It's quite obviously when your dueling a shadow priest and he has you all dotted up and cast mind blast on cooldown and has nothing left to but cast mind flay and melt your fuggin' face.

I had 3 face melts last year....MMJ, Sigur Ros, and Pearl Jam. It's that point where time and space has no meaning...it's and audio,visual, and emotional overload. It's nirvana where all 3 stimuli melt into 1.
To me face melting is that point in a show when the band is just rocking SO hard that all you can do is drop you jaw and stare at your friends. that happend at oysterhead in 06 when trey brought out the matterhorn
Yes. Exactly.
I remember seeing the antlers on stage and being really confused. My face was already mid-melt by that time, though. That was my introduction to Les Claypool and Trey Anastasio. Needless to say, they mindf*cked me.
Other memorable face melts:
During Tool in '07, specifically when they played 'Rosetta Stoned' and I was laying down on the ground feeling the primal beats of Danny Carey and hearing Maynard sing "Can't remember what they said!" over and over. Face. melted. off.
During Sigur Ros, specifically the middle of Svefn-g-englar when Jonsi sings really loud along with the big drum fill.

Tool did this to me as well, Ghostland hit me as well!
As my Inebriated buddy walks out of the Porto, he yells out, "Dude...I love this place...bonnaroo thinks about everything...they even put beer holders next to the toilet!"
Had to break it to him that that was the urnal. Good times good times!
MMJ was the most memorable face-melting experience of my life (entire show). Another notable face-melter: Blues Veins by The Raconteurs at Bonnaroo last year.
Difficult to describe the feeling, but I will say that my face has been melted more times on that farm than anywhere else on Earth over the last seven years.... I expect much the same again this year.
When Jack White plays the solo to Blue Veins and you lose sense of place and time. I thought i was in the desert during that set last year, I was seeing giant cactus' and "stuff"!

Eh, for me it means that Warren is playing!
Pretty much, it feels like the world stops and everything goes black except for a spotlight on the stage. All you can do is smile, wide-eyed and motionless wondering if you you hear/see is really happening. It is a beautiful moment.
Too me it's that point where you lose your self in the show and all you can do is smile and whatever else is possiable such as climb into the rafters and jump into the crowd...
Sometimes Andrew WK has that facemelting effect on people.

its the point where your dancing really hard and feeling a little out of breath and just when you don't think it can get any better (insert artist here) starts playing your favourite song... you die just a little, and then come back and give it more then you ever thought you could.

Oh, wow. Thanks for reminding me of Blue Veins. Amazing.

It's the OMFG, I don't believe what I'm seeing/hearing, jaw-dropped, speechless awesomeness. A state much more easily reached with corn, but possible without.
Jack White is a professional face-melter. See Blue Veins 'roo 08. I think he melted his own face off on that one.
a thread about face melting and nobody is going bring up metallica? yeah, i said it.
OO def. I was on the rail like 15 feet from the center, right in front of Hammet for the first Summer Sanitarium show in 2000. Completely sober and I still needed to scoop my face off the floor at the end. And Hammet's solo at the end of Fade to Black on the roo dvd is probably the best example on the dvd. He absolutely kills that solo.

Jack Johnson gave me that feeling last year, maybe just because he had the slot where in that hour and a half it went from light out to darkness, and I was just realizing I was in the middle of the best weekend of my life. Then MSTRKRFT just completely shut it down later that night and was hands down the highlight of my weekend.
