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.

Gonna miss Madrid Is The Dark next week, a damn exam on saturday morning makes it impossible to get to madrid... for the same reason I won't be able to make it to Inferno Festival in Switzerland next March...

not happy


what is it with exams on Saturdays in some countries? Weird. Or do you also have classes on Saturdays?

Hmmm yeah, it sucks... but for me it's only exams. It's supposed to be the only moment of the week where there are no timetable clashes, so we get week ends fuck up

Last time I had to go to Pain Of Salvation, had a lot of ok I'll go-ok I can't go moments with organizing and shit... in the end I got ill at the very day, had a very hard time getting out of bed, and that day was about to rain cats and dogs in Belgrade with a temperature drop of 20 degrees. Kinda sucks since I'm not ill that often.

And afterwards I missed the Iced Earth gig because of my exam. I really really wanted to go.

I miss all of the concerts for obvious reasons 😑 I'm twelve, so I can't drive and I have no freedom. And my mother despises all of my favorite bands, but I'm saving up money now so I can go to a concert first thing when I'm old enough 😋

I was supposed to see one of my favourite bands last saturday: Insomnium. Why didn't that happen? They had to cancel their show. So disappointing! Have seen them live 2 times and they are awesome.. Just waiting to see them again!

The worst luck I had was skipping Testament because I had the stomach flu and then missing Enslaved the next day because they got stranded in a snowstorm And I probably would've been too sick to go anyways...
But everything else is because of school-related shit or just having to save my money

I wasn't able to see Suicidal Tendencies, because they had to move to a smaller venue next door because some preppy ass band was already playing there and so they sold out of tickets because of the size of the venue and another reason I had broken my leg and dislocated my foot a week before. Not too happy about that.

Most of the time I miss the shows because I work 2PM-10:30PM so I miss everything during weekdays. Or if its really far because my car has been acting up. But I miss Suicidal tendencies lately and looks like im going to have miss Black Sabbath in Tampa. Its sad because Ill never get to see Ozzy but its like my dad Said, "You cant make them all".

3 Inches of Blood, two days ago. Had the day off work but could not afford the fucking ten dollar ticket. Ten. Dollars. I was pissed. There were some pretty awesome local bands playing with them too.

Missed Katatonia + Opeth last april ... I was having a bad time during those days, depression, anxiety, lost of my job. Hell, I even had the tickets and it was the day after my birthday.

I had seen Opeth previously in 2006 and it was one of the best concert I've had seen. But never had the chance to see Kataonia, missed them once again.

I was going to our neighbor city for a local metal/hardcore festival. But a motherfucking storm named "Hilde" ruined my plans. A real bummer

I missed the Buffalo, NY show because I was exhausted from work. I'm still kicking myself in the teeth for it.

I really wanted to see orphaned land and bilocate when they came to the UK a few weeks ago but transport was a large issue for me as well as finding people to go with. .

I'm starting to consider going to gigs and concerts alone.

Protest the Hero/Tesseract/The Safety Fire/Intervals. My friend bailed and I didn't really want to go alone, since I've got plenty of chances to see Tesseract headlining back in England and I really don't like PTH. That, and work.
