No they could have been a band still formed when you had the chance to see them. So if you where 20 when the Beatles where around but missed out, then you can say the Beatles. But I could not as they were long gone by the time I was old enough to see them! ---

The most annoying is that Avenged Sevenfold are one of my favourite bands, in my top 4 for sure, but will they tour over in the UK… Nope! ---

Amen to that 'slowlane. I’m not really sure I understand the premise of this thread any more, but I’ll throw some petrol onto Simo’s fire. Pixies The Clash The Smiths (saw Morrissey but not The Smiths) Darren Hanlon (just doesn’t seem to tour the UK anymore) Bob Marley Neutral Milk Hotel ---

The Horrors, cannot believe I forgot them! I have I suppose seen them when they supported MUSE in Copenhagen, but I did not know who they were, it was only their first album which was crap! I only knew who they were after Primary Colours was released. ---

Pretty sure I’ve virtually ticked through all of my list. In fact, from looking at my Last.fm profile, it appears I’ve seen all but 3 of my top 50 most listened to artists (and one of those is playing a festival I’m at in a couple of weeks). Weezer were certainly elusive for a while but have seen them 4 or 5 times now. Hmm… - Garbage - System of a Down That’s it! ---

Oh another one, a band that have managed not to see, even though they were formed the year I left school in 1991… Machine Head. ---

There’s one that I really want to see, but can never see. Bon Scott era AC/DC, when the vast majority of their songs were good and they were touring smaller venues. I am very pleased to have seen them in 1991, and I watch quite a lot of their performances from back in the day. As a bonus, I’d also get to enjoy Health & Safety rules of the 1970s, like being able to smoke in a pub, or score acid in the bogs. The one band I really, but not really, feel I missed out on is Guns n Roses. They are famously inconsistent live. Even their best gig is nowhere near studio quality. Most bands of distinction either equal or better their recorded performances. Skid Row were a bit like that. Brilliant album sound, marred by the fact that Sebastian Bach just couldn’t pull it off live (oo-er missus). Too much time in the studio, I reckon. The equivalent of stuffing a foil-wrapped cucumber down your trouser leg. Mostly, it’s impressive - but you always get found out. ---

Same here, went the year before to see RATM and Porno for Pyros, and was all set for the year after to get tickets, but could not get the bank holiday weekend off work, when in catering!
