That is a great answer.

Have you seen both their rock and country shows?

[hogua]

Here's a few that I've seen recently that should/could be on this list too:

Metallica

Foo Fighter

Velvet Revolver (if they're not too wasted. seen then wasted and not so wasted)

No Doubt - not really rock but awesome live

Queens of the Stone Age (although I haven't seen them with new members yet)

Red Hot Chili Peppers

Bad Religion

Social Distortion

The Killers

Cyprus Hill (not rock but incredible)

Green Day

311

Pennywise


Oh does Radiohead even count? They do like one to two shows a year (in the US at least). To be the best live band, don't you have to play live a few more times than that?

I'm pretty sure to be the best live band, you have to put on the best live show.

My vote goes to 2 Skinnee Js. They're not rock, but I don't know what the hell else they are.

i just want to state right now that anyone who votes for u2 should seriously consider...uh...attending some different concerts.

[/ QUOTE ]

is more likely implying U2 sucks live

then U2 is a great live band but there are some new bands out there that are awesome live

[/ QUOTE ]

that's ridiculous.

[/ QUOTE ]

Not at all.

[/ QUOTE ]

yes it is. you imply that since his comment has to either be completely negative about U2 or completely positive about U2. the thing people dont get is that U2 isnt even close to one of the best bands theyll ever see. that doesnt mean anyone here HATES U2. Hype has turned an average band into gods...

Why do people only look at the biggest, most popular bands for polls like this? Doesn't anyone here appreciate music that is not made by famous people? Christ.

The best rock and roll bands in the world, IMO, are made up of young, hungry folks who put all the passion and energy of youth into creating frenetic, honest, loud, from the heart, uncorrupted by money and label pressures, rock.

It is not music played by wealthy, egomaniacal, don't have to struggle for anything in life, old men.

Open your f'in eyes people. There is more to music that what you find at WalMart.
