I used to go to every show I could, be it small clubs to larger venues. Now I stick to bands that I really want to see live as opposed to going just to go.

I go to as many gigs as I can, of bands that I like. I don't go out to clubs just for the sake of seeing music.

But I also play in a band that does 60+ shows a year, so I get my fill of clubs.

Ireland isn't the best for metal gigs. We get a couple of big bands each year. Like slayerdiabolus, I head over to the UK for a lot of gigs. Flights are cheap and there are a lot more tours hitting the UK.

When I was Youth, I was on a few gigs most it's polish bands. Last year, I was two times on Metallica gigs (2004 and 2008).
It is a lot concerts, but it requirement more time and money. So, I wait for next Metallica concert in poland with impatience.

I try to go to every show I can, in 2004 Ottawa had an amazing year concert wise, Muse, Sonic Youth, Cannibal Corpse, GWAR, Dream Theater, Cradle of Filth, Metallica... now, I really take whatever I get, last year I only went to 2 concerts all year long and sometimes the Ottawa crowd doesnt like to go to concerts which makes it even worse because bands stop coming here...

Last year, NIN only sold 3,000 tix and the crowd sucked hard, so I doubt they will ever come back...

my 1st show was a small type of nightclub setting in birmingham powerhouse, cinderella were playing, loved it, 1st time seeing them and 1 of my very 1st shows..
a friend of mine and myself would go to at least 1 and sometimes 2 a week. anything rock, metal , glam related.. we had a rule.. 1 week he would purchase 2 tickets for whatever bands took his fancy and i went along, following weeks i would do the same.
we seen some awfull shows but it was fun and different. we also seen some awsome bands that maybe if we didnt do it this way we never had gone to see. ie: little angels for example
nowadays family takes most of my time and cash, so i only go to a few each year that i want to see if i can afford it :rolleyes:

I try to catch as many of my favorite bands in as many dates as possible...

The thing is, I am a big fan of everything. Seriously, I have an enormous list of favorites I'll go out of my way to see every possible date. I guess living in Mexico it's a bit easier, since not so many bands come here for more than one date every couple of years or so, but for instance, I'm completely broke now, since I just saw Radiohead and Opeth twice in a row each, and I also got preferent tickets for Peter Gabriel. I also bought the best floor tickets for the three Metallica dates, and I still have Overkill, Anathema and Depeche Mode tickets to buy!!

I love going to shows. I love music above almost everyhting, and I truly feel that nothing beats the experience and the memories of live gigs, so I just go to every gig of any band I like that I can.

I used to hit just about any show I could. Two kids later, that isn't something I can do anymore. I try to hit the bigger shows in my area, but it seems a lot of them are during the week (damn, I sound old).

I hit a decent number of club shows and there are some bands I'll travel for (Rush most recently). I try to film as many of the club shows as I can, gotten some good footage with some more lined up in the near future.
