At times obstacles get in our way to do something as simple as assisting to the performances of those bands we love and adore can be. Obstacles like exams, work, parents, age, money, etc. which make us renounce to the opportunity of listening to great bands live. It has happened to me with a few bands (I say few bands because my country has not been graced with the visits of many bands), bands like Hatebreed, Six Feet Under, Soulfly, Megadeth, Iron Maiden (well, I wasn't even listening to Metal when they got here but I will blame my ignorance for missing them then lol), Judas Priest, among others.

Here you can share with your fellow metalstormers your sorrow, your frustration of missing those concerts. Do not forget to tell us why you missed them.

As for me, the last concert I missed was Dream Theater playing at our capital. Why did I miss these Progressive Metal deities? I had no way of getting into San Juan that night so I had to miss it.

Epica's 10th year anniversary for Design Your Universe in NYC. I'm still kicking myself for missing this one, as I went to the original tour and this is my favorite album by them.

I didn't go because I had just started a new job, and the concert was on a monday. Sucks to be an adult now.

In a world where Corona didn't happen... I'd have gone to see Grand Magus, with Wolf supporting, just before the lockdown. I had tickets for Parkway Drive in April. I would have been to other gigs too as there's usually plenty going on locally. In the summer I would have gone to Techfest or ArcTanGent, and maybe Bloodstock if I had the budget. Then, I would have gone to study at the University of Calgary in Canada and I was excited to see that both Beast in Black and Battle Beast had gigs shortly after I arrived.
As it is, I have a rescheduled Parkway Drive to look forward to now that I will be staying in England. I saw just shy of 250 bands last year, so part of me is OK with taking a break - but at the same time, I sure miss live music! The upsetting thing is that this is the first year I haven't been to at least one festival since 2005!

Last Gig: Max & Igor Cavalera (w/ Conan)
Upcoming (maybe): In Flames, Parkway Drive, Bloodstock Festival, Arctangent Festival, Damnation Festival 2021, Meshuggah, and 2 Orange Goblin livestreams

King Metalhead

Anthrax and Testament in Savannah, Georgia on June 13, 2018. Apparently, because of weather something went wrong with the band’s equipment if I remember correctly. I was pretty bummed about that one TBH considering I had tickets for my birthday on that day. Oh well. There’s only so much you can do about it.
