How I went to Scorpions 21.04.2012

Hello, bloggers of Stopheim. I rarely write anything here because I can’t find the topics or choose the right words for myself, but something encouraged me to write about the Scorpions concert, held in Yekaterinburg on April 21.

I apologize in advance that I can’t add my own photographs to all this due to the fact that any shooting was prohibited there, and if something was removed, then the guard immediately approached you. However, I will still try to find any materials from other people for the post, so that this post is at least interesting.

First of all, there were a lot of people … In general, it was, one might say, my first visit to the concert of any group, so it was unexpected for me to stand in line at the entrance for about an hour. But this is nothing. After the entrance, having passed ruthless to all organic creatures, a metal detector, I immediately got souvenirs in the form of two Scorpions, the last album, a keychain and a magnet. Funny little things, but they are just as pleasant.
My place, to put it mildly, was very budgetary. Very, very. Some kind of concrete slab blocked half of the stage, the group itself was very far away and the sound was sometimes heard in the form of interference, but binoculars and some manipulations with the place still allowed me to eliminate these troubles. I will not be distracted from the main topic and I will try to describe the concert itself and tell a little about the group.

As many know, Scorpions were formed in the far of 1965 and are one of the most famous groups thanks. In 2010, the group announced that he was going to cease to exist after his last World Tour, which should end somewhere in 2013. And I still got to one of the concerts of this tour.

It all started with the fact that I had to wait for the start of the concert for about half a hours. Somewhere about 20 minutes of this, some strange group called Never Opened Doors performed on the “warm-up”. Then they talked about how a grand event is waiting for the audience, left and … the expectations continued. After some time, the light went out, and the concert began.

What can be said about him? It was spectacular. Scorpions noaccount-casinos.co.uk/ are still able to make grandiose shows. What was the solo of the drummer of James Cottak or a burning and not dying guitar. I don’t even know how to describe what I saw. We can say that they performed some of their most famous songs, conducted the viewer on the history of their group, said “Spasibo” and … the light went out, and the group went accompanied by sad music. It was even a shame to leave the audience, because I had to see this group live on the first and last time. But, nevertheless, all this was worth it.

P.S.: Yes, I transmitted very little information, for my writer’s skill is so bad that it does not allow me to share all my impressions. But is it necessary? I think not, so you can click on the “Publish” button. I hope that this group here is not only for me 🙂

Oh yes, all the photos in this post were taken by Andrei Lamin, who allowed their publication.

I was on metallics 2 years ago, and soon I will go to Maksidr! And you are well done, made the right choice, they are awesome!

Oh, cool … I went to Skorpov in Kyiv, like a year in 2009 it was. It is amazing that they are capable of issuing almost any equipment with efficiently and awesome. If this group was mentioned even in Simpsons … This clearly says that Western pop culture was formed not without their participation. The co -carrier is really legendary. I would still have time for Stones in this life, and you can consider myself a happy music lover (I also went to McCartney). It is sad that the old guard of the rockers is aging and moving away, but there is no one and nobody on the replacement-the time of rock and roll has gone, playing rock seriously is like listening to Babin in the era of iPodes.

Was at their concert in May last year. Also, the day before he managed to visit the autograph of the session. Tickets were taken to the fanzone (this is the very site at the scene itself where there is not a single sitting place). Due to the fact that the concert and my friends and I arrived at 2.5 hours before the start, we managed to take a place as close as possible to the entrance, which after a couple of hours spilled into places at the very foot of the scene. At the heating of the Skorpov were Sabaton-the Swedish Hevi-metal group. Whose performance, I liked it no less than that of the Germans.
The beautiful fanzone is that the closer you are to the stage, the greater the pressure you experience from behind, created by a crowd of fans. And in moments when nishtyaks are discarded from the stage into the crowd, you can easily be left without legs or get a weighty fist in the face). Being a man whose childhood passed in theaters, during these thirds of the day I experienced a lot of new sensations, learned to throw a “goat”, scream related words, etc.D.
Another plus is that you can shoot anyone and how much you want, because the guards simply physically will not get to you, although some still tried.
P.S. If anyone is interested, I can throw off photos.

Well, the desire is important here. I live in Irkutsk, and the nearest concert was in Krasnoyarsk. 18 hours by train one way, one night, concert and vice versa 🙂

I would go to the Hanses, but I still live too much and live in a distant ass (I don’t think that they will at least come to our capital).And this summer in the capital Red Hot Chilli Peppers will be, and I am still the same schoolboy: with.
I would like to be born before -_-

And sang lining for tomorow? I was at a concert in Berlin, but they seem to sing it only in Russia, but I like it very. And the concert is super -all of course. Especially what was happening during We’ll Burn the Sky on the screens from behind.

I was at a concert in Novokuznetsk on the 19th. There were a lot of people (especially given the fact that Uralts had a lesser capacity than the DS of the Kuznetsk Metallurgists), almost all seats were occupied, with the exception of the right side rostrum, which was perpendicular to the scene, in the fanzone would not be injected at all.
Wind of Change and Living For Tomorow The Hall San completely.

I wonder if it is worth writing here more often? : D If, of course, someone is interested in reading. Or I will learn to write.
