For some bands, going and seeing them live is half the experience. Lights shows now-a-days are amazing.
I've seen:
Funeral for a Friend
Bullet for My Valentine
Gratitude
A Static Lullaby
Alkaline Trio
The Automatic x2
Switches
Cat the Dog
Forward Russia
Boy Kill Boy
Taking Back Sunday
Not a very impressive list really.
I was going to see Bullet for my Valentine again when they came down with As I Lay Dying and Bleeding Through, but I was ill on the day. Same with We Are Scientists. Next year I want to go see Forward Russia again, Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly and Rise Against, though I doubt I'll get round to buying tickets before they sell out...
Ahh, I see where you're coming from. Yeah, ticket prices have gotten fucking outrageous. It seemed to happen in just the last 10 years or so. Back when I was seeing the Grateful Dead tickets would be like $20 and we'd go three nights in a row. Hell, when I saw Pink Floyd in '95 we had 13th row and tickets were only like $30. Now decent seats for the neighbor kids garage band are like $100.Quote:

Ticket prices are pretty expensive these days, but I understand why. Most of them need the money, perhaps not the rolling stones, but 3rd-tier and lower bands.
But nothing beats bands live. I gotten into bands and bought their album based on what I heard live. Rap is a great example. I generally dislike what they do in the studio. Most of their albums, I find are overproduced. Live is another story, you are there, you are pumped up by their lyrics and beats. You feel it. You understand why all these wiggers are pumping their arms, jumping around and you can't help but join in.
I've seen a few bands over the years. Haven't been to many as of recent, but for a few years I was seeing shows every week. This is what I've seen:
Van Halan
The Rolling Stones
Marilyn Manson
Moist (A Canadian band)
Swollen Members 2x-Canadian hip-hop at its finest
Pantera 2x
Slipknot
Slayer
Strung Out 2x
Rise Against
Nofx
Thrice
Poison the Well
Lagwagon
Rancid
Mighty Bosstones
Less Than Jake
Raised Fist
SNFU
Steppenwolf
System of a Down
Throwdown
I think that's all of them. I've been to a few Warped Tours, the last one being about 3 yrs ago now. I don't go anymore as it's infested with Emo's, and I kill emo's ;) I went to Ozzfest in Seattle back in 1999. That's when I saw Slipknot, Slayer and Pantera all on the same bill. Then I saw Pantera again, and for the last time, during the Reinventing tour.

Countless texas country guys that yall wouldn't really care about much less know. On my 21st birthday, Max Stalling and Cooder Graw let me decide the last 2 songs that they played since it was my birthday. Very cool if you know who they are.
When I went to Amsterdam, Type O Negative played 1/2 hour after I boarded my return flight. Really would have wanted to see them, especially in amsterdam, that would have been really special.
The Rolling Stones
Pearl Jam I guess you could say pearl jam twice since they opened for the stones with about a ten song set.
EDIT: I have also seen a bunch of local bands such as
Escaping grace
Cute is what we aim for (not really local but I was visiting my old hood.

Thine Eyes Bleed
this was all at the unholy alliance tour last summer, although I never heard of thine eyes bleed untill then I thought they were cool because after their set the guitarist came out and went into the moshpit with us for the rest of the show. Killer show I definitely recomend seeing all of the above bands for all you metal heads.
This summer I plan on seeing slayer again in august and I'm also gonna be going to the free ozzfest if I can make it down to connecticut.
ooo Chimaira. Good stuff right there. I've got a pass out of existence shirt somewhere that I still sport occasionally. Makes me look 9 kinds of hardcore. Like I could kill small children with just a look.
