I HAVE to see Corey and Slipknot…after hearing and seeing him, I will lose my head at that show. It also doesn't help my buddy who I went to see the show with, got to see Slipknot years ago and said they were the band that put the most in their show. Also their red jumpsuits went from red to dark red in maybe 2 songs, haha.
I can attest. Slipknot goes all out during their shows. Running around for 2 hours in those jumpsuits and masks while giant flame throwers are spitting fire is guaranteed to be draining. In some of their documentaries a few of the guys comment on how miserable live shows can be because of how they choose to perform. You definitely need to see them.
I remember the first time I saw them was in a smaller arena and we had floor tickets. It was packed. They opened with sic. I've seen big pits before but at this show literally the entire floor turned into a pit and we were in the middle of it. Definitely a top 5 concert experience for me.

I got to see UK's finest crust punk band DOOM tonight at Pittsburgh Skullfest. It was absolutely the best punk show I have ever seen in my entire life! Besides Doom, Siege, Appalachian Terror Unit, and Behind Enemy Lines played. The venue had great sound and acoustics, and there was plenty of room (even though the show was sold out) and had one of the most violent mosh pits I've ever seen. I had a blast.
And I got this awesome hamd-painted Motorhead table from Dave T of Behind Enemy Lines. RIP Lemmy.

^ That table is rad!

The Foo Fighters are my current favorite band. They put on an amazing show. This is pretty cool.
saw them back in the mid 90's when they were touring the first album. one of the best shows I've been to. At the time I was blown away because I didn't know Dave Grohl could play the guitar let alone sing, so it was cool seeing him blow away my expectations. now they're a big stadium band so there's not much likelihood i'd pay hundreds of dollars to see them in concert. I think I paid less than $15 to see them back in those days.
One band I could be persuaded to pay big $$ to see is Nine Inch Nails. Missed them on the first Lollapalooza tour in the early nineties and never got around to seeing Reznor play live. Still love his stuff and it's cool that he's doing the soundtrack thing too.
