Thread: Best Live Music Acts!

so who are the best bands/artists you've seen play live?

mine would be
the hives - saw them play at falls festival 08. they were incredible. frontman per almqvist is arrogant but electric. very loud and energetic. probably the best live show ive seen.
the kooks - saw them play at falls 08.
the bloodhound gang - saw them play at soundwave 09. jimmy pop the singer is halarious along with the guitarist. guitarist skulled a bottle of yaga(spelling?) then threw up into a little trumpet and then jimmy pop started playing the trumpet lol.
armin van buuren - saw him play at wintersound system. he has his own 5 hour set i think it was. was insane. he was inside this big metal dome playing insane beats. he played one my favourite songs marco v - unpreparped. was unreal!
and last would be yeah yeah yeahs - saw them at falls 09. the singer karen o is wild! nearly every song somehow in about 10secs should would change her outfit from a slick leather suit then to a glow in the dark skeleton suit and so on. has a massive blow up beach ball with a massive eye on it. beach balls were like 3x3 meters and they threw them out to the crowd. was insane!

yeah i saw underoath at soundwave 08 in aus. there one of my favourite bands and there show was incredible but not as good as what i listed.

nobody does death metal? thrash? NY beatdown? o well i saw some of the best of the modern metal at summer slaughter and winds of plague is my fav so i had to go to the december decimation. completely ****ing sic.

yeah ive seen deadmau5 & pendulum who are aussie

omg muse are amazing! but i missed my chance to see them at big day out this year but they are coming back at the end of the year for there own concerts! hope i get tickets

im not a real fan of death metal and all that but i went to a festival called soundwave and its a hardcore/punk/metal festival. bands like devildrive, nine inch nails, lamb of god, silverstein, the bloodhoung gang, underoath (who we amazing!), funeral for a friend, parkway drive, goldfinger & many more but you can see the range of bands there all!
