I'm seeing 'Maiden in Stockholm in June sometime and I'm very seriously contemplating going to Wacken as well. Tomorrow is the deadline for booking bus trips from here so I'll see what happens.

So... Who's going again? You, Mark, Jay, and..?

And are you people going to stay in hotels or tents or what?

Me, Mark, Jay & ChiefB from Royal Carnage, plus 2 of my friends (Scott & Jim) as well. Well.... if we can make it back without passing out at the festival, we got us a hotel in Itzehoe, just outside Wacken. Small rooms, but big partying I'm sure. :)

Uh oh, I smell vomit.

Oh wait, that's just the stench coming from Ali's room. :D

Yes but at least it will be the smell of my own vomit. :D

Actually that hotel is going to be nuts if Kerry King and Tom Araya end up staying there. Get an American drunk on Jaegermeister, and the next thing you know, they'll be signing deals to work on the next Timmo Tolkki album.

Bwaaaahahahaha!!! LMFAO!! Now there's an intriguing songwriting mix. Well, ANYTHING is an improvement over "Hymn to Life". That is flat out one of the worst albums I've ever heard.
 
Who's going to be the drinking buddies between the bands at Wacken?

I reckon Iced Earth will end up drinking with Slayer, and then beating the shit out of Timmo Kotipelto just after they play Eagleheart.
