I doubt that you'll ever hear from those people. You know how it goes. Lots of forum traffic before the show and none after.
is that so?
well, then let me give you a wee little report on the show.
This is also aimed at Belgar, for expressing a wish to see somewhat of a report on these shows.
The first one, held at Grandrokk, was incredibly crowded. There was sweat
literally leaking from the ceiling (i´m not making that up). Apparently 167 paying visitors (in comparison; 112 reported to have gone to see Mastodon, whatever that is) which is pretty damn good, considering this is Iceland and all
The atmosphere was spleeendid. Three bands supporting them, all rather diverse but it ran smoothly nonetheless. Amon Amarth played a thight show, the sound was nice and rough. Oh yeah, the sound was nice at Grandrokk.
Then the next day, the show was held at Tónlistarþróunarmiðstöðin. Also three bands playing there, and some 144 paying visitors. I don´t really know what Amon Amarth's show was like at that second gig, because i only went to see the first band play and so left long before Amon Amarth got on stage.
There´s quite a bunch of people that seem to be very content with Amon Amarth's show, a lot of people that had a really good time.
I don´t know what else i can say. I liked the show. Aman Amarth were mighty fine.. but i must admit that i prefer the two icelandic bands that opened each gig.. but as i said, that´s just me
Anyway, i´m sure there´s someone out there who can describe the whole thing better than me. I didn´t even notice whether either show was being filmed.. i noticed some digital cameras.. but i wasn´t really paying attention to it, and so wouldn´t know who had 'em, might have just been some zealous icelandic fans trying to catch the moment on film.
