Sorry man

O yeah and you might all hate slipknot and whatever, but live it is fucking "ambiance" as we say here in Dutch... don't know the english word

ah well they suck anyway!

it provides some neat punching bags in the form of teenagers with red overalls.

I love punching those guys, it just makes me feel.... friendly.

i remember that usualy maggots are used as bait for fishing... put a steel hook right trough their bodys, and if that isnt painfull enough, they throw them in the water where either they drown to death or are eaten by some nasty fish. Is that enough inspiration how to treat "maggots" ? I guess orange jumpsuits attract the realy nasty big fish

NEW NAMES FOR GRASPOP



Some of these names had already been predicted by the visitors to our forum and some bands had already announced their participation on their website, but official confirmation hadn’t been given yet.

We went to a lot of trouble to lure ICED EARTH to Graspop. Official confirmation for Slipknot was also long in coming, but this doesn’t make us less proud to add the names below to our increasingly impressive bill :



SLIPKNOT, ICED EARTH, DIMMU BORGIR, MORBID ANGEL,

HYPOCRISY, PLEYMO, ILL NINO, CHIMAIRA, SEVEN WITCHES, KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, EPICA



This is what the programme for the three festival days looks like at the moment:

Friday 25 June : a.o. ANATHEMA, CIRCLE II CIRCLE, EPICA, EXODUS, HYPOCRISY, ICED EARTH, IN EXTREMO and WHITE LION.

Saturday 26 June : a.o. AGNOSTIC FRONT, ALICE COOPER, ANTHRAX, BACKFIRE, BLOOD FOR BLOOD, CRADLE OF FILTH, DISIPLINE, EVERGREY, MORBID ANGEL, MOTÖRHEAD, MY DYING BRIDE, , PLEYMO, SLAPSHOT, SLIPKNOT and QUEENSRYCHE.

Sunday 27 June : a.o. CHIMAIRA, CHILDREN OF BODOM, DEATH ANGEL, DIMMU BORGIR, DYING FETUS, , HATEBREED, ILL NINO, JUDAS PRIEST, KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, MALEVOLENT CREATION, LIFE OF AGONY, SAXON, SEVEN WITCHES, TESTAMENT and THERION.

--------------------------------------------------------

great bill, but WHAHAHAHAHAHA SLIPKNOT!! WHAHA

__________________

saturday owns. hehe

Since i can't open the graspop site, are we allowed to bring our own booze to the festival or camping?

__________________

Yep... but there's a limit ... I guess about 24 cans or something.. it's on your ticket or a paper with guidelines or something (last year it was)

__________________

Thats still a shitload of beer.. but its probably half empty when we get through the line..

ohwell...tnx

__________________

only on the camping, not in the festival field

__________________

last year they checked near the entrance, I had 8 cans in my backpack and they didn't see it, had two in my pants and one in my sweater too.

we had a tray in the car so we just walked back and forth, one time sanderinos and me got caught though, so they stole our beer and told us to buy it at the taps.

those where 'Maes' or something which really, really sucked. terrible beer...

so anyways, you can smuggle it in, if you're smart you'll do that, don't get caught though because the bastards steal your beer.

the camping sucked last year, loads of fags, I knew a bunch of guys who where on there, I'm not gonna go camping for sure, I'll prolly only be there on saturday, but I'm not sure yet, might wanna go 3 days, but I fucking hate camping, especially with bullshit people like the ones that go to festivals every 5 years and act like annoying cunts, so I have to kick their asses once more.

Lol @ Def...

Hm you must have had a lot of beer then A lot of folks near me (during the queue to enter the festival/camping first day) had a standard pack of cans (you know... like 24 cans in a low cardboard box). I myself had a couple of 8 in my backpack.

Hm I've seen some guys fighting last year @ marquee 2.. wasn't all that fun to watch but if you're going to kick ass, let me know anyways

__________________

*takes out most recent banknote*

three euro fifty, fuck me

__________________

hm, steal some from your mom, or take a loan you dont wanna miss anthrax!

__________________

ahahaha my gf wants to see alice cooper at graspop

__________________

I was pretty amused last year to be honest.

only because eric singer was on drums hahaha

__________________

alice cooper is a joke, but yeah that drumdude was way impressive.

school's out motherfuckers!

For your information:

The Rock Tribune Graspop contest is won by

COWBOYS & ALIENS (stonerrock), 2nd place InQuest (death/Grind), 3rd place Thurisaz (melodic black).

Although C&A is pretty cool for stonerrock.. Its not fit for a METALfest...

__________________

Yay, just got my ticket!

Def, how much euros do you take along for three days of food, booze and merch?

__________________

Just 1 day left waiting...

__________________

Yes. The weather forecast seems to be positive, luckily.

__________________

Yeah, it probbably won't be as sunny as I would like to be, but anything is better than that storm that is raging for 2 days now...

Every festival I go to seems to have bad weather

I really hope the storm ends...

Seems ok, except sunday (hope we get more luck).

__________________

Graspop was fucking great!

__________________

Yeah.

__________________

Yep!

__________________

how was slipknot?

__________________

Oh yes I have a question.

Is it actually normal that - of the bands I have seen from the first line (which are about 13 bands) - 80% of the guitarists plays with a Mesaboogie dual rectifier?

__________________

Its a populair amp

And slipknot was well....noisy

__________________

Haha, listened to them for the first time Shitnuts are stupid posers with no talent or creativity, just as I expected

__________________

duh...

I totally agree with Nomad. Dicksnot sucked even more then I expected.

Dual Recto's are the hype these days doesn't mean they're the best amps though.

Did anyone see Dillingers escape plan? Their sound sucked so much on Graspop.

And did anyone see Dimmu Borgir? It was a great gig, but they refused to do anything after the show...everyone was "we want more" for at least 10 minutes before it all turned to BOOOOOOOO!!!

__________________

I've got much pics of them on:
www.dikkie.be >> lomolog >> graspop

__________________

Dimmu Borgir = fat show.

But the same as with Hypocrisy, Children, ... time's up = time's up. No band could play extra's.

Slipknot I only watched one song, so I'd be front row for Cradle

As far as I could hear it & from being told: they played pretty tight for being with 9. Sorry if it's the trend to say they suck - but I'm not gonna say it.

And Dillinger Escape Plan was fucking great (front row again ), pretty 'active' show. During the next gig in that marquee the singer was standing just behind us... what a huge arms he has must work out twice a day or something
