    By far the best concert I have been to is Five Finger Death Punch! I have seen them 12 times in the last three years, traveled as far as Kansas City, MI for Rockfest (I am in Buffalo, NY), and have always been so wowed every show. I took my 11 year old son, whom is obsessed with FFDP to his first concert this past November, he got to go up on stage and they gave him some swag. Best entertainers I have seen in years! Rob Zombie is a close second, seen him in Pittsburgh two summers ago with Korn and he blew Korn out of the water! Amazing pyrotechnics and awesome giant robots!

    This is so hard.

    in no order, Green Day, Metallica, and Foo Fighters.

    Foo Fighters are my all time favorite band, so of course, everything they do is killer. But, I have to say that Green Day sure did suprise me. I thought I'd be bored watching them. But, they killed it.

    Another band that I thought I wouldn't like live was the Black Keys. Go see them. They surprised me.

    Oingo Boingo at the Warfield in 1992. No opening band - just 3 hours of rolicking fun music without a single break. Danny Elfman is a MACHINE.

    He is. NICE!!!

    Favorite ever was Shinedown's Anything & Everything tour in December 2010 at a small venue in STL called the Pageant...I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Brent Smith and the gang!!!

    Another great one was 3 Doors Down in 2008. Jet Black Stare, Hinder and Staind opened for them. It was an awesome show...started at 6pm and at 11pm, 3DD was STILL doing encores. Gotta love it when even the band doesn't want the rock to end...lol.

    Prince Roger Nelson, he had a play ground and the biggest bed on stage. It was sooooo much going on. Then it snowed purple. I love him so much. (it was in the 90's I remember it though)

    I have to say that Green Day sure did suprise me. I thought I'd be bored watching them. But, they killed it.

    Green Day was my favorite band for pretty much my entire life between 8 years old and 19 years old. Then I saw the American Idiot tour...I didn't listen to them again for nearly 4 years.

    I was so angry when I left that show because rather than playing music that spanned more than 20 years they played the American Idiot album in order from start to finish...and then threw a few old songs in at the end. I like the American Idiot album...but it pisses me off when a band practically ignores the music that got them to where they were in the first place.

    Since 21st Century Breakdown came out however I've decided that I was mad long enough and gone back to listening to them. I really do love their music. Including American Idiot...I'm just not sure I'd go to another show.
