I have literally seen thousands of bands at hundreds of concerts. I went to Milwaukee Metalfest when it was still in existence three times seeing metal bands from all over the world. At one Metalfest alone I saw over 70 bands in a three day event. I saw Burn the Priest before they changed their name to Lamb of God and I still have the 7" I bought directly from the band. I saw Death before Chuck Schuldinger died. One year, I saw a great stretch of death metal with Cryptopsy, Deeds of Flesh and Cephalic Carnage playing back to back to back in the middle of the afternoon without much of a crowd before they were known bands with Jamie Jasta of Hatebreed sitting next to me.

I met Jonathan Davis about two days after Korn's debut album came out and he asked me and my buddy how they did (I wasn't impressed LOL). They had just opened for Marylin Manson with Danzig headlining. I've seen more Norwegian black metal bands than most people could name including Mayhem with Maniac slicing himself open, Enslaved before they went progressive and Emperor before they broke up. I saw Nirvana on the last tour before Curt Cobain killed himself. I saw the Grateful Dead in Las Vegas in '95 before Jerry died later that tour in Chicago.

I've seen bands play in punk rock squat homes' living rooms (Phobia), front yards (The Locust) & abandoned slaughter houses (Neuraxis). I saw Brann Dailor and Bill Kelliher of Mastodon play with Today is the Day as the rhythm section before Mastodon was their focus and I still have Mastodon's demo on CDR. I have hundreds of stories...

It's easier to say whether or not I've seen a band before than list all of the ones I've seen. I've seen more bands in the past year than most of the lifetime lists in this thread.
