The girl who mentioned Taake impressed me, and she got to see them in Bergen none the less, very lucky.
C Targaryen NICE FUCKING PROFILE PIC! Nocturnus were a really cool band. I love Thresholds.
Ocean Sage Thanks! Thresholds rules same with The Key.
C Targaryen Songs like "Aquatica," "Artic Crypt," and "Neolithic" by Nocturnus really show so much energy and riffage! Love both The Key and Thresholds.
They were ahead of their time thats for sure.
C Targaryen I am gonna see Taak live this October. My body is ready
I was surprised no one mentioned Rammstein. Live every single one of their songs is so headbangable and man do they put on a show as well. It's a perfect blend.
they are ministry rip offs, such a joke band.
I really don't like them. I find their music incredibly boring. Saw them directly after Korn, who were incredible and I was having a ball in the pits. Then Rammstein came on and I don't think it was any good tbh. Ended up leaving early, the stage show is cool but I felt it didn't match to me.
In metal, Iron Maiden
But regardless of genre, it would be the band that played at Wembley and got all the audience to clap in unison.
Queen.
I know it is a bit camp. I still like them.
I like the sound of that. and I do agree :)
Kishore Shenoy a
Kishore Shenoy it's just as camp as Judas Priest
Damn Queen... just yes
rammstein has the best show but its not best live band in my opinion
Iron Maiden for me, with Bruce running on scaffolding above the band hitting his high notes, and he confirmed that Dio started the' devil horns' hand sign - and with Dream Theater opening - just pure awesomeness.
Metallica 83-92' was fucking awesome live. Go watch them Live @Seattle 1989. That show is amazing.
92' San Diego - for me the best one, of Metallica
breeanna Dorough or watch the Moscow show and how pantera stole the thunder
Ya but jethro tull put on a better performance that year according to the grammies 😂😂😂
Chris Thompson Huh? I made this comment when I was 14, so I’m not sure what your comment has to do w/ my original comment.
@@exolprincess lol it was a comment about watching metallica live in seattle in 1989. Then i noted how they got robbed at the grammies by jethro tull for best live performance.
Rammstein #1. The show and theatrics is everything. Pantera - most emotional, raw power, and absolutely fun shows I've ever seen. Type O Negative - on Halloween this is the best show I've ever seen in my life - but also some of the worst shows when Pete was too hammered to function. Machine Head - best recent live show I've seen. Intensity and fantastic crowd.
Yeah I saw Type O Negative and really enjoyed the show. Met Peter...Amazing guy but very intimidating.
For me it was..AC/DC, Rush, Van Halen, The Who my concert 1982..My ears are still ringing!!!!
Slipknot seems amazing live
No mention of Judas Priest!?
I really like Slipknot when they perform live
Rammstein in Berlin... and every Miles Davis show I ever saw. Amazing musicianship!!!
How is it possible that not one person said Pantera?! Absolutely mind-blowing.
Right?!
Dan Mosher some of these so called artists seemed like a bunch of millennials, they just don’t know what the mighty PANTERA was all about.
I think alot of them were too young to have seen pantera, that is my guess, I mean they are name dropping fucking metal core bands
Sad state of affairs.
Dan Mosher I once fingered a big muscular man deep in his ass during a Pantera concert in the bathroom. Then I smelled my fingers vigorously for the whole concert 😋.
Technical precision and flawless performances: MEGADETH!! Or meshuggah.
Live effects and shows: RAMMSTEIN!!! Bar none.
havent seen megadeth but otherwise I could not agree more :D
Muse
@@everychannel1025 LOL
Tool, AC/DC, NIN, RATM.
WHAT?
AC/DC are aluminium, not actual METAL!!!!
@@christianjackson9360
Aluminium is a metal. 🤷♂️
I've seen quite a few bands live including Korn, Van Halen, Rush, animals as leaders, Iced Earth. The best "show" I've seen from a band was Rush on their Time Machine Tour. The best "live act" I've experienced was surprisingly Intronaut. To this day they are still the only band who played so loud that my eyes were oscillating in the sockets.
I unfortunately never was able to see The Who, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Meshuggah, Pink Floyd, or Devin Townsend but I hear that they are all quite impressive live bands.
I saw Rush on the time machine tour as well! I was 13 years old , very inspiring for me then. Very grateful to see them
I definitely agree with Meshuggah. From start to finish you're just bombarded with heaviness, and the light show that goes along with the music is mesmerizing.
iron maiden. period!! the walking eddie got to be the finest moment in metal history.
Jesus Guerra what about Judas Priest
And Megadeth with the walking Vic Rattlehead is up there
Jesus Guerra he’s not in the band!
Maiden IS THE BEST but it seems so obvious that no one is choosing them. I mean the last tour is metal grandiose:
- Musicianship: check
- Showmanship: check
- tracklist: check
- concert length: check
- Stage decor: check
- Sound and light effect: check
- scenography: check
....
I can go on and on... Even when the bitch Osbourne tried to break them at one Ozzfest, they always kept playing louder and faster...
Nah. No periods about it.
So many other great shows.
Pantera.
I've seen Iron Maiden 3 times. They are by far the best live band I've ever seen.
Gojira
I saw them last night opening for Metallica. I fucking love Gojira and they put on a great show, but I wouldn't even put them in my top 10 live performances.
Nah.
Man I was pumped to see Gojira, I saw them at Carolina rebellion...their sound guy was terrible all I could hear was bass. Couldn’t hear singer or much else
Blaise Przybyla The few times I've seen them they were absolutely stunning. Go see em for sure. One of my favorite live performances
Hell yes i saw them twice and they killed it just flawless. And their sound was crushing
I saw them open for opeth years ago and had no idea who they were. I was at the bar and heard them and was dragged in by them to front of the stage in awe! They opened with "the heaviest matter in the universe " loved them ever since
Is it weird that I don't know most of these bands that are being interviewed?
Ben Severance I don't either
no most are fucking trash who would die for an interview to get some sort of exposure lol
I new kirk from crowbar. Think that was about it
also any iron maiden or rush live shows are good
Anthrax, that I've seen at least to make a proper assessment. Three times I've seen them, absolute madness. Complete crowd/band interaction, with the entire venue going crazy with energy.
Second I'd say Suffocation. Now that I think of it I've seen them 7 times, and they always blew the roof off. So maybe it's a tie. (I'm referring to Suffocation with Frank Mullen)
My top 5 that I've seen live: Killing Joke, Jesus Lizard, Skinny Puppy, Yob, Tool.
Meshuggah!
Saw them last month & I definitely agree !
Man.. Meshuggah are a product of some super high-tech shit, I mean 5 robots that look and talk like real people... The only things that gives them away is their playing, I mean no human can play that tight.... Every fucking time.
Korn
Mentioned in this video more than anybody else!
i saw them in 2 different eras of their sound. i saw them during the time when theyre were playing destroy erase improve kinda style and then much later like koloss. seeing both i can tell you they had an intensity back then that could not be touched. now they have a density that is less intense but more present.
Motörhead is the loudest band ever, I was in the back of the venue at the bar, and I still went deaf.
When I saw GWAR, in the same venue, I stood in the same area (waaaay in the back), and I STILL got covered in alien blood and semen.
Maiden is easily the best live band in metal
not really, not better than metallica or slayer.
Maiden of course! fear of the dark!
@@fabricio2467 you idiot🤣
@@fabricio2467 Are you kidding every member is Maiden is top of their game.
Deftones and Rammstein are amazing, so much energy and burned eyebrows if you are in the first row... Perfection
Best live performance I've seen is Alice Cooper.
I agree. Saw him a year or so ago.
I agree his shows are amazing.
Alice Cooper....
Iron Maiden, enough said
badreligion1231
I'm dating myself here but I was pretty impressed when I saw UFO with Michael in 1977 I believe.Since then so many great live shows:Scorpions with Uli,Ozzy with Randy,Slayer,Yngwie with Jeff Scott Soto in 86,Megadeth with Chris Poland and with Marty,Racer X,Pantera,Arch Enemy with Angela,Meshuggah,Gojira,and Dream Theater.
Rush, Faith No More, Gojira, Slayer, Porcupine Tree, Meshuggah, Collective Soul. And of course, Queens Of The Stone Age WITH Nick Oliveri.
Exodus and Slayer shows back in the 80s were very dangerous.
gojira, hands down
Finally someone agrees!
Absolutely agree.
Pink Floyd was amazing live, 2nd row center for Metallica in 1989 was awesome, Korn at Woodstock 99 was a fucking experience!
Faith No More and Slayer. Those gigs blew my mind completely. And there was an English prog rock band called Oceansize. I have a special edition of their live DVDs and their performance was out of this world.
Gwar, Motorhead, Rammstein, Iron Maiden, Pantera, Megadeth, Tool all amazing shows in their own way. Most intense band n overall crowd ive been at ..Rage Against the Machine in the late 90s. shit was insane.
Gwar was amazing too, like most everybody, don't even know their songs and don't want too, great theatre band. Sick of you is cool though.
Needs more Kirk Winstein.
When that guy talks I fucking listen you know what I mean?
Seen slayer 8 times and they were great every time
Id have to say the 97' korn shows would be one of my all time favorites due to the energy and the immense amount of emotion portrayed in Jons voice
yeah they are youtube, fucking insane era for the band.
I would say Testament.
You ask where those guys are and then they come to your town and play the most amazing metal show ever.
Metallica, Iron Maiden, Rammstein, Slipknot and Linkin Park.
Why has no one said Rammstein? They're the best live band I've never seen, while the best live band I've seen has to be Iron Maiden, no doubt.
Slayer was pretty crazy on their farewell tour. Saw them in Chicago. Mosh pits everywhere. They sounded great too. Tom’s vocals were really good.
Can't believe no one said Dillinger Esc. Plan
Totally
diling... i mean dillinger????
I CAN´T BELIEVE NO ONE SAID PINK FUCKING FLOYD
ok
Seriously dude! I mean wtf
Dillinger was my first thought honestly
Best live show all in all I've ever seen was Sigur Rós, just breathtaking. Best metal show was either Nails or Ne Obliviscaris, though I'm seeing Anaal Nathrakh in a month and I'm expecting a great show from them.
Pakkemi Sigur Ros was amazing
Motorhead...headline show in Toronto in May 1981. The three amigos left cracks in the Danforth Music Hall ceiling.
The Dillinger Escape Plan. They were never on the biggest stages, but they always gave you a moment to remember.
Rammstein or Tool for sure.
+Frook
this or dillinger escape plan
Sober rammstein>tool. Not sober tool > rammstein
Rammstein definitely
Best Live Band Ever?
So far Rush.....Tool.....
The Sword....
Can’t choose between the 3
Kiss. Love them or hate them, their live shows are just amazing. I've heard Muse goes all out as well.
Gwar live with Dave Brockie will never be duplicated. It was such a blast to see them live.
Best concert I've ever seen, Pantera. 100,000 miles
Finally someone mentions Pantera.. ty!
King Diamond is the best I've ever seen.
Yep KD & Mercyful
What's wrong with these guys :D?
Pantera, Gojira, Metallica, Trivium?
maybe they didn't mention them because they did not see them?
Possible. ;)
I saw Gojira live last month and yes, they rule \m/
Eine der besten Bands momentan :)
Ya ! It makes me proud of being french x)
id have to say rush, every especially in their 70s prog days, they sounded better live than on the actually record a lot of times, with all the instrumentation they put forth, its amazing how they do it
Ramm🔥🔥🔥🔥
🔥🔥🔥Stein🔥🔥🔥
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Gojira.
No mention of Blind Guardian. Shame.
Richard Dortch Gone's the wisdom of a thousand years...
Fuck yeah
Converge, Melvins, and Dillinger Escape Plan are the best live bands ever.
I'm surprised no one said Dillinger escape plan
+MetalSoHard 'Cause noone probably survived those shows.
+burningmisery
i've been to one of their shows in 2008. Just woke up from a coma. TLDR; It was worth it.
Saw them a couple of days ago. Best band I've seen. Closely followed by Gojira and Slayer.
@burningmisery I did lol
NO FUCKING WAY I WAS THINKING THE EXACT SAME THING.....dude..they play amazingly ...fucking acrobatics everywhere, and they are always tight shows meaning audience engagement is amazing. I am really sad its all over.
Mr. Bungle in 1992.
Im gonna start listening to Havok now
Tool was probably the most amazing show I’ve ever seen... but in a different way, Origin and Fleshgod Apocalypse blew me away when I saw them live... I saw All that Remains open for Dying Fetus when they had just released “This Darkened Heart” and that was the first time I had that cliche stoner moment when I could hear colors. The melodies between the 2 guitarists sounded so angelic through the speakers i’ll never forget that.
Having been to about 200 concerts myself, I'll say some shows are just about the times. But Iron Maiden and anything Ozzy takes the cake! The sound, the energy and the amount of hit songs both bands have keeps you going from beginning to end! I'll give honorable mentions to RATM in their prime, Gojira, and for a shit ton of fun GWAR!
For me, the best I've seen would be....
Devin Townsend
Gojira
Steven Wilson band
Roger Waters
Symphony X
Foo Fighters
Kamelot
The best bands I've seen live were Graveyard and Dark Tranquillity. Lots of energy!
...Rush 1979 Hemisphere tour...Alex and Geddy draped in silk robes , waist deep in fog ......with astral planes projected thru out the hall . People who saw those legendary shows
literally time traveled ( The Rocinante landed at the show , the audience allowed to board ).......nothing like it before or since.
Just missed that tour. I wish I was a few years older lol.
+1 for QOTSA with Grohl, Lannegan and Oliveri.
No Rammstein. Hmmm.
For real
These guys still live in their trailers and watch their local tv channel. How the fuck would they know? 😅
They're good. But not the best, definitely not.
@@MrDumpitout who then? I woulda said Behemoth, Cannibal Corpse. But Rammstein’s show was the best I’ve seen. And I have seen hundreds of bands play. I’m 48. I’ve seen Metallica many times. If you have never seen Rammstein live. How can you rate them?
@@billybobtexas i see Rammstein back in 1995. In a small Club with 350 other people...and a flamethrower!
This was one of the best gigs i ever seen!
The Rammstein shows now? Nothing more then Special effects. 👎
Tool and all my money for King Crimson .....
Seen a lot of great shows. Fishbone really stood out, what a high energy show.
Pantera in Little Rock 2001 put on one of the best shows I've ever seen. Heavy as a motherfucker.
Surprised I didn't see rush or dream theater
zackman23ful Metal
Rush was probably the tightest overall band on the planet but this is more about metal bands..
Prodigy, Dream Theater, Rammstein, Jean-Michel Jarre
I have seen so many and I'm undecided between 2, Ramstein or Helmet. I don't know exactly what it is, but these 2 bands are really something live.
Devin Fucking Townsend... there is no comparison....
+FurryFerris That guy is an amazing singer! City is a crazy album!
Did'nt anybody see Pantera live? Damn...
I wish I was around to see them live, the best show I've seen live was Motöhead!
+CFH99 Motorhead is great live, i've seen Pantera on their last tour and thought it was awesome but friends of mine saw them on the cowboys tour and they said it was the best thing they ever saw!! Slash's snakepit was great too, good old rock 'n roll...
Behemoth. I had never seen them live before until Knotfest. Everything about it, the sound, the theatrics. Unreal
that fucking trendy at 1:47 looks like King Diamond´s grandson
I like opeth live shows. Acacia strain was solid too
Have none of these people seen Rammstein? The greatest live experience you could ever possibly witness, hands down.
+Mike Hunt
Maybe they are Jealous ?
+juan jose garrido muñoz not easy to score r+ tickets if you're touring. you actually have to hunt them to score
Gwar
Have you ever attended a meshuggah concert?
all show but no go!
I've seen Russian Circles live & it was amazing.
That is hard to answer...But Motorhead is one band I must mention...With the Killmister, Clarke, Taylor line-up..Listen to No Sleep Till" Hammersmith and you know why...Another band I really cannot forget to mention is Inquisition. They sound so good live, saw them a couple of times and it was awesome.
AC⚡DC
Slayer shows are all meat no filler; Iron Maiden, Gwar, and King Diamond are fun and theatrical; Judas Priest and Motorhead shows are freakin loud; but Rush is best live band I have seen.
GWAR for sure.
The singular best performance I saw was At The Gates 12 year reunion tour. Unreal how good they sounded.
I was honestly surprised to see Meshuggah named so many times. I've never really gotten into them but after all these endorsements I might have to.
Me? Pantera!
metallica
best live band ive seen so far is definatley Queens of the Stone Age, followed closely by this small jazz fusion three piece from South Africa that were playing on the smallest stage of the festival i was at, and they were so tight, had so much groove and they were just overall electric. Great drummer, great bassist, and great singer/pianist
Seen Tool 7 times and they still hold the top spot for me. Meshuggah is a distant second, but an honorable mention!
Rush
Only band I've ever seen that was better live than in the studio
What about Rage Against The Machine!?
Sam Hibron Yes. Their reunion tour when they got back together in 2010 I think it was... That shit was crazy.
Best live bands I’ve seen by far have been Killswitch Engage with Jesse, Deftones, Mastodon, and SLAYER! 🤘🏼
Yeah dude, Pantera, King Diamond and ZZ Top. Concerts that changed my life forever.
muse
To me ! No one can't touch PANTERA. ND I will never forget that band.
hell yea for today
definitely Milli Vanilli!!!.... the best ever....
yes this!
The best live bands i’ve seen are The Rolling Stones, Black Sabbath, & Iron Maiden
