    In some sense, Powerwolf. The only concert I ever went to, I was really surprised to learn that apparently I hate concerts and will never go to one again.

      Primitive Man, on tour for their 2017 album Caustic. They're one of the heaviest bands I've ever heard. I saw them at Lee's Palace in Toronto and they made debris fall from the ceiling.

      Spectral Voice opened for them and were also incredible - maybe as good or better than Blood Incantation who they share members with.

        I saw "No Men" play a tiny show and it's still one of my favorites. They put on a great show and also they were super friendly with everyone in the crowd. I saw them another time after at a bigger venue and they even remembered me and my friend.

          True Body. Went to a show to see Pharmakon and True Body opened for them. The stage presence was intense and I can't wait to see them again if the opportunity arises

            King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard

            I already loved their albums when I discovered them in '16, but once I saw them live i was totally hooked. They've only been getting better since, especially after they dumped their second drummer (rip Eric I miss you but you totally held the other drummer back). Every single show I've seen since was such a blast! More and more jammy too, which I really enjoy.

            Also, I saw The Colour Haze last Friday and they were much better love than I expected as well.

              Almost all of them. Live music is one of the greatest things to experience.

                Iron maiden puts on one hell of a performance. Bruce Dickinson running back-and-forth across the stage climbing shit, singing with an incredible vocal range at the top of his lungs without missing a beat, costume changes every song or two that match the album covers being projected behind their giant zombie that's shooting fire...

                  City and Colour. Dallas is an incredible musician, and his band complimented him so well.

                    Mushroomhead at a small venue were amazing, I've been to the venue so many times and never seen anyone do anything interesting but they were there were impressive lighting and water on the drums that was flying everywhere catching the light. Was great.

                    Sub Focus and Chase & Status in a tiny little venue (Chinese Laundry in Sydney) that was like a little grotto. Ceiling so low I couldn't even stretch my arms up straight with sweet raining on everyone. Amazing.

                    Die Antwoord with a load of acid in my system was pretty intense.

                    Finally the entire Shambhala festival in Canada. The DJ playing obviously increases enjoyment but the stages are so fucking mind blowing that it is without a doubt the best live music experience I have had!

                              I was the DD for my girlfriend’s birthday party and went to a Florence and the Machine show. It was outdoors and as the show got started black storm clouds started rolling in.

                              When they started “The Dog Days Are Over” all hell broke loose. Sheets of rain, huge lightning bolts and cracking thunder loud enough to drown out the music and the crowd.

                              But Florence stood there, exposed to it all, diaphanous robes lashed by the wind, not even noticing it as she belted out her anthem. As if she had called down the storm for backup vocals.

                              I wasn’t a fan before but I am now.

                                "A". New-wave metal punk. They supported The Offspring back in 2000 when they were touring and blew them completely out of the water (and The Offspring are GREAT live too) and they have been my favourite band ever since.

                                I HIGHLY recommend their album "Monkey Kong" with some decent headphones.

                                  Slipknot puts on a pretty damn good show.

                                  They're not a band that's in my usual listening rotation, I don't dislike them, they're just not my usual kind of music. When I saw them it was a situation where someone I knew ended up with extra tickets somehow and I was more interested in the other bands they were touring with

                                  I'd say they stole the show but I think they were actually the headliner, so I don't know who they would've stolen it from.

                                  I'm admittedly a sucker for a spectacle, and let's be real, that's kind of slipknot's whole schtick.

                                      I had the privilege to see them live about 8 years ago and it was an incredible show. Dickinson has incredible stage presence; really puts a lot of energy into the show to keep the crowd engaged.

                                      The giant animatronic zombie freaked me out a bit. It was enormous and moved realistically enough to be unsettling since I wasn't that far away from it. Most metal shit I've ever seen in person.

                                        Roger Waters: The Wall. Kinda redefined what i would expect from a concert/musical performance

                                        Giant inflatable puppets, building a giant wall out of blocks on stage throughout the concert and projecting imagery onto the new sections as its built, then knocking it down

                                          There are lots of great live bands but maybe these were most memorable for various reasons:
                                          Magma (just hypnotic), Lazuli (very entertaining live band every single time), The Pineapple Thief (great prog rock with incredible drummer), The Musical Box (playing and re-acting old Genesis. Too young to see the originals but just in time to see the remakes), Le Silo (super high energy duo or trio, don't even remember, but man that was wild), Aranis (they don't exist anymore unfortunately)
