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.

Ive always been able to see all the bands i wanted to live, but since moving from Sydney into the country, i have found it hard, especially with all the bands grouping together in touring around this time of the year. Blind Guardian, Dream Theater, Nightwish, Ozzy Osbourne, Amon Amarth, Helloween and Marduk i have had to miss for this reason.

The thing thats annoying is, why they all came now... i mean it used to be 1 or 2 good bands a year coming to Australia, but this year its already been like 6 or 7 and im not in the position to see them.

Looks like Iron Maiden will be the only one i will see.

Sucks.... ARSE....

I missed the end of the Muse set at Leeds Festival in 2006. My dick of an ex (ex by like less than a week) decided to go off the rails and pay a visit to my dad, mum, grandma and friend in a not so nice way buit that is for another thread i think. I only went for the day as i'd had a baby 2 months before and it was mainly to see Muse.

The only day i'd spent the whole year looking forward to (other than Anna's birth obviously!) and he goes and runis it! grrr Men suck! hahaha Apart from you guys, you're not dating me so you're ace. haha

I've missed a lot of concerts in the last years, too many to count.
Living 300Kms far from where almost everything happens in this country doesn't help, and it even helps less if gigs are scheduled to the middle of the week. That makes it impossible, I can't just skip work, plus transportations aren't that cheap.
I'm gonna be missing Metallica this thursday, and Iron Maiden next month.

It's okay, next Tuesday is Unmerciful and Cryptopsy so we'll make it there..

I haven't been to a concert in years. Which really sucks because they're going on all the time here in Phoenix...

Between work and my life I just can't find the time anymore. Plus I've got to save money for so much right now; a new car, a computer, a move, a wedding...I hate money...

High On Fire on June 11th in my hometown. I had the ticket, had put it on the table the evening of June 10th, went to work on the 11th a friend called to go out eating and boozing in twon that night so I said okay. And then after midnight when we went to another pub and bumped into the band I realized I had forgot all about the gig. Damn, stupid, idiotic me. Had that friend not called I would have gone home after work and would have found the ticket. Why didn't I put it in my wallet the night I put it on the table.... aaarrrrrggghhhhh Old age catching up with me?


Currently missing Hellfest due to a very very very very lucrative freelance translation assignment.
