Wacken Turned Shit In 2005!

[delicatedeath]

Well... I guess it was always on the cards. The last good Wacken was in 2004. I, as well as another gazillion people I'm sure, will not be attending Wacken next year as it's getting worse every year. Time to find something better to do in the summer. Anyone else feel the same?

well, unfortunatly I haven't been in Wacken before 2005, but I guess I would agee anyways. And this year was REALLY bad I think. Not sure about going next year. I only went for the forum people and it kinda was a flop...

Anything else? Take the saved money and visit more smaller festivals

I had a great time in 02, 03 and 04.

05 was the first I started feeling I might not return, and after 06 I was confident I wouldn't.

I'm going, (as well as in 2010, but only 'cause I promised LC to go)

But.... it is not what it used to be.

yeah that's what we'll probably be doing

I went 02 - 05 and then I spotted things staring to change in '05. I had a ticket for 08 but sold it and went to a smaller festival instead (Day Of Darkness in Ireland) had a much better time, better bands, better crowd.

I had fun while it lasted but it's changed too much for me. Too commercial nowadays.

 

[Deeno]

I won't be there next year , too busy and too commercial .
Shame as there are always some great bands , but will be looking at probably 2 smaller festivals .
Got a bad feeling over next years line-up too!!!

but you do not have to pay 130 eu for a ticket
I think if you would have it might be different

 

[Lady_Wolf]

So you guys just all come to Obscene Extreme next year

Too many Grindbands, that gets boring... I'd miss the mixture known from Wacken. There's bands for everyones taste and that's what makes it so big, I think. Been in Wacken since '97, and, yes... it HAS changed. But I still like it. Besides, OEF would be too expensive for me, more than Wacken. And I won't get holidays in that time anyways, nor after WOA, so Party.San and Summerbreeze OA are out. Wacken is and has been my one and only Open Air since then and I'd miss somethin...

WOA 2005 was shitty, but only becuase of the fuckin rain, for which the organisers can't be blamed. Besides, 2007 was next to 2004 my best Wacken ever, so.... it's also a personal thing, how one experiences an event. This year was also great, cannot complain!

that is like saying death feast open air is boring because of all the death metal bands

No, it isn't. Only I prefer Death over Grind, and tend to get bored if I listen to it for a long time. A pure Death Metal Festival like Party.San would be way cooler, but I can't go there. That's it.

It seems the only great consistent band in the line-up is Mambo Kurt. He never fails to put on a good show.
