[wmgaretjax]

i'm pleasantly surprised that Comets on Fire and Gogol are on that list. there is some crap on there though....

[Proadict]

AFI is really amazing live, but MCR comeon that band is a huge sh!t

[KenMixtape]

I've never seen them before, but seeing afi on saturday night live made me want to commit murder.
Tired of bands who have had their testicles chopped off. I hate everything about that band and all bands like them.

Pearl Jam didn't make the top 25? Crazy.

[Mr.Nipples]

gg allin not being mentioned on that list is fucking bullshit

[suprefan]

MCR shoudl be gone, and its interesting how they wanted to put some sure bets with like "up and comers" to make the list work. Well the titles is greatest livve bands "Right Now" not of all time..... Whwere is Nine Inch Nails? Seriously..

[toolisbomb]

i think that whole list is a bunch of crap, actually. i mean how are they deciding this? i'm sure these bands are great live..but what about all the other monumental bands that surely were/are better live than these bands?

The list is talking about "Right Now". And yes Tool should replace one of them easily...

Muse has put on some of the most consistently amazing shows of all the bands I've seen. U2 + MCR = wtf?

They are kissing MCR's booty cause they like to and U2 is just to please the masses... And yeah where is Muse? I cant wait for everyone seeing them opening for MCR be blown away and think MCR was boring as s**t afterwards.

[Sneerleader]

best live act recently? gotta be beck

Agreed and agreed. Muse and Tool both put on fucking amazing shows.

And I may be shot for this but I saw GnR recently and their show was ridiculously amazing. Yes, even with the new members..

[boyalien0]

Seriously, mad respect to the stooges and all, but you have got to be f*cking joking me.

[AEversW]

obviously spin has never seen mogwai or sigur ros live.

[napaquetzalli]

obviously spin has never seen mogwai or sigur ros live.

word. mogwai blew my brains out last year.

[grungysabbathemohater]

I agree with U2 being #1 because I think that they put on the best stadium sized shows of any modern band. I have seen them 3 times (Achtung Baby tour and All You Can't Leave Behind tour) and they are one of the few modern bands who can comfortably perform to 75,000 people.
White Stripes is another good choice on this list. I saw them from the front row at Red Rocks Ampitheatre. Fucking amazing show!

But where is Tool on this list!? They put on the best show of any of the heavier bands nowadays. As does NIN.

[R3d Snapper]

I believe it was spin (couldve been a diff mag) who listed the 100 greatest rock acts and I remember seeing MCR in the thirties ahead of black sabbath......ridiculous. Listeners have never been more blind. Another sign of the times I suppose.

[microcuts]

[msivy]

muse is opening for mcr? that's a damn shame.

[Proadict]

i agree, MCR should open to Mu...no, MCR would just dissapear of earth

[woogie846]

I've seen QOTSA once, and I thought they were great, but not that great.
