"Aaaaah!"



And now... for the obligatory and unoriginal but still fun to go through "seen live" list. A few of them, unwillingly. But that's all right, sometimes you have to put up with a lousy opener or two (read: Avenged Sevenfold) to get to the good stuff. I also include the bands that I actually see on festivals (not just every band on the bill), but I have to be really close to count them, because the sound quality on festivals is shitty.. and whatnot.
