[Revolution Calling]

I'm seeing them at Wacken Open Air festival (in addition to Atheist, who also just reuinted).

Life is good.

 

[Astral Poetry]

Ehhh, seeing them now would take away from the magic of the older stuff, though I wish it wouldn't

 

[Steve]

Tickets to see them in NYC were $175... one hundred and seventy five fucking dollars... So I didn't even bother.

 

[Barista_Dot]

Yeah, It would have been nice to see them back in the day....regardless....Im looking forward to seeing "Ye Entrancemperium" live. And regarding ticket prices.....that seriously is fucking terrible.....paying over 20 bucks for a show is pretty nuts....unless its radiohead....goddamn I need to see them.

Id pay over 20 to see Kayo Dot....but only if they played to 57 minute version of ___On Limpid Form.

 

[xfer]

you're kidding. 175 bucks for emperor? was it a fest or something?

 

[avi]

dudes, Emperor is not, was not and will never be a good live band. you have all been supremely duped.

 

[Barista_Dot]

Its free for me...so regardless, Ill enjoy myself.

More perhaps, know that although it was not the best of shows, I didn't pay a goddamn cent.

Hi btw. : )

 

[Astral Poetry]

Emp$ror

yeah, i know it doesnt work but they dont have a fucking 's' in the name

 

[Barista_Dot]

Emp$ror

yeah, i know it doesnt work but they dont have a fucking 's' in the name

Yeah, it does seem ridiculous....but here is too hoping that they dont wear their own fucking t shirts like in the DVD...and they play all of "In the Nightside Eclipse" and "Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk"

 

[SkolOfensru]

How come are the tickets THAT expensive ?
It's not like they are a huge band...

 

[Josschk]

Yeah, it's weird, only 3 members in the band.

 

[mindspell]

Emperor really sucks live dudes. Listen to your records...

 

[FalseTodd]

yeah they really are not very good

 

[SkolOfensru]

Yeah, it's weird, only 3 members in the band.

When I said they were not huge I was talking about success, but it's true too

 

[Revolution Calling]

I don't really care if they're good or not... the mere fact that I'll get to see them kicks a fair amount of ass. And besides, even if they do prove disappointing I still have two days worth of other kickass bands to make up for it. Ahh, Wacken...

 

[Barista_Dot]

SO I went, and honestly they weren't the best live band....but they opened with "Into the Infinity of Thoughts" and closed with "I am the Black Wizards" and my favorite, "Ye Entranceprium". Insahn had silly shoes on....and samoth wasnt there for visa problems.

and the keyboardist was kind of lame....and goofy.

Best part though, for the encore Insahn unearthed the might shoulder pauldrons for some shreddin. That was neat...in a corny way.

Yeah, and the t shirts were 30 bucks. : [

I somehow got to go to all the bars and even the very neat and exclusive VIP room....although I had nothing to drink...because I had to drive home, and quite frankly I dont drink.

Anyways....not really worth the 70 bucks, but again, I didnt pay a cent.

Alright show...good have been better.

 

[azal]

cool emperor reunion without samoth.

 

[chupe666]

i'd have paid an extra $10 to have not seen Peccatum the first time

 

[avi]

hahah eric

Peccatum was so ridiculous, but I'm actually kind of glad I got to see them and bear witness to just how bad it was.
