I like horror themed music and I really like Alice Cooper. I had always liked him from the radio but never heard more than the basic hits played, nothing deeper (like the darker songs that made him famous), and I had always heard how awesome his theatrical stage show was, but had never actually seen it.

Then one Halloween a few years back they actually had his "Brutally Live" DVD available as a pay-per-view, so I got to see the stage show and hear a great sampling of all of those hits at once, and it was amazing! It totally turned me into a huge Alice fan, and as I really got into him, it turns out that concert really was the perfect one to see what his hype was about.

I would whole-heartedly recommend it to anyone who has ever been curious about him, his theatrical concerts, or horror fans who are just looking for something fun to watch one night. The DVD is pretty cheap, and well worth it!
 
I'd see more bands if travel wasn't a factor. No one comes to my town...

That said, I've seen (in chronological order :)) Iron Maiden, NIN, GNR (x3 - I LOVED GNR when I was 16-18... never listen to them now though...), Faith No More (x2), Soundgarden, U2, PJ Harvey, The Lemonheads, Bjork (x2), Oasis, Radiohead (x5 and counting!), REM, Hole, Pulp, Sigar Ros, Coldplay (the shame... :D In my defense, it was before they were famous), The White Stripes, Muse (x3), RHCP (not a big fan, but great live!), Audioslave, Kings of Leon, The Killers... and those are the ones I remember...

Best gig ever? Radiohead's home coming gig at South Park (yep, the t-shirts were great! Matt and Trey were there, apparently)in Oxford, July 2001. Fantastic!
 
Yeah my big obsession lately have been Glam and Proto-Punk bands, NY Dolls, Stooges, Johnny Thunders, Alice Cooper (only the first 3 records), Sweet. I don't know why, not to say I don't like other things, it's just what I've been feeling.

ALSO- GUITAR WOLF, one of the best bands ever that not enough people know!
 
Guitar Wolf is one of the better bands to come from the land of the rising sun.

Well, I'll toss in the 5,6,7,8's too..
