snow2fall ... really great photos ... i like the unconventional journalistic eye you are trying to develop.

[snow2fall]

Thank you.

My personal highlights:

Dark Age
now what a nice band, not only excellent musically (melodic death metal), but also very charismatic... a frontman that actually smiles instead of trying to look as grim as possible... wooo

Dark Fortress
they looked a bit ridiculous with their corpse paint in the bright afternoon sun, but that didn't change anything about the fact that they kicked ass

Primordial
awesome, even though the drums sounded a bit tinny this time

Rotting Christ
the rhythm guitar was missing, but still

End Of Green

Hypocrisy

Nopes, just one of the countless metal fests here.

More festival pics here btw.

 

[lurch70]

hmm ... those are really cool. I like the fact that you do not have a single pic of the bands playing ... and I am not joking.
that shit gets tired ... the pics you have gave a good vibe of the event ... i think you have something going there, some new angle of documenting rock gatherings.

 

[snow2fall]

I can't really enjoy a gig if I have to watch it through a lens, so I don't take concert pics that often. I prefer to just capture the atmosphere of an event, the expressions on people's faces, etc. And there were heaps of interesting "victims" there.

 

[lurch70]

right on, totally agree with you.

we were just talking with Zod and Gugs this past weekend about going to shows on weekdays as opposed to weekends. Personally I like weekday shows as whoever tries to make it to them, is usually a big fan of the bands involved usually making for a good gig ... weekends brings the people that just want to hang out as well.

also, concert videos ... the best ones IMHO are the ones that show the crowd going nuts as much as showing the band ... it gives for a better vibe and really captures the event. Of course if the crowd is lame, the day they shoot the concert ... well ... we have all seen those videos.

hmm...
step 1: learn german
step 2: find job
step 3: move

 

[Mormagil]

Reverse those steps and you get what every other immigrant to Europe probably does. 14/88

 

[NAD]

yeah, i'd go in reverse order. no sense in learning a language before suberging yourself into the culture. i mean, you could spend 2 years learning it from books on tape and then totally miss the dialect you end up in. i'd rather move and then learn the language by sink or swim in like a month.

 

[Conspicuously Absent]

my ace in the whole, I know 3 fluent german speakers and my dad lived/worked all around germany for about a year when he was my age then did a few other parts of europe for a few years

and by learn german... i meant the basics:

where is the shitter?
i'm lost and don't know where I am!!!!
i'm hungry and can't find food.
i'm thirsty.
i'm horny
wheres a good bar?

 

[snow2fall]

step 2: find job

Most difficult part.

 

[Conspicuously Absent]

Most difficult part.

yeah, especially when you are coming from out of the country/continent

 

[NAD]

i think i've found my calling:

 

[snow2fall]

yeah, especially when you are coming from out of the country/continent

It doesn't make much of a difference I think. Everyone's losing their jobs here, no matter how qualified they are. We'll have a conservative government in less than a month, so I'm expecting things to become even worse...

Our new chancellor.
