Rock the city, Romexpo, 29.07.13

I have to start once more complaining about the organisation. It was a complete "fuck you" to the fans and you could tell that every bad decision happened because of greed and desire to make the most money from it. I'm not even going to go into how expensive everything is, because I've already gotten used to it, but I have to say that if I had had tickets to Normal circle, I would've been seriously pissed. The Normal circle was so freaking far behind that I have no idea how these people saw anything. Even the giant screens were tiny to them! Also the food courts were terrible. We stayed in line for 45 minutes to get a hot dog when there were only ten people in front of us. The line simply wouldn't move. We started interacting with the other people in the line and making jokes to pass the time (and people say metalheads are aggressive... pfft), but eventually Rammstein started and we gave up.

Rock the City/Tuborg Greenefest, Romexpo, 30.06.12

As the first day was mostly a filler full of Romanian bands I can always listen to and I couldn't make it through three hours of the Axl Rose show and one hour of whiny Amy Lee for the life of me, let alone pay for it, I decided the second day of Greenfest is the only one that's worth it. I was wrong, nothing of this shitty festival was worth it. The good thing is that they had the inspiration OST fest lacked to put the stage against the sun so that you'll actually have some shade. The bad thing... everything else. In good old Tuborg tradition, it was more of a dust festival rather then a metal festival, with clouds of dust rising up in the sky and with horribly expensive food and drinks (just to give you an idea, we spent about as much on food and drinks as we did on the tickets, it's ridiculous!). I could've ignored these problems, but the worst of all was an issue that truly has the power to ruin a concert and that was the sound. The sound was crap crap crap, I could barely make out most of the music.

Rock the city, Constitution Square, 03.07.11

I have no idea what to say about Metrock because they barely got up on stage and they came down immediately. They seemed like a nice enough band, but I didn’t get a chance to get into it (it was shorter even then the usual opening acts).

After just seeing Trooper a month ago opening for Scorpions and being slightly disappointed by them, I wasn’t exactly ecstatic about seeing them again. They came, did their job and left. I don’t seem to have any recollection of the event whatsoever, it just... happened.
