yeah wacken will be cool... i'll be tehre too...
but aa will only play one damn hour...

AA will be fucking great hehe....but, w're in cob fan camp hehe
 
We are lucky enough to get there early in the morning so we can set up tent and start drinking, that way we can be drunk enough to enjoy Scorpions the first night.
Tom and I are trying to be part of the viking show during the AA appearance. We don't look too viking but we can sing along and do polka dance moves.
 
Hopefully I'll pop my Wacken cherry in 2008, provided the lineup is stellar (shouldn't be hard.. it IS Wacken afterall..).

Next year will be Prog Power, and maybe BW+BK 6 Pack- US metal festivals before heading overseas for the good ones.

2008?, by then the festival might be over. I don't know if you've noticed but the line up has been getting weaker and weaker from year to year
 
In Berlin: new German History Museum, haven't been there, bt I think it's going to be more german history and less holocaust. When it comes to bars etc. there are a bunch of metal/alternatie etc. ones, my fav being White Thrash Fast Food (serves the best burgers in town), then try the Rock & Wikinger Bar, and maybe the other places like K17, Knaack, Last Cathedral. Areasto go to: Kreuzberg, Friedrichshain and Mitte.

bump,

anybody else coming besides a couple of native euro floridian rednecks here and five swedish meatball rednecks there?

slowly getting aroused here over euro trip, Any recommendations on some lesser know / interesting places to visit in Berlin, Prague and Stockholm (ex. metal bars, rock museums, whore museums, medival rock museums, WWII meseums, etc.)

I'm going again, just another Swede though ;)
5th time in a row, though I'll miss it next year due to other travel arrangements.

For metal places and stuff, check out:

In Stockholm (it's been a few years since I lived there though) I'd say the best place to go is Pub Anchor. They have some sort of theme nights sometimes though, which might suck.
Usually no admittance, fairly cheap beers (buy the 4 for a 100 if they still got it) and usually good music on.
You want the really cheap beer and fairly good music, go to Kelly's, I used to live there (more or less).

You interested in good (but sort of expensive) beer places that has nothing to do with metal?

In Prague I must recommend "Hells Bells", though I think it's a bit hard to find for the first time visitor.

Since I'm a huge beer nerd and been to Prague twice on only-beer-trips I can recommend several pub breweries and great beer hang outs if you want.
Needless to say, here the beer is not that expensive if you go to the right places.
In Prague try and visit the "mideval armour and weapon shop" close to the astronomical clock, nice stuff. I bought a big ass axe to take home with me last time.
Also close to the clock there's a "sex machine museum", I never went though...

Come chill with us at the Belgian redneck tents.
Due to rising price in gas and to many of my comrades being unemployed bumps for the past few years, we will be departing by the overnight train to Hamburg with connection to some other town and a bus to Wacken.

Come hang out with us ... I think the first night (Thursday) we will probably be at the Jagermeister stand doing shots.

You going there Thursday or before that?

I'll arrive Wednesday afternoon by car if I don't get lost :p
First three years I went by bus and last year by plane to Hamburg and then by car with a friend, so will be interesting to drive by myself ;)

No problem, glad to be of help if I can.
Let me know if you need any more info on Sweden or Prague.


Now I just hope that I can stay sober enough to watch AA at Wacken.
Never missed them before, even though in 2004 I had to go to sleep and have my friends wake me up in time so I wouldn't keep drinking :rolleyes:
Should be the 7th time I get to see them live :)
