In 2008, I think I attended a record number of live shows. In no order, I saw the following artists: The Bulletboys, Joey Belladonna, Van Halen, AC/DC, The Answer, Bang Tango, L.A. Guns, Faster Pussycat, Hinder, Rev Theory, Trapt, Papa Roach, Buckcherry, Motley Crue, Poison, Sebastian Bach, Dokken, Airbourne, Theory of a Deadman, Disturbed, Slipknot, Endeverafter, Stonerider, RATT, Jackyl, Pop Evil and more.

Hopefully 2009 will be as good as 2008 from a live perspective!

The following are my favorites of 2008!

5. Bang Tango, L.A. Guns and Faster Pussycat

Ok, so none of these bands have their original lineups anymore.  Does that mean that they rock less?  Absolutely not. Bang Tango kicked ass. Marty Casey proved to be a good front man for the the Tracii Guns version of L.A. Guns, and Faster Pussycat was still sleazy as ever.

4. Stonerider, Endeverafter and Airbourne

This was my first Airbourne experience, and I will never forget it.  Stonerider and Endeverafter kicked ass too.
A great show for a mere $10.00.

3. Mayhem Festival

At this show the bands that I caught live were Black Tide, Five Finger Death Punch, Airbourne, Dragonforce, Disturbed and Slipknot.
I got to meet the guys in Dragonforce and Airbourne at this show.  This was my first time seeing Slipknot live. A crazy day and some great live shows!

2. Cruefest

I am biased, but I love seeing Motley Crue live.  They may not be the best band in the world, but they do put on one of the best live shows. Buckcherry, Sixx A.M. and Papa Roach were all great too!

AC/DC

1. AC/DC with The Answer

Even though my seats were terrible, this show was excellent, and I enjoyed every minute of it. I loved getting to see The Answer for the first time. AC/DC puts on one the biggest and loudest live shows that I have ever seen. Awesome!

    I was at one of the AC/DC with THE ANSWER shows. One BAD ASS show. I never heard of the ANSWER befor but as soon as they came on I was blown away. Along with that AC/DC was kicking major ass. AC/DC IS IN FACT the definition of what Rock and Roll should be.
