Graspop Metal Meeting 2023

[festivalryo]

I just got back from the BMTH concert and I'm happy to say that I was really impressed with the show.

Starting off with the stage production:
Rather simplistic set up, keyboards on the right, drumkit on the left, a massive screen in the background. Very colourful lighting and animations for most of the show.
The concert featured an AI voice as somewhat of a narrator, introducing the next songs, "scanning" for circle pits (tutorial included!)..
The band really goes all-in on their current cyberpunk aesthestic.

The band was putting on a really strong performance, I was particularly impressed by Oli's vocals. Great cleans, impressive shrieks and growls, he has really come a long way. I'm glad he's taking care of his voice nowadays.

The show went for around 80 minutes and the band played nothing but hits. It is quite noteworthy how many well-known songs this band has by now. They stuck to material from their more recent albums (Sempiternal and onwards) but I don't think this was a bad thing.
Overall, the show felt just right, like the band has spent a lot of time discussing setlist, production and the vibe they were going for.
I can say without a doubt, this is a show worthy of a headline spot at the big rock festivals.

If BMTH are actually one of our missing headliners, many people will be in for a pleasant surprise, I think.

BMTH are amazing live. I will rather watch them 10 more times than FFDP one more time with boring alcoholic Ivan

Haha ja lekker duidelijk sit. Het kan vriezen, het kan dooien! Ik hoop dat ik in kamp 1 zit.

ik zeg niet nee, ik zeg niet ja. Integendeel.

In elk geval nog geen Guns n' Roses-bevestiging voor Pukkelpop. Oef!

This makes me even more exciting to see them! Also know 90% of the setlist
Really hope they end up on Graspop this year 🙏

Same here, really hoping we get BMTH as one of the headliners. above setlist would work for me but I don't think changing it up a bit is out of the question. They sometimes still change it up a bit and play some of the heavier songs live for the right crowd. Could see them throwing in someting like Diamonds aren't forever' if they end up headlining Graspop. last year they also played that song live 8x.
Allthough them playing their regular setlist is fine with me as well.

Ah zo. Nu, Het één hoeft het ander nog niet uit te sluiten. EC lijkt me wel een band die gerust beide kan en zal doen.

Niet als ze headliner slot zijn, neem ik aan

Tuurlijk niet. Vind dat zelf wel een tikkeltje te snel om ze al als headliner neer te zetten op Alcatraz.

denk dat we daarom ook weten waarom graspop ze niet geboekt heeft.

nogal een ferm machien he die glazen bol van mij

Maar... Je hebt hier nooit de naam gedropt.
Niet dat ik twijfel dat je het over EC had hoor
