Top Five:
5 GWAR - multiple times, I will keep going as long as I can.
4 Metallica '89. I still have two concert shirts. Early metal in a massive venue. Really cool to watch a band get so big when everyone else seemed to hate them.
3 Slayer, Anthrax, Megadeath and Alice in Chains - Vancouver around 1990. Amazing lineup and a great chance to see early Alice in Chains. Was this the Monsters of Rock festival? I forget.
2 Alice in Chains in Seattle during the heyday of the grunge scene. Amazing thing to watch and being in Seattle at the time was pretty cool. Layne sat at the front of the stage and sang, and if you know this band he can almost bring tears to your eyes.
1 Tool - mid 90's. There will never be another singer like MJK ever. I think I saw them twice during the period where he actually was part of the show. Even if you hate metal, if he ever goes back to the front of the stage you have to see it. He is my all time favorite singer even though he is not the best singer at all. I will still go see them, but wish they still kept MJK at the front.
I have seen many smaller metal bands in very small venues, those are pretty much the only concerts I will go to now.
