It’s not polite to join a community without introducing yourself….. but the reason I did not do it before is that I was a bit shy, because I probably am the oldest (female) AA fan.
Here we go!
I have always been a hardrockfan but was not familiar with metal (found it too noisy) but probably heard the wrong stuff LOL.
About 2 years ago I saw on MTV the clip from Runes to my memory and thought wtf?
Downloaded some stuff and went with son and daughter to the Full of Hate tour in Amsterdam where I first saw AA life. Then went to the gigs in Haarlem en Enschede and 2 weeks ago to Amsterdam.
Meanwhile I listened to other (melodic) metal and started to like other bands such as Trivium, Dimmu Borgir etc.
I hope you will forgive me for not introducing myself earlier but as said before, shyness and not wanting to be recognized on gigs was the reason for that.
My nickname is my mothers family name. One of her relatives has made a family tree and the Hagg family is originally from Sweden from the town of Haggeby where the name Hegg/Hagg was first used by a man who lived from 1576-1655.
So Johan H. could be my great-great (x…
nephew ;o)
BTW, did you know that the name Haig also comes from the same family? That’s the part that went to the USA.
