i do have to say tho just looked at the set list for 2011 and there is only 7 songs on there i would want to hear live think ill wait till they do another greastest hits tour

Maiden are as good live as any band that you'll ever pay to see. Don't listen to him, you'd be lucky to ever see another bad review of a Maiden gig.

Very few bands are absolutely %100 reliable live from start to finish. Maiden, Priest, Megadeth are all sure things from personal experience.

Where's Chez to back me up!?

They sound good, but they don't play as many of their old stuff. They just play a bunch of new shit and it pisses me off cause I wanna hear their old songs.

RUSH is as well!!!! They'll for sure start on time. they'll basically play for over an hour, take a slight brake, then come back for 2 more hours. Hit every note perfectly every time!!!

Ah ok man. I saw them on the 'Somewhere Back in Time' tour, one of the songs from our show is on the dvd (2 Minutes to Midnight) and they were fucking phenomenal, but it was indeed a greatest hits tour. Guess you have to like the new stuff really

Shame you couldn't, it was amazing 

[Shadow Play]

I've only been to a few

Eric Clapton - best performance I've been to what more can I say 

Guns N Roses - went to see them at the o2 in dublin, was my first time seeing them, even with the whole bottle thing they were awesome and axl sang even better when they came back out

Oxygen 2010 - left early because of the rain but some of the acts I saw were really good, The Coronas, The Black Keys, Two Door Cinema Club, Biffy Clyro, Florence and the Machine, Kasabian, their singer was high as fuck so that was kinda funny and even though I can't stand his music Dizzie Rascal put on a good show but nothing came close to Muse it's the best show I've seen live only guns come close to it.

S Club 7 -  savage

I forgot i went to see Electric Six a few weeks before christmas i got front row, but pretty much got bum raped by some guy behind me guess he got a bit too excited when they played gay bar also got hit in the face by one of the guitars when he did a stage dive, overall they were surprisingly good and very funny

Share every single concert you’ve seen and say something unique about the concert and which one was you favorite. I've only seen a few live concerts, but I have a lot to say about them:

Def Leppard w/ Bill Idol - Dayton - 8/21/08 - My first concert. Huge fan of Def Leppard at the time. cheap tickets, we immediately moved up as far as we could to see them closely. Billy Idol had a better performance and his guitarist, Steve Stevens was absolutely phenomenal! He was amazing! And Billy's vocals were fantastic! Def Leppard had great sound and their guitars sounded great!

Cinderella - Columbus - 6/30/10 - Yes, this was the concert where the Scorpions cancelled at because the singer was "sick". But anyhow, the first band was some local band whose name nobody knew or cared about. The second was American Dog, gay as fuck if you ask me. The damn bassist had his volume up 3x louder than the guitar I couldn't hear shit from him! But when Cinderella came on they KILLED! They were fucking amazing! And I got to go for FREE!!!

Dream Theater - Columbus - 7/2/10 - Two days after Cinderella, I went to see Dream Theater with the refunded money I got back from the Scorpions cancelled show. And it was worth every penny. Best concert by far that I've ever seen! It was so amazing! The opener was ok. It was Beatallica. They combined the Beatles and Metallica and mashed them up together somehow and made their own songs from that. It was also an off-date from their tour opening up for Iron Maiden, so they played a totally different set then they usually did. During the song, “Pull Me Under” me and my friend were standing on the rails above the pit and were waving, trying to get the bands’ attention when some asshole pushed us off because we were blocking his view. My friend discussed this with the drummer, Mike Portnoy during a signing when going to see them and Maiden in Cleveland and he thought it was pretty funny . And this was about two months before Mike Portnoy left the band, so I feel really lucky enough to have seen them My friend was smart and stayed by the tour bus afterward and got the autographs of the keyboardist Jordan Ruddess, Mike and the guitarist John Petrucci.

Trans-Siberian Orchestra - Columbus - 12/28/10 – This isn’t my typical concert, but I got a few tickets to this show and to be honest, I was blown away! They played all my favorite songs by them! The first half was good, but they black narrator guy was fuckin’ boring . But afterward, they were amazing! 10x better then the first half! If you ever thought that a violinist couldn’t head-bang, well they can! That little fucker was everywhere! And as I recall, after the show, one of the guitarists gave away one of their guitars to some 9 year old. That was very odd I must say.

I'm going to Rock on the Range on May 20, 21 and 22! I just bought tickets yesterday and i'm so excited the Line-up is gonna be announced next Tuesday!
