    Sweden Rock Festival w/Halford

    I just followed the link... That looks dreadful. Why would anyone put themselves through that sort of hell? Status Quo? Are you over 50 or something? :) Sorry to be rude but Wacken wins hands down.

    Hail Wacken!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hi Kanninne, The one way flight from Lubeck to London Stanstead is about 50 pounds sterling (about 82 euros). This will change depending on time of year, avalability and demand. They fly twice a day. Try: http://www.ryanair.com/ for booking info etc. As for getting there and back I think my...

    Hail Wacken!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I'm making the same journey, but not using Hamburg airport. The cheapest flights are with low-cost carriers like Ryanair who have two flights a day between London Stanstead and Lubeck airport. Lubeck is about twice as far from Wacken as Hamburg, but we just hired a car to get backwards and...

    Slammin'

    Haha I don't go that crazy. I always feel proud of how much respect metal people show each other. After letting off a little steam bashing a load of strangers brains in a pit, everyone always grins/shakes hands/has a chat and a beer. Picking people off the floor is part of that - We want more...

    Why was there so little moshing at Wacken last year? OK so it got a little nuts down the front of bands like Napalm Death and Cryptopsy, but it seemed like everyone was shy or something. There wasn't even much headbanging for some bands - tough for a pit "whore" like myself. Two theories...

    Legal german drinking age?

    The beer was so cheap last year it was dangerous... I was at the festival with the rest of my metal band, and we wondered down to the festival area every day with our pockets bulging with beer. We had to down four cans at 10.00 in the morning because they wouldn't let us take it in. Pop out...

    Anyone here play in a band?

    Just curious. And indulging in a subtle act of self promotion while I'm about it ;) I play in the UK based Electrickery: http://www.electrickery.fsnet.co.uk/ We like to think of ourselves as like At the Gates meets Pantera, in a Children of Bodom and Meshuggah induced nightmare! Go...

    Anyone from the UK?

    Cheers for the concern, we need all the sympathy we can get! I'll be there at Wacken this year, no fear. I have a very busy life, but it was still easily the highlight of last year for me. I had no idea that there were so many metalheads in the world. It was like discovering a long lost...

    Anyone from the UK?

    Well it is in Manchester. Metal died a death in the UK in general with the advent of grunge - Nirvana have much to answer for. Nowadays it's all kiddies with their pop/dance music (such as Korn and the Deftones etc.) and their baggy trousered punk nonsense. Maybe it's because I'm an old...

    Bands for 2002

    The Mighty Mesh Meshuggah!!!! I found no Mesh merchandise last year, are they not popular out there or something? I believe they have absolutely no equals in their field, and would love to hear them steamrollering the audience at Wacken. My favourite bands in 2001 were Cryptopsy and...

    The best band in Wacken

    COB surely Last year there were so many Children of Bodom T-shirts about, it was almost inevitable that they join the bill this year. I can't wait! Although my favourite band is Meshuggah, these guys come a close second, and they'll probably never play in the UK, the music scene is so...

    Anyone from the UK?

    Yep From Manchester. Where we are struggling to hold together anything resembling a "scene"
