Brügge sehen und erben
Magdo, to si radši nepusť, to by ses jenom lekla :)
Last week, we visited Brugges (this decision was influenced by watching “In Brugges”) and officially inaugurated (and terminated) this year’s festival season. As every year, the festival weather was terrific (a bit too much sun maybe?), the music was good (when I come to think about it, last year’s music wasn’t that good…) and (new!) even after the last day I was still able to hear things (due to my new – and rather expensive – ear plugs which are supposed to reduce the volume, but to leave things like melody, bass, guitars etc untouched. Obviously the first factor (melody) is irrelevant at a metal festival, but still (and I kind of doubt the rest – it really seems to depend on the band – Slipknot sounded shitty with them, but I’m not sure if that was due to the quality of their performance, or the ear plugs).
Also, New Year’s resolution to have a look at the line up before buying the tickets was a good one – the had Korn there, and Slipknot, Static X (well, it seems they play everywhere, but anyway), Soulfly and good old Marilyn M. (mind you, I’m not a MM fan, but his performance wasn’t as bad as the last concert I saw with him – at least he play as long as promised, did not spend most of his time lying around on stage, even communicated with the audience and reduced at least 3 microphones to dropping pieces of metal-saliva-things).
Ohn, and Brugges are nice, but expensive (and watch the movie!).
Ich mag Korn übrigens tatsächlich nicht. Dafür mag ich Gojira gerade sehr (Öko-Metal! :D) und hab auch Disturbed wieder entdeckt. Sowieso hör ich gerade ziemlich viel Metal. Bestimmt alles euer böser Einfluss! ;)
Aber unabhängig davon find ich, dass das Graspop das beste Festival bisher war (Musik und Publikum viel besser als aufm Highhfield und Organisation und Hygiene besser als aufm Full Force). Aber das sagte ich glaub ich auch schon.
@Korn – Ich kann da nur sagen: Aber die alten Sachen! :) Und die neuen erst (gibts da welche). Ich hab bei näherer Analyse ja mal festgestellt, dass ich eigentlich überhaupt keinen Metal höre. Aber das mag daran liegen, dass ich auch kaum Musik höre. Andererseits geht mir Pop recht schnell auf die Nerven, was bei gut gemixtem Metal nicht der Fall ist. Komisch das.
