Blasphemy.
You're French, you're supposed to be drinking wine and only wine.
Blasphemy.
They also only serve Beck's at Wacken, so have fun drinking mediocre beer at a mediocre show broski.
When Becks became the exclusive beersponsor. I think that Wacken has its own beer though too(which I am sure is disgusting).
They do, it is, or used to be, a re-label of Flensburger Pilsner.
Don't hate it until you try it, you'll contradict yourself

Your sweeping generalizations in this thread coupled with the idiotic responses to amon666 in the Cultures thread ( I mean really, to actually tell a native Jordanian how his culture works as if you are more educated in the matter than him AND then to call him on grammar mistakes... just wow) are all I need to know that you're full of shit here. Everything I've seen from you up until now has been assumptionist and ignorant.
As someone pointed out, Wacken blows ass now and Hellfest is superior. Why ANYONE would want to go to a festival with a lineup full of bands that regularly tour the world and almost no exclusive performances is beyond me. Hellfest not only has bands that rarely tour like Destroyer 666, Manowar, and Repulsion, but they also have a WAAYY more eclectic lineup than Wacken, which is now pretty much either mainstream metal(core) bands or metal bands that regularly tour the US.
And while you're entitled to make whatever choice you want, deciding not to go to a festival because of the beverage that the country is famous for (I know full well that the Mediterranean is more famous for its wine, however, to assume that they ONLY drink wine, which is basically what you said,
as if Hellfest only serves wine on its festival grounds is beyond dumb and ignorant. Not only have I had great French beer, but some of the best beer in the world comes from French-speaking countries like Canada or Belgium)
or because of the language (despite the fact people from all over the world come out to these... Do you seriously expect Japanese, Croatians, Canadians, Chinese, Brazilians, etc to speak German too?) is just mind-boggling... Why are you judging entire festival experiences based on nonsensical stuff that doesn't matter in the first place?
These are metal shows with metal bands, not some sophisticated exhibition. By the way -- isn't this a gift for your son? Who cares about what YOU like to drink? Your son isn't of legal drinking age and I doubt that this is a factor in what he wants in a fest. When I was 17/18, alcohol was alcohol but the difference between a good show and a bad one was huge.
And no I haven't been to a Eurofest, but common sense says it would probably be a waste of money to spend hundreds of euros to see bands that tour the US regularly in intimate settings.
I love that after having called you out several times now on dumb posts,
you then accuse me of being a "moron"
and claim that my IQ is in negative integers but can't detect simple sarcasm.
You're a champ dude!
When did they start serving Becks? 2 years ago they still had Warsteiner.
We brought our own tent. Tents only areas are closer to the festival area if you show up on Wednesday/early Thursday. If you have a car, then you could end up being quite far away from the festival area.
The closest international airport is Hamburg. You can take the train up to Itzehoe and then bus or cab it to Wacken. If you're gonna rent a camper, etc, you should definitely look into it in advance. Don't expect to just show up and get what you want. Email tourism offices to get more info on stuff like that.
Rather than turn this thread into any more of an epic flamewar. Consider yourself PM'd. But what I will say though, that I am correct about Becks being the exclusive beersponsor. This is something recent and nobody "corrected" me. Nice reading there sleuth.
Either you can't read, or you are purposely ignoring my posts so you can get your last word in and be "right." I said they are the exclusive beersponsor. In other words, they only serve Becks. Here's a review (among many fan reviews, not to mention people I know who have been to Wacken and told me there was only Becks there) where they say that it's the official beer and such. http://www.metal-rules.com/zine/content/view/1058/0/
Wacken has its own beer, AND you might even see other beers at the festival, but 90% of the beer there is Becks as of 2007. That is Wacken's exclusive beer sponsor, so obviously they are not going to be officially selling and distributing Paulaner and Spaten and such.
This will be my last post in this thread so don't bother getting your last word in, HaloSlayer. You got my PM, if you can't see the error of your ways then I dunno. I'd run far away if I was your son.
apparently tickets for wacken 2010 are on sale already!
