Tell Me Your Big 4

[CureTheSane]

Has this been done? Oh, well if iy has, we can do it again.

The big 4 re pretty thrashy if you ask me, I'm more interested in what would you consider to be a HArd Rock Big 4

For me, probably
Kiss
Def Leppard
Van Hagar
Twisted Sister

Why are there only three in your list?

I'm not sure I understand this thread. Can you explain a bit more? The four biggest, most influential, innovative and prolific bands, in our opinion? 

[CureTheSane]

haha,  accidentally posted early while I was still thinking about the 4th

No real rules, I guess who you'd condiser to be the 4 big time bands you'd want to see together.

Can be newer bands, more traditional bands, whatever.

Just get sick of hearing about the big 4 metal bands that don't represent me or my music in any way.

[Mafisen]

Def Leppard

AC/DC

Kiss

Guns n Roses

 

Only seen Def Leppard live and the rest are bands I'd like to get the chance to see before it's too late. They played a big part in making hard rock so great.

[CureTheSane]

I love how there is such diversity, what I was hoping for.

[Captain Howdy]

Motley Crue

Poison

Guns N Roses

Cinderella

[lettard]

Def Leppard

Motley Crue

Aerosmith

Whitesnake

[martinsane]

IF I was going to choose a wish list big 4 of bands that I would want to see live together (or at all for that matter) it would be:

 

Spread Eagle

Warrior Soul

Junkyard

Pantera

 

I'd toss in Teeze/Roughouse, Kix, Saxon and Heavy Pettin' for an all day sucker.

[whiplash1972]

Dokken 

Van Hagar

Y&T

Tesla 

That 4th spot could change almost hourly (Stryper, Def Leppard, Great White, and Brother  Firetribe were all considered)  but that top 3 is concrete!  

[Mafisen]

Aerosmith and Y&T are great shouts. 

Y&T is in my top 5 favourite bands of all time. I didn't include them in my list as I went for the behemoths of the golden era. 

Whitesnake is also of the greats, but I omitted them because I saw them live this past summer.

If I go to "smaller" bands who made the scene what it was and that I'd give an arm to see, I would love to get to an Axe concert. 

[Geoff]

I'm so dumb... I still don't really get the thread. The bands that are big in my world that I would most love to see in their original form;

Cauterize

Danger Danger

Waltham (playing USA!USA!USA! songs in their set)

Fate

 

But the four "popular" bands I'd love to see;

Danger Danger

Poison

Harem Scarem

Fate 

[CureTheSane]

Don;t think I've ever heard of Fate

You should. Check out 'Scratch N' Stiff' tomorrow. ;) I'd be amazed if you can't dig it.

Which stone do you live under? 

[Darkstone]

Probably Dokken, Queensryche, Skid Row and Van Hagar. All band members are still alive, so it is technically possible.

Is Don Dokkens voice still alive though?

[horrormetaldepot]

Iron Maiden

Judas Priest

Megadeth

King Diamond

[gener8tr]

Mine are all old-school (Old's Kool) from my grade school days through my teens.  These are the bands that far and away I played the most and or had the most influence.  Difficult to narrow it down to four.  This is chronological for me.

KISS

SCORPIONS

DEF LEPPARD

BON JOVI

 

Edit... I really need to get Motley Crue in there.  KISS was so influential to me from 1978 - 1984... but Motley took things to a new level.  Man, I need that 5th. band!
