I was looking forward to this gig for a long time. It was rescheduled from the March gig . The place was almost sold out. I don't know if it really was sold out but it was packed. Opening was Chinchilla (what a terrible name..)a Stuttgart based German power metal band. They played typical...

So I guess the Hardenberg gig is cancelled also? It is still mentioned on the Podium Hardenberg website. I already sent them a mail about it a short while ago. I am sure they will sent me an answer.

I am going to the Hardenberg gig and I want as many new songs as possible. I mean,they play the old classics anyway! But since this gig is being rescheduled I am sure we get the LIONHEART set...at least I hope so!

I have seen ANGELWITCH back in 1986 at the Dynamol Open Air festival in Eindhoven. It was on the parkinglot in front of the Dynamo Club. I think it must have been the only dutch gig they ever did. But I may be wrong on this. A friend of mine was able to see them last year in Zottegem,Belgium...

First of all I would like to say that Brainstorm is a brilliant band.One of the better metalbands I have heard in the last years.Their songs are very well arranged,the vocals are incredible and the drums are good also. Than when it comes to the guitarparts I must say the riffs and twinsolo's are...

Hey 7th Fallen Angel...was it actually busy in Hardenberg?I mean were there quite a number of people there? I could have asked this in dutch aswell but that does not seem very appropriate on an international board. Tee;just wondering...did Nevermore ever play in Croatia anyway?Where did you...

The big Yetti;the bands you mentioned are exceptions.Most of the use of 7 strings is in the nu segment.You can't deny that Nevermore changed their sound with DHIADW.I am not saying it is NU metal but it definitely has elements.Take the opening riff of "Narcosynthesis" or a lot of the rhythms on...

Posion God;I didn't say Nevermore is totally NU.However they surely did incorporate some nu elements in their sound.Esp.their 7 string use and their guitarsound is very nu'ish.

They skipped 2 songs and didn't play "Sea of possibilities". I have to make a correction,one of the guitarplayers from Arch Enemy was using a Peavey,the other was using a Marshall.Still it was a much better guitarsound than Nevermore had,unfortunate.

About 1000 metalheads showed up for this bill last tuesday. I am not too familiar with Arch Enemy.I have heard their records but they never did much for me.I can hear the quality though.The crowdreaction on Arch Enemy was quite good though.What I like about the band is that they had a classic...

The last time when I saw Nevermore I don't think Curran was really treated as an equal bandmember.He was only supposed to help out Jeff with his guitarwork but that's it.I think he is totally right to leave the band if he doesn't get a chance to do any input into the band.But I can understand...

I did see Sanctuary at the 1988 Aardschokday in Zwolle,Holland.They killed..I spoke to Warrel about it and he still remembered that gig.That was cool. Sanctuary ruled.Too bad they canceled their tour in 1990 in Europe.

Or get the very first album,or "In memory".That's a great mini CD also.Only 5 tracks but they rule.

Tim is married now and is not playing in a band anymore.he doesn't want to tour for that reason.At least that's what Warrel said in an interview a while ago...

Cool review.Since I talked to Warrel and Jim before the HOB/LA sept.10th show I can relate to some of the things you mentioned.I didn't get the impression they are too happy with Curran.I mean he is with them touring for about almost a year and they still don't know what's up with him.I just...
