Like you, I'm a long way away from where most gigs are held. Six hours by car, or eight hours on a train, so gigs have never been a regular thing for me, as they always cost a lot of money and time to attend. I've probably only been to 20/25 gigs since my first one in 1988. There are a load of bands I'd loved to have seen, but the main ones that spring to mind are.
Slayer
Queensryche (Mindcrime/Empire era)
Lillian Axe (with Ron Taylor)
Testament
Ratt (Detonator era or earlier)
Twisted Sister
Tesla
