buy your tickets early they won’t last
long with these guys
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be counting down our picks for the top
ten current live musical bands
for this list will only be looking at
conventional live instrument bands
rather than electronic based groups such
as Daft Punk as well we are looking
exclusively advanced rather than solo
artists such as Lady gaga
or Taylor Swift regardless of how
energy-packed their live show may be
and I’ll write your name
number ten Arcade Fire goes down when
the sun goes down
if variety is what you’re looking for in
a live performance then you can’t go
wrong with this Canadian indie rock
route
the members of the band are capable of
playing a wide selection of different
instruments from mandolins to saxophones
and sins and will often mix up their
roles during live performances this
makes for a dynamic experience that will
likely be different for every single gig
the reflector tour was notable as the
band asked fans to dress up in formal
attire or a costume to create a live
experience like no other
number nine Foo Fighters
even with frontman Dave Grohl confined
to a seat with a broken leg Foo Fighters
remain one of the most enthralling
groups to see live that particular
injury was of course sustained during a
typically energetic performance in
Sweden which Grohl then completed
to say their live performances are
defined whether energy would barely
scratch the surface in short they stand
and deliver a blend of Punk spirit rock
and roll attitude and pop sensibility
that has grown far beyond girls Nirvana
roots and into something wholly unique
number eight news
you
this English trio has a unique sound
that combines dark melancholic tones
with pop elements that appeals to a
broad audience
they’ve been headlining some of the
world’s biggest music festivals for
years and are known for their operatic
live shows due in large part to frontman
Matt Bellamy’s larger-than-life vocals
music critics have also recognized the
credentials behind their performances
including nabbing two Brit Awards for
best live act
use of experimented with different
genres of music and so you never quite
know what you might get but you’ll sure
as hell get your money’s worth
number seven Coldplay
this
you get exactly what you came for when
you take in a live Coldplay show from
questions
science
they are equally capable of producing a
mellow track to tug at the heartstrings
as they are of making a high-tempo tune
that gets hearts in the crowd pumping
whether it is the solemn the scientist
or the ultra classic clocks they will
take you through a range of emotions
another band to explore various genres
they have an often surreal sound that
will touch you like no other group quite
can
number six Nine Inch Nails
though Nine Inch Nails essentially
started as a one-man band musical
mastermind Trent Reznor can only do so
much when it comes to performing his
songs on stage do
don’t be
fortunately Trent Reznor and is
constantly changing backing band know
exactly how to get you moshing in no
time thanks to their energetic and
intense style of industrial rock
last screen
whether you’re cracking out the tissues
for the lighter waving ballad hurt or
head banging along to the unforgiving
March of the pigs there’s a little
something for everyone when Reznor and
company are up on stage
number five Metallica at the scene
tonight
they were one of the first rash metal
bands to make their mark
but Metallica are now one of the most
recognizable names in music
they took the APRA mentioned genre to
another level with their aggressive
approach to creating music while their
no-frills method makes for a raw live
experience that few of their peers can
ever hope to reproduce
they have diverted from their thrash
routes towards more heavy or hard rock
sound throughout the years but you would
be mad to pass on Metallica when they
set up shop in your back yard
yeah
number four Pearl Jam
despite actively rejecting the lifestyle
of Fame and excess that being a
well-known band inevitably brings Pearl
Jam are still one of the most loved rock
bands and grunge groups in America
they can easily fill up an arena with a
devoted set of followers while the ban
is so dedicated to their fanbase that
they’ve been known to take aggressive
steps in boycotting Ticketmaster in
response to the ticket services price
gouging
whether it’s trying to follow along with
Eddie Vedder’s mumbly vocals and yellow
Ledbetter or tearing up to Black Pearl
Jam brings their love of music to each
and every live show
number three Bruce Springsteen and the E
Street Band
the boss may put bums on the seats but
without the E Street Band his mammoth
concerts just wouldn’t be the same
if you’ve got a Springsteen ticket you
best prepare yourself for a long night
of poetic Rock as he will happily
maintain his supercharged performance
for hours on end
in fact Springsteen shows have been
known to cross the four hour mark when
you’ve got that many hits and over 40
years of band favorites you’re going to
need a lot
Springsteen has always struck a chord
with the American public and his shows
aim to give them just what the doctor
ordered
number two Radiohead
song
this English group has been responsible
for some of the most influential music
of the 1990s and 2000s with an optin
experimental approach making for
fascinating live shows
each member of the band is a show onto
themselves from the wispy and strained
vocals of Thom Yorke to the other
worldliness of Johnny green woods guitar
playing
they may be alternative and they may be
gloomy at times but there’s no denying
their music is loaded with energy hooks
and some of the best damn dancing you’ll
ever see in your life
before our top pick comes out to play
let’s take a look at some honorable
mentions
so
Oh
number one you too
I can’t
just as it’s impossible to not know Bono
it’s impossible to not know and love at
least one u2 song
their music is endlessly replayable and
the over-the-top personality of the
group is something that must be
witnessed firsthand by possibly the
biggest band since the Beatles u2 are
masters of producing songs that are
designed to get thousands of people
dancing clapping and singing along
anthemic and huge every hit is packed
with pure musicality and showmanship
unmatched by damn near any way
making them an easy choice for our
number one pick
so what do you think which group will
you travel the world to see live
with so many bands inspiring people
around the world we were bound to have
missed one or two for more musical top
