Shitty band is shitty live? Shocking.

Best: Hurt, Alice in Chains, Hatebreed (not a huge fan but they were entertaining), and Lamb of God
Hopefully when I see Godsmack this summer they live up to my expectations, as I am hearing great things about their live performances (and witnessed them on the dvds)

Worst: Cage the Elephant, Framing Hanley, Atreyu, 3 Inches of Blood

Really? That is very unfortunate, what was bad about it?

Saw them last year and will see them again this year, not the best but still entertaining.

Janszoon, Disturbed is fanfuckingtastic!

Best band I've seen, based on the show itself, was He Is Legend. Was a really small venue and the band really put on a show (and sounded great as well).

Worst band I've seen, based on the show itself, has to be The Deftones. I like them a lot, but I'm sorry... Chino cannot sing worth a shit IRL, and their sound guy decided to try and mask it or something by putting a huge 1x echo on the vocals 100 PERCENT OF THE TIME.

What's worse than one Chino singing?
Two Chinos singing.

Kind of surprised to hear that about The Deftones. I've watched their videos on Youtube and Chino sounded fine to me... maybe it's different actually being there.

Maybe he had an off-day or something, but I have also seen unflattering vids as well. In any case, their sound guy was not helping at all.

It's been a long time since I frequented live concerts. The Cramps did a good show when they were here in Melbourne years ago, although I got the feeling it was fairly well rehearsed craziness. Nick Cave is good live. Jesus and Mary Chain were a bit of a disappointment. They were so detached from the audience they might as well have been on tv.
