Yeah, I went. Pretty decent weekend overall. For me, there weren't any outstanding performances this time around, and there was a lot of crap on the unsigned stage. But there were strong showings from Rage, Season's End, Ensiferum and Turisas. Edguy were below par, but it was nice to see Strat heading back to form after their dreadful showing at Koko.
I couldn't make BOA, despite being a rock soc member, because of no funds! Not to worry, I'm determined to be at the indoor, even if it is the day after Blind Guardian. Brainstorm are just to awesome a live band to be missed!
With the exception of Primal Fear, Brainstorm and prehaps (and a drunked push) Vanden, I honestly havn't been at all impressed by this lineup. My Dying Bride???
