Yes
that's a word..... All these boys here around the heavy metal vibe - you
know that one, which has always been here since the Eighties, want to
check out, whether it's still up to date. And they want to prove, that
this musical style ain't dead yet. No we are not here talking about New
Metal, though some of these guys here could easily be the grandchildren
of all those big legends and icons. Also we don't have here any
alternative or even Grunge, Hardcore.... or whatsoever ... hardrockin'
style, but only real ordinary Heavy Metal. These 4
boys (where is the girl?) have one EP named 'Heavier Than Metal'. And
that's their slogan live on stage with all the energy And
though they are not superstars yet on the heavy metal sky (how could they anyway, as they didn't have time to develop yet because of
their youth) These boys do actually leave a pretty decent impression and
take care, that the average party mood is increasing... |
The
result speaks for itselves, and also Powerwolf stand the driving licence
test tonight without beeing too holy. Hey, you only have to tell me your
make up artist.

Rebellion is the slogan, and that one get's trained through out again. Stick to your balls and age is just a figure - you know what I mean - we are as young as we feel like. And right at this very minute, we are all 21 again and soon climbing up Germany's highest mountain, that's what bassist Jens is intending to do so soon. And guitarist Axel is protesting against the killing of kitchen flies and becomes an active animal protector. (hey next christmas you might take part at the big annual TV gala with all those soapy pop and schlager stars). Drummerboy Stefan has last but not least found his Jägermeister even on the rocks, giving him imaginary wings to practice the candle shape of Uli Küsch on drums. Well, and Chris, what are we doing with you? Okay, stay as you are and as I said before, fifty is only a figure to repeat myself for the third time. But rather too often repeated then once too less - just to make sure for lacking memory. But no way what's up to Mastro Boltendahl, who doesn't need any Viagra and aging pills for his youthful aura... (same for the other boys of course) Call
it natural inheritage or obvious talents.... ehm.... I mean of course the
artistic one's and not any other's which I don't know of - of course.
And so my friends, this brillant recepie is cooked and served neatly - and this is it, what
Grave Digger is all about - heading for the slogan: we still play every
25 year young twen onto the wall. And I promise, that's what they really
do - without showing mercy - no question about that.... For us elderly semester such an event containing 4 bands can be pretty exhausting, most of all what's up to the length and the local temperature which is situated somewhere between Kongo and Sudan... |
But as we all know, if something is really good, then you don't look onto your watch and you don't feel your big toe by standing on one or two spots for the whole time. Main important is, that your longing for some refreshment such as beer or other liquids is satisfied. And don't worry, Munich's nice policemen are already on the spot outside the main entrance, and hope for some extra pocket money by collecting one or the other driving licence now and then. Thanks god, most locals know from where the wind is blowing, and that's why we are carefull with all that and do only encourage Sabaton's frontpapagallo for "one more beer" - "one more beer"... etc. etc. And he again has got at least that much german skills to catch that satisfying the audiance's request for once. Not a second time though, because of keeping the good condition, and not maybe ending up squeaking a false Nutcracker suite. (hope next time we can do an interview in german then:-) However... over here in
Germany we
think Scandinavians are on top of the list what's up to body sizes here in Europe,
but not in Sabaton's case, who are better described as - small but aloha.
Although these Swedes put a huge stage presence on stage, most
of all thanks to singer Joakim Brodén. And he proves, that a) it doens't need
long hair for the image care in Heavy Metal, and B) he's got such a huge
aura, that Al Capone would probably become jealous as hell because of
those mirrored sunglasses, if he was still alive. |
Well, my
request pre show, to take these mystery glasses off for a sec,within the first 3
songs - while taking pics, is fullfilled, and I owe our Don Johnson of
Carl Gustav's country a little thank you...
Johnny Depp couldn't have done better. And our Backstage Werk is praised by the lord, when the bear put's an energetic twist onto the stage, so our ship is almost sinking because of all that sweat.. No panic though, as Sabaton drive the boat very selfconfident throughout the aquarium and take care for 100.000 imaginary bubbles thanks to all those delicious ingedients within the special hard rockin' Pina Colada (check gourmet menue card below) - However, we are all happy and satisfied due to this musical enjoyment of traditional Heavy Metal. No wishes left open.... (yeah well maybe one or two, but that's got nothing to do with the show:-))) And the nicest thing is - no real fat on to the cheak belly button. And that again seems pretty sexy, most of all, when after show before and after taking a shower, we do get an additional small Calvin Klein underwear fashion show. Too bad that the female clientel is still so small within this musical genre. But as we say so - exeptions state the rules. And that again becomes impressingly true outside in the audiance flying across onto the stage.... see below... And our chart storming
heroes do not have problems with that, do they?! Because the point is
the famous sparkle, which fires off a big bonfire within our Venue and
makes this event to an unforgettable evening for a long time. |
