What is the best concert you’ve ever been to?

Gwar.

Just kidding! lol

Iron Maiden and Ghost was pretty good last year. The final Black Sabbath tour was a great one as well. I've seen BS a few times, but that final tour was incredible. The whole venue was just full of energy.

Many many great concerts over the years.

Lollapalooza 94 in Chicago was probably the best. First time I saw SP live. If I remember correctly they played all of Siamese Dream. It was amazing.

Pretty close 2nd was STP and Cheap Trick at Starwood amphitheater in Nashville. Early 97 I believe.

ETID's 2009 show in Charlotte at Amos (RIP).

Modest Mouse a few years ago. Close second is 311.

Im at a skillet concert now. Holy cow these guys rock.

Wife and I went to see the Rolling Stones in Boston back in 2003. We had a great time. Actually, I think she loved the concert more. I've been a Stones fan since WAY back.

The stones are still on my bucket list. I'm afraid they will kick the bucket before I get a chance to check that box though

Call me lame if you will, but......U2, The Joshua Tree tour.

I was at a Motley Crew concert a year or so ago. Tommy Lee had a track system that took him and his drum set up and over to the middle of the crowd. It even did a loop in the middle. All the while he was doing a drum solo. That was pretty awesome

I would say the misfits with Glen Danzig. Also would say Hellyeah 2 years ago.

Marilyn Manson on the Mechanical Animals tour in Peoria, IL. There was a MASSIVE blizzard that hit. The midwest can handle snow. No, this was the type where even banks and malls close the the highway patrol ask the public to not use the highways. I called the arena and they said the band got in last night and the show will go on. So I left my house in a 1988 LX 2.3 hatchback with shitty tires at about noon for a 7pm show. It was a 90 mile drive. It took me about 3+ hours. Often times I couldn't see the semi I was following 30 feet behind, while doing 30mph down the middle of two lanes. A few trucks passed me, and I later say 3 of them in the ditch. Anyway the show did go on, for maybe 200 people. It was almost like a private showing. I've seen Manson several times since, and he doesn't have the same energy, the same voice, etc. That's life. Rock stars don't age well. Manson ended up canceling the next 2 shows I believe as the band couldn't get out of Peoria. My mom wouldn't dare let me drive home in those conditions so she phones me a room at the Holiday Inn. School ended up getting canceled the next day too, so I didn't miss anything.


I'm still 1% angry my mom wouldn't let me drive to Woodstock 99. I mean I had my license a couple months. Drugs, fires, riots, nudity...that was one insane concert.

And Boston is one of my favorite bands ever and never got to see them.

LoL, they were supposedly on their last tour when I saw them 35 years ago. It was wild though. Jagger was on a man lift inside the arena and circled over the crowd.

I saw Saliva play this shit hole bar on a Thursday night. $15 cover and maybe 150 people packed into the bar. Good friend of mine and I were like 3 row standing. To this day still my favorite show. Close Second was seeing Shinedown play a smaller venue in Detroit

I have been to a lot of concerts in my lifetime; but I have my favorites. The very best one was in 1989 in Houston at the Astrodome. Opening act was the Fabulous Thunderbirds. The second act was Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble. The last was the Who. Awesome, awesome. Stevie died that next year. A close second was Offspring in San Antonio. I can't remember what year, but they rocked.

I saw Tom Petty last year, then Edgar Winter, Alice Cooper and Deep Purple. This year, I've already bought the tickets for ELO. I can't wait.

saw them at UCF with Nothing More, volbeat and five finger death punch. Hellyeah and and Nothing More had some of the worst sound systems Ive ever heard. Thankfully Volbeat and ffdp had better stuff, I was ready to go home

Been to a lot of shows but one of my favorites has to be Morbid Angel before David Vincent left the band. Going to go see him with his new band new week I am Morbid.

Creed in 1997 before they made it big. I saw them again a couple years later and it sucked. Godsmack was probably the best. I am not a big fan, but I went with a friend. They were impressive live.

I saw them in 1997 at a bar my freshman year of college... man they were fantastic. I don't care what anybody says, the My Own Prison album still stands up to time.

gosh it's hard to really pick one out of all the shows I've been to. I could narrow it down to a handful that stick out though...

Motley Crue 1990 Dr. Feelgood tour
Aerosmith 1994 Get A Grip tour
Red Hot Chili Peppers & Stone Temple Pilots 2000
Motley Crue 2005 Better Live Than Dead tour... amazing atmosphere
Black Stone Cherry 2006, in a Holiday Inn conference room
Aerosmith & Motley Crue 2006, Route of all Evil tour (co-headlining sets!)
Chris Stapleton 2016 & 2017, both were incredible
Royal Blood 2017
TOOL 2017

I gotta give honorable mention to Papa Roach in general. Seen them many times as support for other headliners, and one time headlining a small bar show; and they bring it. Jacoby Shaddix is/was one hell of a frontman.
