First of all, I missed MAPLERUN! But if they start (have to?) before the announced time and I, as almost always, only show up after a certain delay, then that happens... However, I did catch the last notes of MAPLERUN before the "X", and they sounded damn hard, fat, and awesome. On the other hand, there wasn't much applause from the audience outside, and since the adjacent parking lot was also very empty, I thought that not too many had made it to the Herford "X" yet. It was still early on a Saturday evening. Inside the "X", however, it looked quite different; it was already pretty well filled. And the reason it was empty in the parking lot was quickly resolved: many of the spectators probably don't have a driver's license yet ;-)
So I raised the average age, but the younger the audience is, the more endurance they should have, and that promised a nice evening full of moshing....
When SOIL took the stage, the audience was already in top form. To my shame, I must admit that I didn't know the Americans until then. With their mix of metal, rock, and alternative, they were very well received by me and the audience. The listeners thanked them not only with a great atmosphere (which I am rarely used to in OWL) but also with a lot of applause. The four SOIL members really gave it their all, and the very good sound, which is not always a given in the "X", brought many happy faces. The highlight of the just over 30-minute show was their last song, where all, and I mean really all, musicians and crew members from the three bands were on stage, and everyone who didn't have a string instrument around their neck pounded on the second big SKINDRED drum.
After the disappointing performance by SKINDRED on November 26, 2011, at the Bielefeld "Kamp", I was particularly curious about how the Welsh would perform 27 months later. Normally, SKINDRED is a sure bet! Always great atmosphere, always a very good live performance, and a roaring, shirt-swinging audience. It was the same two years ago in November, until suddenly singer Benji left the stage after three-quarters of an hour, and the concert ended abruptly (for those who want to read more: http://www.ramtatta.de/s/konzertberichte/f/details/id/2967/). Like two years ago, Benji was visibly in a good mood at the beginning this time as well; check out the photos that should be attached to the report. Benji, in the role of a great conductor, and his four men went full throttle from the start, and the Herford crowd was immediately at their feet. Unlike the Bielefeld concert, Benji also shared some anecdotes that were very well received by the audience. After an hour, there was the first (and only) break, but it was short, and in the second part of the program, SKINDRED was able to lift the mood even more. Benji flirted even more with his very good, varied voice and drew the audience further into the show, whether during the SKINDRED-famous "helicopter - shirt swinging" or during "everyone sit on the floor". After 80 minutes, the Welsh also brought all the musicians and helpers on stage, and with almost 20 people on stage, the "X" celebrated the last song in grand style.
