It's a real happiness!

I saw them only 1 time. I hope I'll see Kotipelto once more and once more and once more and... etc. Than I saw our russian singer Svetlana Surganova for 2 times (she sings songs for the lesbians )and russian rock-band DDT for 1 time. Also I saw for 2 times Valentina Ponomareva who sings russian romanses.

I've seen Dio, Amon Amarth, Aborted, Leng Tche, Edguy, Konkhra, few songs of Ancient before I got bored, Apoptygma Berzerk, Das Ich, Accessory, Hocico, Vialka ...

Russian bands - Aria, DDT, Vopli Vidopliassova, Auktsion, Yuri Naumov (great virtuose blues guitarist), Leningrad, Korol I Shut, Tequilajazzz.

Local bands worth mentioning - The Astroglides, Vultures, Orphaned Land, Salem, Los Caparos ...

Hmm, I'm going only to mention the most important ones:

Stratovarius - Deftones - Nightwish - H-BlockX - Semtex - Jamaica Mo'Mix - Judas Priest

Also many others, famous ones like Megadeth, Hammerfall or Savatage, unknown and small bands, but those aren't as important as the above mentioned.

The next "must-go" would definitely be System Of A Down!

-Corvus Corax
-Stratovarius
-Shakra
-HammerFall
and some local band

not much yet, i know

nightwis, Edtwine, Dream theater..
And also Wigwam..(Norwegian Glam Rock)...

Sometimes I'm getting veryveryVERY *ANGRY* about the swiss organisation of concert!!!!
I was on the Gotthard gig and in Germany Wigwam was the support act so I thought they rock the stage in Switzerland too but *fk* there was a swiss punk band, didn't really adapt to the evening and I was so disappointed: I looked so much to the Wigwam's Gig and then there was that disappointment.....

Is Wigwam a good live band???

Bands I have seen live? So much, there were a lot... I could tip it down here but I don't have the list here so I'll do it later

Well, the first time I saw Stratovarius was in my small hometown Kamp-Lintfort , about 11 years ago. They played just about 150m from the house of my parents. It was the "Fourths-Dimension"-world-tour.

But I've never seen any russian bands in my life. A few years ago, it seemed that I had the ability to play in Russia with my band, for an exchange-project from the Deutsche Wanderjugend (Youth Organisation). Regretfully, the band that was confirmed first and had stepped back later stepped in again...

Angra billions of times
Shaman millions of times
Strato twice
hammerfall
maiden

krisiun
kreator
destruction
nightwish or sandwish
scorpions

vader
morbid angel
kotipelto

and others that i dont remember haha

I'm not a big concert goer, but bands I've seen live include:
Sonata Arctica
Nightwish
Kotipelto
HammerFall
Stratovarius

That's pretty much it. I'm one lazy fucker, so I rarely attend gigs outside of my city of residence...if only I could convince Kamelot and Symphony X to play a gig in my living room...
