12:33 - Languedocian

Exactly ... We're living in the tail end of the golden era of metal. These bands won't return when they're gone!

11:56 - InnerSelf

Do it! I have never regretted seeing a favorite band of mine even at the cost of sleep

11:54 - IronAngel

Nightime Birds is even better, IMO. And Souvenirs is an all-time favorite. I'm sitting here watching live videos on YouTube, debating whether I should go or not. A few hours to decide. Not sure four hours of sleep is worth it. :D

11:49 - InnerSelf

I must admit, i have never properly listened to The Gathering. I love Annekes voice though so i put on Mandylion today on Spotify and listened through. Such a beautiful album!

10:47 - ForestsAlive

I see a lot of people from NL here, if anyone is interested in joining a band (album ready to be released), please contact me

20:03 - no one

@Chidder ok maybe my experience wasn't so bad

16:25 - Ivor

I wish I hadn't missed the Nijmegen gigs last year, though.
