Late at night when the moon is high
The Wolf will make its eerie cry
Echoes in the valleys deep
And the mountains that are steep

Then they travel far and wide
To find that soothing lullaby
They do not stop not once at all
Until they find that lovely song

Their children listen with awe and fright
To how their parents sing at night
Then they run with their pack
Not turning once to look back

Running in the snowy night
Covering their coats in frosty delight
Finding the source of the music
Sitting down and howling to it

Crying with the pack they found
Vibrating the land with its sound
They sing all night not in day
Then they leave to get their prey

7 Days to the Wolves

Take ten bands/artists that should play at your show and determine their set lists:

- The first one plays 5 songs.
- The second one plays 5 songs.
- The third one plays 5 songs.
- The fourth one plays 5 songs.
- The fifth one plays 6 songs.
- The sixth one plays 7 songs.
- The seventh one plays 7 songs.
- The eighth one plays 7 songs.
- The ninth one plays 11 songs.
- The tenth one plays 14 songs, with a 2 song encore.

I figured i'd try this again seeing as i haven't done it for almost 2 years. My music taste is more or less the same, I like a few different artists of course, but i haven't included some of them because while they're albums are great, i don't really have a huge desire to see them live. Some of these bands aren't together anymore, or don't have the same members, but in the event of my concert i'd like to think they organised a special reunion show with the old members XD I really wanted to put Megadeth in as number 8, but i didn't think they fitted with the overall theme i was going for.

Something I did to make the time go faster:)


On the Elvenpath I'm walking to find The Poet and the Pendulum and the Beauty of the Beast.
On this Planet Hell we all know that Angels Fall First and that is the End of All Hope.
We are seeing the Sleeping Sun and we are feeling the White Night Fantasy.
The Riddler will send us out to find the Devil & The Deep Dark Ocean.
There we will find the Dark Chest of Wonders and the hidden Amaranth.
My love, we will all Live To Tell The Tale about the Last of the Wilds and the Dead Boy's Poem.
Tonight I Wish I Had an Angel so I could find Whoever Brings the Night.
Soon there will be 7 Days to the Wolves and they will howl in the Lagoon.
The Siren is hearing the Cadence of Her Last Breath and the Wishmaster is Slaying the Dreamer.
I Feel For You my Ocean Soul and I will always love you in this Ghost Love Score.
We are Two for Tragedy and we will come to Bless the Child.
You are calling me Nemo, my sweet little Eva.
And we will always live on the Meadows of Heaven.

Sat 19 Sep – Dark Passion Play World Tour

If I remember right, this concert was tour finale for both Nightwish and Apocalyptica.

Long story short, I'll gather the main points for each aspect of the event.

Firstly, the organization just sucked. There seemed to be kind of three highlights in their agenda:
1) Treat the crowd like a stampede
2) Suck off every penny they have
3) Avoid deaths inside the Arena, lawsuits are expensive

So, they treated the crowd like they were cattle, victims for leeching and pigs in one of those highly automated profit-proof pig farms of death. We also spent almost two hours in a panic-like mess, I don't know how many got hurt in it but I know the security even used violence against the crowd, apparently without a (good) reason. No cameras/no food/no drinks policy was a pain in the ass. You couldn't even take a small juicebox bought from the shops of the hallways to the concert. That's just simply fucking with the audience, nothing more. …

Odd title for odd journal. Prepare to (my) madness xD and don't expect any serious opinion about the festival, only my own emotions... *expects 50% of readers to leave* Sorry, I'm not able to speak seriously. (And this IS serious! xD )

Imagine it's 7th July and you are going to see Nightwish for the very first time (after being a fan for about 2 years). You don't really wanna wake up early. Why the f...?! It's holiday! But then! THEN always comes the problem!

I don't really like traveling by bus, train, whatever (when it is longer journey) and I was pretty nervous few days before. But THEN, at about nine a.m. (which I considered to be terribly early), my friend midrose woke me up. She sent me sms and wated me to switch on the computer immediately and talk to her. Sleepy, I did what she wated me to and - - - she told me she was sick and wouldn't go with me to MoR! I was like: "Omg, you can't be serious!" Unfortunately she was. I thought I was gonna be sick as well. Vizovice - it's not so far. …

Thu 9 Jul – Masters of Rock 2009

Tento rok som sa tešil na MoR hlavne kvôli mojej najobľúbenejšej skupine už od strednej školy, Nightwish-u, už dosť dlho bol môj sen vidieť ich.

Štvrtok:
Prvý deň mal byť podľa programu jednoznačne najlepší, poznal som z neho 3 skupiny, a to headlinerov Nightwish, nemeckých In Extremo a český NIL. Ale poďme od začiatku.
Prvá skupina ktorú sme videli boli nemci In Extremo, na ktorých som sa veľmi tešil. Koncert bol naozaj veľmi vydarený, škoda len že hitovku, a moju obľúbenú od nich - Frei zu sein dali tak skoro, už druhú v poradí. Ale aj tak koncert len gradoval, dali aj asi ich najznámejšiu - Volmond a už pri konci to vyvrcholilo perfektnou Flaschenpost, doplnené skvelou ohnivou show. Títo folk-metalisti naozaj nesklamali. Nasledovali Rage tiež z Nemecka, na tých sme sa išli ale postaviť do rady na autogram od Nightwishou, žiaľ neúspešne, ľudia sa tam tlačili zo všetkých strán a tak sme veľa šancí nemali, išli sme si aspoň obsadiť čo najlepšie miesto na vytúžený dlhoočakávaný koncert. …

This is a couple of old live-reviews that I found on my computer. They are all written during 2007. I haven't really read them through, so I don't really remember what they say and if they are worth posting here at all. Actually I think that they're quite badly written. I wasn't that old back then, haha. But it feels good to have everything here on last.fm, so I'll post them anyway. They are all in swedish though..


Iced Earth - Tyrol, Gröna Lund - 25/9-07
Vi missade första förbandet, Turisas, på Iced Earth-konserten för att de hade tidigarelagt allt. Det var lite synd. Jag hann se den sista medlemmen gå av scenen iallafall... Annihilator var riktigt bra, bättre än på skiva tycker jag nästan, och de imponerade med ovanligt bra körsånger. Iced Earth var sjukt bra! Jag har aldrig hört de gamla låtarna med den nya sångaren men han imponerade rejält och nu är jag nästan osäker på om Barlow verkligen är bättre än Owens... De var riktigt bra iallfall. Låtarna de körde var:
