Need to add a few bands to my wishlist:

Aephanemer
Frozen Crown
Lonewolf
Venom Prison

Frozen Crown

last: Shadowpath
next: Sonata Arctica

For this year and last year, the only 'issue' I made a comment about was regarding the booking tiers, or rather the seeming lack thereof at this point. I know I'm not the only one that feels this way, but it's frustrating not being able to get the room one requested, let alone the deck, because som...

just throwing in some "fun facts":
- this year, we had a co-headliner (set-length) with 27k facebook likes (Rage)
- Stratovarius has way more likes than Blind Guardian (1.1mio vs. 0.69mio)

Avantasia - Requiem for a Dream

last: Satan (finally got to see them again after over a decade - glad I found out about the show a few days ago; we need them on the boat!)
next: probably Shadowpath

checking my mailbox daily

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)
