I can see the future. Unfortunately, the above isn’t it, but one can hope, dream, and wish.

I forgot to hit “I’m done” so I did it again with five more wishes.

First, part two of a story that spanned 30 years. Part one of the story can be found here.

Part two goes like this: At the 2017 Gefle Metal Festival, pictured above, I was backstage and heading to the bathroom before Death Angel hit the stage. I turned a corner and Rob, also pictured above, appeared. I said “Hi Rob” and he responded with a “Hi, do you know where the bathroom is?” I responded with something like, “That’s where I’m heading; this way.” So there I found myself, once again pissing next to a member of Death Angel, with 30 years separating the two events.

If teenager me could have seen the video below and been told that I would only have to live until I was in my 50s to see it, I would have gladly continued living. 😉

May 31 is the big day for this.

Sometimes you can sort of predict who will be coming to a festival based on what bands are doing similar festivals in the area during the same season. Such was the case when Copenhell announced that Dimmu Borgir, Tool, and Slipknot will be performing in 2019. Who else is in the area that I hope Copenhell will add?

Death Angel
Primordial
Dark Tranquillity
Cult of Luna
King Diamond
Cradle of Filth
Behemoth

Please and thank you.
