Så som det ser ud pt. bliver det ganske spændende at følge bl.a. hvilke bands der kommer til Roskilde Festival (Ministry, Apocalyptica, Trivium, Behemoth, Overkill, Hatebreed, Suicide Silence fra Tuska Open Air og Nightwish, Manowar og Amon Amarth fra Getaway Rock Festival måske?) og Copenhell til sommer!

Personligt tager jeg (og Weiss) til Wacken Open Air, og det er klart anbefalelsesværdigt! Tænk Roskilde Festival-stemning FØR de overproportionerede teenage technofester indtog campingområdet! Det er fantastisk. Og så bliver det jo ganske fedt at se DANSKE Volbeat headline verdens største metalfestival! Udover det så er et kærkomment gensyn med Machine Head og Amon Amarth jo aldrig noget man kan sige nej til!
Copenhell bliver også fantastisk at vende tilbage til, om ikke andet for at opleve mine personlige helte LAMB OF GOD i aktion! Alt fedt udover dem er bare glasur – glasur i spandevis! Mastodon, Marilyn Manson, Slayer, Immortal, Killswitch.. Shit, vi kan jo sagtens herhjemme!
