Thursday was the first night
and we managed to catch parts of Björk,
Chicks on Speed and Gothminister. The latter
was so hard to get into, because there were
so many people there. Good concert.
Saturday started with Colony 5 (picture). |
|
 |
| Most of the people from Oslo
showed up at this concert |
|
 |
| In the beginning they sounded
terrible, but it got a bit better as the concert
went along. Good concert all in all, and you
could see people were really having a wonderful
time dancing and smiling. |
|
 |
| DAF was cancelled, and HIM
was moved from Apollo to Vintergatan (main
stage) and played earlier than planned. So
we ended up hearing HIM from the beer tent,
and they sound as awful live as they've done
before. Get back to the studio guys! And stay
there! |
|
 |
| Ministry played at Vintergatan
also just before midnight. And that was an
entire different concert. Though the singer
looked like Axl Rose for some weird reason,
the music was absolutely to my satisfaction.
And of course when they played "So What"
I had to sing along. |
|
 |
| Ministry has a very metallic
feel to the sound, more so live than the studio
material, and it's almost like listening to
very heavy music with the bass turned off.
Strange, but not bad in any way really. It
was a fun concert and I had to get back to
camp to rest afterwards after dancing so much. |
|
 |
| Someone who hasn't turned their
bass off is Soulfly. |
|
 |
| It was absolutely the best
concert of this festival. Of course, I didn't
see that many concerts, but I am sure a vast
majority will agree with me. |
|
 |
| From the first song the people
in front was thrashing around and jumping
like crazy. Fists in the air and screaming
"SOULFLY SOULFLY SOULFLY" on command. |
|
 |
| They played a great concert.
I saw them in Oslo in January this year, but
that concert was NOTHING compared to this
riot. |
|
 |
| One of the coolest songs live
are of course "Tribe". Playing his
weird instrument in the beginning, followed
by beating of drums that makes your skin crawl.
There's just something SO fundamental about
those drums that goes straight to your heart,
stomach and feet. |
|
 |
| It is impossible to stand still
at a Soulfly concert. Before you know it you're
stamping your feet, shaking your ass and nodding
your head and singing "back to the primitive..fuck
all your politics.." |
|
 |
| Though the music is more than
enough to get people going crazy, Max and
Marcello try their very best to get the audience
into a frenzy by shouting Soulfly every fifth
minute and encouring to both jumping and clapping
you hands to pieces. And it's fuuuun! |
|
 |
| Now this is how you treat a
crowd...and your instruments. Whoooooha! Sorry..I
mean...SOOOOOOUUUULFLYYYY! |
