Re: Best concert you've ever been to?

I havent been to a ton of concerts but of the ones i have been to Stone Temple Pilots, Neil Young and 311 stand out as good shows...Bob Dylan was by far the worst concert i have ever been to.

Re: Best concert you've ever been to?

Yeah I don't know if I'd even list 311 in my top 10 bands, but they put on a hell of a show. At the time it was easily the best I'd seen.

You're the second person I've heard mention that Dylan sucks live.

Re: Best concert you've ever been to?

Warriors Dance Festival in Milton Keynes was good, Zane Lowe, Chase & Status, Enter Shikari, Pendulum and The Prodigy. I raved my little tits off for about 9 hours.

I'm a huge fan of The Killers so both times I saw them at V Festival was amazing.

The last ever English show that Oasis played, at V Festival.

Speaking of V Festival, stuff like Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, David Guetta (x2) & Eminem are main memories.

Watch The Throne tour too.

They are the main ones I think of when I think of concerts I've been to. Some aren't as big names as others but I'm such a big fan.

Iron Maiden in 2010 (Final Frontier Tour) was pretty good too.

Re: Best concert you've ever been to?

Kings of Leon were incredibly good live, very talented musicians, but it was so perfect, I could have listened to the CD. It lacked something.

My favourite is probably seeing Blink-182 earlier this year, mainly because I was a stan growing up so finally seeing them was special to me.

The most fun I've had at a gig was hands down Tinie Tempah at Wireless festival, he started and my feet left the ground, they didn't touch down until his set had finished and I was a good 30 meters away from my original position. J.Cole, Jay Z also played that day, both were good for rap acts.

Miles Kane was a sensation, that would have made my favourite list if I didn't go for a piss after the show and miss meeting him backstage. Stupid ****ing bladder.

Oh and D12 were bad, stoned, fat, drunk, no talent and Bizarre wasn't even funny, he was just really ****ing haggered.

Yessir - they've got an EP coming out 18th December 'Dogs Eating Dogs'.

"This EP is a hundred times better than Neighborhoods, because we're all in a room together," drummer Travis Barker told Rolling Stone earlier this month. "The rule is there's no rules."

Re: Best concert you've ever been to?

There was a short period where I liked them a lot. Still think Barker is an amazing drummer. The only album I ever had was Enema of the State, and I recall being obsessed with Adam's Song before it became an overplayed hit.

Tinie was ****ing brilliant at V this year actually, now you mention it. It was the first time I heard his new one with Calvin Harris, Drinking From The Bottle, and that was just a special moment.

I am really envious of you seeing Miles Kane.

Before the Flood is one of the best live albums ever made, but that was almost 40 years ago, the Band isn't together and Dylan never had much of a voice before he got old and it totally crapped out on him. I would guess that the Stones might not sound great if you put Jagger's ancient ass out on a high school stage without a small army of sound engineers to assist him.

Worst concert I ever went to was Hank Williams Jr. I went with some free VIP tickets because I knew that there'd be free whiskey from whichever Distiller was sponsoring the tour. That sonofabitch was too drunk to stand up when he hit the stage and too drunk to sit on a stool when we left. Free liquor only buys so much of my patience.

Re: Best concert you've ever been to?

Been to just too many...2012 was by far the best for me.

1. Roger Waters - The Wall tour
2. Bruce Springsteen (first time saw him, seeing him crowd surf on Hungry Heart song was worth every single penny)
3. Rush
4. The Smashing Pumpkins
5. The Black Keys


Other fantastic live shows:

1. Soundgarden at Lollapalooza 2010 (reunion show), 2011 in Las Vegas
2. Pixies Doolittle tour 2010
3. Green Day - American Idiot tour, and other shows that follow through the years
4. Jane's Addiction at Lollapalooza 2009 (original lineup)
5. Alice in Chains (Las Vegas 2010 with Duvall)
6. Foo Fighters!!
7. Arcade Fire

Like I said, just too many to list. I never got to see my favorite band The White Stripes live. Never saw Radiohead (yikes). Still got Neil Young, QOTSA on my bucket list.

Re: Best concert you've ever been to?

Oh...I completely forgot about to mention Them Crooked Vultures and The Dead Weather. Saw these guys in Las Vegas 2010 - back to back nights. Quite possibly the best live music weekend experience I've ever had!!
