also, if you're talking about "best" bands in terms of technical
virtuosity and live performance/interplay (regardless of whether or
not their type of music is to your taste), you've just got to include:

rage against the machine

muse

tom morello's guitar pyrotechnics for ratm and matthew bellamy's for
muse are just amazing. trivium are a pretty good live band too.

all the best,
