Area 4 Festival<\/strong><\/p>\n

Premiere for the Area4 festival – this new festival should be the successor of the famous Bizarre festival. The Area4 was held in Oberhausen and was a one day festival (next year they plan to extend it on 2 or 3 days). So here\u00b4s the review of the bands:<\/p>\n

Tent stage:<\/em>
\nAerogramme <\/strong>Never heard about this band before they entered the tent stage of the Area4 festival. So I was really surprised about their performance and their great songs… I think i will listen to their CDs very soon …<\/p>\n

Alter Bridge<\/strong> The ultimate highlight of the festival!!! Perfect performance, a great sound, a fantastic singer – I have to say that this gig was the perfect rock gig! The debut CD of the former Creed musicians(on guitar: Mark Tremonti) and their new singer Myles Kennedy is a complete highlight – and it was a pleasure to hear the songs live. “Burn it down”, “Broken wings” and a fantastic cover of Deep purple\u00b4s “Highway star” were my personal highlights of the concert. Great band – and i think it was the last chance to see them on such a small stage. And I\u00b4ve seen it!!! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Main stage:<\/em>
\nHelmet <\/strong>Helmet is a great band with lots of great songs. Like the Rock am Ring performance in june they played again a great gig. New songs like “Smart”, “Crashing Foreign Cars” and “See You Dead” rock as well as highlights like “Unsung” or “Just another victim”. Thumbs up for Helmet!!!<\/p>\n

Mot\u00f6rhead <\/strong>What can you say about Lemmy and his band? They\u00b4re always a great live band and 100% pure rock\u00b4n\u00b4roll!!! They have lots of great songs in their repertoire and so a good show is guaranteed. They\u00b4re rock\u00b4n\u00b4roll history!!!<\/p>\n

Beatsteaks <\/strong>I really don\u00b4t know why this band is so popular. The band is average – the singer is also average – but the audience loves them…. Still a secret for me … \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Nine inch nails<\/strong> It was a long time ago since Nin played on a german stage – so I was really curious about their performance. Trent Reznor and his sidekicks Aaron North (The Icarus Line) and Jeordie ‘Twiggy Ramirez’ White (Marilyn Manson, A Perfect Circle) really rocked the stage. Their old songs like “Closer” or “March Of The Pigs” and their new songs like “The Hand That Feeds” or “The Line Begins To Blur”are really highlights of electronic-rock\/metal music. <\/p>\n

System of a down<\/strong> They\u00b4re fantastic – They\u00b4re great – I love their songs – but what about soad live? I heard many people say that they\u00b4re definitively not a good live band. And I have to say: You\u00b4re wrong!!! Fantastic gig and the perfect closure of the premiere of the Area4 festival. Highlights from their new CD like “BYOB” and classics like “Aerials” – great gig – great sound. Can\u00b4t wait to see the band again !
