Eh, I'm only a casual fan at best- Wasn't aware there was a shitload of issues with the lineup back then.
I saw them by chance the first time on SikTh's farewell tour at Sheff Corporation back in 2007. Absolutely spot on live, as you'd expect. Second time was in 2008 at Rio's in Leeds while celebrating a mate's 21st, needless to say I was a bit wasted but from what little I remember of that gig they were pretty class.

Let me see...
Alestorm x2 (caught them last night)
Megadeth x2
Hate Eternal x2

Local bands:
Ruins x2
Contrive x4
Internal Nightmare x2
Terrorust x3
Fuck...I'm Dead x5 (I think)

I've never seen a band more than once. New Zealand's just that isolated.

...and I have it in my head that once people have been here they never come back. I suppose if I wanted to, I could see many NZ metal bands over and over, but for the most part I avoid going to live shows unless it's a band I really really like.

So I've only seen Opeth, Dream Theater, and Devin. I got to miss Katatonia thanks to work.

Oh and I saw Metallica once at our Big Day Out festival back in ...'04 (I think?). Because I had free tickets.

Hate Eternal x2

Dying to see them. I know it'll be amazing when I do.

Queen. Twice.

You know how jealous I am.

Dream Theater x4 (plus Petrucci and Portnoy at G3)
Devin x2 (DTB and acoustic set)
Alter Bridge x2
Steve Vai x2
Skid Row x2
