Zeche, Bochum, GermanyApril 4th 2005
Kamelot, Kotipelto and Epica
"We're siiiinging in the rain" - I sure expected a different soundtrack standing in line (and in the rain) together with about 60 heavy metal fans, waiting for the doors to open. The rain did not make the doormen open earlier, so that we finally entered the small hall of the Zeche wet, grungy and full of anticipation. As the first band started to play at 7 p.m. the room was not even halfway filled, the starting time of the concert being communicated as 8 p.m.

Within Temptation and Autumn
On this cold Friday evening Within Temptation and Autumn performed in ‘t Paard who had just won the price for night temple of the year 2005 which is of course a great honour. After waiting in line in the cold it was time to enter the venue. All bags were turned inside out and bottles of water were confiscated and never to be returned. Security made sure all was safe and checked. The entire venue was sold out and everybody was looking forward to the show.

Kammgarn – Cotton Club, Kaiserslautern, Germany09th April 2005
Schelmish
Only a handful of people came to the Kammgarn in the Cotton Club. Schelmish, the self constituted “fattest mediaeval band from Germany”, stopped in Kaiserslautern. About 200 fans were sitting or standing sporadic in the Cotton Club and waited for the band. Dextro, Schelmish`s singer, welcomed the cotton club and told us, that the band still has too much alcohol in their veins from the day before. But you don’t saw anything of that! On the contrary, Schelmish played on and had some surprises in the bags.
