Awesome. And good quality.

Survived Woodstock. The Prodigy was as awesome as expected or even more so, but the festival is simply too huge for my taste, even tho the atmosphere is peacful and friendly. Something in between 500.000 and 700.000 people there this year - more than every year before. The great thing that I didn't know before: Not only doesn't the entry cost anything, but the bands also don't ger paid for performing there. However, considering another visit there would only happen if there'd be a must-see like The Prodigy again.

Here's a clip shot during "Smack my bitch up" - not the best sound quality, really, but you get the idea about the atmosphere and the size of the thing pretty well!

love the US version of that album-especially the indian/middle eastern part in the middle of that song-i went to an indian guy from my wife's work's wedding and all the music sounded like that-it was cool.

my summer festival is to make noise on instruments and jump in the pool afterwards.Betterthan lollapalooser and ozfest thats for sure

So I'm back from Wacken and yeah, what can I say? It was great fucking fun as always. And for the first time in years, it didn't seem to have grown. Maybe even less people this year than last. We were able to step forward to the front of the crowd at Ozzy, Priest and several other big acts without hassle and even had still enough room to stand at ease. A trend that may continue!

What shouldn't continue tho is the commercialization of the thing. This really gets worse every year and it kinda spoils the fun when you're drinking at the campsite with your friends and get harassed by ice-cream vendors every couple of minutes. "Hello want ice?" Think of them bums trying to sell you roses in rock bars while you're trying to chat up a girl. Retarded shit. And what the hell is up with Nintendo having a stand at a metal fest? And insurance companies blaring their ads over the yells of the crowd on the big screens next to the stages?

Not to mention prices. For the germans in here: Have you ever eaten a Leberkäsbrötchen that cost you a fiver? I was tempted to do so cause I thought this might be my only chance to get one that expensive.

But apart from all that, it was yet again a weekend to remember. My tenth Wacken anniversary, and I celebrated it in style. 20 beers a day not counting schnaps, 3 pouches of tobacco in 4 days, saw countless great bands, suffered from hangovers in the heat, danced like an idiot in pouring rain, made new friends, met old ones as if we never parted, and by my side the girl I love.

Fuck the commerce, Wacken, you rock!

Anyone going to Hole in the Sky ??

No but I'm back from Wacken-Party San-Summer Breeze.

first one was nice.
second one most totally fucking awesome (as usual)
last one, after 4 years saying it I have now decided I really won't go back to it next year. shitty organisation there, not enough party also

I liked summer breeze, except for Moonsorrow and Rotting Christ playing at 1 and 2 at night and bf being tired refused to go!!!!

But I found out MS is coming to Darmstadt in November yeah!

So?
The boyfriend of my best friend was also sleeping for 2 hours when RC started, but she also watched the show with me...

Yeah but we stayed about 12 km from the site and he was the driver
