[Child of Time]

I can only recall visiting one consert this year; Arch Enemy/Corporation 187/Cretoria/Eternal Lies (or whatever the last band was named, it sucked this <---------------------------------> much)

I also had tickets to Iron Maiden at Stockholm Stadium but sold them, as I would see the band at Roskilde anyway...
I missed Vintersorg in Skellefteå because I was about 2 months too young to be let in.

Definitely a funny concert year for me.
The comments I need to make is that Maiden should get decent opening acts and that Kreator, Dismember, The Haunted and Hypocrisy are brilliant live acts.

 

[Steve]

June - In Flames, Soilwork, and Chimaira

November - Deadwait, Mortician, and Krisiun

the second show was supposed to be deicide, hate eternal, krisiun, cattle decapitation, and deadwait, but deicide and CD didn't show up, then mortician played. I also had to leave before krisiun were done, and missed HE.

 

[†_Aragorth_†]

ahhh....just COB/Soilwork/Suidakra in May

 

[The Grand Wazoo]

Eeeeeveryone went to Dimmie,
Except meeee
Cos I was too late, and it was sold out!

 

[Arch]

Don't worry Wazoo, I didn't go see Dimmu either. I missed it because I had a midterm.



Have a koekje.

 

[Wolfman Von Jones]

I dont think you guys missed anything . Ive seen them twice and both times they sucked, but thats b/c I hate Dimmu . Once with Cannibal Corpse, Lamb of God, and The Haunted. The other with Cryptopsy and Krisiun or smth like that.

well, that seems to be the general opinion actually...
but at least in sweden they had norther and hypocrisy as support acts.

@Nick: Well I like them
For some reason
(Prolly cos they were my first metalband :'))
And I like the hate :') (even when its commercial and all that too bad)

@Delirious: NORTHER? Omg u_u, me too me too!
And Hypocrisy too! :-o
I wouldve gone if that had been the programme here..
Now I just waited to long

 

[†_Aragorth_†]

[stefan86]

fuck yeah, Hypocrisy should have headlined.
They obviously proved that with their performance.
