WE DO THE MASHED POTATO AND THE FUNKY CHICKEN

Whats wrong with this picture

Posted over 2 years ago
I have been poking around the internet looking at all the big festivals that will be taking place over the next few months. One caught my eye that has not been mentioned here on MOG. The festival is called the Graspop music festival, and takes place in Boeretang, Dessel, Belgium. Dessel is situated at approximately 50km northeast of Antwerp (Belgium) and 35km southwest of Eindhoven (the Netherlands). What started as just a summer music festival, has become a meeting ground for metalheads throughout the world. Anywhere from 80,000 to 100,000 fans flock to Graspop each year to see the whose who of metal music. I started looking through this years list of bands and one stuck out like a sore thumb. See if you can find the band that maybe does not belong.AEROSMITH - WITHIN TEMPTATION – TYPE O NEGATIVE - BLIND GUARDIAN - CELTIC FROST - THERION – SABATON – THIN LIZZY - GRAVE DIGGER – VADER – 1349 – PAIN OF SALVATION - AMORPHIS - IRON MAIDEN - KORN - HEAVEN AND HELL - LIFE OF AGONY - CANNIBAL CORPSE – TIAMAT - DIMMU BORGIR - ME FIRST & THE GIMME GIMMES - LAMB OF GOD - SIRENIA – BRUTAL TRUTH – DROWNING POOL - ATHEIST - OZZY - SLAYER – BLACK LABEL SOCIETY - CHILDREN OF BODOM - AMON AMARTH - FINNTROLL - CHIMAIRA - MOONSORROW - DEVILDRIVER - UNEARTH - KORPIKLAANI - IN THIS MOMENTTURISAS - ELUVEITIEThats right folks, punk cover band Me First and the Gimmie Gimmies will be playing with the rest of the metal gods. I can only hope this turns out better than when they played at the Pirates game this past August. In case you are wondering, they were set to play three nights in a row after the baseball game, and got fired after the first night. In case you are still wondering what this band sounds like, here is a video. While watching, imagine what a Lamb of God fan's reaction might be to it.

  15. Marta says Korpiklaani's best song is Vakirauta, so start there... There's alot of good bands there but you'll find better at many of Europe's other big metal festivals

  16. Marta says never really listened to Fort... but you need not worry about the vines anymore... Craig was diagnosed with mild Autism and now has different, better behaviour changing drugs...
