Too busy with 70K and ProgPower USA to even consider Wacken for me it's the other way round - I just can't make it to PPUSA every year I'm even kinda glad that Fri/Sat isn't really my cup of tea, making it easier for me to skip it again... There's also the location factor. For you it is easier to g...

I'd presume comedy shows count as non-metal? We've got tickets to see Lewis Black sometime in early March, and Patton Oswalt sometime in May. So stoked to see Patton! ---and I'm just about to order tickets for Jimmy Carr; unfortunately, I can't go to Dylan Morran three weeks later... Not with that ...

[...]I have a friend that has gone 10 years in a row... crazy!

I got a ticket for my 17th in a row but I say this every year: one last time

last: Erste Allgemeine Verunsicherung (= the EAV show mentioned before)
next: wouldn't know - hopefully, I'll finally make it to Amy Macdonald this year...

only two more days left before departure

XIII is definitively the better choice


np: RAVENOUS E.H - Conquering the Sun

Can you bring some onboard? How much is a beer onboard?

if things haven't changed, you're allowed to bring one bottle of wine per person

OH MY GOODNESS it is a WAY more intrusive process than it used to be

a wonder they don't wanna know the name of the cat of my grandparent's neighbours
---and it got way more expensive (4x compared to the first one)

Night Demon - Hallowed Ground (live)

Rage & Orchestra - 2

2/100

well, the "preparation" with its short test-line and such easily takes an hour, but there isn't much walking involved

The next one will be Erste Allgemeine Verunsicherung.

right! I better get a ticket for the show in June before it gets sold out as well!

Bought new luggage for the cruise!
There. That's how exciting my life is....

---and for 2020 it will be a new haircut!

I'm not listing bands like the Beatles I didn't have a chance to see anyway - so, it's basicly the early 90ies show of R.E.M. I regret I wasn't allowed to go to :D (I know they are still around, but it wouldn't be the same) really glad I got to see Helloween with Kiske the last few months! still hop...

thank god, I'll be wearing flipflops most of the time...

last: Helloween (final show of the tour, Hamburg)
next: 70k

last time, I did the zip-line which was fine yet kinda underwhelming - but at least I had something unrelated to metal&beer to tell about back home

I was gonna go last time but decided for beer at the pub instead. You all suck anyway.

the last few years, I didn't even have to decide against it to not show up as the first hours go by way too fast

finally put my wishlist together:

last: Nightwish
next: I consider going to Italy for Frozen Crown; otherwise it will be Stratovarius or Axxis

I guess, this was the closest Switzerland will ever get to winning a World Cup

last: Angra
next: Rock Fest Barcelona (with Scorpions, Judas Priest, Helloween, Kiss, Ozzy etc.)

last: Rock Fest Baercelona with Running wild, Avantasia, Alice Cooper, Pretty Maids, Rage, Aerosmith, Europe a.s.o.
next: probably Wacken (or Magnum tonight)

I was about to send you an E-Mail - but this is way easier
two weeks! I probably have the same level of excitment

last: Ice Rock Festival with Threshold and Almanac
next: Hammerfall, followed by Grave Digger the night before my departure to Miami

I went to Wacken back in 2009. I had a blast but there are way too many people. The campground got pretty disgusting by the end of the fest. Make sure you claim a spot on high ground when you get there. I'd say it's certainly worth the pilgrimage once, but I don't think I'll go back. around 2009, I...

Rock Fest Barcelona has strong arguments with Running wild and Avantasia

it took me a minute to figure out how to "update" the band list :)
thx again for your effort!

ok, going to Wacken after all
thought my streak would come to an end
but year 14 here I come
(I couldn't be less thrilled but that's just for now)

two days ago they played their last gig with the old line up right around the corner - I considered going...but didn't...

last: David Duchovny
next: Alice Cooper

saw Circus Maximus for the first time and then Royal Hunt on a different night next up will be Avantasia (twice) How was Circus Maximus? I'm loving the new song. it was really good and interesting to see those talented musicians performing live on stage - but for me they are more like a studio band...

I still didn't get my Hands on the new Avantasia
I ordered the earbook a while ago and now I received an e-mail that it's sold out
guess I have to drive to the next store tonight - after all, there's just one week left 'till their shows

saw Circus Maximus for the first time and then Royal Hunt on a different night
next up will be Avantasia (twice)

Seems I won two tickets (with meet&greet with the band) for tonight's Halestorm gig in Helsinki. The venue is maybe 300 metres from my place, so I guess I'm going. yeah, the taxi shouldn't cost much EDIT: and today we had a beautiful day! two weeks ago there was snow and now I was having a late...

my Avantasia earbook still hasn't arrived
ordered an older Circus Maximus CD, too - and guess what?! also hasn't been shipped yet
