I recently went to children of bodom with some freinds, and it kicked ass(not that I'm in to that kind of music so much anymore)but because of the feeling and the pulse:)
Anyway, whats the best concert you've ever been to?

Symphony X and Blind Guardian. god it was awesome!
To improve technique and of course trying to keep all as clean as possible. I know my own limits and speed limits and so on I never play anything I'm not capable of. That wouldn't make any sense. After three years of playing I tried to play everything as fast as possible and that sounded, I would say, like shit, and I didn't realize that if I'd play bit slower things than I was capable of playing then everything would sound much better.

Rolling Stones 2003. Just an amazing concert, never sat down and lost my voice. My eyes got kinda red from all the marijuana smoke filling the arena.

I went to see Rammstein in Cleveland in '99 during their "Du Hast" tour. Not really into ultra heavy music, but I like Rammstein because of the blend of Techno (which I'm really into) and skull-crunching guitars. They put on a great show, it was almost like being at a crazy circus. A few other good bands were there: Skunk Anansie was the opener, then a Cleveland band named Mushroomhead, then Soulfly, then Rammstein. For a concert virgin like me at the time, it was a good show to get my cherry popped to.
Blues is easy to play, but hard to feel.

Geesh... I haven't been to a concert in years, but the best one that I can recall would have to be Rush with Mr. Big back in like 88 or 89.
So. If you throw a cat out of a car window, is it considered "kitty litter"?

Bon jovi did a good show at the Air Canada Center. He came back for 4 encores. What made it haliarious was the dude in two rows ahead who was a hardcore 80's bon jovi fan. He was doing some weird **** like he was having a seizure. Come to think of it, MAYBE HE WAS! :)

WWSD? What would stevie do?

Kiss on their last date of their farewell tour. Skid Row opened up for them. It was the best.

I've seen a few Korn bootlegs and they weren't playing very well at all...

Maybe they were just having bad nights, maybe they aren't a good live band. I can't say for sure, but a pattern does seem to be emerging.

The best bands I've seen live are Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals, Primus, Clutch, the Charlie Hunter Quintet, and Scissorfight.

Recently, the best shows I've seen were Stinking Lizaveta and Goatwhore.

I want to go see Ben Harper live, Ive heard his live album and its great. A friends been getting me into him lately, all Ive heard is great. The tracks I have at the moment are Pain and Pleasure and The Drugs Dont Work(Verve cover), what else do you recommend until i get the cash to buy the album?

i just saw Widespread Panic at Constitution Hall in Washington DC. Man that was sweet. My ears weren't ringing like they were after Robert Randolph played the 9:30 club though. Then again, I haven't been to see too many shows.
