By missing out on the last Wacken trip, I have to admit I was a bit shirty. However, like an over-excited male dog, it can be fixed. It didn’t really take Kay and Dave long to persuade me to throw my name in for next year’s trip, and I’m pretty happy I’ve decided to go. It will take a miracle to stop me this time, and with it being the 20th Anniversary I can’t help but think I’ve got an awesome year to start. The big question is, who is gonna show? Iron Maiden were a huge act, being gods in Europe, but it’s that little tidbit that has me thinking, although I have my ideal bands to play, that may not line up with the European fanbase, so, who is big in Europe?

To be honest, I have very little idea, having never been, so I’m going to have a couple of potshots based on releases. Motorhead and AC/DC are both releasing material this year, as is Metallica. Although Metallica could be epic(depending on new cd and god damn it better be good), Motorhead and AC/DC are monsters. AC/DC rarely set foot in Oz anymore so depending on which leg of the world tour they are on, it might line up nicely. Motorhead are just Motorhead. Lemmy is God, that’s all I will say on the matter. Of course, this is wishful thinking, I might make some more educated guesses later on, but with beer on the brain and metal in my heart, its just an awesome time to be thinking about this kinda stuff \m/

For anyone who would doubt I will make it all the way next year, I bet you one beer. Sign a comment, when I get back, you owe me a beer, if I don’t go, my shout. I’ll honour all drinks. Consider the gauntlet laid down.
