I haven't gone in too many gigs and also i go to ones when i think it has something for me to offer.

My fave Gigs:Manilla Road
Candlemass,Accept,Slayer,Sodom,Iced Earth,Doomsword at least the ones i've satisfied or gone.

But if i go in a gig i will not go just to gaze like a girly popster,but to mosh and headbang in the first rows(yes even if in Sodom i was punched in the middle of my head)that's metal after all and not standing still like you are in a church!

Omen of hate, did you see a lot of shows in Aalst? I was born there and still live there, but was too young to witness all those great bands. Nowadays people want to organize more metalconcerts again but there simply isn't a suitable venue anymore.

Yes, I saw lots of gigs in Aalst and around.
In 80's and early 90's most of the gis organized in Belgium by Metallysée Agency happened in Aalst and around. In aalst, it was at the Netwerk (does this place still exist ?).
There were also lots of gigs in St Lievens Houtem and Denderhoutem.

I know that the ex-Cyclone's singer Guido has planned to open a Metal pub in Aalst, but I don't know if he succeeded or not.

Yes, when I hear the stories of older people this region really was the place to be in the 80's. Every single one of those venues got closed down a long time ago. Netwerk still exists but it is now an art centre, no venue anymore.
There has been a metalpub in Aalst for the last 6 years or so, but Guido isn't the owner. You can find him sitting at the bar quite often though, atleast when he's not on the other side of the world travelling. Here's the site: http://www.negasonic.com

The Dynamo club in Eindhoven (Holland) was also a metal walhalla in the eighties but I was too young to go there (i'm from 1977), DAMN :evil:
