    I will start.. so let me see if I count EVERY single band/artist/musician I have ever seen live since my childhood, it starts a bit shameful and progressively gets better xD

    (Chronological Order)

    Vanessa Carlton (she played at Sea World when I worked there lol)
    KYO
    KoRn
    Nightwish (with Anette 2008, sweet jeebus ear rape)
    Rammstein
    Tarja (2009, 2011 x2, 2012)
    Leaves' Eyes (2011, 2012)
    Amberian Dawn (2009, 2011)
    Epica (2009, 2012)
    Tristania (with Mariangela 2011, again ear rape)
    Van Canto (2011)
    Xandria (2011, 2012)
    Stream of Passion (2012)
    Satan Jokers (2012, does it count if my band opened for them? xD)
    Worn-Out (2012, from the same show where my band played)
    Firewind (2012)

    I am sure there are more than that but that is all I remember for now.. there's a lot of little bands too.
    I am also in 2 associations that organize metal concerts in my area locally, so I "work" at some of these shows as a bar wench and often as a translator since I'm an American living in France and the only one able to speak English fluently in the association.

    "I dunno..like every hardcore band in the 80s?! :D As for now, I'd go see Frank Turner every night if I could lol.. "

    I'm very active in current hardcore, so I've seen way too many bands to count or list, but I went to the Revelation Records reunion over the summer and it was fantastic. Gorilla Biscuits and Supertouch were my favorite. I get to see the Cro-Mags again next week too :]

    I would have killed to see 80's hardcore bands in their prime. Who was your favorite? Did you ever see Warzone?

    The only concert I've ever been to was 2012's Trans-Siberian Orchestra's Christmas show in Houston.

    I'm kinda worried it'll be hard for other bands to top that.
