I saw them while sitting down, but I think if you wanted you could go down and stand by the stage. It was still very good, despite the cold wind, at least no bird shat on me.

Ragnarok, because it was a hell ov a show and because Hoest (Taake) kicked the shit out a stupid cunt in the crowd.

That, goodsirs, would be Napalm Death, Cannibal Corpse, Kataklysm, and Goatwhore on their November tour. Napalm Death was the highlight. They played 'Suffer the Children' from Harmony Corruption, and Barney has waaaaay more energy then his fatness, baldness, and basically looking like my alcoholic uncle-ness would suggest.

CC was another great act, and though I've seen them once before, and they played essentially the same set, they still kicked loads of ass.

I didn't really care about the other two bands, but Goatwhore put on a cool show as well.

Iron Maiden
Lost Horizon (40 minute set at Sweden Rock Festival)

Saxon & Dream Evil last year was pretty special to - it's not every gig I get to scream "INTO THE MOOOONLIIIIIIGHT" into the microphone.

mine would have to be Iron Maiden I saw under the moniker Charlot & the Harlots in London in 1989 or 1990... great to see a big band in a small club !

I have seen a few big concerts like Iron Maiden and Slayer but the most enjoyable were the small venues.

Krisiun/Morbid Angel was pretty cool but the most fun I had at a concert was Meshuggah and Furia.

Symphony X when they supported Stratovarius (I did find that rather amusing) Michael Romeo and his guitar kicks ass:)

The best concerts that I have attended have been: Accept in 93 - 96.
U.D.O. in Finland on Timebomb tour, Man And Machine tour and Thunderball tour in 2004.
Pretty Maids and Running Wild in 1990.
Nightwish on Wishmaster tour.
Stratovarius on Destiny tour.
Hammerfall on Crimson Thunder tour.

Well, good concerts are very limited from where I live, but the one's that I have seen that i liked are:

Symphony X - HOLY CRAP are these guys good live.

The Devin Townsend Band - Fun but a lot funner with....
Strapping Young Lad - Awsome show.

3 inches of Blood - Very fun. KILL THE ORCS!! Found the drummer very interesting, since it seemed like he was playing with an incomplete drum kit.

Cellador - can't say enough about these guys.

That is pretty much it. I will be seeing Stratovarius this Sept. in Chicago. Hope it truns out as good as I hope.

Iron Maiden( they're a classic, what would you expect)
Blind Guardian(best live performance EVER!!!)
Axel Rudi Pell + Queensryche(both very good)
Iced Earth( i actually was at the alive in athens concert but since i was only 9 at the time, i don't remember much except that a fat greek guy almost puked some mussaka(sp?) on me. :shock: )

i went to a lot more concerts but nothing 'outstanding'

on Sunday saw Manowar/Rhapsody/Holy Hell

Manowar were fucking amazing, the sound was simply perfect. Eric Adams is unbelievable, the vocal performance was awesome.

Rhapsody were pretty good, but felt very artificial, had too much double bass drumming, The Drum Solo was not needed at all, setlist wasn't very good.

Holy Hell were pretty good, too bad I missed their first 3 songs.
