Hi, LooseCannon!!

Are you a first timer? Well, I was it last year, and this forum was really useful for me. What I can tell you is that you'll have a fucking nice time there, and also that you'll be back in 2004 Greetings!

After one year, there are no other festival beating Wacken, that is for sure.

Though I want to go see other festivals like Wave-Gotik and M'era Luna but at least Wacken, there will be many visits there after this year

 

[Sodomy&Lust]

Yes! I've missed 12 Wackens, but I won't miss anymore!!

 

[Carpathian_Wolf]

And that goes for me too sodomy! i wont miss another one!

@ LooseCannon
if at all possible you should camp at Wacken ....last year i was in a hotel in Hamburg (about 50 mins drive away) and it was no where near as much fun .......next year i will camp for sure like i did the first time i was there
ok so being able to take a shower , use a nice clean toilet and sleep on a real bed was very nice ..........but not really very "metal" hahaha .....also it is a very long day if you dont have a tent/beer to go back to

Well I would go for a nice bed, clean shower and so on

 

[^witchfinder^]

LOL nah Supercharger that aint very "metal" now is it
camping at Wacken rules "as long as it isnt raining and muddy"

 

[Supercharger]

this year it was witchfinder..damn I hate rain and mud..they were both in good supply

 

[^witchfinder^]

LOL i know .......but i went back to my lovely warm clean hotel on the reeperbahn in Hamburg (actuallly we had a tent there in Wacken too) ....ok so it wasnt as much fun but at least i was dry and clean and comfy
but i will be camping next year for sure

 

[Supercharger]

The Reeperbahn?..that's the red lightdistrict of Hamburg isn't it ?

 

[^witchfinder^]

oh yeah
if you have not been yet you should try and go sometime St Pauli rules its a true 24 hour place i loved it there and miss it v much if you go check out the Clokhard (i think its called) a dark n dirty metal bar above a sex shop (if i remember right)

 

[^witchfinder^]

only bad thing about staying in a hotel there was that we didnt get back untill around 4:30am
cant wait for Wacken 2003 hope we find out some more bands in the next few weeks

re

Bands for next year,
Darkthrone [dont think its going to happen though]
Desaster
Destroyer 666
Morbid Angel
Axis Of Advance
Sodom
Dissection [ if John And Faust are out of prison in time ]
And Manowar for headliners
In regards the prices for beer etc I found them to be ok,
In a supermarket in Frankfurt airport I bought cigarettes and four cans of Warsteiner and it came to 8 euros
In Dublin in the nearest offlicence four warsteiners alone comes to nearly 10 euros so compared to that everything in Germany is cheap,
Seeing as Ireland is one of the most expencive countrys in Europe now I found the prices even at Wacken to be reasonable,
