Si on parle de thrash, si, tu ne peux qu'être d'accord avec moi !! hehehhe

D'ailleurs le dernier Agent steel est vraiment pas mal, je l'ai écouté 2 fois seulement pour l'instant et je le trouve peut être même meilleur que "Unstoppable Force" par exemple.

Ouais je l'ai écouté aussi, il est vraiment bon je trouve.
Disons que la grosse différence avec "Unstopable force" c'est le son mais bon depuis le temps ... c'est normal.

Mais par contre je reste sur ma position pour DEWSCENTED ...

Il semblerait ke twisted sister remplace iced earth.

Dark Angel have cancelled. That was actually the only band I wanted to see.

Ha yes I've just seen this..........Assassin is still playing though (with Atomic Steif from Sodom)

bordel de merde.......dark angel!!!....pfff
fait chier je viens juste de recevoir ma place aujourd'hui....

recherche: plan caisse pour 2 (ou 1) personnes pour aller wacken ...et si possible arriver le mercredi...
départ bordeaux, ou paris (ou entre les deux a voir)

personnal wacken's report


RUNNING WILD : tracks from: under jholy roger, branded and exiled, prisonner of our time, death or glory, victory....good concert still in their pirates attitude.....
after a big fireworks concluded this first day...pfffffuck!

Friday
DISMEMBER: many track from the first album "like an ever flowing stream", with their own typical sound, a great surprise!! exellent!!

SENTENCED: only tracks from their 2 last releases and a a cover from "the trooper", their "turbo bo goss" singer has a sutpid posing rockstar attitude
without speaking his tshirt where you could read "super gay" with a runic typo...provocation or reallity?

TESTAMENT: not bad at all, many tracks from "the legacy" album.....

TWISTED SISTER : our "dear" snyder is a very good front man i didn't expected so good.....some tracks speaks by themself "We're Not Gonna Take It",
"I Wanna Rock, "You Can't Stop Rock 'N' Roll","Burn In Hell"....

Saterday
CARPATHIAN FOREST: well their new bassplayer is fat like hell and a pig compared to him is really nice.....the show was fucking killer, great dirty
black painting, after 3 tracks the bassplayer player showed us his rotting ass and at the end of the show their singer did a great vomit on stage.....
what a best way to conclude such a fucking show? (they played tracks from each albums....)

ROTTING CHRIST : just get the last 4 tracks of the show, i expected not to be good but is was ok for me....tracks from "thy mighty contract"
and "non serviam" and of course new stuffs....

DARK FUNERAL: boring for me....

KATAKLYSM : not bad at all....tracks from first and last album....

ASSASSIN: well typical 80's thrash without anything special to say about, simple but really efficent !!

SLAYER: only 3 tracks for the last shit, all the other one were from the 80's....reign in blood, antichrist, south of heaven, warensemble.....


ORGANISATION:
-a big screen between the 2 main stages....very good!
-tons of people and it seems that wacken's oragnisator are not saying the correct amount of people.....heard about 66 000....(from tickets seller)
-ballrooms party: we had fuckin karaokeshow every night this time (instead of only wenesday)! fuck !! and only normal parties started at 2 oclock...and closed on saterday at 3 oclock!! fuck!!
-breakfast tent is smaller, but they have added some eating points next to the camping area, and a drinks seller...

Twisted sister, raise hell, testament, carpathian forest and assassin just killed !
I was a bit disapointed by the Slayer show. The track listing was damned good (They played all the tracks from reign in blood), but it lacked of power / energy / conviction, especially from Araya.

After 20 years, give the man a break heh...
I do agree Araya is still da master in its genre and is getting hotter and hotter the older he gets (eerrrrr sorry it just slipped out-of-subject but man that smile...huh anyways) but also the last time I saw Slayer, the fact that he's losing his voice and can't really do that many live shows anymore was pretty obvious (poor guy was sick and threw up on the side of the stage)...maybe it's time to take a break but from what I understood from friends of theirs, the new album is pretty close to be done (and I have inside info that I won't trade unless for a big whack of cash :D ) so we'll see...
