Should've seen Kreator last night, but a wall collapsed at my local train station causing widespread cancellations, so couldn't get there :'( That sucks, I just got back from Kreator/Sepultura, it was an awesome show. |

Wouldn't expect anything less from those two. Even with Kreator's mostly stale/predictable setlist choices (although "Total Death" and "Under the Guillotine" =  ) I'm sure they would have killed. |

Was thinking why does everything finish at 5pm, but read it upside down. Each day finishes up early hours. |

Seeing Testament/Sepultura/Prong on saturday, that'll be my first big show of the year. Also have tix to see Opeth/Gojira/Devin Townsend and Diamond Head next month, U2 and Megadeth/Meshuggah/Tesseract in june, Avenged Sevenfold/Volbeat and Metallica/Avenged Sevenfold/Volbeat in july, one lineup of Yes in august, and Epica/Lacuna Coil/Insomnium and a different lineup of Yes in september.
Animals As Leaders are playing in my city next month and Slayer/Lamb of God are going to be playing about and hour and a half from me in july so i'm also considering those, but I don't know if i'll be able to afford em with all these other shows i'm going to. Alice Cooper/Deep Purple are playing in my city later this year as well, but it's only a day or two after I see Yes so I probably won't be able to swing leaving work early twice in one week.

I'm mainly going for Insomnium, but I enjoy Epica enough to stick around for their set. I've been dying to see Insomnium for a while so i'm a bit bummed they're finally coming relatively close to me as an opening act, but i'll take what I can get. |

Going to see The Dillinger Escape Plan tonight.
Kinda weird to think this gig would have never happened if their tour bus didn't crash a couple of months ago, they weren't scheduled to play Ireland on their original European tour.

Engel You not going to see Marilyn Manson? Or have I got you mixed up with someone else who is a fan?

Post by Engel on Jun 10, 2017 18:34:38 GMT
Must have me mixed up with someone else I think. I quite liked his stuff back in the day but was not a huge fan. Saw him play live with Rammstein few years back at the big German music awards - Echo - and eek.. it was not good. However, I am sure he will put on a show.
You going?

Post by lordcatfish on Jun 10, 2017 18:55:30 GMT
I am yeah. Saw him a few years ago and he was quite good, not great but thankfully not the trainwreck I'd seen on a few vids beforehand. He was one of the first artists I ever really got in to, so I think I'm partly clinging to the hope that he'll recapture the spirit of his glory days.

Last night, I saw Rammstein for the first time ever. I've been a fan since 1999, so this was long overdue. The setlist was the standard one for this tour, but it was so very awesome. The opening number Ramm4 works perfectly as a concert opener, although I'm not sure how it would fare on an album. After that, it was basically a superb song after another. High points for me included Halleluja, Zerstören, Mein Herz Brennt and Sonne. The lighting and the pyrotechnics were beyond fantastic. I've never seen such a production at a concert. In addition, I don't think I've ever been at a gig where the band sounded as good as Rammstein did.
All in all, 6/5, would Ramm again!

Post by jokk1 on Jun 11, 2017 17:06:00 GMT
I'm pretty much a tourist here as well :D
Helsinki Cathedral (at Senate Square), the Esplanade Park and the Market Square are all in close proximity to each other and well worth a visit. I love the Kaivopuisto Park, it's by the sea about 1,5 km from the Market Square.
Suomenlinna Sea Fortress is a popular attraction, ferries run every 20 minutes from the market square.
I would also recommend walking to Töölönlahti bay, you'll see the parliament building on the way there and the Finlandia Hall there.
