hell bent for metal

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.
