Most Amazing Concert Experience EVER

[Chemical]

In my life I've been to many concerts... of those concerts I would say there are 4 that are the most memorable but only one that is displays 100% Awesome Power.

1) GWAR
2) Alice Cooper
3) AC/DC
4) Pink Floyd the Experience

GWAR is the top show of all though. It was amazing. The music, the energy, the gore, the audience participation, the stage appearnce, the theatrics...

The show started with an "artistic representation" of the new Pope entering, stage left. He wore a red pope garb whipping a slave with a war banner that had the cross merged with the nazi symbol. Meanwhile GWAR is playing a real mean guitar and beating a good rhythm.
Then Odius chops of his head and there's blood everywhere.

The next guest is Bush. He's rolled out on this table and he gives a speech: "I have fought the war on drugs. I have fought the war on terrorism. I will now fight the war on weather." And then GWAR is all like YARRRRRRRRR and starts ripping out his intestines and yeah.. blood everywhere and sprayed all over the crowd.

The next guest is Sharon Osbourne with an Ozzy Puppet. "You'll never make it in this industy, you're hopeless, utter failures." And the slaves take her shirt off and play with her boobs then cut them off and more blood sprayed all over the audience.

The last guest is Michael Jackson who comes out with this little child sleepy plush. And Gwar is all like "HEY Michael why don't you show they audience your expensive sexual appendage." and he pulls out his massive ...rod... which is about as long as a leg and starts having a "sword" fight with one of the slaves and hitting the people in the front row across the face. And Gwar tries to cut if off but can't.. so they rip off his face isntead and you guessed it! blood, all over the audience!

The blood is really water with blue/red die.

By the end of the concert it felt like I was gettin a bucket of water thrown at me every 2 minutes. I left pretty much died red and blue and soaking from head to toe... it was crazy in the mosh pit especially... it was difficult to move anywhere and rather crazy violent with lots of pushing and shoving and body surfing.

Great show though. Amazing. Stupendous. Specatacular.

[Pure Strife]

CKY were my first concert, and I adored the band at the time. Outstanding gig, though the reviews weren't gleaming. Meh, I had fun. Megadeth were great too, largely because they were Megadeth.

I've only been to two concerts. The Backstreet Boys, when I was 10, and Chevelle just last month. Oh and Sugar Ray awhile ago but blah.

Chevelle was the superior. Front row, right up against the railing. It was awesome. I remember one guy passing out. Woo!

Wow - I am definitely not at all into the kind of concert you described, Ash, but the way you described it, they certainly do what they do very well.

AC/DC sounds like a blast. I hope I get to see them.

2. Black Star at Coachella Valley.
3. Franz Ferdinand at the Greek Theatre.
4. Dave Matthews Band at the Carson Center.

[Calliope]

Interpol/Idlewild/Foo Fighters.

[TheAbominatrix]

The Adicts were probably my best concert when it came to the showmanship of the band.

The lights dimmed in the very crowded venue, and a strobe came on. The band members marched through the crowd to Beethoven's Ode to Joy, and then the lead singer was carried up on a throne. Over the course of the show the band threw all sorts of stuff at us, including flour, water, sprinkles, sugar, and frosting to make a "punk rock cake". They played for an hour and a half and they were just amazing. The girls got to go up and kiss one of the boys in the band. It was great.

The Aquabats put on a great show, though I've yet to attend one of theirs.

I saw Whitesnake open up for Motley Crue back in 1987. Whitesnake was the opening band, had no light show whatsoever, did nothing but announce each song they were gonna play and they BLEW the Crue out of the water. Classic.

[Epiphany]

1. GWAR
2. Iron Maiden
3. Kalmah
4. My Dying Bride.

GWAR is absolutely phenomenal live. They fully bring you into the show.
