With the CVD-19 virus putting everything on halt, I've been wondering what band's I've seen in concerts and who I would like to see in concert. As much I appreciate that bands are streaming performances, it's not the same as actually seeing the band in concert. The energy a band gives off when you see them live is like nothing you can experience through a computer or a t.v. screen. The audience engaging with the band is awesome. The sound of a bands playing is so much better in person vs streaming. With that, here are 5 bands I recommend to see in concert post CVD-19.
5. Megadeth
Considering that Dave Mustaine has recovered from his caner and is still able to play guitar and sing, I would put this band high on your list. One reason is that Megadeth is a great live band and are all phenomenal musicians. Another though is that we don't know much longer Dave Mustaine can last. True he recovered this time, but cancer can return and has for many other musicians. I hope and pray that this doesn't happen to Dave Mustaine, but you can't be sure. So for both great music and the possibility of not being able to see them live again, gotta check out Megadeth.
4. Alice Cooper
Alice Cooper was originally supposed to be retired but decided to hit the road again and that is a true blessing. Not only do I recommend him for his shock stunts during live shows, but he has an amazing band line up. Chuck Garric is a good musician and good bassist and Nita Strauss is an amazing guitarist. When you see a line up of great musicians like that, how can you now want to see that. Alice Cooper is also very good about giving his band their time to shine. They are not his touring band, he makes them a big part of his show. If you want to Alice Cooper as well as an amazing band, you got to check out Alice Cooper.
3. The Gazette
I have personally seen this band live twice and both times were amazing. The band has a great energy and just dominates the stage. The singer and bassist do a great job interacting with the audience. They also sound very good live. Their guitar tone is amazing and the drums sound great. I have seen some of this band's concert DVDs and I can assure you that they don't do justice. They use to not come to the U.S. but they are doing it more frequently now and I highly recommend listening to them.
2. Sabaton
Sabaton has developed a reputation over years a band that just dominates at festivals. Their singer is famous for how much he interacts and engages with the audience. He does a great job of making the audience feel like they are part of the show and it has really helped launch them further. If you want to see a good concert as well as be part of it, this is one band you need to check out.
1. Trans Siberian Orchestra
I have seen Trans Siberian Orchestra three times and every time I was blown away. They have a lot of lights, lasers, and pyro in their shows that really takes it over the top. More importantly though, they have the music to back it up. Every musician in this band is amazing and gives it all they got. What I find really interesting is the wide range of demographics they attract. If you are metal head or a rocker, this is up you ally. However, if you are also a classical music fan and/or Christmas music fan, this is for you as well. Despite the fact that they clearly are rockers, they can still attract many demographics and that is something unique about them. If you and to see a show with great theatrics as well as fantastic music. I recommend TSO.
