I would have to say my # best performer(s) is....[drum roll please!]
The Arcade Fire.
They are truly amazing.
All of them.
Every single show they put on, they nail it.
They are all true musicans and performers.
If you saw them, you would be so mezmerised by it.
They just have some weird sparkle about them that pulls you into the music.
They are so into it that you get into it.
Truly amazing preformers...


In your opinion, who do you think is the best performer in the music buisness?
Why do you think they are so entertaining?
Have you seen him/ and or her in concert?

Go.

Angus Young is an amazing performer. He really gets the crowd involved and he uses his guitar as if it were his voice! By far an amazing performer...
GERARD WAY!!! He brings an audience to life, his theatrics and almost monologue type speeches, really make the crowd feel like they are apart of the band for the brief moment he reigns the stadium. Both are amazing performers.

Billie Joe Armstrong, whatever you think of Green Day you can't really say they're not a good live band.

Yes. That's quite true.

James Hetfield is bloody awesome when it comes to crowd pleasing.

Not such an interesting show if you're not into it. But Between The Buried And Me should go in here.


Good drummer.
Good bass player.
Fucking amazing guitarist (the taper must be a fucking idiot though, because the super fast parts aren't on the damn screen).

I hate to follow the crowd on this but My chem just rule! they are the best band i've ever seen live, gerard is probably the best performer just because he has a way with the crowd.

Exactly. MCR makes great music, don't get me wrong, but they aren't amazing live. When it comes to stage presence I think Fall Out Boy has some of the best. They are very energetic live.

I say Motley Crue, Alice Cooper, and Wednesday 13 are the best performers ever.... Alice/Wednesday show totally and completley blew my mind. When you think of ultimate performers you should think of the strange, dark, quirkiness of Alice Cooper, The Decadence of Motley Crue, and the raunchyness of Wednesday 13.

U2 are fantastic!
It's easier to connect with your audience if there's a few hundred at the gig, but when I saw U2 there was something like 70,000 people, and the band really grabbed everyone's attention.

Gerard has an amazing stage charisma, but he doesn't sing that well live.

Candice Night from Blackmore's Night sounds as wonderful live as she does on records. And they don't do playback. She's kind of radiant on the stage too, you can see that she really enjoys singing.

Muse's psychedelic stage shows are awesome. They've nailed the whole package: the singing, playing and the show.

I always hear Panic! at the Disco are amazing live
and I've only seen videos and clips, I won't see them until their tour starts up again
but from what I've seen, they put on a killer show

Streetlight Manifesto are amazing live. Tomas Kalnoky, their singer, does enough stage banter to keep the crowd interested but he doesn't overdo it; and they're all incredibly talented musicians who play just as well live as in a studio setting. Honestly after seeing them live, I'm not even mad that they've taken forever for a new record, because they're that amazing.
