Mellotronen 2008

[EternityRites]

I remember this being brought up when it was announced, but where has the thread gone? Anyways, I reserved my spot today on this festival, and am wondering is anyone else going? I would love to meet you and share some beers!

This actually sounds pretty cool, I must consider it.

 

[L0bster]

I'm going, as well as at least three friends of mine. It's gonna be a blast!

I was wondering when this Mellotronen thread might emerge from
the surface : )

I've booked my melloticket too but not the flight.

Cis is coming too! : D

incredible festival. Anekdoten and colins of paradise (!)

 

[Hobo]

I booked the same day the tickets were released

So, how ´bout a little forum meet-up?

 

[stefan86]

I wanna go, but I cant get any people to go with me really. It's prolly not happening

 

[i aint play this]

Besides Katatonia, Opeth and Comus, most bands on this festival are sorta boring, like Anekdoten for example, they do nothing for me.

 

[i aint play this]

lol just checked the list of bands and Bo Hansson is in there, sleepin' pill in musical form.

 

[stefan86]

Katatonia, Opeth and the beer would be reason enough for me to go

Cool! Meet by the stage area, no?

 

[Hobo]

sounds fair to me

 

[Katatonic89]

Me and my friend were thinking of going but it's so fucking expensive if you are only two

 

[EternityRites]

Nice to see people that are going

I personally really like Anekdoten, incredibly talented band. Fredrik Thordendal's Special Defects were added, and Opeth and Katatonia are enough of an incentive. Sure, they may play festivals this summer also, but not in such an intimate and laid back atmosphere. I understand how some think it is expensive too, but 400 euros or so for two, weekend cruise, time in Helsinki and Stockholm, its a cheap spring vacation for me, probably not so exciting for those of you that live there and get to see these bands any time you want

 

[i aint play this]

Fredrik Thordendal is one of my guitar idols, he is awesome. 4 good bands so far then...

 

[Hobo]

yes!!
I love Thordedal, and hearing Sol my pals Wtihin live is going to be amazing!
(and i found on some site saying theat IA Eklund will be onstage with them also... two guitar gods on one stage..)

Agreed. And I don't see why you should be compelled to go with someone
else or not at all? I'm going solo, myself... with the firm intention of seeing and meeting some great people : )

 

[weepngwrds]

Booked mine yesterday...and this really isn't all that expensive IMO. I'll be saying a rosary every day between now and March for "Sweet Nurse"

 

[Bleak Eyes]

How much is it? Also, how long does it take to get a passport?

 

[Morfeind]

If I wasn't living in the states, I would be all over this! Katatonia, Opeth and Anekdoten are 3 of my favorite bands.
