All opinions, of course....

I was watching something last night called concert.tv - and they had an old clip of WAR on it. From the 70's, by the looks of it.

It reminded me of when I saw them in concert. They were just horrible, and I actually enjoy their recorded stuff.

Also, really bad, IMO:

1. The Cars
2. George Thorogood
3. Cheap Trick
4. Rush.... LOL, I saw Rush and Cheap Trick TOGETHER. :sqerr:
5. Pat Benetar
6. Not that it matters these days... but Flock of Seagulls. :sqerr:
 
Metallica!!!!!

GOD AWFUL LIVE

I have seen them 3 times (2 times were free) and they sucked all three times.

You know what is funny? I don't like Metallica, yet I saw them on TV in a concert the other night, and they looked like they absolutely rocked the house.... If I enjoyed their music I would definitely think they put on a good show.

Thought the same thing the first time I saw them (which was on the Black Disc tour with Guns and Roses).

Hetfields voice is completely overproduced on their studio recordings, because what comes off as a snarl and growl on the disc is actually a horrible out of tune scream live.
 
to me, nobody, because no matter how bad I think that they might be, or have been, they are up there doing something I can't, even badly...

and I thought James and the boys ROCKED when I saw them... IMHO

I find that funny I loved all three and I'm not much of a Rush fan....

Kanye was the worst I ever saw. Alice Cooper in the 2000s was pretty bad too

I would imagine all Josh Todd does live is scream. I think they are very toned down in recording.

I would like to see Paramore, I really like Hailey's voice.
 
Cheap Trick
REO Speedwagon (Kevin Cronin Years)
INXS (more boring than terrible)


YMMV
 
Shania Twain. Her live show in the mid 90's sounded awful! I saw her at three different venues, with three different sound systems...and the "suck" slider was on 11 at each one. The pyro was impressive...and the outfits were to drool over...but the sound was horrible.

Whoever mixes that woman's albums is a freeking genius!

She's a major beotch in person too. I saw her on New Years Eve 99' and she had a hard time backtiming to the midnight countdown.
 
I liked Smashing Pumpkins and Janes Addiction in concert.
Hmmmmm...

Counting Crows
Sarah McGoghlin (however the hell you spell her name)
Mary J Blige

Mike
 
My experiences....

Awful.....voice, or sound:
1. David Lee Roth, solo
2. Def Leppard...band sounded good, Joe Elliott's voice is pretty much gone
3. Tesla...seats in front of the PA...godawful loud, and lead singer hits once screechy note.....unfortunately....band is still good.
4. Smashing Pumpkins....too loud, and Billy Corgans voice was harsh, and sounded bad.
5. Ozzy....back about 1995. He sucks live....band was awesome, and Zakk Wylde kicked major ass. Seen him with BLS since, and he is better singing than Ozzy ever was.
6. Van Halen, with DLR. Saw them this past reunion tour....DLR cannot sing, and EVH has fell, quite a bit.....really unfortunate. No Michael Anthony really hurt too.
7. Gretchen Wilson....didnt sound good, she was uninspired, and her band wasnt anything special at all. Made Brooks and Dunn sound awesome.


Bands that I have seen that were impressive or at least good:
1. Journey.....no Steve Perry, but before Arnel Pineda....sounded GREAT!
2. Great White....seen them 2x, and always great.
3. Sammy Hagar....every time.
4. Godsmack....every time.
5. Metallica.....impressive production, decent sound...better on the Death Magnetic tour than back with Reload, or whatever the hell they were on back a few years ago.
6. Buckcherry.....pretty good, considering Josh Todd's vocal limitations
7. Garth Brooks....sounded good, considering he is a fat guy, running around like a kid buzzed up on too much Mt Dew...
8. Aerosmith....saw them on the Get A Grip tour...AWESOME SHOW. Also took the gf to them last summer.....still pretty good.
9. Pantera.....crazy as hell, sounded good, albeit loud and lots of green smoke in the air.
10. Static X.....sounded good, even though Wayne Statics style/voice is not my thing.
11. Shinedown.....always delivered. Great band, and fun to watch.
12. Black Label Society.....fun, rowdy as hell, and loud....but still decent sound.

I have been to too many mainstream rock shows.....lol..
