I am sorry to say that I attended a sucksack concert about a year ago, it was my wifes birthday and more than anything in the world she wanted tickets to go see this turd pile of a band. I'll tell you this, they sound the same in concert as they do on CD, which means not only do all of their songs sound the same but their performances of said same sounding songs...sounds the same

2 cover bands, probably 30 or 45 minute sets each. Just go early and watch them, you might like them. If you like Nickelback your standards are low anyway ;).

for god's sake... cover bands play other people's songs. breaking benjamin and three days grace, no matter how much they suck, aren't cover bands. nickelback, however, could be a cover band since every song of theirs is identical...

and to chime in on the mosh pit portion of the discussion: i've seen system 3 times and disturbed once... their pits don't hold a candle to 90% of the metal shows out there. Youtube "Lamb of God wall of death" or "Dillinger Escape Plan" (i'm at work so i can't link) to get a feel for a true pit.

I think I've been spoiled. The concerts I've been to have all been so unbelievably amazing:

- 30 Seconds to Mars
- Ozzfest 05-06
- Tool
- Godsmack
