yeah i was, but i was in Wels this year (was a saturday). it was probably the last time that a metal-event took place at the Schl8hof - you know the old story punks vs. metal-fans
and the Schl8hof is owned by those, just like the Arena in vienna.....
and since i havn't been to the Schlachthof before ( haha, I most definitely have never been to a slaughterhouse before
), i went there.
the first band Misery Index kicked seriously ass
then Graveworm were celebrated by the whole crowd, especially by the horny guys in the first 10 rows ... i never knew a keyboard would attract so many males....
Dew Scented were godd too - i have never seen a bad Dew Scented gig anyway =)
well and then Amon Amarth rocked the whole house (yeah, the w h o l e house was moving).
Nile are basically not my thing, so i can neither say something good nor bad about them...
and then.... Destruction were to play.
and they did.
but i didn't see or hear them
i sat down for a break and .... nodded off :Spin: i was not drunk, i just nodded off.
thus i didn't hear or see Deicide either
(I'm wearing earplugs too at such big events)
@moci: have you been to a x-mas gig somewhere?
even better!! 
it's the atmosphere that makes me like the Arena more...
I'm already looking forward to the No Mercy Festivals 2003 
well some bands contribute to such clichees, like deicide and marduk.... both bands are not allowed to play in the arena - vienna - anymore because of some incidences that occured between these bands and the arena-staff *sigh* )
