Kusturica concert in Bucharest, 10 December

Iron Maiden, Fear of the Dark in Bucharest

Iron Maiden concert, Bucharest '08

The Iron Maiden concert rocked the house last night on Cotroceni stadium. More then 20.000 head bangers of all ages accompanied them throughout the story's unraveled on the stage. From Run to the Hills and The Trooper to Fear of the Dark, the Iron Maiden sent chills on the spines of their fans. I am not kidding, a lot of people ware transfigured while singing along with Dickinson. The sound was impeccable, the only sad note (and this is a personal note) is that I felt that Dickinson had a tired voice ... sometimes he faded . This was anyway erased by the massive energy he and the band put in the show! Opening for them was Lauren Harris that sounded quite good and the Romanian band Trooper that got cut off at a certain point ... generator failure :)

Metallica, opening '08 + Kirk solo

Metallica for the 2nd time in Romania

Last night I went to the Metallica concert! They came back after 9 years and had a hell of a concert in Bucharest. They started with Creeping Death and picked it up from there. The public was great, especially since it was raining like hell for almost the entire concert! The sound was better (my opinion) then in '99 but the show was less impressive though they did use some effects for One and Enter Sandman that worked very well :)

The last 40min ware better ... I guess they finally wormed up and started to really connect with us! Going at it live for almost 2:30 hours, giving us high quality music after all these years ... i love these guys!
One thing that I found odd is that they didn't sing anything from St. Anger or the new album that will be out in September.

Metallica is coming to Bucharest again!

Thank god! After 9 years Metallica is coming back to Bucharest for a live concert! Last time they played in July 1999 on Lia Manoliu stadium (which doesn't exist anymore :). I came from Timisoara during exam time and my father was ok with it!! That was a schocker :)

This time they are coming (without Jason Newsted .... 4 years since he left the band ... shit) to play in Cotroceni stadium on the 23rd of July and I got the ticket!
