OT: Do not get the love for Guns 'n' Roses, very predictable and really annoying sounding songs with a lead singer whose balls haven't dropped. I would dispute that Geoff Tate would sing Axl off of any stage at any time anywhere.
Definitely Korn or Blink back in the day. Korn's problem is they went on tour right after they released "Untouchables" and Jonathan Davis somehow didn't practice or something, as he was stuck in one spot bent over the entire concert and singing all the lyrics off of the teleprompter at his feet that some bands have. I lost a lot of respect for him that day or bands that require teleprompters for lyrics (just put in the bloody effort). Blink 182 was sort of weird because it wasn't that they were like bad...but it was like they had way too much energy. Travis Barker is definitely the most talented of all the band members and I would give him 100/10, but the other two played and sang like they just did a skiing lesson right before coming on. It was all over the place with constant running around the entire venue with no purpose. I didn't lose respect for them, but sometimes you gotta lose some energy to at least perform at a passable rate lol.
Since Covid, I've been watching a lot of concerts lately instead of going to them and from what I've seen Sabaton normally has pretty horrible concerts. Their studio albums have a ton of background vocals to capture the energy and power of the chorus, which they never have replicated live. Cool band and music videos, but a hard pass for me live. Dragonforce when they started off were pretty terrible and that's due to all their unique weird sounds in their wall of sound songs. They've really turned the corner though and put a lot of practice into their live performances (very good now).
On the other hand, this is one of the best concerts I have seen, not in person though sadly as it was in London.
