Hellfest 2013: The Bands I Saw... And It Was Worth It !
Okay guys, Hellfest 2013 was awesome, and it's time to share with you the whole bands I saw during these 3 days of full Metal music...
Ordered by my preference, I will add my comment on each about…
Ordered by my preference, I will add my comment on each about…
| 1. | Twisted Sister - For me, the best show I had the chance to see during these 3 days ! I was not an ultimate fan of TS, but 2 things made this concert so memorable in my opinion: First of all, there are to many hymns !!!! You can't go to a TS concert and pretend to know anything from them... And the band knows it, and make you sing those hymns until you can't use your voice anymore ! And secondly, this famous man, Dee, he has such a presence and aura on stage, when he sings, talks, makes jokes, moves, so that everything he tells you to make you move, you do it ! |
| 2. | Avantasia - For their first concert in France. Avantasia showed us what a real show should be like. 12 people playing together, from 4 to 8 guest vocalists of great talent, from Biff Byford to Eric Martin, Bob Catley, and also with Tobias Sammet, who surprised me with all the energy he gave from his entry on stage to the end of the concert. (Concert which carry on 50 minutes more than the shedulded time, despite the many warnings from the Hellfest crew, that seemed to piss off Tobias). And then we have the show, the songs, and everything that go with it; the whole set is really powerful live, and the different musicians are really here to have fun. And most of all, the great Tobias is completely enjoying his show, talking to the public between each song, laughing, making joke with the other members... I will always remember Avantasia as one of the greatest show I have ever seen ! |
| 3. | Vektor - Here was my first war machine !!!! 3 years that I was waiting and they finally came here to play their first concert in Europe... And it was what I call a Thrash Metal concert ! Crazy riffs, speedy guitar solos, David Disanto's voice (Nothing to add^^) this young band made me feel like if I was in the 80's, discovering one of those crazy new Metal band, coming from "nowhere" and slashing our head with their really amazing thrash music. My head and heart almost explode when I heard the first note of Black Future, and with (almost) no alcohol in my veins, I nevertheless headbanged during these whole 40 minutes of show ! |
| 4. | Helloween - 1 hour of great show, 1 hour of great songs, 1 hour of Helloween ! And that's not the crowd which would say the opposite; About 30 000 people claping hands during "I Want Out", or singing together with Andi ! Because it was a real metal show, with amazing musicians, that gave everything, from Löble behind his drums to Andi Deris on the mic. I heard that he has not the power of Kai in his voice, but whatever, live, he is a real frontman ! (Sadly no encore with Kai as a guest to hear some f*cking Gamma Ray ^^). Regarding the tracklist, not a lot to say: I Want Out, Eagle Fly Free, If I could Fly, Straight Out Of Hell, Dr. Stein, Waiting For The Thunder, and so on... You can't take any break because you have no time for it: you are flooded with hits !! These 1 hour were like 10 minutes, and so it was: I saw Helloween live ! |
| 5. | Ghost B.C. - Last show of the Hellfest, and I was waiting for it !! The band is really increasing its amount of fans, so that the show was moved to the main stage 2, and also took place instead of the Danzig's one, which finally occured in the afternoon. For my biggest pleasure ! After an intro with the disturbing "Eyes wide Shut"'s song, which put the show into his context, we had the chance to enjoy an almost 2 hours high quality show, with great musicians and frontman. (despite some technical problems at the end of the concert...) The band played almost all of its 2 albums, and there was nothing to throw away ! Ending with Monstrance Clock, you clearly realize that the show is ending up, but you don't care because you're happy after this great concert ! |
