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.

Last gig I missed was Hecate Enthroned this past Monday. I had to miss it because of money problems again; I had to use the money to get an Emperor ticket instead. I'm not savagely bummed about missing that gig though.

The last concert I missed and for which I was really very disappointed was Roger Waters in Athens in June the 18. It was Sunday, but next day I was giving the final lesson of the exams, so... I don't even want to remember it....

Last Wednesday I missed Skinless and Visceral Bleeding! I'm a bigger fan of VB who were supports but it was only £8 and 15 minutes or so away from my HOUSE! I'm not entirely sure why I missed it but I think it's becayse I saw Morbid Angel the day before and Green Carnation the day after and the day after that I was leaving the country, so it all would have been too much and cash was a bit of a concern though not much. Meh, one day I'll see VB...

I missed Slayer, Children Of Bodom, and Lamb Of God (Unholy Alliance Tour) to money trouble unfortunetly.

I spent my money on Ozzfest, and Sounds Of The Underground tickets.

Still very good shows, but Unholy Alliance would have been awesome to see.

it looks like i am going to miss Enslaved, Zyklon and 1349 because i was relying on my brother to take me and everythng but he doesnt want to any more which is rather annoying
as well as them, i am going to miss Blind Guardian in london because it is just way too far and will cost way too much. im already stretching my money too far by seeing Emperor when they go to london

Cradle of Filth in Gothenburg. Why? I live in Stockholm and didn't had the time to travel there. But according to a swedish metal magazine, the concert was bad ... got 4 out of 10.

I don't think I really missed the best's in my opinion...I don't listen to Slayer, or Lamb Of God nearly as much as I listen to In Flames and Behemoth. It still would have been amazing to go though.

I missed Hole in the Sky, despite it being in the town I live in... The reason was that I had lots of things and problems going on in my life and basically ended up forgetting about it.

I missed Wacken Open Air Festival this year... couldn't go because I had to work. I did go to the Earthshaker Festival though and saw Arch Enemy and others there... But Children of Bodom did not play at the Earthshaker Fest, thats why I wanted to go to Wacken an see them there! Anyway I now got tickets for the Slayer Unholy Alliance Tour gig in Duesseldorf so Ill see CoB Live there!! Lucky me ;-) SLAYER!!! (and CoB!)

I missed Kittie this last week because I did not have a ride and because this band did not motivate me enough as to "move Heaven and Earth" in order to assist to one of their shows. I never really got impressed by them even when I have two of their albums burnt.

Last concert I missed was Pearl Jam at Prague. I was in France at that time and also tickets were pretty expensive.
But I really hate myself for missing Nightwish at MOR festival last year. They are my favourite band, but I had noone to go with me (because the festival is held about 400km far from my home). And the most ironic thing was that I thought: "They will come next time for sure, maybe even to Prague, and I will go." And several months after that they said that they will not continue with Tarja anymore. I couldn't believe it.

It brings me great pain to return to this thread but even more so to reveal the band I missed. Tonight Freak Kitchen were playing and the reason I couldn't go was because it's at an 18+ venue. Now, venue age restrictions never usually deter me from seeing a band I enjoy greatly but in this instance the venue is actually a club and talking to a friend, he told me that they always ID everyone at the door. No way would I have gotten in.

Fuck! I missed Krisiun and Decapitated because of school and work. I"ve seen both those bands before, but they are so unbelievably good live I have to see them again. Six Feet Under headlined, but meh...

Catamenia was in Moscow last Friday, but I missed it, because, first: i don't like club concerts, second: there was nobody who could go with me on this concert; my bf can't stand black metal, but on the other hand, huh, it's not good for a girl to go alone on such concerts...:noidea:

I missed Slayer, because I prefered to save the money for the Live n Louder, for Anathema/Xandria/Stream of Passion's concert, and for some other non-concert stuff.

Wow, I feel so sorry for you. Catamenia are an AWESOME band and it must have been so depressing to miss them. However, I used to and still do go to metal gigs on my own. I mean, as a girl it is MUCH better to go with a friend (I speak from experience) but if that was the only way to see Catamenia, I'd do it.
