I've only been to a few concerts over the years.

Good
Rolling Stones
Beach Boys (saw them twice)

OK
Journey (lead singer Arnel Pineda had an off night)

VERY sorry that I never got to see ZZ Top and AC/DC in concert! Especially AC/DC.

:(Not really a fair answer, without stating a year. He's been known to be sober at times, and other times basically halfass a show if not simply walking off stage when he wants. I mean, hell, his prime was 25-30 years ago. That's 1/3rd the life of most musicians. His voice isn't there, he is overweight, and out of shape. He's long pissed off, fired, and ran off all the original band. He's basically just doing "greatest hits" concerts at this point, and I mean like 3 years ago. I think he's done touring with current "issues" at hand, but I hope I'm wrong. I've seen some impressive shows but 23ish years ago. The most recent one about 3 years ago was mostly him just standing at the mic and singing without much emotion.

I'm off to see Rob Zombie and Mudvayne in 2 months, but I'm not hoping for much. I've come to admit it's no longer 1999. LOL

I was excited to see Fear Factory 3 months ago but it got covid'ed. :( It's rescheduled for like mid 2023 or some BS. :(


Yeah first time would have been 2001 or so, and then twice in the 10 years or so following 2001.
I've seen Mudvaye e a couple times too (years ago), they bring a lot of energy. At one of the shows, Chad had a full gorilla costume on.


And yeah, it's definitely no longer 1999 :(

Pink Floyd without a doubt is head and shoulders above any other concert I've seen/heard. I've seen them twice and both were outstanding, even though the got rained out halfway through in Houston. They were performing "One of These Days" and it was as of they had the liking strikes timed with their music. Never forget that.

Saw Van Halen in '79. They were good back in the day.

The venue can make or break a performance, at least to me.

Gary Allen at Redrocks was probably one of the best concerts I've been to. Dude had a ton of energy and was passing around a big handle of jack between all the members of the band. Dierks Bentley was there that night and he was a lot of fun too.

Saw Rascal Flatts one time back in the day, Eric Church opened for them and it was obvious immediately he was going to be a big star. I think I had heard one of his songs, and all of them were amazing. In my opinion was the performance of the evening.

Went to COTA a while back for F1 and Pink and Imagine Dragons were out there. Both of them were pretty decent, Imagine Dragons sounds pretty similar to how they sound on the radio. Pink is very opinionated and makes it a point in her shows, but she was entertaining.

I've been to a ton of small indoor venues for charity auctions with some decent sized (not big) names. The audio guys seem to always set up the sound as if it's playing at woodstock. It's so far past the window of where the human ear works, I can't believe people actually stay for those lol.

Been too way too many shows to list them all lol I temper most of them ha!

Ozzfest 01 was great! The original Drowning Pool headlined the 2nd stage. Main stage was CrazyTown, Black Label Society, Slipknot, Manson, and Black Sabbath of course.

I have an eclectic taste in music so I’ve seen these guys, Snoop Dog, Bob Seger, George Jones, Elton John and so many more

I've been to 150+ shows, these stood out.

Roger Waters The Wall tour was great, saw it twice. Roger Waters Dark Side of the Moon was another good one.
Rush (multiple times always great!)
Suffocation (especially the shows from the 90's)
Carcass
Cannibal Corps (shows from the 90's)
Slayer
Alice Cooper
Circle of Dust
Pantera (multiple times always great!)
Black Sabbath (1998 when they first got back together with original lineup)
Iron Maiden

One of the worst shows was
Motley Crue
The band played great but Vince sucked!!

Metallica always puts on a good show
Volbeat
Stone Sour
Chevelle

Terrible shows (most were part of larger concerts/events):
hell yeah
egypt central

honestly I'd say most shows I've been to were pretty damned good. 5FDP was decent other than the singer being a douche between songs.

I'll just copy yours. And I agree with Ivan Mody being a 100% diva
Heading to see Breakin Benjamin and Seether this weekend, early access.

Vince Neil just sucks live even back in the early years, look at some old youtube videos. He doesn't forget the lyrics he just skips parts I think because he doesn't have the lung capacity. He doesn't really practice and in the studio you just record small bits at a time so it's not a issue on the albums. Really disappointing cause the band is super solid live even now. I was also at the "last tour" here in Dallas and he was the worst!

Agree. I saw the "last show" in Jacksonville. Than they went right back on tour 2 years later. Imo, Nikki Sixx is the shit.


Chris Kael is pretty cool. We have 2 stage played bass`s. My pic was taken at 1am after being in 95* temps all day from 9am till midnight
