K.T Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 I didn't realise their success. Mainly due to the fact it's not really the type of band I listen to but i'll keep it in mind I mean, the last time I was at festivals was in summer 2009 and the headliners were bands like Kataklysm, Satyricon, Dimmu Borgir, Nightwish, Motorhead, In Flames and Arch Enemy. How would you rate those bands in the grand scale of things? Also, as punk goes is anyone a fan of Rocket From The Crypt? I also promise you all if I'm ever at a Slayer gig again I'll video the patch jacket men screaming "SLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAYERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly wasn't Sonisphere or Download, in 2009 they're headliners were Metallica and Faith No More and Slipknot. Motorhead aren't a big band anymore. They were at Download in the summer and they weren't even in the top three on the main stage, fourth down I think they were. Not much love for punk on this forum, well I've not seen any. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much love for punk on this forum, well I've not seen any. That was Wacken, Metal Camp, Legacy Festival and Summer Nights. Missed Faith No More about 5 times now I mentioned on the festival thread that I'm heading to Metaltown in Gothenburg next summer. Looks amazing! Line-up so far is At The Gates, Volbeat, Watain, Cradle Of Filth, Soilwork, Parkway Drive and System of a down (Shit, didn't even realise SOAD were confirmed for that! You guys were right! ) Avenged Sevenfold, Metallica, Slipknot, In Flames and Lamb Of God are also rumoured. Plus I'm sure The Haunted and Dark Tranquility will play as they're local and have been pretty regular in the past. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn't actually a camping area because it's held in the middle of gothenburg rather than a field. Be the first time i've been to a fest like that. But it does mean a bit of sightseeing etc aswell as awesome bands. I guess it's just like a massive gig held over a weekend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much were tickets? I went onto the page but it was saying 1.4k of whatever the currency of Sweden is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it worked out about £120 each? I'm in the process of booking a hotel aswell, which is actually turning out to be a lot cheaper than I expected. I'm treating this as a wee holiday. Based entirely around seeing At The Gates. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Download has become my holiday for the past two years. If the Big Four announced to play Metal Town then I might go, best of both UK ones. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K.T Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 This guy has to be one of my favourite musicians. He makes it look effortless! Anyone else got any favourites? Drummer, guitarist or whatever. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forehead7 Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Although not technically a metal bass player, Matt Freeman is my favourite four stringer, Dave Grohl's probably my favourite drummer. Dimebag, surprisingly, would be up there in the guitarist list 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernLights Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 I'd like to suggest a vocalist - Mikael Åkerfeldt. The way he can sing so cleanly but then following it up with a brutal growl always impresses me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdP61RPu58U http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmByeB7y5aw 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally I would take it with a pinch of salt, but with so much hype around this At the Gates reunion, when they said that it was their last show I thought they were being serious. Not that I'm bothered anyway, didn't enjoy them live or recorded. As for favourite musicians : On guitar, Victor Smolski On bass, Marco Panichi. On drums, Ingo Schwichtenburg but considering he tragically committed suicide in 1995, there's not a lot of live footage of him and certainly not any of him doing a solo (that I can find) but listening to any Helloween album pre-Chameleon should highlight why he was a great drummer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many twee metal bands playing, not my thing. As the line-up currently stands I'd only watch ATG and Immortal. maybe Morbid Angel. seeing this live could be one of the highlights of my life! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jam Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Good shout on the Meshuggah duo. Between The Buried & Me's Paul Waggoner and Blake Richardson are absolutely fantastic musicians http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tx5W2xpgy88 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also agree with the mentions of Meshuggah and Between The Buried And Me, was just listening to Meshuggah's Obzen before coming into this thread. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
