Hellfire Festival 2009

[Katie'Force]

So I decided that seeing as our plans are spread out over about 3 different threads, I'd start a proper thread for this festival.

For those who don't know, Firewind are playing Hellfire Festival on Saturday 21st February at O2 Islington Academy, London.

Me, Kirsty, Emy and Mika are all definately going just for the saturday (tickets are £20 for the day).

Who else is joining us?

 

[forgottenglory]

Ha! I did not know that. Thanks for pointing this out. I will try to make it.

 

[Katie'Force]

Woo!!! Another recruit!!!

 

[Kirst-ehhh]

Ha! I did not know that. Thanks for pointing this out. I will try to make it.

You should gooo!!!


Yes. My plan is to fly down I think.

Katie! What is the latest time I should be in London for? There is a flight that gets me into London for 10.35am (easyjet). But I don't think I'd actually get to London King's Cross until about 12.30pm.

Too late? About right? Try get in earlier - there is indeed an earlier flight for about the same price...

[Katie'Force]

Yeah that's fine, I can get a train that gets me there at 12;30 so should be all good.... however if earlier is an option i reckon we should get in earlier just to get as much banter in as possible but it's up to you, you're the one who has to get up at evil o'clock hehe

On the same day as Judas Priest at Wembley Arena? They've really thought this one through, haven't they?

 

[Kirst-ehhh]

More banter. I booked the 7.15am flight. Bed as soon as I get home from work on the Friday, up at 5am. Showered and washed and at the airport by 6am. Land in Stansted at 8.35am. Be at Kings Cross by abooout 10.30am. Faaaantastic.

In the worst case scenario I can hit the Wetherspoons near Kings Cross (£1.49 a pint!!!!!!!!)


Priest at Wembley!? Fucking LEGEND!!! More front row space for meeee!

Another fine example of how Europeans get everything good -starts packing for a fake move-

D: I WOULD GO IF I COULD -tear drop-

 

[Katie'Force]

Judas priest fail in comparison to Firewind and Alestorm!

Awesome, I shall go book the train to arrive at King's Cross for 10:30!!!!
Also, we HAVE to be at the front, it's the LAW!!!! (Still, nothing can beat being in the venue BEFORE the band even arrive in the city mwahahaha)

The UK is awesome when it comes to gigs, I will admit that.... except for all the bands that FAIL at realising the UK has more venues than just London! Seriously, i've got four gigs in the next two months, one's in paris and the other three are in london because the bands are only playing one UK gig. Play Leeds! Middle of the UK!

 

[Katie'Force]

Also what time we leaving on sunday? so i can book trains. we having sunday in london?

 

[Kirst-ehhh]

Haha, agreed Katie.

Scotland usually gets missed out altogether. It makes me sad. I usually have to travel to London for gigs. I don't mind but it's a good 400-500 miles (nearly 1000 miles round trip) just to see a band and it frustrates me. 3 trips to London in 3 months for me too. Edguy, Firewind and Serenity. 3 of my favourites bands in 3 months. This year is gonna be awesome!!!


And yeah...get to the venue on time (especially when you are coming from the exact same place as me on the exact same day to the exact same venue)...granted I flew and they had to stay on the bus

[Katie'Force]

this year is indeed gonna be awesome!!!! Gonna kick 2008's arse it is!

hahahahaha that was rather amusing, just the look of confusion on their faces 'how did you get INSIDE beforewe even arrived?' scotland tattoo guy had his uses

 

[forgottenglory]

On the same day as Judas Priest at Wembley Arena? They've really thought this one through, haven't they?

Damn...I was thinking to seeing Firewind and go to the Priest Feast as well. Given that I've never seen Megadeth before and being a huge Testament fan, it's going to be hard to decide...

 

[Katie'Force]

MEGADETH ARE SHIT!!!!! (it's a good job Greg's not on this forum...)
You know full well Firewind kick their ass!

Oh and Kirsty, we need two hotel rooms as you can only get three adults in the family room

Can we not just pass Emy off as a child?...Or sneak her in!? lol.


And Judas Priest and Megadeth are playing all over the UK - just go to a different one?



xx Kirsty

 

[Katie'Force]

hahahaha it'd probably work! but I'm not sure if Emy's coming, she says she's gonna have to look at her finances after her exams

 

[Katie'Force]

Oh and i've got some bad news regarding the festival. On O2 academy's website it says there's a mystery headliner, which is fucking stupid, because now Firewind are gonna have less time. I've been given inside info as to who it probably is and they're a good band, but nowhere near as good as firewind, so it sucks!

MEGADETH ARE SHIT!!!!! (it's a good job Greg's not on this forum...)

NO THEIR NOT SHIT!!!!!
Seen them 7 times.

 

[Katie'Force]

Seen them 7 times.

hahahahaha oh dear, not again, Kirsty, Kirsty help!!!!

Ok i'll rephrase, "In my opinion Megadeth's music is rubbish, I respect them as musicians, and they are indeed talented, but I do not like their music in any way"

 

[Kirst-ehhh]

I agree with Katie on this one I'm afraid folks.

MEGA-DEAF!
