Bayside sounds really good live
Emery puts on a good show, but doesnt sound amazing
Say Anything shows are fun sing-a-long shows
Dillinger Escape Plan is my favorite "heavy" live band...they are nuts live

come on eileen
04/27/07, 05:08 PM
When I saw Emery, I thought they sounded good. But yeah, Bayside's awesome live. The Bravery's actually good live, surprisingly.

Codan325
04/27/07, 05:16 PM
yeah, i heard that the bravery was pretty good live.

ive never been to a thrice show, but from what ive seen on the internet their shows seem pretty good.

I've never had the oppurtunity of seeing Enter Shikari, but Im sure that would be one of the most bangin shows ever.

Theres so many bands I have yet to see, but among some of my favorite shows are Emery, Horse the band, and He Is Legend.
Oh yeah, Showbread is crazy too.

lew_1987
04/28/07, 04:58 AM
oh yeah enter shikari were awesome. i saw them at this club called satans hollow, where the stage is just in the middle of the floor, slightly lower than the rest of the club. its circular, with a rail going all the way round, so its pretty much enclosed. the stage is pretty small but they owned it. probably hard to imagine what it was like, not having seen the club and all. i don't imagine they'd be good on big stages though, which they play on now.

i agree. they don't compare to midtown shows, but gabe always has alot of energy and sounds right on most of the time. plus he goes out of his way to connect with the crowd.

just cause i dont like ska... i bought two albums the other day because of you... we just havent talked since. (quietdrive and the newest SOTY)

Definitely. they're amazing live.

and i'm going to get chewed out for saying this but as far as PERFORMANCES go, Panic! at the Disco takes the cake with their costumes, performers, and overall personas.

Paramore was really good live, as were Greeley Estates, Hellogoodbye, and Horse. The Band.

If the kids I brought to the show didn't go to see HORSE, I would have been gone after two songs. I like them on CD but they are the most annoying people to hear babble on stage.

I can see where you're coming from with the Panic! comment as its more of a play like production from what I've heard. Different people go to shows for different things. *shrugs*

i agree about HORSE, they were annoying when they talked but, at least at the show i went to, they didn't talk long and they had a ton of energy. thats what i like best about live performances: the band's energy.

First of all, the best live performance/performer Ive ever seen was Danzig, single greatest night of my life when I saw him live.

Other great bands to see live:
Bleeding Through
Every Time I Die
The Bled
Terror
Unearth
Killwhitneydead
Animosity

Comeback Kid and Bury Your Dead are really fun bands to see mainly becuase of the huge pile ups at the end of the show. Converge is pretty good but didnt live up to my expectations. Hatebreed is good because they play for forever.
A really good grindcore band I saw the other night with Bury Your Dead is Suicide Silence, recorded they dont sound the best but live they are fucking amazing, the vocalist is hands down the best vocalist in grindcore.

Some may hate me for this but the worst bands Ive ever seen live are:
Alkaline Trio (saw them with Against Me, worse shit I have ever seen, I almost died)
From Autumn To Ashes
Heavy Heavy Low Low (great band but biggest dissapointment I saw them and the guys were su fucked up on drugs they could hardly play, they only played 5 songs on a show they headlined)
Atreyu was pretty bad too

blckout20
05/03/07, 11:25 AM
Funeral For A Friend is easily one of the best live bands I've ever seen, just an amazing live performance.

i also think self against city is really good, they're probably my favorite! they have this great intro that leads into their first song that gets you all pumped up for their set which is basically one big dance party. i love it!

they just played the troubadour last night, and their playing chain reaction on friday and then they're playing a bunch of nor cal dates. i seriously suggest checking them out!!

I think The Matches put on a great live show.
They gained a bigger fanbase during the +44 tour, because their live show is so energetic, and sounds so good.

i haven't read through this whole thing, but anything anyone mentions pales in comparison to bruce springsteen with the e-street band and pearl jam.

springsteen is 58 and still jumping around yelling his ass off for 3 hours. and as far as just a good olf fashioned rock show, pearl jam brings it. completely different sets from night to night, shows ranging from 2 hours of adrenaline, to a 3 and a half hour show of rarities, covers, b-sides, and requests. no one does the live show better than these two, IMO.

Envy on the Coast is great live. Ryan has a lot of energy.

The Bled was intense when i saw them live, thier lead singer was really good and got involved with the crowd, they sounded great and i really got into them. He kept telling the crowd to throw all of thier bracelets on stage and then whatever garbage they could find. It was interesting. Also, he threw a water bottle into the crowed and some dumbass kid dove to catch it, hit his face on the ground and fucked it up bad, then proceeded to drink what was left in the waterbottle.

My Chemical Romance had a good performance, even though i despise them.



HIM had to be the worst band ive ever seen live. Ville must have smoked a pack and a half while singing

Manchester Orchestra. I don't even need to explain that.

Also one of the best shows I've ever been to was back when I was in high school I saw Thrice/Coheed and Cambria/Thursday. Those are three bands that will never tour together again. But, it was one of the best nights of my life.

LV03
11/14/07, 03:43 PM
I know they get a lot of shit on here for their live shows..but i honestly think TAI put on one of the best shows last night...maybe its because it was at a smaller venue and the crowd was very into it, but its been a while since i've had that much fun at a concert

and good call on Rise Against

Iron Maiden. Rock in Rio. SICKThe Matches, especially Salty Eyes, are just as good/better than in studio.The Clash live CD was pretty amazing.Scary Kids Scaring Kids.And I gotta go with STD. The one time I saw them live, the bass sound just smacked the crap outta me.Story of the Year hell yes. I heard Page Avenue, liked it, then borrowed live in the lou from a library. Just untouchable.
