A Word

***Wacken 2018 - view from the Jägermeister Deer

Live gigs are essential. Remembering them is sometimes even more fun (but writing tedious ;-). Short stories about great gigs - and the others as well. This is strictly non-commercial and just my humble taste/opinion.

Marilyn Manson II (sort of)

Location: Wiener Stadthalle, 1150 Vienna, Austria
That is no longer the Marilyn Manson from the Antichrist Superstar days. That's more of a Hollywood show. This is not entirely bad news, the songs are still good and live from Mr. Manson's distinctive voice. But it's no longer raw power, it's much more show.


Buddies: Tom (Sabine and Michael were there as well)
Score: 3 out of 5

Merchandize: Tour T- Shirt
Another Gig? rather not

Wolfmother

Location: Freiluft-Arena, Industriegebiet Erdberg, 1030 Vienna, Ausria
A summer concert of a brilliant live band in Open Air Arena. It only can be perfect. Wolfmother, still a classical rock trio, with only one CD in their tourbus. It was brilliant.


Buddies: Frantischek, Tom
Score: 5 out of 5
Another Gig? Maybe (they no longer exist as a trio...)

Detailed review to follow.

Nine Inch Nails

Location: Wiener Gasometer, Industriegebiet Erdberg, Guglgasse 12, 1110 Vienna, Austria
Finally the gig I've been waiting for so long. NIN captured me entirely since "Pretty Hate Machine", so a gig was a must. Big drawback: just got tickets for the galleries - OMG! Can this work out?


Buddies: Frantischek (thanks mate for arranging the ticket)
Score: 4 out of 5
Merchandize: Tour T-Shirt in military green

Another Gig: Any time, without doubt.
