Hey peeps

Here I am again, back from GMM (Graspop Metal Meeting) i hope you didn't missed me to much well, i guess i'l write a bit over what i all did and saw on GMM

Graspop Metal Meeting

Day 1

Stood up at 7am (urlier then school T.T) to go the train station, my train was at 8:12am so i was there way to urly at the next station i had to get on another train and a friend whit who i was going to GMM was waiting for me there. We waited for the train and there were already some other metalheads waiting to. We got on the train and it was just filled whit people who were going to GMM too but now, at the last station were we had to get on another station we got out of the train and it was just filled whit people, that last train we had to take wasn't exectly big so it got totaly filled, some people couldn't get on so they had to wait for the next train the next thing was the bus to the festival field, lucky for us they had enough busses (around 10) so there was no prob here, a problem was that the stupid bus stopped right in front of the concert field but we had to go to the camping first wich was like 1,5km further and that wasn't exectly fun whit all those heavy bags when we finally arrived there it was another hour waiting in-line to get in T.T and then another walk of +- 0,5km to find a spot for our tents, now i'm gonna do a little skip of time to were we are on the concert field

We first bought our food and drink tickets, bought some food and went to the Marquee 1, one of the3 big tents (the 3 tents are Marquee 1 & 2 and the Metal Dome were begining bands played, i haven't seen anything in that last one) we first saw Sabaton, now these guys just sucked, sorry if there is someone here a fan of them but their music and their show sucked Then Static X played on the main stage, i didn't knew them so i didn't really care about them at first but they were pretty good, their music was good and their show great, the singer had all his hair straight up like that guy from Tekken, just hilarious and the base guitar player was this fat South American guy and he was fun too and then back to Marquee 1 for the best show of the day, Epica it's a gothic Metal group from Netherland and they just ruled, great music, awesome show my friend doesn't even listen to gothic metal and he thought they were the best that day too awesomeness XD then we wanted too see Papa Roach on the main stage but after the first song it already started raining like **** we ran off too Marquee 2 wich wasn't yet totaly filled. When the rain stopped Papa Roach's concert was over so we just waited an hour in front of the main stage for Within Temptation i'm a big fan of them so their music was great ofcourse the show however was a little soft at the bigining, but after the first 2 songs it got a lot better till awesomeness XD they also had these huge flame thingies, now we were at like 10-15m away from those things and when the flames came out you could feel the heat of it burning on your face, i just don't want to know how that feels if you're on the front row after the second best show of the day my friend wanted to see Celtic Frost, a black metal group, my friend loved them i think they were ok their music is a little to heavy for my taste and the contact whit the people wasn't good also so, anyway, then we went for some more food, we heard Aerosmith playing, pretty good music but it's old school metal and i don't really like that so we went to Marquee 1 were we waited for an half an hour for Blind Guardian, they started at 1:20pm, we went of after another half an hour bc we coundl't stay awake but we didn't really wanted to see them so that was no prob, so of to the camping searching for our tents, i'm gonna skip the stories about that couse the same thing happend every night, half asleep searching for your tent between thousand of tenst takes some time

Day 2

We slept for like 5 hours, stupid people yelling things all the time but that's how it goes, some french people nest to us who wouldn't shut-the-f*ck-up so at 10am we went for a little walk trough the camping and then of to the concert field, at 1:30pm we saw Lamb of God, they were great ofcourse, then Sirenia in Marquee 1, they're a bit like Epica but a little less good, still a great show though the Stone Sour on the main stage whit the singer of Slipknot, they were a little to soft for my personal taste so we went for some food, and we walk around a bit, went to the little shops and stuff and met whit some friends of my friends who were there for a day (mainly too see Dimmu Borgir) the next group we saw was Cannibal Corpse, now this is the heavy sh!t, but awesome to headbang on the pit was just freaky, there was a dude that came past us whit a little hole in his neck from a spike, he was all white and bleeding like hell but it came good whit him so don't worry, no dead people and then off to the mainstage again, waiting an hour in front of the main stage for Korn we met a dude from school whit his friends there, the show itself was just awesomeness XD headbagging, jumping, singing along, just awesome my personal best of that day AND of the hole weekend and then last but not least Dimmu Borgir, my friend is a huge fan of them so he already went to Marquee 1 were they played while Korn was still playing, they were pretty good but a bit the same as Celtic Frost, too heavy but headbanging like crazy XD earlier we also went for autographs of them, my friend got a flag signed and i this little card, pretty cool hu

and now i'm sick of writing so i'm gonna leave you guys whit some beautifull anime picies of Blood Opera and i'll write part 2 tomorrow

laterz

Hey Bavoke.

Sounds awesome... minus the camping part, the rain, the buses, and the idiots that wouldn't shut the f*ck up. But other than that it seems like you had a great time. Those are some good groups you got to see.

I don't really like Cannibal Corpse cause that's just not my type of music. I heard a few songs of theirs when I was flipping through XM-radio.

Great anime pics as always.
Posted Jun 26, 2007 3:28 pm PT
