Tuska 2023
So the metal festival over now but that was fun!
This was three days, my Son and his girlfriend were full three days I was friday saturday and She was on friday.
Definite highlights were Gojira In Flames, Jinjer and Butcher Babies. Avatar kicked plenty of behinds and Clutch did a good show despite technical difficulties.
Young ones got their 15 Warholian munutes of game being on Gojira Instagram and Finnish YLE as frontrow. Here is YLE pic
And yes the dude peeking behind my Son throwing horns is his old man in a kilt. And yes there is nothing but me under the kilt for fucks sake.
Avatar was a great festival opener and good live band. On friday Gojira and Jinjer crushed it.
Tati is a goddess
The kids said my stupid face was on screens from audience whether trance like or moshing like a freak I do not know. This band rules
Young ones liked Arch Enemy too but while I like the band they have way too many guitat solos. I want riffs on riffs and brutality guitat solos are utterly useless 999 times out of thousand and you can keep them.
And we met up with my groovy ex girlfriend which was fun too.
Mokoma had a great tent gig even if it was the most drunken crowd of friday. And Gojira absolutely smashed it.
Today Satan, today. And yes that is bright blue Donald Duck slingbag.
Her friend turns fifty so while on saturday She went to a birthday party ( snd see their new puppy) me and young metalhead couple went back to Tuska.
Orbit Culture was s nice surprisr but despite some rain I left to see Clutch from front roe. And despite drums needing fixing and some looping they went to town. I checked my phone during set and found out that some ranfom female tried to choke my Son but thanks to his great goth girlfriend they got out of situation. And the drigged out assaillant was lucky that I wss elseehere.
We were feeling amgry and down awhile after that but thanks Motionless in White. This was in a way most fun set. My Son wanted to see them. Me and his girlfriend we...found them unintentionently funny emo band. So we just goofed snd danced. As my Son said " I had the gig and a free stand-up show" and it began to pour rain during the set. I had rainponcho from Her and as my son's girlfriend marked " you turned into hairiest, grumpiest purple metal garden Elf"
Then we waited for In Flames. In the downpour. And made new friends.
In Flames eas good. No. Great. DINOSAUR!
That is not a song. Someone had brougth an inflatable dinosaur. On which the vocalist commented and got the chant of Dinosaur! DINOSAUR!" From the crowd and he apparently forgot this is Finland. I guess he thought saying"I want to see someone riding the Dino " was a joke. Still. Finland.
So, someone riding the inflatable dinosaur on people carrying Said dinosaur. In the pit.
I left through the pit because while In Flames was..well in flames I wanted frontrow of Butcher Babies. ( After I left it apparently went even more mental as flood of crowdsurfing began)
I went Mental with Butcher Babies. Carla and Heidi went to Yorktown and it was great show. And thsnkfully there was last december so I could rest and not have cardiac arrest. Will see them again for sure.
Managed to find the youth utterly spent and had a few as none of us gave a shit about Ville Valo. Though. The final heartfelt ballad "When love and death embrace" it is a pretty ballad. It is And it's a ballad.
So we had three person synchronized moshpit the whole song. Laughing.
They went sunday, me and Her went to movies.
Horns up!

Can't believe I got TUSKA 2024 (metal festival in Helsinki, biggest one in Finland) advertisement on tumblr. Why in the name of hell would they want to advertise on the gay sex website where finding a metalhead blog is harder than trying to cover Black Sabbath guitar riffs
Though I am the target audience, as I already have tickets.
