowning Pool (didnt see these by choice, but were at a festival of some sort.)

I've seen Minus The Bear twice in Seattle and they are some of the nicest guys I've ever seen. They came out and brought beers to the opening band and shook their hands and when they were on stage the opening band came out and returned the "favor." They just seem like a fun group of guys. Their sound is really really clear live too.

Well, since you're going to see a band perform, it would seem obvious how one would go to see the abject noise produced. I'm sorry your life is built around pedantic questions common to colloquialisms I'm using. Sorry you are desperately trying to prove you aren't a mouth-breathing nematode.

Going to see Neil Young here in about 6 hours, it is going to rock. I will throw him on the list of people I want to see before they get too old to tour. Hopefully he still has a voice.

E Portland. I'm urgently trying to take as many upper division classes at PSU as I can before I go full time at UPS and what not. We used to LAN up here a bit, my brother and I, back in 2005. Neither of us play dod any more. I went through a pubbing frenzy a few months ago but realized that avalanche could only be fun for so long.

Gabriella's guitar wasn't hooked up right, so Rodrigo took requests, he played Wish You Were Here and when he got to the solo he used a beer bottle has his slide. it was amazing. they play flamingo rock.

Silversun Pickups tell great jokes in between songs, oh and they are great live.

Don't listen to Flight of the Concords before you see them, it's almost all the same jokes. I got lucky because I intentionally didn't look them up before I went.

Porcupine Tree, if you love prog rock you will love their shows. Dream Theater is the same way.

I saw the Mars Volta a few years ago, soooo much sound, it was hard to even understand the music =[ I love the band so much too.

I saw Rodrigo y Gabriela at some outdoor theater in Eugene. It was a pretty awesome show.

I had tickets to a Silversun Pickups show, but my cunt of an ex had some drama that prevented me from going.

Years ago at their height I saw Slipknot, Mudvayne, System of a Down, and Rammstein in concert. I was a huge fan of the first 3 and my buddy that I went with was a huge Rammstein fan. It takes a wierd kinda person to be a Rammstein fan to begin with, but their show was fucking awesome. It was at The Pond/Honda Center in Socal where the Ducks play, and the sold out venue of probably 30,000+ people just went nuts for the Rammstein show. They played all their big songs: Feuer Frei, Du Hast, Zwitter, Sonne, etc.. and the show was just very well executed. High energy, cool pyrotechnics, sick and twisted sado masochistic shit on stage, good interaction from their singer, it had it all.

Worst show was probably Napalm Death at the Galaxy Theater. Like someone else said, it seemed like the entire band was just going through the motions. On top of that their sound engineer sucked ass and everything sounded like shit.
