BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE - FINALLY IN WACKEN!!!

[zombiecag]

for me its not 99 euros its £240

£15 more than me and my mate paid for ours.. s'pose that's what we get for being British eh?

Gotta say, if the BFMV guys (band and/or management) looked at this forum, they'd probably pull out..
Sure, it's a great opportunity for them to be heard by a new audience and not just teenagers in England, but they are going to get bottled. Hard.

All I can really say is that if I do end up watching them, I wont be throwing anything, but I think I'll just go to another stage instead..
At the end of the day, if you know you don't like BFMV, just go to another stage and see a band you may have never heard before! Or, if you're missing the point of such festivals and will only watch bands you know, go and get some food and beer, meet some new people and enjoy the festival!

Saying that.. what stage are they gonna play??
They're not exactly fit for the True Stage and sure as hell aren't suitable for the Black Stage... Unless they're good at dodging spiked clubs from the Immortal fans

crap isnt it some guy who lives in germany pays just over 70 quid for it and we have to dish out over 200 ah well thank god we dont live in america!

It is expensive, but it's still worth it. Was worth it, atleast.

I'd imagine that Bullet For My Valentine are going to play and get bottled off of one of the two main stages, judging from their logo. There's no way that they'd have such a large, centred logo if they're going to be put on the Party Stage.

This is the point of Wacken fans complaining. It's bad enough that Soulfly and Machine Head have gone down well previously, both just about credible enough for Wacken; but if BMFV are well received then it might as well be a fucking death sentence for the festival. The organisers announced after last year's festival that they wanted to book more popular, modern bands like Trivium, and unless a large enough amount of Wacken goers complain, then soon the festival will not be worth attending.

Wouldn't be suprised if we had Trivium confirmed in the coming months That'd be piss annoying.

As zombie_cag and Ganey have pointed out its costin' us Brits £240 (see you on the bus dudes ), and I ent paying to go to Germany to see bands I can see in Britain any day of the week.......

 

[zombiecag]

Lol, Dude, I told you, we're going to germany to see Blind Guardian, Immortal, Grave Digger, Rage, Sodom, etc..

You know we'll be too drunk to notice BFMV onstage anyway

First of all you're getting to see loads of bands you'd never see at a festival in the UK, or some bands even in the UK at all.

Secondly..£240? Take a plane.

 

[Spindelta]

True on both counts, but the problem with BfmV is not that us Brits try to ignore them in England, let alone Germany; it's that their booking apparently represents a tacit failure of the organisers to understand metal. And this is why I find the problem irreconcilable. Perhaps it is misjudgment on my part to presume that I was reading from the same hymn sheet as the Wacken organisers, but at least that is a misjudgment shared by a few hundred others.

For a band like Bullet to have been booked and the organisers not to have expected so many people to have been insulted, can only be considered short-sighted at best. Fair enough, some people will enjoy the band, many more won't care if they play or not, maybe even a majority. But surely a large proportion of Wacken-goers are going to be offended by the inclusion of such an overtly market-pandering act.

erm firstly.. wed have to get to london.. as i doubt thered be many flights from exeter... which would cost like £50, then theres the flight.. then getting to izhoe in germany.. for like 4 16 year olds and 2 other guys to then find each other at the other end would be a pain...

I have not been in WOA (unfortunately my country is far away and would be pretty expensive to go there).
Anyway, it is the "METAL" fest for excelence, any true metal-head dreams to be there, a lot of great bands playing great metal, what else could people ask for?
And suddenly, this year (that i´m doing almost an impossible thing trying to go there), i know that an emo band will be there, that´s just shocking, might be that in some years WOA will be nothing more than another MTV-emo fest full of children with "those sad feelings" and all that stupidity, i think it´s a very bad idea and lot of people will leave it just because of it.
Also, i guess there will be a lot of trouble between the metal-heads and the emo-kids

Oh gus i relly hope MCR are confirmed. they should actualy get some good bands at wacken this year, instead of all this screaming, loud, satanic stuff.
