Volbeat at The Academy was great but of all the gigs I have seen this year nothing will touch Rush at the O2.

Simply amazing!

Roger waters at the point without a doubt. Though I'm sure Rush would have been up there had I been able to go

Oh god yea, KISS was amazing!

This year has to be Alice Cooper @ the o2, without a doubt blew everyone else I've seen out of the water.

Not strictly metal, but definelt Rock, I'd say Prince's gig in Malahide would be gig of the year for me anyway.

So far, Rush and Roger Waters gigs at the O2, Primordial at the Academy, and Amon Amarth/Ensiferum at Vicar Street (okay, Children of Bodom headlined but I went for those two, and my friends and I all thought they stole the show).

I'll second this, I was at the gig too and it was great, though I was there for CoB primarily.

Another vote for Rush and Roger Waters at the Point from me.
I thought Maiden were excellent in the Odyssey
Jimmy Barnes in the Olympia under very trying circumstances put on a great gig
Black Country Communion in Vicar St, although I'd be inclined to drop the keyboard solo!
