I fagged out on a bunch of shows this year, as usual. I'm sure you did too.

Midnight @ Welfare Records was dumb to miss, no excuse except the long drive.

Christian Mistress @ O'Briens, no excuse but pure laziness.


Black Breath @ Church (did this even happen? I have seen it listed on the net as having taken place but never even heard about it @ the time)

Evoken in CT, could have hitched a ride with NZ to this but flaked after "a long day at work" which is really pathetic.

almost went down to NYC for Hour of 13 Gates of Slumber and also (like the next week) for SLEEP but didn't bother to go either time.

any big regrets?

marduk at beginning of year and cynic when they played focus at harpers.

Nile.. @ upstairs.

Alcest.... erm... nevermind

Disembodied / last Iron Age show in NYC

and Eyehategod @ Cambridge Elks

really pissed i couldnt go see Nile at Club Hell, but their performance at the Palladium Upstairs was good enough to hold me over for a while

Also, Evoken in CT, i was playing a show an hour away, damnit!

Cynic.

I never regret missing shows anymore. I've been to enough of them where I know I'll live.

Scaphism getting kicked in the dick.

Anal Cunt at Champion's.

EVOKEN

Nails @ Bogie's

Can't really remember any others... guess that means I've gotten over it.

none. music is poison to me.

FNM in NY. Wasn't exactly my choice to miss it, either.

too many to list. since i became a dad a couple years ago, i've missed more awesome shows than i've gone to, but that's to be expected.

portal sucked. goreguts was amazing. just saying

wanted to see maiden in montreal back in july or whenever. should have went to see cynic.

Welcome to my life! But if anything...it makes the shows you DO make that much better.

true. also, i can't complain because i love spending time with my daughter.

Goreguts sounded awful at MDF. Portal on the other hand was awesome. Still wanted to see them at GS.

I still think a heavy metal playdate is in order.

You really didn't miss much, its just not the same with Seth stuck behind a guitar

megadeth,slayer, testement:If i knew they where playing the albums they did no way would i have missed it!
Hypocrisy
Crowbar

but i did get to see a bunch of awesome shows this year
portal and immolation shows were awesome

ITT: melodic metal arranged marriages

forgot about this. wish i got those cheap tickets when available.

Eyehategod at Elks
Gorguts (went to show but couldn't get in since I didn't have an advance ticket)
Primal Fear at Harper's Ferry
Overkill at Rocko's

awesome show was awesome.

Definitely Portal at Great Scott ...

Same. I guess I'm getting old. I don't even give a shit about MDF next year due to how bad my feet, knees and back hurt this past year.

Still kicking myself for missing that secret Morbid Angel / Profanatica / Arghoslent gig @ Bollywood Sam's!

forgot to list Negative Approach at Church, although that one sold out before I got in, so at least I didn't fully flake.

Also would have loved to made the Pagan Altar in Montreal, but there was never a chance of that happening.

HAHA OLD

Despised Icon, Misery Index, Revocation. I hate myself for missing this show.

Midnight at Welfare Records
Despised Icon, Misery Index, Revocation in Holyoak
Hellbastard
Evoken
Megadeth, Slayer, Testament
Doro
Accept
Roky Erickson
every single show that happened in Montreal

either i was playing out or it was too expensive

I had to work during the crowbar show in RI, and the Cambridge one was sold out. so fucking pissed.
What was I thinking not going to see Rocky Erickson?
I'm sure there's bunch of others.

too depressing to post about...

if you mean the one at the cherry st. Yes.

yeah, I had free tickets to Suicidal that same night, and that was definitely a fun show, but I still can't believe I didn't see Roky ... I think that was the first time he ever played Boston in his life?

Cynic at Harper's Ferry. Focus in its entirety, most of Traced, and one Portal song? FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK.

anyone who missed roky erickson missed a hell of a show. definitely my favorite show of the year.

Bummed on missing Roky, tho the Cro-Mags and Suicidal was a fucking BLAST. Wouldn't have minded seeing Cynic and stealing the vocoder and blaming it on Tymon because he's black.

portal did not suck. that was a jaw dropping experience.

just open this link and you will see...
