What Band do You Regret Not Seeing Live?

[Corey James]

Badlands

Alice in Chains! Lane Staley is my all-time favorite singer and I have no interest in seeing them without him.

I'll be honest, I enjoy those smaller shows so much more. Saw ACDC last year and felt like I was sitting in the next state and $250 a ticket. Meanwhile, I have seen L.A. Guns, Sebastian Bach, Quiet Riot, Yngwie, etc. at this club I go to with other like minded metalheads and have like 4 to 5 bands for $25 to $45 typically. Everyone is cool, close to the stage, etc.

Yeah the smaller shows are the shit! Opeth at the machine shop (500 capacity) was epic

Chains with staley

AIC w/ Layne
Badlands
Van Halen w/ Roth pre 1985, I did see them with Roth 2007, 2012 and 2015 but it was his Vegas act but still good but not the same.
UFO w/Schenker (Too Young)

Not a band exactly, but I still am kicking myself for not going to see Tom Waits on one of his 2000’s shows

Saw Gary open for Rush in 1984. I went specifically to see Gary but I did like Rush also . Gary was awesome , I saw him again in 1987

You went to the grace under pressure tour to see the opening act??

Metallica

Damageplan. Unfortunately og Pantera had split before I was old enough to go to gigs

Always been a prog rock guy and wish I could've seen Emerson, Lake and Palmer in their heyday.

Maybe Metallica on the Justice tour. First came to the U.S. in ‘89 and certainly became a voracious concert goer as no one ever came all the way to Perth, Australia but I don’t remember seeing a concert announced in my area that year (Boston Ma.). They probably played the Centrum in Worcester, so I can’t say I missed it intentionally. Was a big fan and it would have been the last time seeing them when they were the real deal. Didn’t see them until ‘95 and wasn’t even all that excited to see them as Black and Load had eroded my love.

Gotta say, I’m pretty happy with what I got to see over the years.

For Today
After the Burial with Justin Lowe
Necrophagist

I guess a lot of bands I'd like to see still play shows, but I'm not a fan of crowds.

 

[psychic_driver]

MOTORHEAD

 

[67mike]

Plasmatics

R.I.P Wendy

I was fortunate to see Kingdom Come, Metallica, Dokken, Scorpians, Van Halen during 1988 Monsters of Rock tour and yes, that was the order I saw them. Unbelievable day.

Side story is my friends and I got busted in the parking lot for underage drinking. We had a car trunk full of beer. Luckily we were able to get out of jail in time to make the show.

Otherwise, my answer to the OP is Led Zeppelin.

 

[napalmdeath]

AC/DC for me. Kiss would be in the conversation as well.
