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.

Lordi and Turisas. I don't care about Lordi but Turisas would have been awesome. I missed it because tickets sold out on the first day they were on sale...

I missed seeing the Deftones because they played on the same day as Katatonia and I figured that I would have a better time seeing Katatonia. I had a great time so I don't really regret missing the Deftones.

Slayer!

The cost of the ticket was a little bit too high and I was working.
May be not big reasons but the concert ws in Botoga and I have to travel 500km to get there, so I need more money and more time that usual.

I am going to miss Arhnem Metal Meeting soon, because I have no transport and no one to go with. You bet I am going to buy some fucking awesome albums to fill up that hole.

I missed the Amon Amarth (& Wintersun, & Týr) concert yesterday because it was sold out by the time we got there. The only good thing about it is that I saved some money and spent a nice metal evening with some friends...and I guess I'm gonna see them sometime anyway, so it wasn't the end of the world that I missed it

I missed Abgott because the venue was 18+ but I still think I could have gotten in. The main reason was because I had no cash. Oh well, I'm sure I'lll catch them again since we all live in London

Look at the Upcoming Events to the side of the page

A lof of great bands came/are coming to Romania but they all play in towns too far away. The transportation over here is a time/financial nightmare.

Therion, Galadriel, Canibal Corpse, Napalm Death, Evergrey...:cry:

I rarely attend an individual concert as they usually require a long drive time and the best concerts are always in the middle of the week. Who wants to drive to Detroit on Tuesday for a show? Not me! So I try to attend the 3 day festivals as these are weekends even though they cost more, (airfare, hotels, rental cars, etc). I find these are more enjoyable and you see multiple groups. The last one I missed was the ProgPower USA show in Atlanta, GA, due to a TREE...a stupid tree fell during a storm and wiped out my garage. It was a huge clean-up project cash became an issue. On the upside the new garage is x2 the size and really nice.
