For the record, Dublin is the WORST PLACE IN THE WORLD I could have chosen to spend a year JUST as I was getting obsessed with a bunch of currently popular bands. You know why? Because NO ONE COMES HERE. Belfast? Sometimes! London? Sure! Heck, let's hit Glasgow! And while we're at it, let's go to Malaysia! BUT NOT DUBLIN. Why are we the bastard stepchild of the music world??? D: D: D:

My ENTIRE FLIST this evening is "PHANTOM PLANET!!!" and "LOOK HOW MANY HCT DATES I'M GOING TO!" No joke, every single post. Now, I'm happy for you guys, in an objective way, but right now I am exhausted and drained and upset because I've hurt my knee doing karate and so I'm just sitting here sulking. Because not even the news that Panic was coming to the UK was helpful to me. On top of that, the MCR dates in London were a DIRTY STINKING LIE.

I'm going to go curl up in a sad little ball and watch myself some Torchwood.

I totally sympathize. No one ever comes to Israel. Stupid place.

Ugh, I bet. I mean. We're getting the Backstreet Boys next month! That's something I suppose? :P

Oh man, that sucks so hard :( I'm so sorry, especially because the MCR dates ended up being untrue! *HUGS*

And I hope your knee feels better soon! *kisses it better*

It does suck, a lot :( *snuggles you* Are you on AIM, or can you be? I'd love to talk to you!

Now would be a good time to learn about, and get into, european bands

Why are you replying to someone else's comment?

And alright then, mister knows everything, who should I get into?

Yeti! (Ha, sorry to barge in, I just couldn't resist. Uh, also, if I was in Dublin I would totally go see Heathers play, but then I have weird taste in music so I'm probably not the best to offer advice.)

I'm sorry you're missing so many bandom gigs though :( Maybe there'll be something on here you're interested in? Ireland really does seem to get a bad deal when it comes to tours, though.

Im not sure why I replied to someone else. Oh well.

I don't have suggestions for you. Many of my favorite bands are european, but I don't think you'd like them.

Nightwish, Within Temptation, Lacuna Coil, After Forever for example. They're all symphonic metal, and they all have lead female vocals (and luckily for me, I saw the first three in Boston).

However, if you know a european band you like, look for featured guests, who are usually part of other european bands. Thanks to this, I just discovered:

"Apocalyptica is a Finnish cello metal group"

...hello, awesome!
