220 000 Metalheads

by Sigrid Strohschneider-Laue June. 20, 2018 2306 views

Others call it "Nova Rock" - I call it "Four Day Therapy". We had it all: rain and mud on the first day, heat and dust on the last day and in the middle a lot of hunger and thirst.

It was great - especially Avenged Sevenfold!

I was disappointed by Marilyn Manson - he lost a fan. It was almost as worse as the last show of Korn on Nova Rock - but at least Jonathan Davis made it right this year and I'm at good terms with him again.

Did I mentioned Avended Sevenfold? IT WAS GREAT!

Hollywood Undead - just perfect, like the last time. But I was really surprised, that I was extremly bored by Iron Maiden and Billy Idol. The show of Iron Maiden was spectacular and the guitar parts of Billy Idol's show were impressive, but nevertheless boring.

But Avended Sevenfold ... *sigh*

Body Count and Killswitch Engage cleaned up my ears. Eisbrecher let me wish Rammstein would be there too, so I wouldn't be so distracted and photograph a flying pink condom, which was flying right in front of the stage, for twenty times.

Avenged Sevenfold was there too - I didn't take a single picture, because I had to rise up my hands and shout all the time. I'm glad, that Victoria was less distracted. *SIGH*

Please, Nova invite Metallica, Apocalyptica, Disturbed, Anthrax and Hammerfall - and Avenged Sevenfold!

Waiting ...

Waiting ...

Finally!

Finally!

It was shiny, reflecting, flying higher and higher and higher ...

Victoria - also a fan of Disturbed.

Nice shot of Ice T in #7. Explain to me the set up in picture #4....is that how the crowd is controlled by staggering the barricades  and having walk way for security?

I have a LOT of good shots of Ice-T, but Vici was capable to photograph his little daughter (2), who stormed with a milk bottle the stage. In the end she was sitting on the shoulders of her big brother, who was just before in the middle of a mosh pit. VERY FUNNY a little sweetheartin the middle of hard Body Count!
The barricades are the wave breakers, which can't topple over. This is the wave breaker between the section right in front of the stage and the second section. Security is patroling to help people to get out of the crowd, if they become sick. On both ends are exits and the first aid tents. Fun fact: The violence is in the music not in the people. The people are most of the time very helpful and take care of each other. I have seen people in wheelchairs, which were carried over the heads of the crowd like crowd surfers.

It was GREAT! Yes, she was really relaxed until we didn't find cakes or something good like that to eat. I suggested she could join in for four days with a food truck full of her best cakes (black), cookies (black) and tarts (black). I bet, she could easily make some money. smile

Yes, I spent 3 days in Innsbruck, than I had to take care of my parents for two days and than Victoria and I "commuted" to Nickelsdorf for four very loud days. It was always around midnight or more or less early in the morning, when we drove back to Vienna. No time to post something, because we visited my parents again this week and now I'm drowning in work.

YESSSS! Fun fact: his son joined the moshing and his little daughter (2) run over the stage to join her daddy and her brother. It was a great show - I'm still have no voice. +1

I couldn't resist to photograph Victoria's hand. grinning  The set was amazing, but I like Avenged Sevenfold (did I mentioned it ...). Deadpool is the best, but the crowd surfing Spiderman was funny too. wink
