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.

The Count Account deleted	Permalink 24.02.2007 - 05:31 The Count Account deleted I miss a lot of metal shows. There sre not to many in my area of Minnesota, USA. I would love to go see Firewinds US debut this fall. Firewind is one of the best bands to come out in a long time. Gus is an "AWESOME" guitar player. I would have to drive about 2 hours to go see a show. I just can not afford it right now. I'm still trying to recover from back surgery that I had last year. I have friends that used to have a metal band, but personal differences got in the way and they are no more after releasing two CD's. I still have a box of the CD's collecting dust. Loading...

This is the 2nd time I've missed DI and CG though, which irritates me. ---- Aborted Misanthropic Smurf Puppy On Acid. Loading...
SteTech Posts: 576	Permalink 25.02.2007 - 20:54 SteTech Posts: 576 In November I went to Paris with my course group for a week, and I missed two gigs during that week: Evergrey, and Opeth with Paradise Lost supporting, it still bugs me today. Not too fussed about Opeth, but I really want to see both Paradise Lost and Evergrey live. I'm sure PL will tour the UK again soon with their new album, maybe they'll get Evergrey for suppot, now that would be something! Loading...

Dangerboner Lactation Cnslt Posts: 7262	Permalink 15.03.2007 - 01:17 Dangerboner Lactation Cnslt Posts: 7262 Unfortunately, I wasn't able to attend an exclusive Down gig. The venue they played at is super small, so it would have been awesome to be that close to those guys. That show sold out a couple days after it was announced, plus I would have had to take work off to attend. I'm actually pretty bummed that I couldn't go because I saw a video on Blabbermouth that showed them playing a new song, and Phil looked really energetic. It was good to see him back. Loading...
Immortal Plague Bloodshedder Posts: 1605	Permalink 15.03.2007 - 05:53 Immortal Plague Bloodshedder Posts: 1605 I Missed the Suffocation, Hypocrisy, Goatwhore and Decapitated show, mainly because Fear Factory was headlining and i wasent prepared to pay 30 bucks to see a crappy headlining band, it was a weekday and i had a few tests the next day, and it was the day before the Cannibal Corpse, Dying Fetus, Necrophagist show so it was an acceptable loss because the Corpse show was amazing.

Hellrat Account deleted	Permalink 22.03.2007 - 22:03 Hellrat Account deleted I'm am missing Black Label Society because I had my ticket lined up through a buddy and he didn't make it down to ticket master on time and the show sold out. this totally blows because BLS has never come close to Edmonton before. Of course the show doesnt happen for another couple weeks so i might manage to get me a scalped seat. or else i will just show up at the show and beat the fuck out of some poser emo kid whos only there for the image and take his ticket. he' undeserving of attendance anyway.
