Show/Live Band of the year ... 2005

[Night Mare]

We get bugger all shows over here. The highlight for me was Nile they owned live and Rev. Kriss Hades at Bloodlust absolutly amazing!

Agreed, although I thought Kriss Hades beat Nile easy.

Edit: Next year will be pretty killer over here, Opeth, Behemoth(not that im going), possibly Mayhem, Meshuggah. Their is a few more in the pipeline also, plus the many mini festivals poping up should be a good year.

Talked to Attila a couple of days ago, he's almost certain they'll be down here in Aus soon

By "all other bands," do you mean all those other bands who ALSO have played the exact same setlist for the past 6 years, and who require a shot of cortisone to get up the riser to the stage?

No, i mean every band in existance.

Best gig I have seen this year was The Red Paintings "Nightmare Before Christmas" gig. Fucking amazing music/performance art experience.

I have to say, what I caught of Sabbath, was actually pretty solid. However, I wouldn't put them in the Top 20 of bands I saw this year.

Gotta go with Progpower VI - Day 1:

Circus Maximus
Orphaned Land
Conception

Absolutely amazing three straight hours of live music that was.

Tough to beat.

The two other great live bands I saw this year were Nevermore and Corrosion of Conformity.

saw some reurn from the summer of the Conan O'Brian show this week ... Max Weinberg, the drummer of the house band (and some famous drummer according to some here) was talking how he went with his son to Ozzfest and how much he enjoyed Mastodon and Lamb of God ...

hahaha i remember that episode. max weinberg has so little affect, you cant tell when he's serious.

that said, cryptopsy blew me away this past winter. i meant to go to porcupine tree and another cryptopsy show but i didnt. the two mile drive was just too much in the end.

Maryland Death Fest 2005 was teh winner for me this year. Sunn0))), Cephalic Carnage, and Nevermore were all also awesome concerts. It was a great year for concerts in my area.

Behemoth and Suffocation. Behemoth live > Behemoth album.

 

[Conspicuously Absent]

I have 3 to choose from. the Vader show wins cause they had a better lineup for the first 2 bands. But Behemoth was the best band.
