Best and Worst bands you have seen live!

And I'm one of many big Radiohead fans that has always had the popular inborn biased hate for Muse. And I will agree, Muse was originally highly influenced by Radiohead circa The Bends and OK Computer. But no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't come up with anything remotely as astonishing. Hardly anybody liked them. The press hated Muse, England hated Muse, Radiohead fans hated Muse. Only thing that saved them was Radiohead hating to be Radiohead. Radiohead were the edgy innovating ones being that they always want to shake things up and explore new sounds with each album they've made. Muse couldn't follow where they went despite the fact they too were trying to be somewhat experimental with different instrumentation. So coincedentally, when Muse began to roll down their own road, they started getting some positive feedback. However, since modern rock fans in America are oblivious to it all, Muse has always had a market. And they sit comfortably in a market that also enjoys Taking Back Sunday, Fall Out Boy, etc. Nowadays mainstream England and Europe alike likes them a good deal and all is just fine. And good for them because they deserve it. They are far from being a bad band. It's just they won't go down in history as one of the all time greats. Radiohead will.

Yeah I do agree with this, I was too young to remember Muse's earlier days though so all that controversy is pretty new to me.

 

Matt Bellamy tends to write about weird stuff, like aliens and government propaganda but when he tries to write about like love and stuff it can get cheesy at times, especially on Starlight *shudder* That was just too radio friendly!

 

And Ace I am now incredibly jealous of you too Though I did see them in Manchester.. yay ^_^

BEST CONCERTS:

 

Dred 10/10 though the side bands were really shit, they had perfect timing,the sound was all even, they cut the bullshit "mosh or die" "tear this floor apart" they just mentioned the song names and just got realllly into it, the crowd went crazy, it was worth the traveling to get there.

 

Dark tranquillity 10/10 they had an amazing energy, and got the audience to engage with their music. (vocals then holding the mic. to the audience to repeat it back.) great music, great band.

 

 

Slayer 6/10 one of my most anticipated concerts, i was slightly disappointed that they had mastodon with them. the lighting set up was also quite painful.

having flashing lights everytime a double kick was played wasn't the wisest idea.

 

 

WORST :

 

the used 4/10: they played well(by their standards anyway), but should of stopped when the barriers were down and more people then could fit in the pit were added. it became very dangerous and i got out of the pit injured and shaking. which should of been prevented.

[geeko]

dude....

 

im too broke to even watch a damn concert...

[Stenners]

Rubbish

 

Nothing beats seeing a great performance & nothing is quite as funny as seeing a shite band prove that they are more shite without the help of production (ANGELS & AIRWAVES) and getting boo'd by their own fans! HARHAR

 

Future Of The Left were really good live, next stop Yo La Tengo and then Animal Collective then a return to Patrick Wolf & maybe Euros Child!

[Ravynlee]

Best - Nine Inch Nails

Big Day Out like 2000 or sth.

Trent Reznor tight black leather pants like ten feet from me *droolage*

Mosh pit was the scariest experience of my freakin life (and my first ever mosh! What an education!)

Music rocked. Great energy. Great light show too from what I remember of it. When I wasn't drowning in body parts

 

Worst _ Pearl Jam

2005

Had been a huge dedicated fan for around 10years. Waited for that concert forever. I went and was bitterly disappointed. No crowd involvement and we all pretty much had to stay seated (was after their concert where those fans got crushed in mosh pit, safety crew were a bit tyrannical but necessary I guess)

Sound sucked. No stage presence. I gave my tee shirts away after that. Coincidentally got into Linkin Park soon after. Good for me.

[Peterdea]

Best - Linkin Park

 

Worst - Through The Eleventh Hour

[MrsBennington-Delson]

well considering that I havent been to any big concerts I'd say best was Linkin Park and worst was uhm... some local band from around where I live... I dont even remember their name anymore xD lol

[Mikes_Shadow]

Best- ALICE FUCKING COOPER!!
