The Holy Elixir of Life <---- ROFL!!!

yeah that's the reason it's going to take two days...

Hey man i would die for the chance to go!! But sadly i can't afford it this year!! Fucking Canada so far from any kind of live metal acts, fucking hip-hop rap loveing soft rock praising country for the weak little dicks who can't take heavey music!!!

haha, well, save up for next year then, who knows!

I'm planning a trip to australia next year to check out their grindshit and sorts and meet some friends, but I'm probably just going to see wacken too if it'll fit in the schedule....

hey guys,

so far i don't think I've seen any german post in this thread...
anyway, this year will be my 8th Wacken so if anyone has any questions

__________________

So, you haven't seen any German metalhead in this thread so far..... try another look!!!! I also made a post here......
But this is only my 2nd Woa till now.... :-(((
But i don't give a shit !!!
WOA RULZ!!!!! it doesn't matter what any magazine writes about it (FUCK HAMMER!!!!!!!! FUCK ROCKHARD!!!!!!).
See you in Wacken!

Auf Bald!
E§ lebe der T°D

yeah i'm also one of the guys thinkin that RockHard wusses shall die, die and die some more
i think i have enough experience with WOA to say it wasn't worse than the last years, i even think it gets better from year to year. and if u look at this year's lineup...man i really feel sorry for RH

__________________

don't trust the magazine's haha most of them are FULL of shit

anyways, it'll be great to meet some of you fucks over there!

Yeah, the billing is great!!!

Vader, Nile, ENT,
For most RH readers: Iced earth, Stratovarious tc.....

That are great bands (more or less :-))
Do you also wanna see Die Apokalyptischen Reiter @ Buganeer ????

well necro, DAR are not the main reason to go to wacken, but sure they are worthy of my attention
main reasons to be sure to go there this year for me are:
Annihilator, Dark Angel, In Flames, Malvolent Creation, Nile, Slayer, Soilwork and VADER...heck there are too many bands i wanna see...

Def I seriously never heard of those bands exept for biohazard ( ) and dropkick murphys....

But back to wacken : I coming for Iced Earth, Nile, Thyrfing, Ancient Rites, The Crown, In Flames, Vader, DAR, Malevolant Creation and many more!

I have a question for you Buganeer:

How does it work when you get there? When will you be able to get in and stuff?

__________________

lol, some of those bands rule, metalcore/hardcore one's. some of them blow.

I'm coming to wacken for the same band, but I'm sure we're not taking those busses, I'll keep you updated

@ sanderinos: depends where you wanna go, the camping ground, or the festival area?
the camping ground: i kinda believe it opens when the guard guys feel like opening it sometimes the officials say: "we'll open it wednesday, 16pm" so we drive there wednesday morning and arrive at 16pm but the camping area is already heavily crowded and some1 tells us "it opened at 8am". this is kinda gambling, but waiting in a huge care queue in Wacken if you arrive too early is sure fun

festival area: i think you are allowed there earlier than thursday, but anyways i never set a foot there before thursday afternoon. too much to do on the camp site...er like tents..beer..err..beer and some more beer
well you have to change your ticket for the festival ribbon there and then thursday 16 or 17 pm it starts with the thursday lineup, so you are allowed somewhat round 14pm to enter the main festival area. i noticed that they will open a small bureau/museum thingie in wacken itself and that you'll be able to get your ribbons and info there too, the small box on the festival area where you usually get your ribbons is stuff overcrowded

__________________

I'll be there too Though I'm also German, it'll be my fist Wacken.........the Line Up ist fucking amazing................an I live like 1 or 2 hours max away from Wackan
....... kinda perfect
I can hardly wait

Thanks Buganeer-dude! but what are those ribbons by the way? so at what time do you think I should arrive at the site? And last but not least: Youre avatar rules!

__________________

@ chemical: u lucky bastard

@sanderinos: those wrist ribbon thingies u get on festivals..at least at every german festival i've been to. you have to exchange your ticket for that ribbon and then u're allowed to enter the festival area.
and i think wednesday is the best day to arrive. you can get one of the camp sites not like 30mins away from the festival area and u have all time to get up your tent and get drunk already

hehe and actually i don't like animated avatars too much, but that 'mighty-viking-metal-worm' is jus too cool

__________________

omg i just noticed Lotto King Karl will play in wacken!! arghll..i think only the germans know him, but that is good he might go with the synonym "dumbestfreakinsickoalive" for every metalhead...this is unbelievable! catastrophy! guys bring some foul eggs n tomatoes with you, this freak should be blown off stage right when he enters it...otherwise they might make Wacken the biggest pop-slime-shit festival of the world if that guy is survivin on stage for more than 2 minutes...argh...

__________________

I think it's the first time i visit the tour&concert-area!!!

Hopefully i'll be there, too. If there's not to much university-stuff to do. But i think I've got holidays!!!

I saw that with Lotto King Karl.
We'll do that as we did it with Kim from "Echt" on the 1st-may-festival in Recklinghausen some years ago. Some punks threw cans, vegetables, and bottles. One bottle strifed his neck and he bleed like hell.

__________________

I never heard of this King Karl dude.... what is it? But throwing shit is allways great fun!

__________________

good u never heard of him, otherwise i'd to send the metal inquisition

basically LKK (Lotto King Karl) is a complete looser (imho) famous for absolutely brainless "Ballermann" music. the only audience he usually gets are drunken, stupid, fat, err dumb n brainless wankers. he's got absolutely nothing to do with metal music and so i don't understand at all why he is being invited to Wacken...

well best to ignore him or throw pointy things at him

Look and cry, that he comes to Wacken.

__________________

Last year was still Ozzfest, that was the last Ozzfest in holland ever because of the fires and stuff hahah.

Well, metalllica I would like to see when it was 2 yaers ago/... opeth I don't give a fuck about and Nile I am extremely disappointed about.... Fields of Rock sucks major ass... No Offence Def!

Holy Shit, the festival really kicked some major ass, had the time of my life, although i had some trouble with the fact that showerpoints and waterpoints where hard to find because there where only 2 point so far i know. (which i think should be way more for the amount of people that showed up)

The bands who came on the festival where all very good, I had a great time during the performance of Thyrfing, Ancient Rites, Dark Funeral, Carpathian Forest, and so on. Next year i will defenatly go again, You can already see some pics on the site of wacken (just click here)

I just hope one thing, that next time the wacken people will put us next to better and more intelligent people than the people who where standing next to us this year, those bastards lighted an complete couch on fire, and then putted on everything they could find and that small fire turned out into a huge fucking fire with smoke coming off, holy shit... ... was glad the fire brigade came to put out the fire.. Stupid Timmay's!!!!!

__________________

yeah, wacken did rule this year, for me Nile pissed on everyone, they were really on form. Dismember also put on excellent show, I expected more of slayer though.....

__________________

It was fucking awesome! The guy from Thyrfing spew (sp) blood on me, Carpathian Forest puked on the stage, ancient rites was great and In Flames are the biggest whores I ever saw! I showered for 20 minutes and still I found dirt!!!!

Next year, oh yeah!!!!

__________________

hey sanderinos, i also spitted in your face when you where a sleep, but haven't heard about that from you... darn ijsselsteiners, you give them a finger and they take the hole arm for crying out loud hahahahaha


But seriously now, i have to totaly agree with sanderinos, it just Kicked Ass,,, Thyrfing gave away a incredible concert, and the croud was just great at the ancient Rites performance(exept for some italian asshole who thought he had to show a flag.... RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY FACE... Bastard) but anyway.... festival was great!!!
