The Wacken Hot Tub (General Chat)

You MIGHT have a small chance at Easter. But I am not sure, nor is it a given fact!

For the rest of the line-up, it'll probably be Metal Battle bands.

Which reminds me, the finals of the German Metal Battle will take place at the Dong Open Air Festival in Neukirchen-Vluyn.

Oh yeah, metal battle bands too of course.

Thinking of a good and easy punch recipe for saturday

 

[dishayu]

yeah, abbath would be a way to good add for this not impressive line up.

How do you rate this years' lineup against last years' ? I think even though this year lacks a band as big as Iron Maiden, it's still overall better than 2016.

 

[dishayu]

No I have not, where can I get them?

I'm actually not sure if you can get that stuff online at all. Our "dealer" is one of our friend's girlfriend, who is from Nagaland (the home of Bhut Jolokia). She brings some along whenever she goes home. I tried it once.

To me last year was phenomenal. There were a lot of great black metal bands.

I think lineups ''awesomeness'' rating is different for everyone, depending on what metal style they like the most and how many of them are in the lineup

I'm kind of not proud of myself, I forgot my dirty gore-tex boots I was wearing at Wacken in a bag since I came back... So right now I'm washing Wacken's dirt from my boots 8 months later

Hmm... I really only remember watching Marduk, Borknagar and 1349 (that I didn't watch due to a conflicting show). What other big-name BM bands did I miss?

Yeah, of course. I'm sure there would be someone for whom last year was the best Wacken lineup ever.

Holy shit dude... That's gonna take some effort.

After Wacken 2015, my boots were so dirty I just chucked them in the trash before catching the flight back home. They had mud everywhere inside and outside, no way I'd have been able to clean them. This year was quite a bit more manageable.

I did a pre-cleaning at the hotel before my flight to take off a big part of the mud/dirt, but since those boots are part of my military kit I can't really throw them away

 

[agresionpower]

Yeah my thoughts exactly. And the best part is I guess a lot of them aren't even kids but like over 18 year olds...

don't people have serious things to do?

not for me.
I think this lineup is the worst in at least 3 years for me.

So, I looked it up. over here we call it a ghost pepper. I know about those, never had one though.
I think there's a dutch website where I can order them. But honestly I think it'll probably be to hot.

Yup. But ideal would of course be if they every year had wide variety of metal bands. Bunch of bands for everyone. But I understand that it's really hard.

Mine are still dirty They're waiting in my closet in a plastic bag. Tho I'm not really sure yet whether I'll take them this year or not.
