Oh my Gods!

Hell yeah! The Gods of Metal 2009 this year was held in my city, and of course, like a good journalist I had no choice but to go there. I mean, how could I call myself a journalist if I were not to go to such a great event in my own city? Obviously it was all about work, it's not like I've been waiting for the Gods of Metal to come here for 10 years

One hell of a concert: 2 different stages, the whole day of Metal. Surprisingly good the opening by Black Dahlia Murder... I never really liked them, but they performed damn good, a lot better than Static X and Cynic which followed them.

It sucks that Saxon defected, no one knows why, so Tarja got more time to perform. I don't like her solo career... but when she started "Whishmaster" I had no choice but to run to the stage. She still can use her voice, gotta give her that.

Blind Guardian played great: Hansi Kursch (typo, damn german vocalist) was a completely different person than the last time he performed here. He's almost deaf, but he did some great shit, I didn't even hope for something that good.

But really... I had to change my mind on Dream Theater... I always considered them annoying narcysist guys, but shit... they performed the whole "awake" ablum (15 years anniversary from the realease of that album) and didn't make a single mistake. They cut off the boring parts with endless solos and technical stuff and made a real hell of live show. I'm usually bored when I can't sing/scream nor fight/push/pull/hit and all stuff I don't know how to translate properly that people do during metal live show, but I really had no choice but to clap my hands when they finished.

Slipknot ended the event... they sucked, but that's nothing new. It was impossible to understand what song they were playing, and looking at 9 people doing what 4 of them could easily do... well, it's annoying. Oh, well, I don't really like them anyway

The only thing I didn't like about this Gods of Metal was the ridiculous number of 14 years old. I mean, what the hell? Get out of here, this is not the place for you! Too bad all slipnkot fans are that young.

Indeed a great event, lots of beer and music... music and beer... and surprisingly a high number of hot chicks... well, they shouldn't be there, like 14 years old kids... but I didn't find them annoying at all
