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.

As I type this I'm fairly sure I'm missing Gojira. Why did I not go? Well, my mother detests me doing gigs on school nights and I shall be doing 2 next week which will do more than piss her off. Also, Hatesphere were supporting....

I'll catch those French crazy metallers another time. I'm fairly sure of it.

Wow, I wouldn't even consider that. I'd go even if my mum changed the locks! Emperor's final show is more important than some half-arsed history lesson! In fact, seeing Emperor's final show is a black metal history lesson!

Damn, that sucks! How come? You should really try and go. They don't really tour often and their setlist for this tour is great.

I missed Slayer, Lamb of God and Children of Bodom this summer in San Jose because I went camping for a week. BLAH!!! I had already paid for the trip and it was kinda expensive so I guess I had to go. What a horrible reason to miss such an awesome tour.

Well... there is a festivity in my state this coming week and u know I haven't enough money for all the days... so I must choose... I mean I have money but if I would spend all in Blind Guardian concert I could not get out home anymore the rest of the festivities. I suppose that's why, my parents don't want to sponsor me the concert

Recently missed Watain, Kreigsmachine and Secrets Of The Moon due to lack of cash and me having no idea where the venue was, although obviously the cash was the bigger problem.

I missed Hatesphere/Gojira tonight because I was working and couldn't get a holiday off for that. I missed Paradise Lost last year for the same reason

The last gig I missed was Cannibal Corpse in Melbourne for their Australian tour. We rang up about tickets and they told us that they'd sold out! What makes it worse, was that Psycroptic was supporting them! We really didn't expect the show to sell out that quickly. I think that Deicide will be coming at the end of the year, so I guess I'll have to try to catch that.

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:

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.

Well, I don't feel so sorry about Catamenia, as you think.. I just never seen them alive, so I don't know what exactly i've missed.

... Oh, and today's Halloween's concert in Moscow.. And I won't see them tonight either.. I think untill I find someone who can make me a company to go on concerts, I'll post in this thread very often

I missed 1349 and Celtic Frost because of school, work, the fact that my ears are fucked, and because I kinda forgot. Oh well...

I missed Dismember, in 29th of August I think. Missed it because I was abroad, in Greece. But I really don't give a damn, since I got to see Atheist a day before

I missed Nevermore tonight and I'll miss them again tomorrow too. Why? Because they're supporting Disturbed and all the fucking Disturbed fans bought all the tickets for both days, thus the gig sold out. Oh well, I suppose Nevermore were only supporting but in other parts of Europe they were headlining. If only they headlined London they wouldn't have sold out before hand. Also, Disturbed are only touring here because they cancelled their show earlier in the year or something. If they hadn't cancelled I would have seen one of my favourite bands headlining.

1349 on Oct. 1st. I forgot about it until later that evening, plus my wife was working and I am sure she would have liked to go, we are also pretty broke. But it seems a lot of metal bands play around here, so I am sure I'll catch some other act at another time.

Gates of Metal 2006, and I really really regret it now. Thyrfing were going, as were Hammerfall, Mayhem, Helloween... and a slew of other bands which I really needed to see, but I was broke, something which I really shouldn't have been.

I missed the Metallica's gig in Tallin 'cause I couldn't get any transportation in Estonia I'm going to miss Sakara tour (featuring Mokoma, Stam1na and Rytmihäiriö) because they just are not coming anywhere close where I live! Hopefully I can at least get to see Unholy Alliance (I already have the ticket)!

Tonight I missed Season's End due to the fact that I need to reserve cash to go to better gigs. I'm sure I'll probably see them one day supporting some other bigger name goth metal at.

Last sunday I missed Mystic Circle on their tour over Central & South America, the thing is I had to work on that day and also I didn't have anybody to go with, but it was too cheap, the price was $10 and just for $5 extra you would get an album. Opportunities like that one won't happen twice in a lifetime...

Freaker's Ball, which I didn't even know or really care about. I heard Motorhead slayed though. Need to see them sometime. Decapitated played around here on the 23rd but I've seen them. I'll probably miss Deicide on the 1st too. Next big gig is when Cannibal Corpse come with Necrophagist and Dying Fetus on the 20th then Children of Bodom, Amon Amarth, and Gojira on the 12th of December. We'll see.
