[As-I-Lay-Dying]

Only ever been to two proper gigs.

Alexisonfire and Attack In Black last April.
And Slayer/Mastodon/Carnún Rising last July.

For me, Alexisonfire was the best night of my life.
Slayer was unreal too.
Seeing NIN next week though, hopefully Devildriver next February.

 

[~Neurotica]

Apocalyptica

Los Angeles Murderfest, but specifically Repulsion and Atheist. Goddamn the crowd was just insane for Repulsion. It was absolutely sick.

Everytime Sleepytime Gorilla Museum comes to town, I always watch them. They consistently put on amazing shows. The one time I saw Faun Fables was pretty goddamn awesome as well.

 

[Slayed Necros]

Pungent Stench. The small, dirty strip club as a venue really helped with the atmosphere. Plus they played heaps of shit from their first two albums. Fucking awesome.

 

[username345]

Iron Maiden. I had to suffer listening to Trivium as their support band first, but it was worth it

 

[Ender Rises]

Trivium is an absolutely horrible band live, I'm shocked anyone lets them on a tour.

 

[ohiogrinder]

Extreme Noise Terror in Cleveland back in May

 

[RosesofShadow]

We're very unfortunate here that only few Foreign Metal bands comes here in the Philippines....

Death Angel came here last year but, god damn, I missed it because I didn't know they were coming...

anyways, I attended local metal gigs here often with line-ups like...

Bloodshedd
Bane
Sanctus
Hampaslupa
COG
Askals
Kronos

The ones that really stand out in my mind are non-metal.

The best metal gigs for me would probably be Opeth, Dark Tranquillity and Metallica. All amazingly tight. I had no great expectations for Metallica but their set list was kick ass. Nile were good too.

 

[challenge_everything]

best show for me was....Emperor/Peccatum/Borknagar/Witchery/Divine Empire

 

[Sabin Frost]

Sonic Forge here... 13 bands on the same billing, 12 hours, ranging from Ne Obliviscaris, Empyrean and Be'lakor to Terrorust playing Brutal Death/Grind and Dreadnaught from Roadrunner with some pretty cool stage antics. While I am not a big fan of their studio recordings as I find their same wacky tech/death tricks get old after a few songs, Five Star Prison Cell were very very entertaining live and I would see them again.

 

[hibernal_dream]

Dismember

 

[Alteredmindeath]

Words cannot describe my deepest envy.

What year was the show?

It was on the Kings of Terror tour back in 1999, I saw them in Lorain Ohio up near Cleveland. The venue was called "the flying machine" and outside the venue was a sign that read "Emperors night of death". Borknagar was with Simen Vortex at the time, and they had no keyboard player live at this particular show and I was pissed, but they made up for it with a raw and well performed show. It was a magic night, considering that the venue was in the middle of a forest, that made it even cooler.

 

[Ereshkigala]

Central Illinois Metalfest-Foetopsy, Sikfuk, Mortician, Devourment, etc.

 

[Mr. Nekrophetamine]

(Gigantour 2006) Megadeth/Opeth/Arch Enemy/Into Eternity

Kreator/Vader

Iced Earth/Children of Bodom/Evergrey

Opeth/Moonspell

Yes, I am very fortunate indeed to have gotten into metal (and music in general) at a very young age.
