Festivals

Sun, 18 Jan 2009 23:03:44 +0000

Can't they start to fucking announce the bands for different festivals this summer so that I can prepare to save some money!! :/

I'm probably going to Tuska again but I'd love to go to some other festival too. Provinssi could be nice. Perhaps, maybe, depends on the company. IF anyone I know is even going.

This is where I would love to go...

Wed, 28 May 2008 12:42:49 +0000

Why do I not have any spare money? :/ I would have very much liked to go this event:

XXV Anniversary

Yeah, I will be seeing Vader later on autumn (on October) but it really won't be the same....

Hmph. Wish something would happen so that I would be able to go. Because other than the great bands I would also like to see Poland. Never been there...

METSATÖLL

Metsatöll

This band is simply the best. Their gigs never fail to entertain and the music is always amazing. Plus the guys and the crew are so very nice. :)

I'm totally in love with Merehunt. <3<3<3

And as if these two gigs weren't enough, I can't wait to see them again in a few weeks. I must see them again!!

Tuska '08

Thu, 14 Feb 2008 17:34:51 +0000

So far the line up looks good enough to say I am going... although it does not include that many must sees. However, the ones I want to see are definitely worth paying too much money for.

Confirmed bands are:

Slayer (USA)
Dimmu Borgir (NOR)
Carcass (UK)
Killswitch Engage (USA)
Sonata Arctica
Amon Amarth (SWE)
Mokoma
Kreator (GER)
Entombed (SWE)
Stam1na
Behemoth (POL)
Nile (USA)
Kalmah
Tyr (FRI)
Primordial (IRL)
The Sorrow (AUT)
Kiuas
Korpiklaani
Dying Fetus (USA)

The ones I am waiting to see are Behemoth, Nile, Carcass, Amon Amarth, Týr... as well as Primordial, Dying Fetus and, okay, Korpiklaani.

I wonder why DB, Kreator and Kalmah made the list again for they were just just two years ago??

Anyway, I hope some more must sees will make the line up. (Don't we always?)

Still bored. Better go to bed?

Damn missed gigs!

Wed, 14 Nov 2007 17:18:28 +0000

I really wanted to go see Amorphis, Swallow the Sun and Insomnium... but as I couldn't find anyone to go with and as I am rather short of money it just didn't happen. What a pity. :/

I was also going to attend this Nile gig here in Tampere but at the moment it seems like I am going to miss that one too. This time it's not so much a question of money but rather whom to go with... A few friends were supposed to come but they are probably going to Helsinki instead. :/

And let's see the rest of this year's gigs get fucked up too. I really fear for the Finntroll gig on New Year's Eve... I mean if the one I am supposedly going with does not decide early enough the tickets might be sold out. Shit!

Now I will probably attend the Kalmah gig, but if I was to choose, I would rather have missed that if I could have gone to all those other ones... :/ Life's not always fair.

And where are all the great bands!? The ones I REALLY want to see........

Damnit, there was no Loits this autumn. Nor this year. (So Atso didn't know what he was talking about...??) Meh, I wish Metsatöll would come back soon. I need my montly dose of them.

Bands I'll be seeing.....

Tue, 2 Oct 2007 20:24:40 +0000

Tampere is such a great city in many ways; one of them being the fact that many good bands come here. (Except for fucking Vader!!) But anyways, I don't mind going elsewhere for bands worth seeing... like I am doing by the end of this month, Funeral Feast is definitely worth the visit to Turku, and amongst the fucking losers there.

There's been a few and luckily enough will be a couple more during the end of the year... First of all, I'll be seeing Ajattara this Thursday, although I never listened to them all that much... but the last time I saw them, about two years ago, I quite enjoyed the gig. :) Then there will be the Korpiklaani gig no one told me about this Sunday. I might as well go, although I am not listening to them all that much anymore. However, I am definitely waiting to see Skyforger because last time I payed too much attention elsewhere (and since I went to see Moonsorrow I did not care for the rest... how stupid of me... but now I know better.)

Anyhow, the Metsatöll gig about a week ago was magnificent. Those guys are the best in what comes to great shows. :)

Jesusfuckingchrist, I want to see Vader!!! That was totally random...

Anyways, I am also going to, most probably, attend the Marduk gig, lest I am short of money. And then there's also Nile that I'd like to see... Maybe I'll have to choose between these two... but we'll see, they're more than a month away.

Now I can only hope there will be many more great bands coming (but not on same dates)! Atso said Loits could do a gig in Tampere when they come to Finland... I hope it's true! :)
