@Djöfull: I would kill to see ONE of those bands, but 40?!

I was supposed to see IF play in Vancouver this summer but I can't now. *shakes fist* No good bands come to Edmonton.

 

[stefan86]

@Djöfull: do u live at a concert arena?

 

[Tebus]

The only real metal bands I've seen are Opeth and In Flames. I suppose BLS and Meshuggah too.

[Metal is Religion]

My "metal-virginity" was taken by an Iced Earth/In Flames show in April of 2002. that was a few weeks after Clayman came out. too bad i wasnt too fimiliar with older Iced Earth or In Flames. good times!

 

[BeyondtheUnholyGrave]

My first Metal show was Death back in 1998. Since then i've seen literally hundreds of shows and none compare to that one. I'll be at the IF show on the 30th in NY hoping to hear Dead Eternity, Lord Hypnos, Artifacts or Jotun and will probably end up hearing none of them. Oh well. At least a band like Metallica knows their new shit sucks and play all their old shit live. Why can't In Flames realize they need to play more TJR/Whoracle/Colony stuff?

 

[Incendiare]

No one ever comes here. IF played in Edmonton with Slayer last year but I ended up missing that concert anyway. So consider all of you people who can freely see hundreds of bands lucky.

 

[Cthulhu]

Onbly advice - if you wear spikes in the pit try to make sure you don't hit anyone in the face with them? It pisses them off to no end
