Ok, I'm back into the real world again, so a little review of stuff I remember
First I wanna say I didn't see ANY bad bands this festival ! For a 2-day festival that's quit special I think. Okay, I didn't see Rigor Mortis, Living Death and Exhumer, that was dinner time and I don't like these bands that much either. They were programmed at exact the right spots around eating time...So no idea how they were, maybe Marco saw them?
Bands I liked most were Procession (doom), Exxplorer (one of my fav 80's bands), Militia (what an awesome singer) and the NWOBHM show was awesome !!
These bands stood out for me but I really really liked almost all other bands alot too. Lizzy Borden and Armored Saint killed as headliners
. Aska, Ruthless, Tyrant, Picture...all just great great bands !
I met RockerBob from Ruthless (or are you drummer with Tank now, haha !!!); was great to see and talk with you Bob, I guess you were impressed a bit with the fetival too ;-) All I need to say is that Bob is a joy to talk with, loads of fun again !!
Didn't meet Marco though...Well there's allways next year Marco (or anything in between).
Also talked with the guys of Exxplorer and Militia. All super friendly and down to earth guys (a weekend rock stars but working again on monday !)
The NWOBHM show was awesome. It was basically the Roxxcalibur NWOBHM tribute band (wich is awesome by the way) with singers of different NWOBHM bands (vocalists of Blitzkrieg, Demon, TOPT, Girlschool, Tom Angelripper with Tank, singer of Jag Panzer doing some Maiden, and a few more I can't think of now...)
As allways, the atmosphere at this festival rules. Really dedicated fans from allover the world gather here, I sometimes feel like I'm one of the lesser fanatic guys here, really... Also the weather was excellent, so you could go outside to rest a bit now and than (haha, ALL of them oldtimers have sore backs and feet here
)and enjoy the beautiful landscape and catch some sun...
It's a damn shame it's so hard for all you overseas guys to visit this festival (as it is for me hard to visit PP)... \m/
I think the US government should send out free planes to KIT to establish better international relations, hahahahahaha....
I think this was one of the best festivals I've ever been to, my friends and I had a blast for sure !
I'll see if I can catch some more pics/vids later on....
