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.

I missed Machine Head at Rock in Rio because I was working that day (and the day after). Luckily the concert was transmitted live on tv.. and I regret it so much for not going.. they played Hallowed by thy Name (Iron Maiden) for the first time.:wall:

I missed the damn Paganfest because my boss wouldn't give me the weekend off so I could go. Needless to say I was quite angry and still am a little.

Missed Megadeth, I was going to see Heaven and Hell, but my buddy got out of work late and we showed up at the gig just after the set finished.
Missing Heaven and Hell, Judas Priest, Motorhead, and Testament this year, I'll be on business out of the area. I find that particularly irritating.

I missed Moonsorrow on saturday. Their show was at the same time with Kreator and Testament, and because the concerts were in different towns, i had no choice.

I missed Morbid Angel and Primordial @ Tuska festival because some jerk threw a plastic bottle on my head. I ended up in a hospital having my head stitched. I was quite angry and disappointed about it.

Not so much a concert I have missed but a concert I will miss and that's Skullflower. Has been my favourite band for years and I've never seen them live, partly because they (or rather he now) don't get advertised enough and also because they play in odd places. Anyway, haven't got the money to see them, a real shame as I reckon it'd be an experience,

Last one I missed was yesterday, the Impiety/Spearhead/Glorior Belli date in Lyon. I didn't go because as stated here, Glorior Belli had to cancel their tour due to the vocalist having heart issues. Since GB was the only band I really wanted to see and moreover since I really hate the venue the concert was in, there wasn't much point in going there. That sucks.

I missed a concert of Nile/Grave/Belphegor. Well, I didn't realy missed the concert, cuz I was there but
they didn't come because they had problems with their truck, which transports their equipment...So, they
couldn't repaired it in such a short time and they couldn't arrived in our country. To bad

I missed Dismember, they came on the first week of this month, I had no money at all, and the tickets were incredibly cheap, but it was impossible for me

I missed Hate Eternal because some crack addict busted my car window and stole my stereo. I wasn't that upset about missing the show since I already have seen Hate Eternal and there were more things to worry about than concerts at that time LOL.

I pre-ordered my ticket though -_-

I missed Slipknot's show here. Mainly because I live in a different city and because my sister was repping NZ in trampolining at the same time.

I also missed (but didn't find out they even came 'til a while afterwards) Children of Bodom in I think it was July and Slayer who came here sometime last year. All in Auckland

Well, though it might be a bummer you missed them it is not that you will never have a chance to see them live again.
