I've seen them once, 4 days ago. I also had the honour of meeting them briefly after their show, took photos with them and all. However, Axe was on his own and I didn't recognize him since I haven't seen him many times. But oh well, I met all the rest! /lifestory

 

[Lightbulb Sun]

Once
Could have seen them twice but things just aren't working for this upcoming tour

 

[Guitar-Non-Player]

Two times.
The last one was on my birthday - one of the happiest days of my life, honestly!
AWESOME

 

[Necropeth]

Once for me. Probably seeing them on one of their headlining gigs.

 

[Shredzilla]

I haven't seen them once! I hate each and everyone of you that have seen them, and I wish you nothing but DOOM!!!!!!!!


Just kidding, but I am jealous.

 

[intothetrees]

I've avoided seeing them because if I did, I would die of a heart-attack of being in the presence of their awesomeness. Jk. I haven't seen them, but I hope in the future I will!

 

[Vega Skater]

Once, Sydney 06.

And September 6th will be legendary. Seriously going to be a highlight of 2008.

 

[Detective Clarence Beauregard]

Twice, hopefully three times by October.

 

[SeViMeTaL]

i've seen them 1 time (on 20th of june)and it was really awsome

 

[badabiing]

None!

I was supposed to see them for the first time at the Hove Festival 27.June. But then Mike got chicken pox.. So now I'm planning on getting my ass over to Metal Rock Fest in Lillehammer 16.August for their 90 minutes show!

 

[BwA Ethereal]

I have only seen them once. In Milwaukee at the Rave in 2007. It looked like some asshat threw a beer at Mikael in the begining of the set and I was thinking "you idiot! They may not come back now!" A buch of people were also yelling out "Lamb of God" as they were set to play later. Mikael handled it very professionally and didn't go all Axel Rose by jumping in the crowd throwin punches.
I missed them at the Rosemont in Chicago a few weeks back but I heard that they may be coming back to the Rave in Milwaukee this year? I didn't see that show on their website so can someone confirm this?

Oh, that kind of thread...

well, I became a man in 2003 Helsinkki, after the gig met the band, etc etc...
then Sziget 2005 (Hungary) Axe's first gig, met Mickael there before the show, also talked and took picture together.
later in 2005 Helsinkki again. Met the band at the signing session, was really mad that I had to repeat 3rd time that they have to come to Estonia!

Mickael got away (lucky bastard) from seeing me @ Graspop 2008... pretending he had chicken pox. He new that he would get a punch in the face from me (for not coming to Estonia).

 

[Sefeed]

Once. When their backdrop came down before they played I shat myself.

 

[Cari]

I saw them once, at Ruisrock- and was so disappointed, I won´t spend any money on a gig after this experience...

 

[Markitos`s apprentices]

none!O!)=!)·$)
and seems that neither this year I going to have the possibility to see them

 

[Necropeth]

FUCK YES. Turns out I can see them in Seattle for a headlining gig.

 

[Ozzloaf]

Only once,
Soon to be two though!

Progressive Nation 2008, Oakland, May 3rd

(US Tour, San Francisco, October 6th)

 

[OPETH_DT]

5 times for me: headlining shows in 2003, 2004, 2005, and 2006, and in 2003 when they opened for Porcupine Tree, opening their set with the Damnation album.
