Wacken Open Air Live Streaming

Speaking of the European summer festival season, Wacken Open Air (fest) is offering FREE live streaming of their legendary three day (yearly)  fest this weekend. Listen in to three days of beer, brutal extreme metal, and a very stoked, sold out crowd of over 65, 000 crowd surfing, screaming fans in Wacken Germany. That's pronounced Vacken for us puny Americans. We are not worthy, and yes, some day we'll be there, as a mighty infernal HAILS go out to all of the bands, fans, staff, crew and promoters of this amazing fest. \m/ -l-
This years Wacken Open Air fest features 1349, Immortal, Possessed, Type O Negative, Vital Remains,Cannibal Corpse, Iced Earth, Falconer, Amorphis and over 70 bands in three days.
IRON MAIDEN have been confirmed for 2008's WACKEN OPEN AIR.
Also, if you are out on west here in the USA, check out the GATHERING OF THE SICK Festival in Albuquerque, New Mexico (August 3rd, and 4th) @ The Compound. The GATHERING OF THE SICK FEST 2007 lineup features SKINLESS, ABYSMAL DAWN, UNMERCIFUL, PUTRID PILE, GRAVE DESECRATION and many more death and grind national acts.
Imagine going to a metal festival in Europe and seeing a legendary black metal band with a stage set up such as this pic below. That is a live concert pic of DISSECTION featuring the late Jon Nodtveidt. I'm not sure which fest that pic of DISSECTION was taken from, however, theatre majors take note. Whomever is responsible for the stage production in that pic of DISSECTION below should get an award and a infernal HAILS. -l-  WOW, awesome. When Europeans do fests, they do it RIGHT.
