These are the bands myself and Stonewall will be seeing at Graspop Metal Meeting in Belgium on June 24th, 25th and 26th!

I was just waiting until we were certain we were going until I mentioned anything. Plane tickets picked up yesterday, festival tickets paid for and have been sent out to me apparently, and my passport will be here in two weeks-ish, so I guess it is now official. We are going.

FUCKING. METAL. ​

 

[phlogiston]

Sounds boring, stupid and a total waste of time. I'm glad I won't be there. GLAD I say!

 

[Stonewall]

Yup, this is going to be good.

 

[Sydo]

FUCKING. METAL.

Holy shit that's awesome! What a lineup.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

I know. That was the clencher for me. So many bands I really like, most of which I will never get to see in Australia. And more to come!

 

[Sydo]

It’s just a shame that Iron Maiden will cancel when find out a couple Aussies will be in attendance. Oh well.. I suppose Dream Theater, Dio, Nevermore and Gravedigger will make up for the loss.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Sshh!

 

[Spiff]

Gravedigger, if he catches you you're through!

 

[Blitzkrieg]

S'all good.

 

[Icarus]

Iron Maiden
Dio
Dream Theater
Nevermore
Accept
Metal Church
Nuclear Assault

Thats about all id see. The rest are pretty poo imo

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Well you are wrong.

 

[Bucko]

You are joking what a line up ...........surely you will die a happy man now Blitzy

 

[Blitzkrieg]

I shall. It will take months to wipe the smile from my face, and the boner from my pants. I can't wait to hear the rest of the lineup.

I have been making an effort to listen to some of the bands on there that I haven't really heard of. I am not familiar with Nuclear Assault Iccy, what shall I chase up for download to check em out? And Spawno, can you recommend me some Behemoth?

 

[Bucko]

All I can say is enjoy man......................

 

[Goreripper]

Madball is not a metal band.

 

[KoichCPA]

Madball has a really fat mexican bassist

He is mega fat

 

[spawn]

Behemoth isnt all THAT good Blitzy, I have been told their live shows absolutely DESTROY though, so catch a bit of them if you can, they are really technical death metal. Check out the Demigod and Zos Kia Cultis albums.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

I believe Madball have cancelled their entire upcoming tour, including Graspop.

Thanks Spawno, I shall give those a listen at some stage if I can find em.

 

[Icarus]

Pretty much any nuclear assault is cool. Any album from the 80s.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

I had two of these suckers arrive in the mail today!
