Other concerts that come to mind - Metallica on the 93 Black Album tour, Maiden 10 years earlier (World Piece Tour), Diamond Dave's Skyscraper tour... Queensryche's Promised Land, Ozzy's Theatres of Madness.. Crue in 86...

Black Sabbath with Headless Cross was another awesome show, Ian Gillan joined in for Paranoid and Smoke on the Water and there were guys from Pretty Maids and Mercyful Fate in the audience and I remember running like maniacs to catch the last boat home .. god bless the Oresundsbron! http://www.oresundsbron.com/

Worst - there's been a few. Iron Maiden - I saw them twice in 88, one was great and the other totally sucked... Dio's Sacred Heart tour - fancy stage show but still not very good (Keel blew them away!!), Ozzy's Ozzmosis show - not much more than one hour on stage, Oz could barely sing and that guitarist...

The worst show I ever had the misfortune to see was however Backyard Babies/Drain STH/Clawfinger. I saw the Babies once before and they were great, I loved their album... they come out looking like wannabe punk rockers and play ONE song from their album and a lot of new, different and crappy material. Drain were quite OK, just never been a big favorite, and Clawfinger... they suck on record and they sucked even more live. What a bunch of no-talent posers... I think we left after three songs that were total garbage.. ]]> Maciej NoticeboardMon, 10 Jul 2000 21:36:05 +1000 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,2839,3001#msg-3001 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,2839,3001#msg-3001NB I AM NOT BELGIAN !

Bulletboys - Edinburgh Venue - not long after their first album was released - they were truly awful. They were onstage for less time than the length of an average David Lee Roth rap, and the best response of the night was when the DJ played 'Love in an Elevator' about 2 hrs before they came on. I've *never* seen a
crowd so singularly unimpressed with a band.]]> mark kennedy NoticeboardSun, 09 Jul 2000 07:35:22 +1000 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,2839,2977#msg-2977 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,2839,2977#msg-2977

I've seen a lot of shows with him, but that one was something special.
I couldn't sleep for days after that show.......

Also I got the pleasure to see GUN before it was too late in a small club here in Gothenburg in the fall of 1994 (Swagger-tour).
They really ROCKED.....GUN was the best band around before they got insane with thier horrible fourth and last album....too bad....
It could have helped the hole melodic scene if they would have followed the path....

It was a great rock show, before he did a lot of that schlop like the duet with Streisand and so on.....and he was playing with the entire band, not a 3 piece like on this last tour.

Lots of energy, both from him and the audience....everyone was standing up and screaming the entire concert like wild animals (that's what I love about the crowds in Mx, a lot of times in the US they just stand around and clap lamely or some shit, here people scream and sing along til they die!). You just couldn't help getting into it and singing at the top of your lungs. Plus, he did the B-stage thing where he's pop up with his band in the middle of the audience and that was like being in first row for me! Just pure fun, a kick ass rock show. Anyone who says Bryan's not a big rocker has not seen these huge shows. And to top it off, he sang this song about Mexico City and everyone went nuts......(called Mexico City Blues or something.....something about getting a señorita and getting some tequila, etc...).

Worst concert.......Heart in Mexico City on the Desire Walks on Tour........phuck!

Scorpions - Liverpool Empire. Lovedrive tour
Judas Priest - Manchester Apollo, Ram it Down tour.
Nine Inch Nails - Manchester Academy, Downward Spiral tour.

There are tons I've forgotten about but possibly the best of all was...
