WACKEN OPEN AIR 2023 PART I!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey ladies and germs, here's my 8th review/annual summer festival blog, Wacken Open Air!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This was my 8th time going to the holy land and 2nd consecutive year going to the holy land in the post covid era and I have to say, this was definitely an extraordinary Wacken given how the weather absolutely sucked this year round compared to last year, since last year was hot and dusty most of the time but only rained enough to wash away the dust. This year round it was persistent rain and mud, and the mud was so bad for a lot of cars, tractors had to get called in with winches to tow the cars out of the mud as the tractors themselves have tires that are equipped for the quicksand-esque mud, ill highlight I never saw that in 2015, 2016, and 2017, so this was new to me. Plus the other thing that was new was the organizers having to reduce the crowd from 85,000 to 50,000 due to the persistent heavy rain and mud making a large swathe of campgrounds unusable, so this was another thing I don't recall seeing in 2015, yet I thought 2015 was worse, but in this case 2023 Wacken was a mix of 2005, 2012, and 2015, but chock full of steroids. It was also my first Wacken Open Air on a heavy heart since I was still reeling from the death of my friend Elouise 3 weeks earlier at the time I entered Wacken on the Monday, so I dedicated Wacken and my Euro Trip to her as knowing her it's what she would've wanted since she had a zest for travel, food, and music. This was also the first Wacken I went to where it's gone from being a 3 day festival to a 4 day festival. I also dedicated Wacken and my trip to Walter Froebrich as well since he had died back in November and his death was still fresh on my mind.

Let's begin the festivities!

I got to Esther's place the day before Monday after I left Brussels to change trains in Cologne and then get to Hamburg, and then book myself a train going to Itzehoe, in which I got there at a reasonable time. I was then picked up at Itzehoe Hauptbahnhof by Esther's neighbour, in which Esther and I would go to her neighbours place for coffee and cake. Bibi and Dan came to hang out at Esther's place for a bit, and when we all got the news we had to be at Edeka at 5 in the morning, Esther and I made an agreement to pull an all nighter and I just thought to myself "Fuck it, I'm not gonna let all nighter induced fatigue get me down" and it was an hour earlier compared to last year when all of us had to be down by 6. Bibi, Esther, Dan and I also partook in giving passing cars the horns who were going to Wacken, and the drivers would honk back and give the horns back in kind, which I thought was awesome. I did enjoy Esther's delicious Chili Con Carne for a 2nd consecutive year and as well the gathering at her place was smaller and quieter with just Esther, Elke and I.

Monday July 31st: Elke, Esther and I go to Edeka and it was once again a reunion of the other Crüe members in Rabih, Ian, Sandy and her bf Max Rohrbeck, Krücky, Kutscher, Diana, Mischa and as well meeting Mischa's gf (however her name is spelt) seeing Spike for the first time in half a decade albeit this time with me having slimmed down, Sarah, Bas and Boudewijn, Aurora, Håvard, and meeting Aurora and Håvard's friend Jenny, and meeting Ian's friend from the Volunteer state aka Tennessee, Steven or his real name being Sven, and as well to see Janis a 2nd time, even though he and I hung out in Berlin on my 3rd night there after I had supper with my friend Christian, and it was a nice reunion and a great way to catch up with the lot. After waiting for a good while, we finally got the go ahead to go to Rendsburger and set up camp, which we all did and thank you Elke for the spare tent. Since we all arrived early, I had to wait awhile for merch to open and get my locker, so I took a nice long nap as all nighter induced fatigue finally caught up with me. After I woke up, I got myself a t-shirt and skipped the hoodie because A. Hoodies are pricey and B. My dresser drawers are running low on space from the Wacken hoodies I bought in the past, so I have to be mindful of the space. After I got my shirt, I got my locker and put away my passport and valuables and returned to camp. Later in the day, Andreas and his brother arrived, so it was nice to see them and further later on that day, got to sample the first half of Bas' southern BBQ themed cooking in spare ribs, which were absolutely tasty, so thank you Bas for the delicious food. Late afternoon to early in the evening, the Aussies finally arrived after dealing with so much travel, bus, and weather related horseshit, so got to have a brief reunion with Nikki once again, great to see Capsy for the first time in 4 years, had a nice reunion with Jason and met his girlfriend Jaz, and after a half decade absence, finally got to see Laura again as well. When nightfall entered, it became on and off torrential downpours, but eventually it calmed down at midnight or after midnight. It was also at this time I went with Esther down to Rendsburger and after having a couple shots of Scotch and a couple beers, I drank a couple more shots this time of Jägermeister with Kai and his friends, then a few mins later tried Mexicana's, which is the German version of a Bloody Mary and those hit the spot. Also met an Aussie named Dave Prentice or he told us to call him by his surname since theres a lot of Daves down under. Then after hanging out at the Rendsburger tent and having a couple more shots and smoking a couple of joints with Esther, I retreated back to my own tent and went to sleep.

Tuesday August 1st: I woke up early but that was because Mother Nature called me and I had to answer her, so I then retreated back to my tent and slept some more and didn't get out of my tent until noon since the rain and mud made me feel rather lethargic. I was nursing a wee hangover in the form of a dull headache, but it was manageable. I don't remember much happening on the Tuesday aside from meeting more Aussies in Jake and Amanda, and having the second half of Bas' southern BBQ themed cooking in the form of having Pulled Pork, which was tasty, so once again thank you Bas for more awesome food. I also now remember Tuesday was the day that the organizers had to cut off the amount of people and cars coming in since the capacity had been up to 50,000, and fellow Crüe member Connel became an unfortunate victim of the 35,000 to be told not to enter the holy land, which was a bummer among all of us. Then a few joints smoked with Esther and Max Neukirch later, I went to sleep.

Wednesday August 2nd: The day when the bands could finally play, although it took a long ass while for the Gates to open, and during that time of waiting was when the fish people game was happening near our camp. When I finally entered the gates, there was the Lemmy parade with a big rig/lorry blasting it's airhorn and having the snaggletooth artwork on the grill as it lead the charge. After the parade was done, I could finally walk to the Louder stage.

First band I saw after that long delay was Skew Siskin. I'd never heard this band before but from what I saw they weren't too shabby, and they did a cover of 3 Motörhead songs in Iron Fist, Stay Clean, and No Class. Apparently, Skew Siskin and Motörhead toured a bunch of times back in the day, so that explains them paying tribute to Lemmy.

After Skew Siskin it was time for NERVOSA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This was my 2nd time catching this all female death/thrash band as I saw them last May as direct support for Destruction and I remember they were awesome but they had a different lineup at the time as it was ¼ Brazil 🇧🇷 for guitarist and sole founding member Prika Amaral and ¾ Mediterranean Europe: Greece 🇬🇷 for drummer Eleni Nota, Italy 🇮🇹 for bassist Mia Wallace, and Spain 🇪🇸 for frontwoman Diva Satanica. This time around it's ¼ Brazil 🇧🇷 in which Prika Amaral is doing both guitar and vocals, ½ Greek 🇬🇷 for guitarist Helena Kotina and bassist Hel Pyre, and ¼ Bulgaria 🇧🇬 with drummer Mihaela Naydonova. I'll also say Prika Amaral's vocals were nothing short of awesome. When she would speak in between songs she thanked all of us for coming to watch Nervosa's set and acknowledging we all went through hell with the rain and mud, she also spoke about mental illness and depression going on in the world, etc. The thing that was a letdown was Nervosa had to cut their set short so I blame Skew Siskin for going on first, shit weather, and supreme disorganization and lack of communication from the organizers. Here's what Nervosa's setlist looked like:

Seed of Death(Live premiere)Play Video

Perpetual ChaosPlay Video

Death!Play Video

Masked BetrayerPlay Video

Kill the SilencePlay Video

Kings of DominationPlay Video

Endless AmbitionPlay Video

Under Ruins

After Nervosa were finished, I then advanced towards the infield where the Faster and Harder stages met, and once the Gates were opened at the request of Thomas Jensen, everyone started advancing to the stage, I was under the impression Holy Moses were going to play the Faster Stage but lo and behold they didn't, instead it was time for Skindred. I never got into this band a lot when I was growing up but from what I saw live they had a great live performance. Frontman Benji Webbe knows how to fire up the crowd with his energy and his antics. In between songs he got all of us to raise the bird finger and say "Fuck you Clifford" in reference to Benji's older brother Clifford for chastising Benji as Benji wanted to be a singer in a metal band. Only song I'm familiar with is Nobody since it has the chorus of "Nobody gets out alive".

After Skindred got finished, I took a long break and hung out at my locker, and after my break I returned to the Headbangers Stage and got to see PENTAGRAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This was my first time seeing them and I'm not familiar with their studio material, but I did like their live show especially with Bobby Liebling's onstage antics of him making funny faces during the guitar solos and as well in between songs the crowd chanting "Bobby, Bobby" he shook his ass in front of the crowd to pantomime the chant. He also was asking the crowd what type of world we are living in and then kicked into the song "Dying World". I'll also highlight that off the stage, Bobby Liebling is a troubled man due to his past history of drug abuse mainly with crack and heroin and as well having an assault against a vulnerable person conviction and serving a year and a half in prison for assaulting his 87 year old Mother 6 years ago. Pentagram certainly did provide a nice closing night to the Wednesday and here's what their setlist looked like:

Death RowPlay Video

All Your SinsPlay Video

Review Your ChoicesPlay Video

The GhoulPlay Video

Sign of the Wolf (Pentagram) / SinisterPlay Video

Be ForewarnedPlay Video

When the Screams ComePlay Video

Dying WorldPlay Video

Devil's PlaygroundPlay Video

RelentlessPlay Video

Broken VowsPlay Video

Relentless (Reprise)Play Video

Last Days HerePlay Video

WartimePlay Video

Forever My QueenPlay Video

20 Buck Spin(Snippet)

After Pentagram I bumped into Nikki, Rabih, and Capsy and we all saw the drones displaying Doro's logo, and as well drones making Lemmy's face and as well the Ace of Spades to further memorialize Lemmy. We then got some food and I returned to camp and went to sleep for the night.

Thursday August 3rd:

I once again got out of my tent late morning early afternoon, and don't remember much in the socializing thing as there was lots going on, except for getting a Hot Dog with Lena before I ventured out into the infield and it definitely came in handy as I needed fuel to last me for the day.

I get into the infield and I saw Uriah Heep playing some of their last songs and I remember they sounded great. They played 4 years ago, but the infield was packed to the brim and I was busy watching Primordial, so it was no big loss.

After Uriah Heep it was time for: "Icey water on my hands" who? "Hearts on Fire, Hearts on Fire, Burning Burning with desire" what? "Let the Hammer... FALL" one more time? HAMMERFALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This was my 6th time seeing them, 3rd time seeing them play Wacken, and first time seeing them twice in a year. These lads are always a treat to see live, for me at least as their shows are not only energetic and electric, but Joacim Cans is a joker in between songs as he said "If you raise your hand in school, you don't speak. But if you raise it at a metal show, you make as much fucking noise as possibe" and the crowd did just that. Also when Joacim was introducing the band and after he introduced Frederik Larsson he said to him in a calm and funnier tone of what Gordon Ramsay screams at chefs fucking up on Hells Kitchen "Now fuck off". Here's their setlist:

Intro

BrotherhoodPlay Video

Any Means NecessaryPlay Video

The Metal AgePlay Video

Hammer of DawnPlay Video

Blood BoundPlay Video

RenegadePlay Video

Venerate MePlay Video

Last Man StandingPlay Video

Hero's Return / On the Edge of Honour / Riders of the Storm / Crimson ThunderPlay Video

Let the Hammer FallPlay Video

Glory to the BravePlay Video

(We Make) Sweden RockPlay Video

Encore:

Hammer HighPlay Video

Hearts on FirePlay Video

Dreams Come True

End of Part I, stay tuned for Part II that will involve Kreator, Helloween, Megadeth, Maiden, Wardruna, etc

Do you have any other fandom based OCs? Or liiiike OCs that came from fandom spaces? I know a few of mine came from just playing minecraft hehe

-Cat anon

Most if not all of my OCS were originally fandom OCs.

Okutama were originally Yandere Simulator ocs. (KEEP IN MIND THIS WAS 2012 LOL)

Not really a fandom but the trolley problem were all ARGs at some point or planned to be.

Cipher and Octavia were originally minecraft characters and then turned into their own thing, Milly was a yansim oc, Amy was actually based on a plush I still have.

Playful’s Pizzeria were originally FNAF ocs obviously. AND ALSO WHEN I CREATED MISCHA IT WAS THE FIRST FNAF GAME AND I PREDICTED THE WHOLE SERIAL KILLER IN A BUNNY SUIT THING IM JUST SAYING I SHOULD SUE SCOTT CAWTHON /j

Th Experiment were originally splatoon ocs.

The Hospital is based on a few different fandoms, SCP, the Backrooms, Weirdcore, Doors, Creepypasta, etc.

Uhhhh also more but I can’t think of the rest tbh.

some content for the mischa constance ricky trio that i am the target demographic for.

the three of them are chilling and mischa mentions that he’s never seen a marvel movie. ricky uses an aac system to say “what no that changes TONIGHT” so the three of them have a sleepover (ocean noel and penny are already having an art sleepover btw their viewpoints are ocean doesn’t like violence or swearing or enjoyment noel has a bet going with ricky i’ll flesh out later and ricky showed penny the avengers 2012 and she kissed him and said “never show me that bullshit again”).

so they head over to constance’s after school, stack up on pillows and ask constance’s parents to please keep her baby brother out of the area. they love him but they don’t think he should be watching.”

halfway through iron man 2 mischa says “eyo rdj is hot but this iron man is weak ass bitch”

constance and ricky throw popcorn at him.

at thor he goes “ME”. and supplies the others with alcohol (constance “where did you get this” mischa “it’s called being good guest”)

you know that scene with peggy and steve in captain america in uniform and they look really hot??? mischa “i want both of them to kiss me now.” *pause of realisation* constance “i’ll drink to that” ricky lifts up his bottle and they drink in unison.

at the avengers. ricky starts chanting with his aac system “LOKI LOKI LOKI LOKI” and the other two join in. mischa is. deeply troubled when hawkeye gets mind controlled though because he is the choir member most likely to be a hawkeye and jeremy renner stan. argue with the wall.

and then they have shawarma and go to bed as thor the dark world plays in the background. mischa “this is shit” constance and ricky (using an aac system ofc) “we KNOW”. and then constance wakes up and jams to guardians of the galaxy. ricky has some strange intuition where he wakes up. whenever the winter soldier is on screen. mischa sleeps like a rock but all the movie dialogue becomes the dialogue of his dreams. he plays cap at several points in his head. he calls it “top ten least anxiety dream sequence of all time”.

#rtc #ride the cyclone #mischa bachinski #constance blackwood #ricky potts #rtc headcanons #mischa: stab america but stan captain america #ricky (using an aac system): so true king #mischa: fuck the monarchy #constance: slay #mischa: that’s the intention #ricky (using an aac system): OH *thats* the intention gotcha #marvel spoilers #for 2012 if it matters

Only the greatest artists are able to maintain the freshness of discovery with the depth of thoughtfulness. Martha Argerich is one of them.

- Daniel Barenboim on pianist Martha Argerich

For all her international renown, the Argentine-Swiss classical concert pianist does not appear to be a natural virtuoso: Martha Argerich comes on stage a little shyly, dressed in a simple black top and full patterned skirt, a thick mass of grey hair clouding her face, she bows as if to say “Oh, so you’d like me to play the piano?”, sits at the piano, shakes back her hair… And then she plays…

A formidable, legendary pianist, there is an air of mystery surrounding Martha Argerich, in part due to her reluctance to give interviews and the rarity of her concert appearances (her concert sell out in minutes). She has never sought to cultivate the image of the superstar virtuoso. A prodigious, ferocious talent, Argerich is blessed with a photographic memory, enabling her to reproduce music after a single hearing. Her bravura technique is beyond comparison: she has a “thing for octaves” and can make the rapid octave passages in Tchaikovsky’s first piano concerto or Schumann’s Toccata, one of the most challenging works in the entire repertoire, look like child’s play. Behind that technical assuredness, is an artistry which makes you feel as if you are hearing familiar, well-known repertoire anew. That’s a remarkable skill in any pianist, but for someone in their late-70s who’s been performing for over half a century, it’s extraordinary.

In the 2012 film “Bloody Daughter” made by her youngest daughter, Stéphanie Argerich (Stephen Kovacevich’s daughter), the Argentine-born pianist Martha Argerich’s chaotic home life is revealed with honesty and affection. She likes to sleep beyond midday, spends time watching television or chatting to friends, and might practice the piano late in the evening. One senses a rebellion against the restrictive, highly-organised lifestyle of the international concert artist.

Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1941, she grew up learning the paino alongside another pianist prodigy and future maestro conductor, Daniel Barenboim. Both have maintained a life time friendship and have even played together.

Martha Argerich came to international attention when she won the International Chopin Piano Competition at the age of 24. Prior to that she had received support from Argentina’s President Peron who posted her diplomat father to Vienna so that she could study there. Despite her long and acclaimed career, she is prey to artistic insecurity, but sees this as an asset rather than a handicap, regarding it as a mark of a true artist who has not rested complacently on the laurels of their success. In the 1980s she decided to limit her solo work, stating that she found the on stage loneliness unbearable, and she much prefers to perform with others. Those ‘others’ being the world’s greatest orchestras and musicians, including her long-time friend Daniel Barenboim, cellist Mischa Maisky, Nelson Freire, violinist Gidon Kremer and conductor Claudio Abbado. Her repertoire is broad and varied; her performances and recordings of the concertos of Schumann, Liszt, Tchaikovsky and Prokofiev are especially wondrous.

And what of her playing? It’s quixotic, rhapsodic, exciting and mercurial. There’s something ineffable about her musical understanding and sensitivity, an acute awareness of pacing and rubato (which in other hands would sound contrived) and a glorious range of sound. Martha Argerich brings music to life with an unmatched colour and vibrancy, and an amazing naturalness which speaks of a life spent immersed in the repertoire. She combines power and grace, unafraid to take risks to the point that sometimes her playing seems on the verge of being slightly out of control, which makes it doubly thrilling, yet her playing is impressively precise. She also seems to genuinely enjoy herself when playing – you catch her smiling to herself, to the conductor. Her concerts are milestones, the experience forever etched into the memory to become the benchmark against which other performances are measured.
