The one band you want to see live?

[MFJ]

Opeth was my first real metal gig, and oh did it rule. In a nutshell... aside from an awesome performance by Noctuary (but only 20 fucking minutes), the New England Hardcore and Metal Festival was absolute shit besides Opeth.

 

[Ayeka]

Herrm...I'll try and remember support bands to pad out the list

Iron Maiden (five times)
Slayer x2
Entombed
Halford
Seqouyah x3
BLAZE x2
Deep Purple
Robert Plant
Arthur Brown
Whitesnake
Quireboys
Def Leppard
Sum 41
Mighty Mighty Bosstones
American Hi-Fi
Less Than Jake

The AKAs
Amputated
Chimeria
Arch Enemy
Funeral For A Faggot x2
Marilyn Manson
InMe

[Henrik Main]

You've seen CAPDOWN THRICE!!!!!1111 and less than jake oh dear oh dear and teh mighty mighty bossontes.. *Explodes with envy*

 

[NAD]

Are we listing shows we've been to now? Probably 200+ bands including support acts, no way can I remember them all, or even know what their name was to begin with. Case in point, when I saw Dissection in '96 I didn't know who the fuck they were for about 2 years, when I finally stumbled across an article of that show.

I see Dying Fetus and GWAR tomorrow, and Megadeth and Exodus 2 days from now. CSOCRE. Not many concerts come here, and rarely am I interested in them, but Kataklysm + Into Eternity was my first about a year and a half ago. (please bear in mind I came from a retarded little village in the middle of nowhere and only moved to a city last year.)

Up yours, you silly sod

 

[Henrik Main]

Up yours, you silly sod

I was serious I really enjoy skacore.

 

[Ayeka]

I was serious I really enjoy skacore.

I still don't believe you, but never mind...Less Than Jake was an accident, actually. All those nights were good fun, I still have very fond memories of my first Capdown gig...the stories from that rival the old beer stealing/bullet belt chesnut

 

[SonOfNun]

I need to go to a lot more shows. Opeth and Moonspell was the best for me.

I wish Vintersorg would organize a Vintersorg/Borknagar/Fission/Havayoth/Otyg joint concert, that would friggin rule all.

I'm going to make an effort to go see Cryptopsy with Lord Worm in the spring.

In all seriousness, I enjoy punk/sacore/related genres about as much as extreme metal. Capdown's "Time For Change EP" is killer. Same goes for the "Pound For The Sound" full length. British skacore the way it should be!

 

[Ayeka]

Ok, I believe you now ^_^ (don't trust the fools on this forum). Yeah, Capdown are pretty cool at what they do, like I say - great fun live!

[MajestikMøøse]

Goddamn, I just got In The Woods... - Live At The Caledonien Hall in the mail today. OMNIO LIVE ALL THE WAY THROUGH YESSSSS

This band constantly amazes me. It's a shame that they split, but at least they quit while they were ahead. I would love to have had the chance to experience one of their concerts, however.

Suprised Mike hasn't chimed in with envy over a couple of those bands...or maybe hes seen 'em already.

 

[Demilich]

Here's an obvious one, but there's really no comparsion:
Bathory.


And one that I have seen but wish I could burn out of my memory:
Cradle of Filth. FUCK, what a bunch of boring wankers.

 

[Hell Mike]

Suprised Mike hasn't chimed in with envy over a couple of those bands...or maybe hes seen 'em already.

Some, I would take some lives to see Forbidden though... Most of the ones in that list that I want to see but haven't disbanded some 10 years ago or so.

 

[unhinged]

hey J you fancy this one?

Primordial, Mourning Beloveth, Scald - Dublin 7th may

been in planning for over a year

[Crimson Velvet]

I've been to almost a hundred concerts, so there's really not that many left that I really want to see. Agalloch, Deströyer 666, Drudkh and Deathspell Omega are obvious choices.

Some of the more famous metal bands I've seen:

Thrash/heavy/power:
Metallica x14
Iron Maiden x7
Slayer x5
Blind Guardian (never again)
Iced Earth
Kreator
Death Angel
Exodus
Megadeth

Death/Melodeath/Melodic Death:
At the Gates x3
Dark Tranquillity x3
In Flames x2
Dissection
Amon Amarth x2
Opeth x4
Entombed
Arch Enemy
Death
Katatonia x4 (I know they don't fit in this category)
Nile

Black Metal:
Immortal x7
Mayhem x4
Burzum x2
Gorgoroth x3
Windir
Emperor x2
Darkthrone
Satyricon x4
Dimmu Borgir x4
Vintersorg (I think.)
Borknagar

The numbers may be a bit off on the some of the bands and I'm leaving out a few...

 

[Crimson Velvet]

Why does Varg claim to never have played live in his life?

You would have to ask him. He played live several times in '91 and quite a few split gigs with Mayhem.

EDIT: It may have been '90, but I'm not sure...
