Tightest rhythm section you've heard live (metal bands)

[Kir-ir-Bannog]

Who is is the tightest drummer, bassist and rhythm guitarist (working as a unit) you have ever heard in a live metal performance?

I've got to go for:

Scott Ian
Frankie Bello
Charlie Benante

I don't think there have been many gigs ive been to where the timing has been so accurate to the record and crystal clear. these 3 beat the lot that I have seen.

 

[Wander]

Dream Theater.

Not at all my favourite gig in any way, but the playing was as clean and precise as clean and precise playing is.

 

[Hox]

Deathspell Omega.



Wait...

 

[Lateralus14]

Not sure what's rhythm and what's lead in a one-guitarist band but Adam Jones, Justin Chancellor, and Danny Carey are about as tight as I've ever heard..

 

[Cognitive Intercourse]

Gotta say Opeth with Dream Theater being a close second.

As far as non metal bands, it was easily Kansas when I saw them back in '02 or '03. I was very, very pleasantly surprised by how incredibly tight these guys were. Totally blew me away.

I hope all the people mentioning Opeth are referring to 2008 only.

when I saw them back in late 06 they were pretty tight considering, but they're definitely tighter now than ever.

tool, nin, and maiden still take the cake though.

rhythm section = more than just rhythm guitars. rhythm section generally refers to drums and bass, and possibly the rhythm guitar if there is one.

 

[kalikatzaros]

Gojira and Meshuggah I agree

 

[To rid you disease]

Cynic and Meshuggah and both in the same night

yea, both got amazing (and tight) drummers.

 

[opeth8]

Lamb of God is really tight live.

Coming from India, I haven't got the opportunity to see many kickass international acts, but Opeth 2 months ago was mindblowing ! Axenrot single handedly fucked the shit out of the PAs
