Motörhead's Wacken Open Air Performance Cut Short Due To Lemmy's Health
❤️ Click here: Motorhead wacken 2013
Part of the reason was my own fault — there is a sound bleed issue between Black stage and Party stage, but I was stood in an area where it was particularly bad. Further growth would create demands that could not be satisfied.

Motörhead Concert Setlist at Wacken Open Air 2014 on August 1, 2014 - Looking at the forecast, it was due to rain a bit on the Wednesday and Thursday, and there could be a storm on the Friday.
Wacken 2013 concluded on Saturday and once again, it was an excellent festival. This festival was going to be a unique one in that it was the first festival I was going to by myself. One of my major concerns before going to the festival was what the weather would be like. Looking at the forecast, it was due to rain a bit on the Wednesday and Thursday, and there could be a storm on the Friday. I left for the festival last Wednesday, so it seems an appropriate place to start there. My journey to Wacken started at 3. I departed for Hamburg from Heathrow Terminal 1. After a Wetherspoons breakfast and a stroll around the terminal, it was time to go through security. In my line for security, the alarms went off for one of the blokes ahead of me in the queue which of course got staff on the security line interested. It was at this point that I was in duty free and wanted to spend a lot of money. There is very little to report from this stage of the journey motorhead wacken 2013 than the flight from London to Hamburg was a smooth one. Outside Hamburg Central Train Station, I was approached by a couple of English speaking people asking if they had the right train ticket to get to Itzehoe they did. I saw them again later on the train when they told me they were from Canada and were celebrating their honeymoon with a month long tour around Europe. What an awesome thing to do for a honeymoon. Anyway, this travelling was all really simple as well but quick as well. The times of the various trains worked out really well for me. Before long, I was on the bus from Itzehoe to Wacken. Amongst maybe 8-10 people drank nearly a whole 700ml bottle of Chivas Regal whisky which is impressive considering the bus journey is little more than 30mins. There were many stories told but the one which has stuck with me was a guy who was on the bus who flew to Hamburg from Australia without a ticket motorhead wacken 2013 spent the night on the Reeperbahn. I recall thinking that was motorhead wacken 2013 brave move considering ticket personalisation that was introduced this year more on that later but also, flying from Australia to Hamburg is a massive flight. To do that without a ticket sorted is crazy. In a really small world moment, there was another couple on the bus from Canada on their honeymoon. The arrival at motorhead wacken 2013 festival was met with a loud cheer. I stepped off the bus on to the familiar stones and it felt good to have arrived at the festival. I looked around and noticed there was nowhere to collect wristbands from. After strolling about a bit looking lost, I headed to the main entrance. I figured, if they ask where my wristband is, I can explain the situation and get one then. However my ticket was motorhead wacken 2013 and I was in the festival. I decided to get set up and then go and get a wristband. I put my tent up in the same spot I had for the last couple of years and headed off to get a wristband. Eventually I ended up in the right area and got a wristband sorted out. After that it was motorhead wacken 2013 plain sailing really. I had planned to watch bands from the moment I was set up until they finished that day, but it was significantly hotter than motorhead wacken 2013, so I opted instead to buy a festival shirt and go for a lie down at the tent before doing anything else. After motorhead wacken 2013 nap, I headed off back to the Wackinger Village to watch some of motorhead wacken 2013 Metal Battle band winners from around the world. If I still needed to wake up at this point, and I probably still did, then Kill With Hate 6 were just the band for the job. One of the great things about the Metal Battle sets is they are only 20mins long. As were the next band, Midnight Scream 7. Count To Six 8 blasted through their 20min set and it was an excellent showing. Trallery 6 were another good band but the best band of the day for me was from India. You could tell to a degree how much it meant, being on a Wacken stage, to these bands, but Devoid attacked what I imagine to be their biggest show to date with such passion that it was just obvious how important this show was to them. These band ratings are based on my own personal enjoyment of a band, not what I actually think of them. Well, usually that is the case but when it comes to Utopium 3it is both. The next band really shocked me. Not because they were amazingly good or rubbish for the record, they were alrightbut they bought their whole stage show with them — for a motorhead wacken 2013 set. They had dancers, knights, pyro — all sorts of stuff going on. They somewhat reminded be a bit of Turisas. The final band I saw were Karma Zero 5 from France. All weekend they had adverts on the big screen for their huge tour of Germany later this year. I walked by as they were playing a song and it sounded quite good. I departed from the general area as next up in the tent was Mambo Kurt, who did nothing for me in 2011 and Masters of Comedy, which was in German and thus lost of me. I called it a day at that point. The first day of the festival proper was here and it started for me just after midday. On my walk to the Wackinger Village, I saw someone with a potato on a string, as if it was being taking out for a walk. Bit of an odd one but it was something that would reappear throughout the course of the weekend. I had planned to arrive at the Bullhead Circus tent to miss Russkaja 6 but ended up catching their last song. Anyway, I enjoyed that one song and wondered if I could fit in seeing them again over the course of the weekend. After Russkaja, I saw four more bands who were in the Metal Battle motorhead wacken 2013. These were La Chudra 7Behold The Grave 8Rotten Souls 6 and Gnida 4. Before heading into the arena or Holy Land as it is calledI watched some of a band called Mandowar 7 on the Beer Garden stage. They were a country covers band that reminded me of Hayseed Dixie in some ways. What I do know though is that they were very enjoyable. The first band that was on one of the main stages was the Wacken house band, Skyline 7. They also did a set full of covers but that is because they do not have their own material. Some of the covers that made up their set this year included Strong Arm Of The Law SaxonTurbo Lover Judas PriestParanoid Black SabbathKashmir Led ZeppelinT. Up next on the Black stage was Annihilator 10 who delivered an hour of flawless thrash metal. Their set was just immense and their new material sounds superb. Thunder 8 followed them and were excellent. They pretty much played the same set from Download 2013 with two added motorhead wacken 2013. The first of the two big hitters of the night were then on. They recorded an album from this set though and in it, was Highway Star as the opener. I was delighted with that. It was great to hear some of their classics live. The new album sounds pretty decent as well. When seeing them in England, you have people singing to what they can, and some people guessing at the rest myself included at times. In Germany, it is completely different given that they are a German band that sings, unsurprisingly, in German. The show was identical to Download aside from two things. Motorhead wacken 2013 teased playing the song Rammstein, which was cool. They also had a special guest during Sonne — someone called Heino. I have no idea who he was, and he seemed to get a reasonable reaction from the crowd. The people stood in front of me, who had enjoyed the whole set, were very unhappy with him being there. They turned their backs to the stage and held up middle fingers. After a bit of research, it appears he is a very famous pop star in Germany, but could well have far right wing sympathies. Rammstein were the last band of the day and they kicked off the festival in a solid way. Before this day started, I made a number of changes to where I was going to spend the day. I had planned to be constantly moving between the Holy Land and the Bullhead Circus tent, but it was blisteringly hot, and I wanted to be as near as possible to the water point in the main arena. This meant finding a gap in my schedule to watch a full set by Russkaja 8. Tristania 6 were the first band on the True Metal stage and they were alright. Truth be told I found myself getting bored during their set and waiting for the next band. I also found myself losing track of bands members as some disappeared for different songs. I saw Gojira 9 in a small venue in my home town a few years ago and they were superb. They were even better on the Black stage at Wacken. Up next were the black-metal looking power metal motorhead wacken 2013, Powerwolf 8. They then broke into the power metal Motorhead wacken 2013 was expecting and all was well. They had a really good set. The lead singer had a rock on a bit of string. I wondered if the person I saw the previous day with a potato on a string was trying to imitate him. Up next was Ihsahn 6 who had a really small crowd. I was shocked about that. During this set, I saw a different person with a potato on a string. I also saw someone dressed in a vest similar to the one the lead singer of Sabaton wears. Why are you wearing extra clothing. I will recommend to anyone to go see him speak. His talks are inspirational, informative, emotional and funny. He said he loves coming to festivals like Wacken so with any luck, he will be back again next year. I headed back to the Holy Land after Rollins for more main acts and on my way out of the Wackinger Village, I saw a guy with a broken leg being dragged out the village on a sack motorhead wacken 2013. When back in the arena, Pretty Maids 7 were finishing off their set on the True Metal stage and sounded pretty decent. I was back though for one reason and that was to see Soilwork 5. I was very happy when they got announced for the festival and actually felt a tad disappointed. Part of the reason was my own fault — there is a sound bleed issue between Black stage and Party stage, but I was stood in an area where it was particularly bad. I also felt the Party stage was quieter this year than in previous years. I could hear the band on Black stage and decided to go check them out. This was a good decision as Agnostic Front 8 were superb. They finished their set with a cover of Britzkrieg Bop by The Ramones which went down very well. They seemed to end their set early which was a shame, but I enjoyed what I saw of them. One of the highlights of the day for me anyway was up next. Sabaton 10 were announced to a huge cheer in 2012 and they did not disappoint. At one point, the lead singer changed vests with someone in the crowd. I wondered if it was the same bloke I saw earlier wearing a similar vest. Sabaton seemed genuinely blown away by how many people had come to watch them and the reaction they were getting. Up next was a moment of sadness and worry really. There was no word on a replacement from Wacken until eventually; they said that Motorhead were still playing. It turns out that was not a very good move. They played slower than usual. Lemmy went off stage after the 5 th song, when Phil Campbell improvised with a solo. The festival organiser came out and told everyone to applaud Motorhead for coming and doing their best. Some people looked upset, and others looked downright angry. I was annoyed as well, not because Motorhead wacken 2013 felt short changed or anything, but because it meant I could now hear Corvus Corax Meets Wadakyo 4. In all seriousness though, they probably had a month to book a replacement — they should have. The final band of the day for me was a celebration. Doro 10 was celebrating her 30 th anniversary of being active in the rock circuit. I could also hear the set almost clear as day from where I was camped which was good. She had a number of special guests come out including the lead singer of Grave Digger, Biff Byford of Saxon, Uli Jon Roth and others. It was a superb set and a great way to celebrate your anniversary. I was a bit sad to miss Grave Digger as I had been looking forward to them before the festival, but I was just too tired. When I first emerged from the tent, the day was cooler and there was some cloud cover. I thought this meant we were in for a cooler final day of Wacken. A set packed with the best off all their albums, they really got the crowd singing and dancing along with them. The worst clash of the festival for me was between Sonata Arctica, who lost motorhead wacken 2013, and Lamb of God 9. Anyway, Lamb of God are a quality live band and this set was them at their best. I was surprised when they came out for two reasons. I was surprised about the size of their crowd. I was also surprised at the response when Randy Blythe came out on stage. Back to the point that matters though, they were superb. Before this point of the weekend, while I had been at Wacken, the weather had been pretty much glorious. I was genuinely concerned about sunburn at this point as well after my sun spray got thrown away. I saw a big grey cloud loom over Wacken and thought a little rain might be quite nice. I was prepared for that eventuality — I had a hoodie and a poncho with me. What happened was quite amazing. It hammered it down with rain for about 40-45mins. It must have been fairly close to the rain we got during Kamelot during Wacken 2012. After Lamb of God left the stage, the sun shined again and I once again was worried about sunburn. As a result of this, several large puddles appeared. Anthrax 10 had the unenviable task of entertaining a soaked through Wacken crowd but they absolutely killed it. The set was packed with newer songs, classic hits and cover versions including a superb version of T. Devildriver 8 were the last band of the weekend I saw on the Party stage and they were very good. I cannot agree with that after this set — I thought they were excellent. That aside though, they had a great set. Next up on the True Metal Stage was one of my favourite bands when they played in 2011 and that is Trivium 8. They in my mind had a lot to live up to but they were never going to achieve it - not least because I was motorhead wacken 2013 down towards the back just enjoying the music. I thought they were good and enjoyed the new song they demoed. There was something missing to make it as good as the 2011 set but it was still really very good. The final two bands of the festival were just stunning. It was the perfect way to close Wacken 2013 in my eyes. This is such a good show and he is just an excellent performer. The band is a tight live unit which really helps. Then Nightwish 10 came out and were better. I will say this now, I truly hope Floor Jansen remains with Nightwish — she is an excellent front woman and did a fantastic job on all of the Nightwish material. They also used a lot of pyro, which I just love. I walked around the arena blown away by how good it was - an excellent way to end Wacken 2013. I motorhead wacken 2013 to get up early so I could be at the airport as quickly as I could be to have a shower. I was very aware of my own presence after 4. I was awoken from my slumber at about 5. That was a tad earlier than I wanted to wake but what the hell. I tried to fall back to sleep but others started yelling so I just decided to get up. After going for a quick walk and declining joining strangers for a beer hey, it was 5. I got packed and left. My day would then be mostly travel based but I got my times sorted so well that I ended up spending about 7. The first announcement of bands has convinced me to go. Until then, this has been Wacken 2013 in a large, over 4,500 word nutshell. Roll on Wacken 2014 — rain or shine!.

Anyway, I enjoyed that one song and wondered if I could fit in seeing them again over the course of the weekend. It's a great collection of bands from the festival and give you a feel for the festival. There was something missing to make it as good as the 2011 set but it was still really very good. Eventually I ended up in the right area and got a wristband sorted out. I could also hear the set almost clear as day from where I was camped which was good.
