Yesterday I went to see an Iron Maiden tribute band, nothing astonishing, really. But that was my first concert post top surgery and just the day before I had been cleared of the compression vest, so I was finally, totally, free!
The excitement of wearing a shirt with nothing underneath, and freely jumping around, was inebriating. I'm so glad that I did this.
I am looking for the January 2023 issuse of Metal Hammer (English Version). I am willing to pay for it + tracked shipping to Italy + compensation.
I am featured in that issue and it means a lot to me. I keep having trouble ordering it from the offical sources so I have to ask if someone here has a spare copy/can get me a copy. Please help me!!
Since this summer I'm recovering from top surgery, I don't really plan to embark on a trip, even within Italy. At this point I'm considering using the money to buy a ticket for a big festival next year: #Wacken or #Hellfest mostly... any other European #metalfestival that might be worth it? #Copenhell maybe?

Ha, yeah, from your perspective it's all far away, sure 😉
I've never needed to take a plane to a festival, that seems odd to me. How to carry all that camping stuff with you? And something to eat and drink... 😉
First time to Wacken was special, though. One of our cars broke down and a friend and I travelled the rest by train (the others took most of the stuff in their car). That was much fun, as we only had to care about a few small bags and some beer cans 😅
@schm43cky oh I went to Wacken via train! 23 hours straight... left Naples on Sunday at 7am, I was in Hamburg on Monday at 6am. I had my tent and sleeping bag with me + a 45 liters backpack; I bought some canned food in the village.
I think one day I'll try the car experience (must be fun!) but the no-car-area was lovely.
(I went on an Interrail trip after Wacken, that's why I took the train instead of the airplane)
Ich will nächste Jahr in Wacken wiederkommen. Ich hatte viel Spaß letzte Jahr und die Leute waren herrlich, so ich will das Fest mit meinem neuen Körper erleben. Ich will mein Glück teilen.
