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.

Papa Roach & Filter

Location: Gasometer, Industriegebiet Erdberg, Guglgasse 12, 1110 Vienna, Austria
I admit, I go there because of Filter. And eventually it's worth it because of Filter...



Buddies: Harald, Tom and friends
Score: 3 out of 5
Merchandise: Filter Tour T-Shirt
Another gig? Yes, of Filter as a main act (or of Papa Roach with my kids ;-) 

I feel quite old in the young crowd that certainly came for Papa Roach. At the back of the auditorium, at the bar, there are some very young kids sitting and maybe watching one of their first gigs (leaving me wonder whether once I would be able to do the same with my kids :-). If I compare this to MY first gig (below - ggg).

As a 'real' support act, Filter do not play that long. They are still able to communicate their distinct power I particularly like of Filter. Surprisingly, they do not play a single song of their recent album 'Soldiers of Misfortune' - strange, this album is not that bad at all (for example 'The Wake' is just a great song).

What shall I tell of Papa Roach? They leave no impression to me. Highly enthusiastic crowd, for me, this music is near-to-boring. I even had listened into the music, but sorry guys, I am no fan of you.

More to follow here...
