Metallica
Linkin Park
The Darkness
Bowling For Soup
Simple Plan :)rolleyes:)
Red Hot Chilli Peppers (x2/x3!)
Queens Of The Stone Age
Foo Fighters
Feeder

They are the main bands anyways...
 
-Korn
-P.O.D.
-Mudvayne
-Amen
-Static-X
-Slipknot

They're all from my youth metal phase, I hardly listen to any of that stuff anymore ;) though I'd yet like to see bands like Slayer and Metallica live.
 
A Perfect Circle, Zwan, Cake, the eels and a couple more that weren't that great.
 
I'll just name my fave. 'big name band' gigs; Anthrax, Peter Gabriel (best show eva), Sepultura, Slayer, Metallica (nothing off St.Anger played, lots of Kill 'Em All, ace), Dream Theater.
 
Only been to one concert, The Unholy Alliance; Slipknot and Slayer. Saw Hatebreed there too, but missed Mastodon like a lot of people who went to that show I think.

Linkin Park,
Spunge (american Band)
Something Corperate

Damn right. Have you seen the Growing Up Live DVD? That was the show, well, not that exact one, but the same only I saw it in Birmingham. A-mazing show. Solsbury Hill was brilliant. And I got to see Tony Levin in the flesh. D:
 
Backstreet Boys(EWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
RUSH
and also might be going to see U2 in Italy, yay!
 
I'm seeing Streetligh Manifesto, Voodoo Glow Skulls, and Mu330 tomorrow! Other than that the only band I've seen live (that is worth mentioning) is Five Iron Frenzy.
 
None, most of my favourite bands stay on the far side of the atlantic :(

Yeah it was really really good. It was with a bigger band than his quartet though, which was cool. He's about a million years old now, so it looked as if he might keel over and die at any minute, which certainly lent a potential drama to the proceedings.
 
Muse (and The Zutons as support)
And Jools Holland and his band when they played at Lincoln Castle

I don't think he is, the Growing Up tour was pretty big and spectacular. Where do you live in the 'ol world? He went pretty far with the tour.

I remember watching Foo Fighters and Muse in the pissing rain at night with a smile in my heart and trenchfoot in my shoes.
 
To be honest, I haven't seen any big bands live. I would kill to see Dream Theater. Or Nirvana, but I don't think that happening.

The biggest I've seen is Mailman's Neighbor, and that because I'm their bassisst.
