haha! so Ville are you a "maybe" on attending Tuska fest? is Riikka going?

by **Memnoch** » Tue Mar 20, 2012 7:47 am

We're both maybes. The lineup isn't that good. But I'll be in town for the weekend, so at the very least I'll see everyone after the bands each day. I'm not decided yet on whether I'm buying a ticket or not, so we'll see...soon. :beerwink:

they're still adding bands, maybe they'll add Triosphere or Septicflesh or someone cool like that!

Well, they say that it's always hot when it's Tuska for some reason

Last year it was a few weeks later, but it was 30 degrees and I was melting! But it was really lovely in the night as you didn't need a jacket :)

by **Memnoch** » Tue Mar 20, 2012 8:30 am

Well, usually during Tuska it's more like 25 to 30 Celsius in the daytime.

Seen ND a bunch of times already, but better than the last few announcements. Arcturus would be cool as it seems that I won't be seeing them at Brutal Assault.

Arcturus would be a HUGE HUGE HUGE HUGE add for me, i'm a big fan! would make the $2000+ i'm spending on this fest even more worth it!

i'm really excited, i can't click on the link Markku posted though, so i'm just hoping it's a credible source.

bring hats to colorado. do you still have that cowboy-ish hat? bring that one. it's sunny here!

Yeah, a friend of mine writes for that zine too, so I think it's a pretty solid rumor. :beerwink:

As for the weather, I think the average temp for July is around 18 C - and that's low because in the nighttime the temp is about 15 degrees or so. July highs are mostly above 20 and even above 30. Temp over 30 makes Tuska a painful festival (tuska = pain, agony).

Velhopeto rakastaa pekonia!

by **MadameLePink** » Tue Mar 20, 2012 9:42 am

We have more common must sees/want to sees than I thought :mrgreen:

For me:
MUST SEE
Insomnium
Overkill
Megadeth
Suidakra
Metsatöll
Apocalyptica

WANT TO SEE:
Skeletonwitch
Ministry
Sabaton

MAYBE:
Behemoth
Mokoma
Profane Omen
Swallow the sun

It looks like I'll have more beer time than you :party:

by **Memnoch** » Tue Mar 20, 2012 9:43 am

It should be Velhopeto as in Finnish the two words have to be joined to give it accurate meaning. Velho peto would make no sense, but velhopeto would mean a person (?) who's both a beast and a wizard. :beerwink:

sweet! yeah, when we switched to your music at gnoffi's place, i dug it, remember? i just don't like the super happy folk, but i like keybroads and some folk influence if the music is heavy/dark.

and as someone who usually watches TONS of bands at fests, any beer time i get is usually bonus....i did see 33 sets onbroad this year! my beer time simply replaced my sleep time in the wee hours of the night/morning!

Agreed. Although sunny and not hot is fine by me.

I usually prioritize away bands so I can have more beer time

Me too

If I am having fun talking to people, I would only leave the beer tent for a must see band. I've had festivals where I've seen no more than 4-5 bands for one reason or another :oops:

it's because you glorious Europeans are spoiled - you get great festivals all the time and so don't feel the need to watch all the bands.

a lot of these amazing bands rarely come to the states, so i feel like i had better watch them! we don't get very good festivals over here, only a few and they could be MUCH better.

but who knows, i'm also entitled to check out a song or two, then run back to the beer tent if i'm not blown away by a band! :cheers:

hey rhia the tuska area is small so that there is nothing to worry about !!

good to know! i am so looking forward to this fest! especially if they add Arcturus!

by **Stained Class** » Tue Mar 20, 2012 12:44 pm

Yeah it depends what people are going for really. I can drink beer at home, I can't see half those bands at home so I watch as many bands as is humanly possible at any festival I go to.

true dat, unless you're also drinking beers with people you only see 1-2 times a year...then the choice becomes much more difficult. :cry:

that's my problem as it was at WOA, mainly ppl I met once a year

You do know that you can drink beers with friends while watching the bands, right?

Not at Tuska or many other scandinavian festivals, as you can only drink beer in the designed areas and not in front of the stages

Neither in Denmark or in most other european countries, but Sweden and Finland have strict laws regarding alcohol, trying to prevent people from drinking too much, I guess (not that it works though!).
