    I was at the concerts in the 90s and early 2000s, Metallica, Slayer, Motörhead, Amorphis, Nofx, Bad Religion etc, I don’t go to concerts anymore for about 10 years. They don’t make them as they used to anymore. What shows they were - wow. Even the smaller ones were epic as fuck, like Blind Guardian. No, they don’t do it anymore. This post prices my point once again. ( TIL I’m finally in the “back in my days” age)

      They absolutely make them like they used to and even better, you’re just old and your judgement is clouded, and you wish to return to your youth.

      I’ve been to quite a few concerts in the last few years and some bands are much better at doing concerts than others. For example I will always show up if Black Stone Cherry has a show anywhere near me because they’re significantly better in concert than their studio albums, meanwhile Black Veil Brides was the worst performance at their own concert with their opening bands providing far more enjoyable and engaging shows than them.

      Most recently i attended The Offspring, Sum41 and Simple Plan and holy crap was that a good bucket list concert. Sum41 encouraged a lot of action in the pit as well as lots of audience engagement while The Offspring had a ton of fun audience interactions and silly banter between (and in one case in the middle of) songs.

        Blind Guardian still performs live and there’s still many great shows with great artists in many different genres.

      Just have to hit up the right bands. Superorganism for instance puts on a fucking great show, though you wouldn’t think it listening to their songs. There were at least 3 mosh pits at that concert lol.
