You've been to an eclectic selection of gigs, not really things I'd have thought went together in one person's musical tastes... that said I'll listen to most things

I've only been to two so far, Within Temptaion and Machine Head, both at Manchester Academy. Within Temptation were amazing

Only started going to gigs a couple of years ago and can't afford to go to anywhere near as many as I would like but I've seen...

Megadeth @ Nottingham Rock City
Iron Maiden @ Sheffield Arena (2006)
Iron Maiden @ Download 2007
Megadeth @ Download 2007
Loads of others at Download like Shadows Fall, Machinehead, Motley Crue, etc
Heaven & Hell (with Dio) @ Sheffield Arena

Going to Wacken 2008 at the end of the month in Germany and Maiden, Children of Bodom, Kreator and dozens of other heavier thrash/death metal bands are playing there so that should be interesting... they have a metal ballroom thing on 'till 6am every night

I'm not one for paying for bands that I don't particularly like or aren't a fan of, there's loads of other bands I listen to but cant really warrant paying £30-40 a ticket plus travel etc just to see them live.

I forgot to add an amazing greek power metal band called FIREWIND who I've seen live supporting Dragonforce, and they're are playing in Leeds on Sept 20th so I think I may well go down if I'm not doing anything else
