(sorry about the linebreaks)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Metalmania last Saturday was incredible. It was my first time when I saw
Anathema live. The played only 8 songs and the ticket cost 100 zl (about 25
$, it`s a lot for student in Poland),but I would pay even twice more,
because it was beautiful experience and i won`t forget about that all my
life. I`d like to thank Anathema for their exist. Without them that planet
won`t be the same.
The fans could see them about 16.30 when they were giving autographs.
When they appeared everyone shouted "Anathema". There were all the brothers
and John and Lecter. All the Anathema. I was happy that I could see Jammie.
And the concert...it was the best I have ever seen. Someone on the list
said that they had played new song, i didn`t hear that. It`s all the songs
they played:
1. Fragile Dream
2. Release
3. Angelica
4. Judgement
5. Panic
6. ONE LAST GOODBYE
7. Phantom Of The Opera
8. A Dying Wish
I almost lost my voice screaming words of the songs..I was crazy....and
"One Last Goodbye"....I cried hearing that song...words can`t describe what
i felt...Anathema are masters of soul music. I was very exited..and it
wasn`t the end for me.
Later, when Vader was playing, I saw Danny and Jammi walking throught
the corridors. They were almost alone, so I came up to them. I shaked hands
with them. They gave me special autograph with dedication for my girlfriend
(i regret she was absent
) and we started talking. I talked with Danny
only, because some girls want to make a photo with Jammi. Danny is very nice
person. He told me that new album will be in the end of year probably in
October, and it will be something like AFDTE but there will be some change.
I asked why he left the band, and he told that he was very sorry about that,
"it was tragic mistake" and it won`t happen anymore. He thanked all the fans
in the Poland. He thanked for their support and being. He regret that they
played in Poland so rarely, and it`s because fucking money anf menagers. He
didn`t know if they played in Poland next year. He said that the atmosphere
at the koncert was incredible.. He thanked for all that. We talked almost 10
min......I regret that I hadn`t a camera....
In conclusion....I`m proud that I`m the fan of them. Poland love
Anathema not only for their music, but for their being too.
