Pantera - Mainly due to Dimebag
Guns N Roses - The Slash/Axl combo

Michael Jackson - Not rock/metal but would have loved to see him live..

Bit of a mixed bag

Cinderella before Tommy Keifer's voice went
Black Sabbath with Ozzy
Green Carnation
Sepultura circa Chaos AD, was always raging I missed Sepultura/Paradise Lost gig in the SFX
Dimmu Borgir around Enthrone Darkness Triumphant
Sacred Reich

Other than Cinderella, I think I've seen all of the above. Reading a lot of posts, I realise how lucky I am with what I've seen (well any of the post 1993 gigs).
Wish I gotten to see Queensryche when they played here in 1990, but unfortunately I was only 12. Also wish I'd bothered going to see both Pantera & Alice in Chains in 1993 when they played here, but back then, the bit of money I had was tightly stretched. Some of my school friends went to them, but I chose other gigs over them.

For everyone that wishes that they'd seen Pantera in 01, I saw them in Melbourne that year & they were awful. Phil Anselmo was off his head for the whole gig. He forgot half the words & lay on the floor for most of the time. I had been so looking forward to seeing them for the first time & was disgusted at the state of him. Thankfully COC were supporting them & they were great. Had ticket for Tattoo the Planet but didn't really mind too much when it was cancelled.

For Me Would have loved to have seen Pantera and Temple of the Dog

TheLargerBowl

Well I'm listening to Dream Theater's Live Scenes From New York album now... damn, I would have liked to have been at that gig, Scenes From A Memory played straight through would have been SO awesome to hear live.

Tallaght Saint

Metallica with Jason

Tallaght Saint

Oh and the original Alice in Chains, even though I saw them during the summer with the new lineup

So, I was thinking the other day, I've been fortunate enough to see some great acts throughout the years (Metallica, Megadeth, Faith No More, Machine Head, Velvet Revolver, Guns N' Roses) but is there an act you have always wanted to see that you never got the chance to, or someone you just keep missing, perhaps someone who never plays here and just tours Europe/Japan or the States and only does that one UK show in London

Or maybe you wanted to see a band before the death or absence of a member, or a band in support of a pivotal album, list your troubles below!

For Me:
1. Guns N' Roses lineup when they played Slane in 92 or with Stradlin
2. Metallica (w/Jason Newstead)
3. Def Leppard (I've missed them SO many times)
4. Pearl Jam
5. Danger Danger

Would it annoy ya if I said I seen them all

oops sorry, but im 35 now andy timmons is amazing on guitar seen early warrant, tyketto, little angels, jovi, kid joe and more....leppard are amazing too

See axl with slash was something special too althoughbthey didnt interact at all, were just going through the motions

hacx

megadeth ;~;

Twilightning

Led Zeppelin with John Bonham of course.

blastman

Ones that will never happen:
AC/DC with Bon Scott
Pink Floyd, preferably on the '80-'81 Wall tour
Led Zeppelin
Thin Lizzy with Philo
Rory Gallagher (one of my biggest regrets was not going to the free gig he did on College Green which turned out to be his last Irish gig)
Black Sabbath w/ Ozzy or Dio (so close!)
Nirvana

Ones that hopefully still might:
Rammstein (missed this tour because I was in Oz)
Rush

I think I've been lucky in who I have managed to see through the years, mind you.

OK, gonna have to ask this, where did you see Danger Danger?

I was impressed at that

rgt320q

The Beatles - January 30 1969, Apple Corps. Rooftop.
Pink Floyd - Circa. 1973
Bob Dylan - Circa. 1965
Led Zeppelin - Circa. 1975
Grateful Dead - Circa. 1969
Rory Gallagher - Circa. 1976
Mötley Crüe - Circa. 1987
Queen - w/ Freddie Mercury
Jimi Hendrix - Anytime. Ever.

I know some of them are still on the go, but they each had a certain time in their career that was just either unbelievable unique, representative of the times, or both.

wolfmoon87

Pantera
Type O Negative

StormWarrior

The majority of my favourite bands, like Motley Crue, Europe, Def Leppard and Guns N' Roses, I have seen live, but unfortunately in the 80's when they were at their heydey I was a schoolchild and not allowed to go to concerts unaccompanied, and the only things my parents took me to see live were things I didn't even want to see! So I would like to have seen those bands as they were in the 80's. I wish I had seen Def Leppard when they still had Steve, I think Vivian is a crap guitarist, I've seen Leppard live 12 times and he has never gotten a solo right any of the times I've seen them. I also wish I had seen the Manic Street Preachers when they still had Richey.

rgjmce

Last Year: AC/DC (would have bought a ticket but for lack of money), Oasis

This Year: Heaven & Hell (and some people here probably know why)

Rubberlegs

Thin Lizzy when Phil Lynott was still alive would have been amazing, was only 12 or so when he died:(

Astro Zombie

Dio/heaven and hell. was gutted when they pulled out of the maiden thing, even more so when he died.

Maiden with Di'Anno

Misfits 95- Graves, Only, Doyle, Chud, Ive seen them with Only, Cadina, Robo not great like. Any of the danzig era line ups would of been rockin too.

Under A Funeral Moon

1) Type O Negative. RIP Pete Steele.

2) Gorgoroth with Gaahl.

3) Norther with Petri Lindroos. Aleksi is good, but I prefer Petri's vocals. At least I'll get to see him with Ensiferum.

That's all I can think of at the minute. Oh, and Elvis Presley, of course:p

As luck would have it he doesn't seem to have a picture of Cliff Burton from the Master of Puppets tour, in Dublin in the SFX in Sep 86

I mean, he probably does have one, but just not on the site out of respect for the fact Cliff died so soon after that performance

ICE HOUSE

The Clash

Use the search function...there's two photos of Cliff from that gig. I can't link directly and I'm not gonna rob his photos and upload em somewhere.

Dio, got so close to seeing him (with Heaven & Hell) support Iron Maiden next month

Would love to have seen Guns & Roses at Slane, but I was only 8 at the time

And would also loved to have been at Live Aid either in London or Philadelphia
