Fabio's GMM 2013 Review



Heathen: Awesome start, very good band, thrash and progressive-ish
Grave Digger: I like the band, but set list was disappointing
Asking Alexandria: They sure have a fan base, made a great impression
Helloween: Good show
All That Remains: I didn’t know any songs, but liked very much
Rotting Christ: great show
Heaven Shall Burn: Love this band now, Fortarock was better though
Katatonia: not the right type of music when you are very tired
Kreator: great as always, new songs are so good plus the classics
Twisted Sister: The rain ruined it…
Brainstorm: headache didn’t help me headbang here, but great show to start
Between The Buried And Me: One of my favorite bands currently, 3 songs of the amazing new album and one classic from Colors
Bullet For My Valentine: Like the band and the new CD, so it was fun
UDO: this was great, 30 min of heavy metal, one song linked to the previous, no blah blah blah, then a breath to 2 Accept classics
Down: Phil Anselmo is an amazing front man and the set list was full of the Nola classics - awesome
Saxon: Despite the classics and the new good album, it was boring – last time in the tend was much better
Iced Earth: Simply perfect - top 3 of this year
Slipknot: It doesn’t click to me, can’t like it. But the show was good and people around seemed happy
Pretty Maids: A good surprise, very nice Hard Rock
Hellyeah: didn’t like it at all, only listened to it while enjoying the sun
Parkway Drive: Full energy and great songs from the new CD
Stone Sour: Awesome show, the best songs and a Sabbath cover.
Ghost: In the MetalDome couple of years ago was much better
In Flames: Amazing, what an awesome band – so many powerful songs, my surprise was to hear Pinball Map – loved it!
Iron Maiden: not loud enough, boring crowed – people only knew Fear of The Dark – shame on you! On the other hand, what an amazing set list!
King Diamond – Best show of 2013, period!
