Dream Theater and Jonathan Coulton are tied at three times. By the end of the month I will also have seen Devin Townsend three times.

Me: "How?"
Cole: "Well you know when you try to scratch your balls, and you scratch too hard?
I'll admit sometimes I want to listen to Dragonforce.

Dream Theater - 35

Lol... well, keep in mind that (a) that number is over a period of 11 years, (b) I basically live in the band's backyard, so they play a shit-ton of shows in this area, making it logistically easy to see them multiple times per tour (c) they used to play different set lists like every night, making it worthwhile to see them multiple times per tour, and (d) when I first started seeing them tickets were relatively cheap, making it affordable to see them multiple times per tour.  I mean, the first time I saw them I paid $25 for a GA standing room ticket and got a 3-hour set including Scenes From a Memory in its entirety.

Still that's a very impressive amount, same for seeing six bands at least seven times. Nice :)

DT - 5

A lot of bands I've seen only one time, PoS, TA, Sigur Ros etc.
Oh and I've seen De Jeugd Van Tegenwoordig live at least 5 times, they're a Dutch hiphop group.

I've mentioned this numerous times before but here goes

Overkill/Zebra/Twisted Sister  all 50+ (they all played the local club circuit in NY/NJ back in the 80's )

Anthrax 30-40 (same as above)

Metallica/DT/Megadeth/Mercyful Fate/King Diamond 10 +

Far too many to list 5+ times  I lived in metal clubs the entire 80's and a portion of the 90's so any band coming through the area was seen multiple times

Totally underrated and a total shame that most people only know him for a cover of Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes".

I've seen Dir en grey, Protest the Hero, Devin Townsend, and Tesseract twice (though both times I saw Tesseract they were opening).

Haha, well apart from that I keep bumping in to them at every free festival I'm at (I believe I literally never payed money to see them) they are great fun live! I must admit that  :D

The only band I've seen multiple times is Dream Theater (4x).
In high school my buddies and I built a Van Der Graaf generator.  You know, to get girls.
