Fun Stuff > BAND
You people go to shows, right? What future shows are you excited about?
imagist42:
starfucker was pretty tight, I kind of wished they took a break from all the danceable songs and played a poppy one or two, but it was still a good time
also, scored two free tickets to see pinback tomorrow night! it was kind of spur-of-the-moment and it's in the city about forty miles away so I have to find a ride/show buddy, but I am kind of excited
Mr. Doctor:
Warning, large post.

The lineup is just too good.

Hell yeah I saw them.... I couldn't see their entire set because of the train I had to take but I saw around an hour. Their intro was very bad imo. I was impatient and just one guy getting to the scene every 3 minutes kind of pissed me off, specially since what they were doing wasn't really that good, I was SOOOO close to get out of there when suddenly they started playing for real and I was like "well... Next time guys, skip the intro and play crushing music right from the start!" I forgot about the annoying and long intro and everything went awesome from there. Fucking heavy stuff.
Bands I saw (in order):
Day one: Alcest, Ghost, Blood Farmers, Today Is The Day, Godflesh (their entire streetcleaner) and Count Raven
Day Two:Keiji Haino (This was just horrible...), Aluk Todolo (Biggest discovery for me, didn't knew anything about them... Brilliant), Trap Them, Winter, Earth, Sunn O)))... The last bands too see were either Scorn or The Secret, I saw both for a couple of minutes but the sound wasn't interesting so I left after earlier.
Day Three: Candlemass (played a regular set and also their entire Epicus Doomicus Metallicus with their original vocalist from that album,Johan Längqvist and also met him and talked to him, Leif Edling and Robert Lowe very very nice guys, cool to talk swedish with someone for a change, got an autograph by all three as well ... You can't get more epic than that), Evoken (Holy shit they used the entire Begotten movie as a projection for their music, fucking brilliant and crushing stuff), Voivod, Shrinebuilder (the bass was waaaaay too loud but it was cool to see them anyway) and Swans...
Sooo... This was my first festival ever, a nice first time, eh?! I sooo want to continue with this, Roadburn was too good to miss for other festivals, the atmosphere is nice, all the people are nice, I like the fact that there aren't so many people (Probably around 2000 or 3000), got nice cds and t-shirts for a very low price... I guess I was one of the youngest though with my 19 years XD

why would you wish that?
Lummer:
Alcest, Ludicra and Solbrud tonight.
I am fully expecting this to be the greatest thing ever.
Vuk:
So jealous of Mr. Doctor right now. I saw Alcest on their last tour though - it was dark and they lit candles around the place, plus they went pretty crazy with the smoke machine, so it was pretty unreal in terms of atmosphere. Pretty spot-on performance-wise too.
