I don't know if this exists already, if it does then go ahead and lock. Had a look around, couldn't see anything. Which artist/band/group, in your opinion, gives the best live performance? Personally, I'm going to say Rammstein. Their pyro is phenomenal. Since this is turning in to another post-count garbage thread: Please actually explain why. Please link a video if you can of what you're talking about.
I'm looking for particular names, preferably from personal experience. Why? Also please at least try to provide an example.
Hard to post names when you can't remember the name of the bands I guess one would be Circle Jerks, such extreme energy.
From live videos on youtube: Muse and Iron Maiden From personal experience: Streetlight Manifesto, The Agonist, The Descendents, Bad Religion, and I wouldn't say The Offspring are perfect live or anything but theirs was my favourite/most fun concert I've been to
I'd say Sum 41 (Backing up what Mage said) Live - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEKWbX5R75E Regular - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dm-YgXJl2fI (Youtube embed has never worked for me, sorry.)
I'd say either Rusko or Pendulum Rusko just creates great atmosphere when he performs and he is just so loose its amazing Pendulum - pretty decent and their live performer, Ben "The Verse" Mount is exceptional
I've seen them live actually, at Download, the crowd is definitely one of the best I've been in, a good night.
I haven't been to many concerts before. But Mumford and Sons were great. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_kshqySOS4
Rihanna at hackney weekend was lucky to be in front line, she was amazing! especially when her collab Jay-z stepped on the stage with "Run this town". Best festival ever for me.
