Your concerts for 2013

[?]

Mladen, are you gonna go see Riverside, or Anathema in April?

Don't forget to request Lovelorn Rhapsody at the Anathema gig!

[Mladen]

Yeah, we're bound to meet at one of them... and take a very weirdly angled pictured for le DTF because I am shorter than John Myung and you are taller than Kevin Moore

We have to do this and laugh our asses off.

Make it look like Milena is taller

I don't think that's physically possible, unless someone grabs me and lifts me up really high

No one beats Slayer..... I've already seen them twice and can't get enough, even though they'll most likely be touring with John Dette. Doesn't matter! I already have a ticket to Tvornica 

[MrBoom_shack-a-lack]

Iron Maiden and Bon Jovi so far.

I was at their show last year, too and it was great but I'm not going if Lombardo os not behind the drums.
I will attend Satriani's and Maiden's show (can't wait).

Well, if you decide to miss on Lombardoless Slayer, Riverside makes awesome atmorphere https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJtb9qS5cos

[Tomislav95]

Riverside was one of my favorite bands but I stopped listening to them for few month (for unknown reason) and really like their new album(listened to it entirely just twice) so I will probaby attend their show (if Lombardo don't come back).

Hm, and I might hop on the Satriani train, especially as I'd like to see Minnemann once again  Finally great concerts in my village  I especially like the Meshuggah gig which is going to be on 29th April as they're touring with Decapitated and Animals as leaders, it'll be an interesting evening!

Whenever I read this thread I curse my birthplace... 

[philmcson]

Che cosa vuoi, sei nato all'Italia!!!!? 

[wasteland]

Che cosa vuoi, sei nato all'Italia!!!!? 

Oh, this creeped me out, despite the little mistake at the end. 

The problem is not Italy (well, it is too, but that's not the point of this particular cursing). The problem is, as you know, that living in the big island in the middle of the sea, it is always very expensive and never straightforward to attend gigs in the continent (the way we call the rest of Italy). Matter of fact, I have only managed to do it once, after several months of careful thinking and organization.

[MoraWintersoul]

Once you move you'll be in a far better position than us folks from the Balkans, as tours swing by Italy more often than Croatia or Serbia, so

[Tomislav95]

DT is in Italy few times a year but they obviosly don't like us.They were in Croatia just once, in 2007 (on my birthday - it's a sign) and I didn't listening to them. But if they don't come this year I'll catch them on European tour in neighbour countries.

Damn. Well, I had Italian at school (liceo) but obviously I've forgotten something over the years 
Yes, I got you. Well, if you have any plan of moving to Rome or Milano it'll be just as Milena said, you'll be better off than most of us folks, although I'm sure you have your particular reasons for staying on the island....

This has been so far (and will be) a great concert year for Croatia, except that Burning Sea Festival has been cancelled (in its prior form). It could well happen..... DT announcing a gig in Croatia...... we'll see 

[carl320]

Looks like Fates Warning is coming through on tour later this year.  So that makes two shows (including the Pain of Salvation show).

Someone from work asked if I'd be interested in seeing Fear Factory when they come through; still thinking about that one.

[jonnybaxy]

Going watching the stranglers tonight 

[King Postwhore]

Flashback to the 80's!!


Seeing The Fixx tonight in a 300 seat venue made in an old barn with great acoustics.  You can bring your own booze for $3.  Win win!

[Onno]

Night of the Prog in Loreley, Germany in July - Steven Wilson and Opeth are headlining

I'm two weeks late but I'll ask anyway: Is known will there be small festival in Zadar instead of cancelled Burning Sea like it was with Rokaj Fest last year (Gojira, Mastodon, Slayer - it was great )

EDIT: https://www.underwallfestival.com/
OMG. Destruction, "not yet confrimed headliner" and bunch of Croatian metal bands only for about 15 Euros :O
"Tuesday, April 9th, where the second headliner will be confirmed soon, as a totally unexpected surprise for all the Croatian fans." Well, they are late but we're waiting

[MoraWintersoul]

There are two quite awesome Serbian bands in there

In the meantime, some unexpected announcements, and this year I'll be seeing Anathema, Riverside, Leprous, Orphaned Land and Children Of Bodom

Congrats, soon your list of gigs you've been to will pretty much be as long as mine!

Anyway, still nothing (confirmed) for me this year yet

[Sketchy]

Got tickets to the RAH Steven Wilson gig.

And also one in Bristol in the preceding week.

"RAH Steven Wilson" is now canon

I know, I'm really surprised by this turn of events, you could say it was dramatic
Don't worry, announcements will come suddenly and unexpectedly.

Amorphis usually play at least one gig per year here, so I'm expecting to see them again, but I bet there won't be anything else for me... Well, seeing DT next year should make up for that

BTW, I read an interview with Santeri and he said Amorphis will play in Eastern Europe on the upcoming tour Haven't they played in Serbia once before?

Don't be a pessimist (I know, slim chance, right? )
Yeah, they have in 2008, but I wasn't aware of them back then and I wouldn't have had anyone to go with anyway. I hope they'll come back though. I have to see them, and Kamelot, and Dream Theater...

[?]

Don't be a pessimist (I know, slim chance, right? )

Don't expect too much from me

Here's the interview: https://rock-the-bow.ch/amorphis-santeri-kallio-im-interview-englisch/

First we do festivals in the summer 2013, then we try to go to South-America. We are also planning Australia and Japan trip in autumn and got some offers for a tour in Russia. In November we´ll do the first European leg and then make as many shows as possible in Finland. So maybe closer to 100 shows before any breaks. If we can we try also get to the US, maybe next spring and tour in east-europe.

"as many shows as possible in Finland" sounds promising!

EDIT: Tomi K also talks about a second European leg here

[Sketchy]

I went to the RAH Porcupine Tree gig back in 2010, so RAH EVERYRAH.

Yes, I'm really looking forward to this festival. It's possible to get special band passes and I'll buy mine from Infernal Tenebra! My parents live close to Zadar (when they're not in Germany) so I'll be visiting them and the festival

I saw them a month-or-so ago at Soundwave and they were absolutely terrific. I'm not even a Slayer listener, but I can safely say that they were one of the biggest highlights of the festival that day. I would definitely recommend seeing them in their current form, based upon the performance I saw.
