WHAT AN AMAZING NIGHT!
Yes, I would be on the right in that photo, thank you for your concern.
Got a pick, drumstick and setlist from Eden's Curse, bottle of water from Strato and of course alot of great memories. The photo with Gus G completed the night I think! Firewind easily got the most energy out of the crowd as I think half the crowd there went just to see them. I was amazed at how many people knew the words to Strato's/Firewind's songs, didn't think they had such a large fanbase here. I guess I was wrong.

Hey I recognise you. I was to your right through the whole gig wearing a Cork t-shirt... when everyone else was doing the 'one more tune' bit my mates were the ones shouting 'aul wan's horse'. At least I think thats what happened... I was in an awful state... great gig.
Went to Bruxelles after and guess who struts in but Stratovarius and Firewind in their entirety... I had good long conversations with them. They're all mad sound. The bassist is really wise and the keyboardist is a bit mental. He said he wasn't happy with his solo! I'm pretty sure some guys from Eden's Curse were there as well. Anyway, I got absolutely hammered with Stratovarius, got McDonald's afterwards and that's all that matters.0 -

Barry (Passenger) and I were in there too.
Amazing gig! I got to meet Firewind, got them to autograph a CD, and I got photos with Bob and Gus G. I got a kiss from Bob too, oh yeah!!
Awesome pics man, nice work!0 -

Thanks.
Where were you sitting? Me and a mate were sitting at the bar, but I didn't really notice anyone else that looked like they were going to the gig except for a group of middle aged men at the back (wearing power metal shirts).
By the sounds of it you had a blast anyway. I was really surprised at how good it was to be honest. I really enjoyed Firewind even though I didn't know any of their stuff and of course Stratovarius were great too.0 -

You're welcome.
We were at the top of the stairs, just across from the bar.
I loved Firewind, they were savage. They should have been headlining that gig, to be fair. Stratovarius were good too.

Ok explain how they are better then.
Aye most people were there for Firewind because they're the latest hip Rock magazine promoted act of the past couple of years and all the kids know them. All the Metalheads, Musicians, and older crowd who appreciate their music were generally there for Stratovarius. The only people I talked to who were there for Firewind were the Teenies. Did you see their rhythm section?? Lauri Porra alone was worth the admission.
To say they are 'a million times better' is pretty puerile isn't it? Now I'm waiting for you to back up your statement. I love people who make fatuous statements like that as it really highlights their musical credibility, or lack of, and 'this band is better than that band' statements are really an exercise in futility. So there Cathy. :P0 -

That's rich, coming from the man who doesn't like Manowar because they have big muscles. :rolleyes: I prefer Firewind to Stratovarius. I like both bands, but in my humble opinion, Firewind are far superior.
Judging a band, not on their musical ability, but on their appearance, well that says a lot about your music credibility...or lack thereof
So there Barry 0 -

Because we all know how how cerebral Manowar's songwriting is. I just have trouble digesting their highbrow and sophisticated lyrical content. Their complex labyrinthine compositions just go over my head.
And btw I've never dismissed Manowar on their appearance, just their music.:rolleyes: Why would I? They're hunks.:o
You're such a sarcastic little sh!t. We've had this conversation on many drunken Saturday nights. It always finishes the same way too - "smoke?" :pac:
Clearly your idea of a hunk, and my idea of a hunk, are two completely different things! :P 0 -
