Machine Head, Arenele Romane, 23.09.15

Posted on: September 24, 2015 at 8:37 am

„Who’s opening for Machine Head? Machine Fucking Head.” That was the joke you could hear from every mouth last night after Machine (Fucking) Head gave us a recital it’s not easy to forget, even if you’re not a fan as dedicated as most of the people in the audience were. …

Artmania , Large Square Sibiu, 31.07-01.08.15

Posted on: August 3, 2015 at 8:28 am

Artmania has been synonym with Sibiu’s Large Square for almost a decade, until last year a municipal law forbidding payed concerts in public areas forced them to find a last minute solution and host the shows in a shed at the edge of the city. This year, seeing how the …

Godsmack, Arenele Romane, 27.06.15

Posted on: June 29, 2015 at 9:09 am

This is going to be a very short diary entry, as it sadly was a very short concert. After having tickets to Godsmack three years ago when they cancelled the show in Romania, this time we were most anxious to see them. But when bad luck strikes in our family, it strikes …

Romanian Rock Meeting, Arenele Romane, 14-18.05.15

Posted on: May 19, 2015 at 9:01 am

Romanian Rock Meeting started as a Blind Guardian concert plus some opening bands, became a festival with a second day (actually first) of concerts in Club Colectiv and then again changed and became an opportunity to promote the young(er) Romanian metal bands as the access was free in Club Colectiv. …

Gentle Storm, Hard Rock Cafe, 19.02.15

Posted on: February 20, 2015 at 4:35 pm

I’m so happy, I finally got to see Arjen last night. It’s the first time I actually feel a lump in my stomach when an artist comes out on stage, I’m always excited to see my favourite bands, but when Arjen got up on stage, it was an indescribable feeling …

Sabaton, Arenele Romane, 27.01.15

Posted on: January 28, 2015 at 4:32 pm

We didn’t get a chance to see the opening band, Roadkill Soda because of a mix between work, bad traffic and people running late, and had we known what was about to happen, we would’ve tried harder to get there in time. That’s what you get for not respecting the opening bands! …

Bucovina, Fabrica, 13.12.14

Posted on: December 14, 2014 at 4:29 pm

I can’t believe I’ve been listening to Bucovina for 8 years and it took me so long to get to one of their concerts! I guess that’s the problem with local bands, that I always save the money and time for foreign bands that come here once or twice and …

Maximum Rock Festival, Turbohalle, 24-25.10.14

Posted on: October 27, 2014 at 4:24 pm

In the middle of a period where organisers/ bands aren’t exactly lining up for concerts, let alone festivals, Maximum Rock was a breath of fresh air. First of all, I wasn’t extremely familiar with most of the bands, but I had quite a few revelations (more about that later). Second …

Deep Purple, Polivalenta Hall, 20.02.14

Posted on: February 21, 2014 at 4:10 pm

I wasn’t expecting too much from this concert, considering I was going to see a positively ancient band with a lead singer who’s almost 70. But then again, it was a positively ancient band, on the back of which was built all the music I nowadays adore, so I wasn’t …

Roger Waters, Constitution Square, 28.08.13

Posted on: August 29, 2013 at 3:45 pm

Oh my God, I can die happy now, I saw The Wall and it was BRILLIANT!!!! I had always loved Pink Floyd, I had always loved the album, but I never listened and understood it as I did the other night. So much anger, so much frustration, so much sadness, …
