Who in your opinion are the best live performers? I've been to my fair share of concerts, and Linkin Park without a doubt sound the best. More then half the rock vocalists out there would die singing the chorus to Numb or Faint. But Chester is always right on. Mike used to be pretty bad, but lately he's been great. He's started to sound a lot better ever since Projekt Revoloution 1. Mudvayne is also pretty good.
I've heard plenty of bootleg recordings to know that The Mars Volta is damn good live. Nine Inch Nails is too, judging from the CRC Sessions.
Linkin Park, Nine Inch Nails, Korn (Before The Untouchables was released), Atreyu, Alexisonfire, Marlyn Manson, and Bigbluemonkey (Story Of The Year).
Linkin Park, Finger Eleven, Three Days Grace, Cold, Sum 41, and Evanescence. Sum 41 totally tore it up at the concert here. It was awesome.
I saw Aerosmith in concert about 3 years ago and they blew my mind. They did all of their greatest hits and just brought a real good rockin' show to Philly. It was probably one of the best times I've ever had at a concert. They are truly amazing live. I've seen many bands live...but nothing can compare to the night I saw Aerosmith.
Really fucking awesome: The Used (although they talked on stage too much) Social Distortion (way better then they seemed on the KROQ webcast or Live In Orange County DVD) Flogging Molly Tsunami Bomb the Briggs Green Day Also very enjoyable: The Street Dogs Backyard Babies Story of the Year (I don't care for the album, but as of 2003 they owned live) Coheed & Cambria
Lostprophets, Korn, Linkin Park, The Used, My Chemical Romance, The Bled, Social Code, Three Days Grace, Breaking Benjamin, Evanescence, Funeral for a Friend, Less than Jake, Story of the Year.
I can't believe I forgot SotY. How stupid of me. They do the most wild stuff on stage, and still sound freaking great.
Linkin Park, Evanescence, Breaking Benjamin, Seether, Story of the Year Out of all of them, I'd say Evanescence was the best.
Staind, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Ra and (hed) p.e. were fucking awesome. Foo Fighters were also pretty good too.
NOFX, Bad Religion, Anti-Flag, Bouncing Souls were absolutely amazing! Also The Black Maria was a very energetic band live.
Stereotrap, Pillar (which will also be going on the worst list, as well. I'll explain why in there), Billy Talent, Our Lady Peace.
ive been to my fair share of shows (i have seen nearly 1,200 bands live) and these were the best: Linkin Park Pressure 4-5 (i am SO sad that they b/u :'( ) Pennywise Seether Godsmack (they were fucking amazing w/ two drum sets on a revolving stage!) hehe those werer the best. also, i had an amazing experience w/ AFI. they guy walked on the crowd! but that was only a one time thing, i didnt like it much the sexond time i saw them.
