To explain, what's everyone's biggest loss (i.e. band that they missed the tour for) or worst decision (band you've seen live but were disappointed with after?

Mine would be biggest loss, got a ticket for the Eastpak Antidote Tour 2009, hoping to see The Fall of Troy, who of course then pulled out to focus on their new album and didn't return to the UK before they disbanded Unhappy.

So what's everyone else's bad experience(s)?

I haven�t seen Iron Maiden live yet. It just never seems to work out for me when they come to Denmark.
I haven�t seen Nevermore either, which is a band I would very much like to see live.
 
Gojira left me extremely disappointed when I saw them a few years back.
 
Other than that I�ve seen most of the band�s that I like to see. There are always some you�ll miss but I�m pretty much content.
 
That reminds me that we should create a thread where people could list the artists they�ve seen throughout the years.

The closest thing I could think of was going to Gigantour in 2005, and Dillinger Escape Plan pulled out of their remaining dates due to an injury to Ben Weinman.  Instead, I think Symphony X played a bit longer since Toronto was their last gig on the tour, but I don't really care for them.

I missed Opeth in Warsaw a few years ago and I'm still angry at myself because of that. A year later I missed Meshuggah in Krak�w because the date didn't suit meUnhappy

I went to Metal Hammer Festival last year to finally see Opeth, Katatonia and Riverside but the acoustics was terrible, I was really disappointed. The guys played great though.

When the anniversary shows for Opeth were announced early in 2010, I waited for one day to check if there are no impediments in seeing them, and when I came back to the ticketing sites, they were sold out. Ouch

Missing out on Blind Guardian on the most recent UK gig due to restarting university the very next day. Given the distance to travel, attending the gig was impossible. :(

Last summer I wanted to find some Rush tickets for a concert at Mohegan Sun, Connecticut, but they were all WAAAY too expensive, probably because it was also too late. Huge bummer for me. Cry

I saw Nevermore at the Gigantour gig I mentioned above.  It sucked that they only played 4 songs.  I was heavily into them at the time. Unhappy

I saw Dream Theater on the Awake tour which was a really great experience, but then I went to see them on the Falling...tour and I was very disappointed. They seemed tired and Labrie�s voice sounded like shit. He screamed more than he sang. I haven�t bothered to see them since. Actually my dedicated Dream Theater fanboy days were over after that concert. And they were Gods in my eyes back then. Now I�m more of a casual fan. You know! The kind that picks the albums up when he gets the chance to get them cheap and doesn�t have to purchase them the day they come out.

^Well those sound like the tours directly before and after Labrie damaged his voice from food poisoning. Personally, I still don't think he's recovered and he puts unnecessary vibrato on a lot of his singing when live. Shame that he has to be the weak link in a group of such strong musicians.
Lost respect for these archives when I saw Creed added, among other bands. Not going to be foruming here anymore. You can keep my reviews if you want.

There was a small chance last year for me to see both Dream Theater and Iron Maiden but it was in New York, the seats were expensive, and very, very far from stage.Cry

Bigelf were sweet though.  Way better, IMO, than they sound on their albums (which aren't all that good)

I never went to see my two favourite bands of all time when they toured together! :(
 
Dream Theater and Symphony X on the Chaos in Motion tour back in 2007.
