| Seeing I have seen over 3000 shows ( between bars to festivals ) I have seen many many bands.
In no particular order - and for different reasons.
Iron Maiden ( and last tour - when they did PHACHENDALE - best live song I have ever seen them in 53 times live )
Screaming Cheetah Wheelies - best non metal rock band of all time in my opinion
And thier close friend DAMON JOHNSON. Solo, with Brother Cane - and now I cant wait to see him in Slave to the System.
.
Ramstchein - -dont laugh - they are fucking entertaining as hell
4 Non Blondes - they were the best female fronted hard rock band I ever saw live. Linda doesnt want to tour anymore - such a shame. Morpheine and Chocolate is still one of my top 10 favorite live songs ever
TS - but you knew that already
Ronnie James Dio - because of who he is, the respect that he commands - and at 64 - still sings better than most 20 year olds today
Rob Halford Solo - yes - solo - I think his last 2 tours he did with Jambo, Metal Mike, Pat and the others were his best material ever. I really dont need to see the Priest reunion over and over again. The new album is good - but Resurection was amazing.
Anything with Ripper - be on the lookout for him live. He did great duty on Priest while Rob was riding the hobby horse. Then with Iced Earth he tore ass!!!!! Beyond Fear album is out soon - and he will probably tour with DIO - you need to see him. He might be the future of metal!!!!
Queensryche back in the 80s - fucking hey yeah!!!!!! And beleive it or not - after seeing them a few times and yahning - this last tour they got it back. Cant wait to see them do the new mindcrime.
and finally ( there are many other great live bands I have seen - and you are gonna laugh at this - DEE WONT - he has sang with them ) is POISON.
Those boys do something very very few bands today do. They respect thier fans. They ask what thier fans want. They give it to them. They invite kids on stage ( Green Day does that too - so I dont want to forget them ) They keep audiences in line. They let fans go to future shows for free with thier stubs. and I think they still have fun playing live.
Maybe I will do a part 2 - gotta go play some online poker.
