Still, that was in their pre-commercial days so at least they were good shows!

[gingerninja72]

Suprised not to see Rammstein in that list.

Even if you don't like the German lyrics their live gigs are stunning.

I can add to my list;

Fightstar (sadly)
Evile (good old skool UK Thrash Metal!!!!)
and Megadeth again

Also worthy of a note - Medina Lake (or something like that) awful awful band, but quality comedy moment when the band kicked off with a member of the backstage tour crew/management and a full on stage fight ensued, including the breaking of guitars and three-on-one-kick-him-in-the-nuts fighting session - LOL

[Geege]

I used to see bands when I was in my late teens, not so much now, due to work commitments and a lack of concert partner

Anyway as a big metal head my list is:

Cradle of Filth (three times)
Nile (twice)
Napalm Death (three times)
Borknager
Vader
Cannibal Corpse (twice I think)
Morbid Angel
quite a few supporting bands that I can't remember.
and Tommy Emmanuel when I was young

I would love to see metal bands more if anyone fancy's a concert partner to go with

[heathen666]

Hmmm, I've been going to shows for over 25 years, the first one I went to was Iron Maiden on Number of the Beast tour in 1982! In that time I've seen the likes of Anthrax, Judas Priest, Megadeth, Slayer, Fear Factory, Metallica (Been to at least 30 of their shows) and Overkill numerous times.

[OnTheFly]

Underworld at The Roundhouse on Thursday. Fantastic. I was a little worried their sound could only be reproduced in a studio. Wrong. They sounded just as good live as they do on their fabulous DVD Everything Everything.
