Copenhell 2016 (Copenhagen, Denmark)

Copenhell 2016 (Copenhagen, Denmark)

@MetalMagicDK @UliJonRoth1 @scorpions @COPENHELL

Today is the first of three days of utter bliss for me. Luckily my jet lag should have me on a schedule which times fairly well with late night events.

Tonight I will see the Scorpions for the first time. Alice Cooper is also on today’s bill. I was a pretty big fan of the Scorpions in the late 70s and early 80s. “Taken by Force” is my favorite Scorpions album. Unfortunately, they will likely be mostly playing their hits and ballads from the late 80s and 90s, an era I’m not really interested in. In order to hear the songs performed live that I want to hear, I have to head over to the Metal Magic Festival in Fredericia, Denmark in a couple weeks to witness Uli Jon Roth, the Scorpions guitarist during their best era. He is far more likely to play songs like “The Sails of Charon”, “In Trance”, “Your Light”, “I’ve Got To Be Free”, and “We’ll Burn the Sky”.

That said, maybe the Scorpions will give us a treat and play “Born to Touch Your Feelings” tonight. Please. I do like some of the tunes they will play like “The Zoo”, “Coast to Coast”, “Blackout”, and “Dynamite”.

100 days until…

Can’t wait to take a bike ride from my apartment in Copenhagen and head into the front row of Copenhell to shoot Abbath again. Oh, and Black Sabbath, King Diamond, Amon Amarth, Dark Funeral, etc. will be there too.

Four months from today…

Black Sabbath @ Copenhell 2016 (June 25)

@OzzyOsbourne @BlackSabbath @COPENHELL

32 years ago (3/28/84 to be exact) I saw Ozzy Osbourne live for the first time. I was 15 years old. I was too young to drive. I walked 3 miles to the Bay Fair BART station to take BART to San Francisco (actually Daly City). There was no Cow Palace BART station so I walked another 3 miles on the other end to get to the show. Afterwards, I walked another 6 miles and took BART to get home. Since then I’ve seen Black Sabbath three times without nearly as much effort.

In four months (from today to be exact), I will see Black Sabbath for the last time. I will have a mere bike ride from my apartment in Copenhagen, Denmark. Best of all, I won’t be far from the stage like all of the other times. This time I will have a photo pass and be right at the feet of Geezer, Ozzy, and Tony. Can’t wait…
