re: Best live performances: Metal

Seen so many good ones.

LOG at Ozzfest right when AOTW came out and they blew up.

Opeth opening for LOG at the Masquerade.

Gojira opening for LOG before I knew who they were.

Black Dahlia Murder multiple times, but the best was in Hell at the Masquerade a few years back.

1989 Metallica is a good one, I'd say the Russian concert was a bigger deal though.

Harvester of Sorrow

My personal fave I saw live was:

Ozzy Ozbourne on the No More Tours tour when he went into retirement after the No More Tears album. Of course we all know the retirement didn't last, but the show was phenomenal!!

Alice in Chains was the opening act and killed it. Then when it came time for Ozzy to come on and the first couple of notes of War Pigs sounded I actually got goose bumps and had them for the rest of the show.

This was pre-internet days so I had no idea that it was pretty much going to be Black Sabbath. The only member of Black Sabbath that wasn't there playing was Tommu Iommi, which didn't bother me at all since Ozzy's guitarist at the time was Zack Wylde.

They played about 3 or 4 Ozzy songs. The rest of the 2.5 hours they played was all Sabbath.

Zak Wylde is a douche bag.

But he is a beast on the guitar. That's all I care about.
