Bands you discovered at concerts

Yeah, so we have already talked about bands we discovered here at Metal Storm. But what about great bands you first heard at a concert? An opening band or maybe even the headliners (if you by any chance just came for the openers).
For me, the most important surely is Deathstars. I was at the Cradle of Filth concert in Gothenburg and Deathstars were the opening band. I had only heard Cyanide before that, and didn't really listen to it. Why should I have? They looked so damn emo and I instantly thought "not another Marilyn Manson band". But at the concert the band blew me away already with the first song, Tounges. I thought it was so damn good, but felt a little ashamed since all the small girls (typical "emo-fjortisar" as we call them here in Sweden) knew all the lyrics. So I took a look at my friend and saw him moving his head to the music. So I carefully said: "This is kinda good". And he thought so too. When "Play God" came I knew I just had to buy the album ASAP! Good thing I did, today I hold Termination Bliss among my favourites.
What more do we have? Evile at the Megadeth concert were awesome, but I rather complete my Slayer discography first. Mastodon and One Man Army & the Undead Quartet are also great bands I discovered at concerts. The most important after Deathstars is certainly Sepultura at an In Flames show. I had just heard some bad samples from them and thought they sucked. But when they opened up with Refuse/Resist I knew that it was a band for me. Especially since I really recognized the song but couldn't figure out where I had heard it before. Very annoying, I could hum along to the whole song. After a while I realised that Apocalyptica had made a cover of it.

I heard of them and checked out their myspace but I really first discovered Vader when going to see a Deicide show, I really liked Piotr's voice which is quite comprehensible and simultaneously very loud and brutal!

Turned on to so many bands that opened for others. Most recently Obscurra opening for Cannibal Corpse. Also from the past... Machine Head, Def Tones and Coal Chamber, all who opened for Pantera Many openers I have realized I don't need to listen to... Like The Faceless, they have opened twice and I just can't get into them. I will do NuMetal, but I can't handle the screamo-emo stuff!

Written by ScreamingSteelUS on 14.01.2011 at 19:21 A whole bunch of musicians are apparently very good at this. Heard some stories about Vital Remains too, for example. Can't blame them though. What would you do if you had some female fans? I'd also say that only making a few moves on a girl is something there's nothing inherently wrong with. If you don't take no for an answer though, then you're probably a latent homo.

I don't know if I mentioned this before, but the last one I discovered was a Portuguese band called "Last One Standing", they played like an interesting tech death type of thing from what I can remember and it was very entertaining. It was a lot of months ago but I just remembered that now. It was a local gig here, so it was surprising. Another good band I discovered in Moita Metal fest was Atentado, really bad/destructive for your ears, but amazing stuff.

A big one for me was Decrepit Birth. As they've become one of my favorite bands of all time. Their performance completely blew my mind. I felt like Bill was reaching into my soul.  The dude is insane on stage but chill and cool off stage.
