Hmm I feel like listing all the ones I can still remember.
The ones I liked will have a (!) next to them or some explanation if they're really worthy. XD
Btw, I've seen most of them on music festivals and not all of them were out of free will...
List of the past years (like 5-6):
- Jimmy Eat World
- Coldplay (!) (it really is an awesome band live)
- Snow Patrol
- Simple Plan x2
- Within Temptation
- Garbage (!)
- Velvet Revolver (!)
- Greenday x2 (don't like their songs that much, but their show was good, although a bit long...)
- Faithless x3 (God they're SOOOO boring...)
- Deftones
- Tool (!!) (They're awesome)
- Manu Chao Radio Bemba Sound System or just Manu Chao (I didn't expect it, but they're really one of the best live bands I've seen.)
- Daft Punk (Best dance act EVER!!!)
- Red Hot Chili Peppers (Very good band, could've played a bit longer though.)
- Black Eyed Peas x3 (Worst band ever. Fergie has a god forsaken terrible voice that makes your ears bleed, so be warned!)
- Billy Talent
- Zornik
- My Chemical Romance (terrible, but it was fun bullying the emo kids by starting mosh pits.)
- Marilyn Manson (He was so awesome, had a blade attached to his microphone XD )
- Björk (better than I expected, the music was good and the show great.)
- Muse x3 (They're always incredible. One of the best live bands at the moment. Seriously, they're in my top 3!)
- The Van Jets x2 (One of the best Belgian rock bands at the moment.)
- Enter Shikari (PLEASE MAKE IT STOP!!! Possible worst band I've ever seen.)
- Kings of Leon x3 (Good band, I first saw them when they were still pretty unknown. Their early songs are better btw, more cheerful then the last album, of course they were still on drugs when they made those...)
- Kaiser Chiefs x4 or 5 (Yeah, they seem to love our beer XD. The singer is always incredibly drunk, but his voice is still OK and the show is very funny.)
- Bloc Party (!)
- Queens of the Stone Age (Awesome band of course.)
- Arctic Monkeys (Good music, they say only 2 words during their whole show though XD)
- Pearl Jam x2 (Always a great show when they don't make Alive 20 minutes long. Last time I saw them was this year on the 4th of July and if that wasn't enough to get drunk, Dave Grohl was there that day as well. Needless to say; Eddie Vedder couldn't make one understandable sentence
)
- The Killers x2 (Don't really like their music, but somehow we enjoy ourselves a lot when they play
)
- Keane (Yeah, they need to die XD. He couldn't stop talking about how amazing we were as an audience. He said it like after every song, really annoying...)
- The Chemical Brothers x2 (They have awesome music, but it does get repetitive after a while.)
- Mastodon x2 (Pretty cool band, pretty awesome audience. Had a good time in the mosh pit
.)
- The Kooks x2 (They're OK, the first year the whole audience was laughing at them because no one could understand what they were saying.)
- Interpol
- Metallica x3 (The first time they're great, the second time they're good and the 3rd time they're repetitive as hell... Seriously, change the show for once.)
- Air Traffic x2 (Bad, oh so bad... I was really pissed when they played again because the Babyshambles didn't show up.)
- Vampire Weekend x2 (Pretty cheerful music. Not bad, not bad.)
- Mika (I hate his music, but the show was actually pretty funny. He shouldn't have taken off his shirt though.)
- Lenny Kravitz (What can I say? Of course it was wonderful!)
- R.E.M. (Biggest disappointment in my life. I was such a big fan before I saw them live, but in their show they played nothing but their new, god awful songs.)
- The Black Box Revelation x3 (One of the best Belgian rock bands.)
- Monza
- Slayer (I fell asleep during their show XD )
- Duffy (!)
- The Verve (Very good show, waayyy too arrogant though.)
- Neil Young (A lot of people were disappointed because he didn't play his most known rock song Rocking in the free world but imo he played much better songs instead. You should really go see him live if you have the chance, he's great.)
- Moby live: remixed (Man that was terrible, so we went to our tent early
)
- The Hives
- Editors x2 (Really good, their new direction is pretty good too).
- Sigur Rós (Exceptionally beautiful music and very experimental.)
- Radiohead (Best concert I've ever seen.)
- Panic At The Disco (Kill it with fire. Can't sing AT ALL.)
- Anouk
- The Raconteurs (Pretty good, would've preferred The White Stripes though.)
- Beck (!)
- dEUS (!)
- Triggerfinger (!)
- Eagles Of Death Metal (!)
- Placebo (run and hide, I can't stand his voice...)
- Pendulum (Great dance act.)
- Oasis (Good show, possibly even more arrogant than The Verve was though.)
- The Prodigy (Awesomeness.)
- Limp Bizkit (I hardly remember them because I was so high, but apparently I was giving everything.
)
- Franz Ferdinand (really funny how they're dressed so nerdy and still make good rock music.
)
- Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds (Poor Nick Cave, everyone was yelling Get off the stage because they wanted to see the Kings Of Leon XD.)
- 2 Many DJ's (!)
- Seasick Steve (He honestly makes good music with that box and that broken guitar
.)
- The Mars Volta (Pretty weird, has some psychedelic influences.)
- Nine Inch Nails (One of their last concerts, aren't I lucky?
Really awesome band.)
- Boys Noize (Good, influenced by Daft Punk a lot though.)
- The Hickey Underworld (!)
- Shameboy (!)
- Discobar Galaxie (!)
- Slipknot (!)
- Judas Priest (!)
- Testament (!)
- Megadeth (!)
The bands of this year that weren't mentioned yet: (sorry for the caps but I'm directly copying them from the festival's site. Yes I'm that lazy...)
- STEREOPHONICS (!)
- PHOENIX (!)
- DE JEUGD VAN TEGENWOORDIG (pretty funny guys. You'll only understand it if you speak dutch though.)
- CROOKERS (!)
- THE XX
- CUSTOMS (!)
- RISE AGAINST (Annoying voice, annoying pre-teen audience we gave a good kicking. You don't just walk in circles in a circle pit morons...)
- PARAMORE (I was amazed that she could actually sing. Nevertheless, the songs are awful.)
- THIRTY SECONDS TO MARS (The guy has a great voice; Audience was the same as with Rise Against though.)
- THE SPECIALS (Great music to dance on.
It's like fast Reggae music.)
- DAS POP (!)
- CHANNEL ZERO (Great, some guy really hurt me though)
- PORCUPINE TREE (Never thought I'd see them on a festival. They're magnificent!)
- P!NK (We had to see her because we were standing in line for Rammstein. Honestly you couldn't make out which voice was hers and which voice was that of the backing vocals. She also stole a lot of stuff from act of other artists.)
- RAMMSTEIN (Probably the best concert this year. They had a giant sperm gun that shoots out foam they used while they played pussy, they set a man on fire, one of the band members was sitting in a rubber boat while it passed over the audience and a lot of fireworks. I was standing so close that they almost burned my face, I honestly don't get how they can stand so close to those fires...)
- THE BLACK KEYS (!)
- ALICE IN CHAINS (One of my favourite bands back in action. The new singer's voice really resembles the old one's and I caught a plectrum. YAY!)
- THEM CROOKED VULTURES (!)
- ARCADE FIRE (Zzzzzzzz... WE WANT PEARL JAM!!)
Yeah, so that was my short list of bands I've seen live.
