what happened there?

A Romanian gang went rampant there pickpocketing loads of people.

As did two ones on WOA this year. Those guys weren't only pickpocketing, they cut through tents and stole purses, cameras and other valuable stuff.
But they were caught in the end.

Gonna wait for the lineup, though it's a good chance there will be a MS Wacken meeting in 2010 and i'm gonna be in it hehehe seeing as it's a lot easier to reach than for example the Hellfest or Metal Camp festival sites. worked out a way of getting there for only 260 euros, which is a lot cheaper than what i paid this year(something like 430 in total), it was bad/late planning that made me give that much cash.

anyway CC and Immortal tickle my ears, this year's lineup was very good for me so i'm curious what next year could offer. my hopes are high for Priest, Iced Earth, Manowar, 3 Inches of Blood, Scorpions, Maiden and Blind Guardian.

Manowar will never go to Wacken. And neither should we welcome them. They rather make their own festival as it seems. And since Germany is the only country where they actually have fans (not counting that one guy in Romania), it's already in stone that they will play the mcm festival once a year foreverandeverandeverandeverandeverandeverandeverandeverandeverandeverandeverandeverandeverandeverandeverandnever.

I sincerely hope for both Bloodbath and Hypocrisy. So that Peter can sing the songs from Nightmares Made Flesh during the Bloodbath gig. That alone would be worth the whole festival for me.

LOL! i should have predicted a reply like this hahaah, you know that doesn't really exclude Bloodbath/Hypocrisy, it was just a thought hehe.

other bands i'd love: Mercyful Fate(though it's 0.01% they'll re-unite ), and any band from the big 4 of thrash(ALMOST got Anthrax this year, but they preferred to be drama queens rather than actually play music).


aside from that though, i was pretty annoyed this year at the huge amount of crowd surfers(first time i've ever seen crowd surfing, yeah it's not really a common thing back here), i'm glad i wasn't in the front row during Nevermore's "Born" hahaha, that shit was insane. anyway i don't like them because they just make you stop headbanging/enjoying the show for 5 seconds, then you try to resume doing that but you can't help but look behind every 10 seconds just to make sure no-one lands on your head. it sucks, and then you gotta move away from the stage to actually enjoy the show.

Written by corrupt on 26.10.2009 at 10:53

Yeah, or get knocked out by one of them and not enjoy Born at all
There's a ton of bands I'd love to see there. But in recent years the festival kinda moved away from what I'm interested in. Lets see what would tickle me: Age Of Silence (I think they've never played live at all), Arcturus (maybe in 2011), Blind Guardian, Candlemass, ChthoniC, Communic, Death Angel, Dissection (I know, right?), Emperor (why not reunite for another show?), Haggard, Kalisia (!), Kreator (might happen, new album), Mercenary, Ministry ( ), Nocturnal Rites, Opeth (unlikely in a year where Bloodbath are playing. Aaand since they are... ), Savage Circus, The Sins Of Thy Beloved, Trail Of Tears (one of the few bands I like that I've never had the chance to see), Vital Remains, Winds, Wintersun.

I ordered them alphabetically

I wouldn't mind them re-hashing the 2007 lineup of Summer Breeze festival. Or the 2008 one. Or the one from 2009. But then again I wouldn't have enough time to get drunk and hang around with crazy Danes or Romanians

lol you really like SB huh? i'd agree with the 2008 lineup, Subway(yeah i'm one of those weirdos who isn't from Germany but likes them, even though i understand something like 1% of the lyrics), 3 Inches of Blood, Ensiferum, Primal Fear, plus next year's bands Immortal(nice twisted melodic black metal) and CC(epic fun)... good shit right thar. to be totally honest though, if Scorpions announce festival appearances next summer i'm gonna attend the German festival they're gonna book(and if there's more than one i'll just look at the rest of the bands). they are the no. 1 band i want to see PRONTO, apart from AC/DC but they're way too expensive. they even booked a show here around this time but they canceled plus i think there's gonna be some atmosphere knowing their (well-deserved) legend status in Germany.


also, i am thrilled by your charming adjective in refferance to my person

Written by corrupt on 13.11.2009 at 00:52

If you don't come to WOA next year I'll see to visiting you and kicking your ass! Also if they're rehashing lineups anyway, there's this band from 2006 I'd really love to see... aaargh, way too obvious. And did I mention Bloodbath yet? Also Valentin, your German is way better than you give it credit. I bet you're a little compliment skank eh?

Corvus Corax looks like a great live band, sure it's not metal but it's pretty epic and fun(especially Chou Chou Sheng).. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvnywZdNl5Y

how were they at WOA 2008?

I don't think I saw them and if I did, I can't remember it so they can't have been anything special

it's always easier to enjoy music if you know it in advance

Today there are only 6 days untill the first of december and from then on the crunch mode for band-confirmations for the W:O:A 2010 will start: Every day one band will be confirmed for the festival. The tricky-part is, that there will be a contest at the advent-calendar on each day, and the clou to the puzzle will be the name of the band, that will be confirmed on the next day!
Beside of many daily winnings (signed guitars, merch-packets, and more) the main-prices will be a brand-new D-DRUM drumset and flights for 2 persons into an european mètropole of your choice!
Sounds nice, and it really is - The countdown is running out!
