How will it/did it go for yinz guys?  How was the reception? How many languages did you speak? Was the food good? And most importantly: Did anyone get tipped over in a port-o-potty? (You'd BETTER have tipped someone over in a port-o-potty.)

Is tipping over someone in a porta-potty the same as cow tipping?

I heard it's even worse then when you don't tip the valet

No. Port-o-potty tipping is a jillion times cooler than cow tipping will ever be.

Back home again. A very surreal trip in many ways. H:O:A was phenomenal. Well over a thousand metal heads standing there chanting along to Storming The Castle, even if they didn't know the language. Fists in the hair, hair flying, amps blaring, beer guzzling...METAL!.
The hosts of the fesitval were great, treated us like royalty with the shuttle vans, hotel, food & drink. A very gracious country and atmosphere. Played in Hamburg also at the Headbangers Ballroom, though now called Ballroom Hamburg, again, very cool staff and true metal heads right up front chanting and banging along. After that show we stayed on and partied on a street called the Reeperbahn. Very crazy place. Not once did we make it back to the hotel before the sun.
Overall, food was so/so, though being the vegan in the band is tougher on road trips unless we're in places like New York or L.A. where that's not a strange thing. The beer was awesome, especially when we could get it served cold! (they're not big on ice or air conditioning).
But what makes it is the people. Festival season in Germany is like no place on earth. Meeting people from Spain, Italy, Greece, Russia, Poland, Sweden, Estonia, Norway, England, France, Japan, etc...all coming together for a common love of traditional metal. Even North America was represented well with several bands from the U.S. and fans from Canada in attendance. The thrill of watching the crowd warm up over the course of the set to finally hitting the last note and hearing chants of "ONE MORE SONG" turn into "U-S-A, U-S-A" it was like the end of Rocky III up in that mug.
Now it's time to get back to writing the new album & preparing for upcoming shows with 3 Inches Of Blood, Attacker, Deadly Blessing and many more!
Prost!
Jason

Jason\m/  \m/ Sounds like a wicked good time. I'm jealous of all those fans that got to attend and see IW in concert on European soil.

| Hey Jason, Sounds Awesome. It's still a dream of mine to make over to W.O.A! Maybe next year..hopefully the witch will be playing at it. Hope to make it to the Pittsburgh gig. Oh and by the way Jere had some bad luck. Hobbs Angel of Death pulled out the week before. He must have been bummed. Metal forever, Todd
