10 Awesome Hard Rock Bands You Must See Live

7. Volbeat

Volbeat

Dutch rockers Volbeat have a very distinct sound. If Johnny Cash and Motorhead had a baby, it would be this band. These guys kick their shows off hard and heavy and keep it going until the very end. Each member interacts with the crowd, tossing picks and giving high fives, if close enough. Their guitar and bass player both move back and forth across the stage pointing at fans and flipping the metal horns. It€™s definitely their rockabilly sound that makes them crowd favorites, and the atmosphere of their shows makes the audience quite diverse and definitely an experience to witness in person. Volbeat is currently touring Europe and Asia before coming back to the U.S. at the end of the summer.
