Undómiel Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 This is great They should have been #1, but second is very good too! What? Apparently Rammenstein do this shit. :/ Yeah, that's another thing I don't get: "The Blackout - The Best Live Band in Britain!" But they don't make that countdown at all, while a load of other British bands do. Or is that the point? I've not actually picked up this week's issue yet, so... Yeah I think they purposefully omitted them cause they'd had the massive feature earlier in the mag... My thoughts exactly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greendaytone Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Cool, thanks for posting this. Yeah Green Day seemed to be getting rated in lots of these lists lately, but never number 1! We all know they are the best though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoothed Out Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Haha, apologies! I'm not even sure. Based on the stuff that I've heard, they're alright, but I don't get the big deal about them. K! apparently does, though. Haha no worries Never even heard them I must admit...it was like one day everyone was plodding along then BAM Letlive zomg best band ever must listen now. I know right? They don't give Green Day nearly enough love... :/ Kerrang! are really repetative...I mean, how many times can you do a friggin poll or a countdown within a year. One week it'll be oooh the best band ever is *insert name here* then a week later, well they're a bit shit...but this new band is so awesome!! Yeah not bitter at all.

Guest Charlotte. Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Haha no worries Never even heard them I must admit...it was like one day everyone was plodding along then BAM Letlive zomg best band ever must listen now. Haha yeah. I remember when they were first featured in that greatest rockstars countdown. Everyone was like I kind of get what they're trying to do - they get so much criticism over who they feature (Paramore etc.) that it seems like they're trying to reverse it with these "surprising" results in their 324834 countdowns. Sadly for them, I don't think they're not doing it very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely agree with you because they now have the permanent 2 page spread filled with new bands every single week, they're trying to be too clever I think.

Wobbie Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 When I saw the tread title I had a feeling it would be Rammstein at number 1. I can see why people would think they are the best live band because they have the most epic pyro/stage show in the world. But that doesn't make them the best live band it just means they have a very good pyro team behind them. Green day ARE the best live band because as that article says, they cover everything and they do it over 3 solid hours of one of the most memorable back catalogues in history. Not to mention the fact they have, hands down, the best frontman alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonitsa Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Rammstein first ok. I've seen them once and they were ok, but nothing compared to GD Also I find Metallica extremely boring... Iron Maiden and Alice Cooper are great live bands, though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Miguel Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 hmmm.... i think Foxboro Hot Tubs should've been in the top 20 as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie, get your gun Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Do I know rammstein?... I can't remember. It's a good position for Green Day, but for me they're in #1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a peculiar name Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 This is awesome, but I think Green Day IS the best band ever to see live. I have never been to a show that was even comparable to a Green Day Show. Y'know I mean people get to touch the band, some "musicians" would be like "woa woa woa -don't dare to come near to me. I'm a STAR." And Green Day just isn't like that. They come,play and have a good time with everyone. Also the tickets are really cheap- music for everyone, and that's how it should be. A true musician wants to show people his music and not get 9856389$ Rage n undying Love Green Day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holly Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Well, we all know Green Day are undisputedly number one really. I really love the write up they did, I stood in a shop reading it and beaming with pride, bit weird, but it just gave me a warm fuzzy feeling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InvaderPhantom Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 For anyone who wants to see how the number one best live band according to Kerrang is: Warning: Contains fake penises Green Day is definitely better than that (and slightly less disturbing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brigister Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 So true, infacts I have to say that I prefer live Green Day than studio Green Day, they're all about perfection in live performances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elena Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 aw damn, i hate Rammstein -.- but well, number 2 is also veeerry good ...maybe green day use a kitchen sink on stage on the next tour, just cos kerrang wrote that that was missing thar would be sooo funny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestboundSign! Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 For anyone who wants to see how the number one best live band according to Kerrang is: Warning: Contains fake penises :mellow: I have to say that this kinda scared me.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drankolz Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Well thats just Rammstein. I heard they are very good live, and they use an insane amount of pyro. Still, their concerts are very, very expansive - far more than 100€ for a ticket. For me, Green Day is the number one live band, and many bands I saw live somehow use Green Day moments in their shows. That alone shows how awesome they actually are, everyone is trying to copy them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cameron. Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 What the fuck is Slipknot, Enter Shikari, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Bring Me The Horizon, and Paramore doing on this? Two of those bands a lot of people have never heard of, and for good reason. Just because Slipknot has over 9000 members doesnt make their show good.

letterbomb_19 Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I don´t understand why Green day isn´t #1... even if #2 is also very good, but Green Day is definetly the best live band! they have such an energy on stage and they don´t sell the tickets for a high prize. they think very much about their fans and sell the concerts tickets for a fair prize, so that everybody can buy one. Green Day would deserve the first place, no doubt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
