WOW just WOW

I wished I lived over in Europe. I have wanted to see Rammstein live for a long time. I missed the seattle gig and still have not gotten over it.

Careful what you wish for!!!

saw rammstein 3 times already, the 4th time will be in June 2013 Rammstein/Behemoth show, doesnt get any better now does it?

wow, that was amazing... I didnt have time to get mine

that's impressive. i'm a huge Anthrax fan but i'm not sure i'd be down with Scott's spoken word, anyone have a clue as to what it's like.

Especially if you reside in sweden, switzerland and finland

Add these great metal fests every year...
I think its time to migrate

It's times like these I wish I lived in Europe. I wanted to try and get tix for this year, especially with Candlemass, Doro, Deep Purple, and Ihsahn. Sadface.

Never been to Wacken, or any multiple-day music festival that involves camping.

Put it this way, I take a shower every day. Actually, twice, most often. Sometimes three times. Obsessive compulsive? Maybe.

But the first thought that comes to me is: what the fuck does it smell like in the crowd on day three? After a quick google search, it would appear that showering and bathing is available, but not necessarily taken up by all attendees. There is talk of pity for other commuters who are sharing trains and buses with metalheads who are returning home after the festival.

Then there's the whole "taking a shit" question. Incredibly some say they just dont take a shit for three days. I dont even like taking a shit at work (the people I work with are disgusting scum), and I've always lived in fear of having to suddenly take a shit at even one day festivals.

Yeah I know, I'm weak. I'm not metal enough. Go fuck yourself.

But it's like that Indonesian crust-punk scrubbing incident from earlier this year, where they chucked them in a river because they stank so bad. I actually thought the authorities were doing the right thing.

It sounds good on paper, but in reality 3 days of camping on top of dirt, humid/wet weather, and walking an entire football field length just to get from the stage to the tent, overall it is VERY draining and nearly impossible to catch all the bands. On the other hand - if you go with lots of friends it helps a lot. Personally, being stuck with thousands of strangers - many of whom prefer not to speak English, is not as fun as it sounds. Unless you are just a very easy going person who can stumble around wasted and meet people all day long for days straight. Personally that gets old after 24 hours. Also, the dollar is very weak to the Euro right now. Who the hell can afford it anymore? Also, more posers go every year, that is why it is so big. Not saying all who go are posers, but guaranteed more posers go every year and that is why it sells out. Stop kissing ass on Europe and start YOUR OWN Metal fest in your own town. Tired of hearing how "America sucks." You know, the only reason it sucks is because all the people who can afford to fly to Wacken are too fucking lazy to start their own Metal fest (or they just don't like Metal enough to try)

Stop kissing ass on Europe and start YOUR OWN Metal fest in your own town.

It's obvious metal is mainly a caucasian thing. We do not have enough caucasians here in America to support something that would draw 75,000 people. Here in Los Angeles, we used to have the greatest metal radio station in the U.S. called "KNAC". Today, there are absolutely no metal stations in L.A. at all. It takes paid advertising to support a radio station. We do not have a metal radio station because there are not be enough white metal-heads to listen to it. Latino radio stations thrive here because there are millions of listeners to the station. This is exactly why europe gets all the great festivals.

^^^^^Poser, GET THE FUCK OUT YOU HIPSTER!

..."Scott Ian (spoken word)"???

why did it sell out already? I dont see that many great bands on this???? wow....good for them, ill stay home and watch lesbian porn lol

Learn to take a shit without sitting down. Problem solved.

Also Glenhetfield you're full of shit. How can you blame foreign people for not speaking English? Maybe that would be the chance to make an effort yourself and learn something new, you lazy arse.

very very cool.

one of those 'metal is still alive' moments.

Wish the U.S. got an event like this.

Eskimo Callboy? are they serious? one of the worst bands of all times. shit!

Been there once in 2001. It is a must-see, at least you should go there once. This proves the music scene is very healthy nowadays, that we are the most loyal fans in the world.

...as well as Brutal Assault (2011), as well as ProgPower USA twice (2002 & 2008), and myself being from the USA (Miami, FL), I will be the first to say the trip to Wacken is worth it.

Is it draining, yes it is, but that is part of the experience, like a phoenix dying and being resurrected from the ashes stronger than ever, and god knows A LOT of us need something like that in our lives.

As for people not speaking english

..., you're in their country, meaning its their house and their rules. There is a huge # of people who actually speak English very well, and as long as your respectfu and patient. Plus it helps if you speak a 2nd language (for me its broken Spanish, but I get by fine).

So my suggestion: do it cuz it will be the experience of a lifetime.

That's about all.

on there are Rammstein and Ihsahn.
