Best live band???

The Showdown. Bar none the best live performance I've ever seen. They don't play any 2 shows exactly the same way. Maylene and the Sons of Disaster are pretty amazing live as well. Besides those, though, I think the best live shows I've seen have been mostly local banRAB from my area. Erabracing Goodbye kill. Injun Joe are amazing, as are A Candlelight Massacre, The 7 Method, Narallis, Unending Blame, Dathan, and Bloodline Severed. Loxstep were good while they lasted. Black Rose Mourning are pretty amazing. Chocha Loca are great blues rock.
 
Haha all I was showing is that even without the visuals back in the early days, they still had something going for them, that video is pure energy.

And it wouldn't really be a post of mine if I didn't tell you all to stick this in your browser and crank it.

Yep me too, seeing them in Dublin though. Its gonna be one hell of a gig. Best live banRAB i've seen are Metallica, Nine Inch Nails and Foo Fighters.
 
seconded- gogol SHRERAB live... i was going to say Primus- i can't even imagine how awesome it would have been to see the tour where gogol opened for them...
 
I saw the Smashing Pumpkins several months ago, and they completely blew me away. I was amazed. Billy Corgan has such a unique voice, and it totally completes the band. They have been around for a while too.
 
KISS - Love or hate their music, it's ONE HELL of a show.

Black Crowes- Never seen another band play blues in E for 40 minutes and hold my attention.

Oasis- Very high marks for live playing, really rocked. But nothing to watch. Not even a good light show.

Tom Petty- I saw him on the 'Echo' tour in Toronto. Perfect outdoor show, hit after hit song, lying on the grass smoking J's. When he did the 'Full Moon Fever' era stuff, he had a big lighted chest on stage he took that felt mad hatter's hat out in ripped into 'Runnin Down a Dream'. What a show.
 
tool is amazing live. especially with the light shows and amazing vocals.
they sound just like they do on there albums.
its so amazing and worth every cent.
 
I don't really like NIN but I kind of want to see them live because I've heard they're amazing live from a variety of people, some who weren't even NIN fans and it makes me really curious as to what it's like.
 
some people say that the lightshow at a tool performance takes away the excitement of the show. i dont get that. thats what i've heard. its like...wow. get a life dude.
 
Nine Inch Nails is the greatest live band ever. PERIOD. I've seen them 4 times and every time they blew me away. I've never seen a show were spectacle and the music molded so well together.

**** it, I'm gonna post a bunch of live **** from them:


YouTube - Nine Inch Nails - Wish: Live, DTS 5.1 Surround Version

YouTube - Nine Inch Nails 'March of the Pigs' ((Live from AATCHB))

YouTube - NIN - The Great Destroyer live in Europe, Aug 2007

YouTube - Nine Inch Nails Gave Up ((Live from AATCHB)) (The lights during the finale of this video are phenomenal)

YouTube - NIN - the mark has been made


Or you can just buy the And All That Could Have Been DVD that got put out 5 years ago. Which documents the Fragility 2.0 tour which, by the way, music critics named the best tour of 2000.
 
The Darkness with JH were unfookin'believeable live, great stage show and great music!
Iron Maiden in '03 were class, it was the first time I've seen them, the second time was a let down though.

Hammerfall was one of the most amazing nights ever!
