Tours you totally regret missing

JW:

I was once bored to tears for forty-five solid minutes at Ozzfest, and this was also Powerman 5000's fault.

LOL - truth

I would've loved to have seen the Anthrax/Megadeth/Slayer tour back in the day.

Me too

 

 I saw that one.  Back in '91, right?  Killer.

There are a bunch, but a lot of the ones that stand out the most are non-metal, oddly enough.

There's a club called Bogarts in Cincy, about 1.5 hours away.  In 1988/89 I missed Janes Addiction on their Nothing Shocking tour.  One of my favorite albums ever.  I was out of town w/ my family--I was still in high school.  Right around that time I also missed Soundgarden and Danzig (SG opened).  Also out of town.  In college I had a ticket to see Pearl Jam play there early in the tour for Ten.  By the time the show came around "Alive" had broken and they were getting big.  But I had some shit come up and couldn't go.  Friends sold my ticket for a nice profit.  In 1990 I missed Killing Joke on their Extremities... tour (another favorite album).  They played at a club in Lexington.  Also decided not to drive to Dayton to see Nirvana on the In Utero tour.  "I'll see 'em next time" I thought...

Carcass/Life of Agony . . . 1994, I think.

Either I wasn't driving at the time or there was an age restriction at Berkeley Square.  That would have great just to see the two audience types mingle.

I would've loved to see Agalloch in Toronto during the Winter Solstice gig they had when The Mantle was recently released.  At that time, I didn't know the band existed though.

Pantera - Never got to see them.  I was too young during their first two records, didnt have a ride during Far Beyond and GSTK tours, and on tour myself during their last tours.  Bummer!!!

Smashing Pumpkins - On their Melancholy tour

This last Converge tour with Baroness, Genghis Tron, and Red Chord

yeah dude, Extreme Steel with Pantera and WDT Static-X.

I failed at being 17.

I'll tell you what I'm NOT missing:

Iron Maiden in Concord on the 28th

followed by

Candlemass and Daylight Dies on the 30th

saaaaaaaweeet!

couple recent shows at Slim's that i've missed, particularly Wolves in the Throne Room last October, Amon Amarth last december, Therion earlier this year i think

one i couldn't possibly have gone to considering i likely wasn't born yet, referred to as "The Show," 1985 Combat tour with Slayer, Venom and Exodus, o what a thrashfest that was had

would've been nice to have seen metallica before they recorded the black album
