right i forgot that because it's an opinion that means people aren't allowed to disagree or think badly of it

Well, you know, I guess the rarer the show is, the more I'm likely to go.

King Diamond
Mercyful Fate
Judas Priest
Iced Earth
Soundgarden

That's really about it. I'm not sure how exactly I haven't managed to see Judas Priest at least once already. They don't come around my area to often and the few times they did I wasn't able to make it. Still, I should've seen them by now.

I have seen all of these!

1. Tarot
2. Billy Idol
3. Impaled Nazarene
4. Bolt Thrower (Had a ticket argh)
5. Therion
6. Amorphis
7. Orphaned Land
8. Haggard
9. Nevermore
10. Angra

Morgana Lefay would be in the very top spot if they weren't on a break right now.

Billy & OL will come off this list in September

. Wish I could say the same about Tarot, though.

High on Fire
Immortal
Machine Head (Headlining Show)
Morbid Angel
Opeth (I've seen them before, but I really want to see them again...)
Sleep
Vital Remains

What years did you see King Diamond and Mercyful Fate? I know King hasn't played my area in ages. In think the last time may have been in the early 90s before I got into his stuff. That's the main reason I haven't seen him at all. I may have to see if I can look up somehwere exactly when it was he last played my town.

Iced Earth is the same. I can't honestly recall them ever playing a show around here, not even as an opener for someone

Soundgarden broke up before I got to see them, maybe on their reunion tour they'll come around.

I love this thread! It's forcing me to look up and recall events I may have previously forgotten about! My memory stinks!

I saw them each atleast once, possibly more though, here are the two I remember vividly.

Mercyful Fate 10/09/99 at the Trocadero in Phila PA
King Diamond 11/13/03 at the Trocadero in Phila PA

Oh and not sure if you know this, I have talked about it here before though, but Soundgarden was my first concert in 1994!
I have seen Iced Earth with both Ripper and Barlow. I know Ripper was at The Troc. I am thinking the Barlow show was as well.

Edit: Check out this website for all things King Diamond and Mercyful Fate. It lists every show ever played!

I found it quite helpful, may save you some time searching for dates past in your town!

I am thinking that was the King Diamond show in 2000 also at the Troc.
And trying to remember if I was there or not.

Also, I'm still trying to figure out -

1)who Nevermore was playing with when SYL played with Testament?
2) If Overkill AND Nevermore both opened for Mercyful Fate at Troc 1999?

Its hard to remember this stuff with my old, deteriorating brain.

1 - no idea, didnt see Nevermore until 2001
2 - that sounds familiar

Did you go to the march metal meltdown in 1999 in jersey?
