Led Zeppelin with Jason Bonham on drums (I've seen Plant/Paige, Plant, and John Paul Jones seperately)

The band must exist currently, and you can only see it in their current form. You can say a band where all/most of the members are still alive, but are not together (e.g., Pink Floyd). No historical bands (e.g. Roth-era Van Halen). Basically, if the band was to go on tour tomorrow, would you pay $100 to see them in their current form?

No opening act.

I could only think of two:

1. Tool
2. Radiohead

Tool and Radiohead are in the same category to me: the best in their genre, and most likely not going to exist anymore in the near future. I'd give pretty good odds that this is Tools last go-around, and Radiohead may have another album in them, but you never know.

Anyway, what are your bands that you would see?

Definitely Tool

Although I keep saying there is NO WAY I am paying more than $80 to see any band or artist... but I just shelled out $125 for Dream Theater back in January... but then I am in fricking Hong Kong, and chances are they might never come here. Hmm... I think other than Dream Theater and a Pink Floyd reunion tour, there is no way I am paying that much for anyone else.

1) Dream Theater
2) Symphony X
3) Soilwork
4) Joe Satriani

I would pay $100 to see any of those bands live right now w/ no opening act.

Historic bands that I would see if they reformed:

The Newsted-era Metallica, ONLY if 1) they only played songs from their first 5 albums and if 2) James stopped crooning at the end of every vocal line and sang like a man.

2) Friedman/Mustaine/Ellefson/Menza. Enough fucking said. My god, this was the best fucking band ever put together.

3) OSI

4) Th!nkAdectOmy - old friends of mine. Maybe the best local band I ever saw. I'd love to hang out with those guys from Tucson again & take in a show. Back in '97, '98 or so, they were the most fun band I'd ever seen live. A very animated trio and they were good friends of mine years ago.

Considering that on Saturda I saw The Faceless and Arsis with 6 other bands at a venue where I got to hangout with every band before/after their sets and could literally touch the guitarists/bassists feet from where I was standing, all for $12, fuck no! I even got 2 shirts for 10 bucks each... it was a steal.


Decapitated, Krisiun, and Six Feet Under are playing there on Saturday for 15 bucks - this place is like 5 minutes from my house.

I'd never pay 100 bucks to see any band, besides maybe a Carcass reunion.

GODFLESH REUNION.

Really? Fuck. I tried so hard to make it to Download this year but couldn't go in the end... fuck MOP eh?

Yes, it was fucking awesome. In fact the only songs they played that weren't Black album or earlier were Fuel and a new, very shit, song. That was honestly the best festival I've ever been to. Down, Arch Enemy, Sikth, Devildriver, Alice in Chains, Trivium, Korn and Metallica all in one day for £60.

I thought they were pretty ropey when they first came on, there was definitely some problems with James' rhythm playing which I would never have expected from him. Seeing all of Master of Puppets was cool though
