thanks! for example, I love progressive Metal (and other types) but it is not popular, so the WOA organizers don't book those bands. But they are much more Metal than BFMV.

yea...
it's kinda funny to me though... it probably costs a lot more to book BFMV than like Heidevolk :rolleyes:

No don't feel that way, I think we all see it the same way, I think we all agree for the most part. You are making very good points.

well thank you then... it's just so frustrating... when I came home from 'Hell over Deathmarschen' that one evening, being really annoyed of what I've seen at the only metalevent in town, my mum started mocking on me. I told her how disappointed I was, that the bands weren't even metal and like one person has actually been headbanging, all the others have been 'dancing' on the music..
She told me I was too serious about my music and that I should start having fun with the people whatever music is playing. I normally do that, so I explained that the problem was that I was expecting to see a metalevent and that they made that out of it under the name of metal and worst of all, everybody seemed to be fine with it... she told me I was childish about my music and that when I had 'grown up' I would be laughing about my ideas that days... :(

And I agree with what is being said, I don't mind so much if a band I don't care for is on the billing. There's more than enough other bands to see instead, or time for a trip to the Metal Market or beer stand. The bad part is it draws a new and not so good crowd to Wacken, a different atmosphere. It was better in 2003 for sure.

well I never said they can't put out good news, but they usually don't
yea, the point is also that those good news are normally that good researched because they are as underground as the music. But anything in the big news that people are actually watching, is going crazy. People don't have an idea and the only way to get one is listening to others. If now emokids are walking around or the news, telling Tokio Hotel was Metal, people are believing it.
Why do you think, LW, that that one girl was running up to you screaming you were a Goth?
gonna put some food in my hair now :D
wtf? :D
