somewhat atypical Festival which offered us the City of Getafe and promoter LastTourInternational, mostly by the heterogeneous mix of styles that brought groups. To think that by trying to please everyone would make more people go was a mistake, and the numbers showed: neither of the two days amounted to 25,000 spectators in spite of having much weight bands. Although the economic crisis and the tremendous heat that also had provided insurance to see.
Viewing lineup before they were defined times my desire was to have been distributed so that the most "alternative" one day and touched more "heavys" another, but the organization chose to mix them all surely with the intention of trying to entice people to be bought to bear two days.
Once the distribution of groups met my preference was clearly for Saturday, because the only I liked the group Friday was Slayer and had already seen. At the time the main motivation pushing me to buy tickets for Saturday was the presence of Heaven & Hell, but the unfortunate relapse and subsequent death of He upset all these plans. Also bought the entry despite the absence of the early formation of Black Sabbath, but also wanted to see Megadeth, Soulfly and Rammstein (and why not, the Deftones, a group in my teens I liked a lot).
few weeks before it was revealed where the festival would take place: in an industrial area lost by the hand of God to the north of Cerro de los Angeles by Getafe. And virtually incommunicado by public transport. The more I searched the site because I liked least was practically forced to use the technique of going a day earlier to leave the car parked strategically in order to easily return him after the festival, but leave the car two nights left to die in a industrial estate did not make me any grace. Fortunately, the estate has a security firm that has a patrol car so the car was more or less secure.
Unfortunately appeared an item that I had planned and which had not had to deal in any other previous concert couple of days before I caught a good cold (puto curro uncontrolled air conditioning) that I was pretty knackered and I could not recover in time. So the plan for that day was tabletting to the eyebrows of paracetamol, drink plenty of water (despite the unfair price) and bring plenty of tissues. And saw what I was exhausted and I decided that I would not put in the Mogollon and see the concerts from a distance, I take good video camera to record everything I could. On the day my cousin took us around 2 pm my brother and me to the said estate. In the picture I can see giving the directions to go home. And after discovering that my car had not suffered any damage expect under the shade of a tree for a while until the doors opened.

FIFTH AMENDMENT
Once inside the sun we took refuge in the tent closest to the door, where there was a bar where they served drinks and was also the position for night dj. In front we had the stage 2, which was playing Fifth Amendment, power metal band from Madrid, but we could not him right in the middle because we had another tent with open bar. We encourage you to get closer when we heard they were going to play like last song Valhalla Blind Guardian, they went very well.
HAMLET Then we went to the stage 1, where he was to play Hamlet. I do not wanted to get the sun and start to wear me being constipated preferred to reserve for the shows that interested me, but I was to accompany my brother (and also to see if Pilar Rubio, the girlfriend of singer looked out there, but at the end did not appear). Of little I can say because I barely know, but my brother told me many good songs were left in the ink and the singer was pretty weak, but that's normal. Although he makes connecting very well with the audience sang a song from the moat, climbed fences to control the public, and also crossed the corridor linking the gulf to the sound tower and sang another song from it. And of course jumped at the chance to make your prediction for the World Cup final: he said we would win 3-0.
These are the songs that my brother remembers
No Man's Best Friend
Living is an Illusion
denounce God Irrational
Before and After Seven Stories
Different Limit yourself
During this concert we saw the main flaw in the organization of the festival, most of the enclosure was installed over a field of land coupled with the slight breeze and people jumping dust storms caused about unbearable. Many people (including us) had to wear the shirts as a dust mask to avoid swallowing. It was a great inconvenience to the concerts held in the Stage 1.
DEFTONES
About 19:15 we headed to the scene about 1 for my brother could get into the scrum and I could choose a good place to record a video with my camera, decent from a distance. Despite the hour, the sun still punished harshly. Arrivals at 19:30 technicians were still on stage so it started a little later than expected. This was the setlist they played:
Headup
My Own Summer (Shove It)
Diamond Eyes
Rocket Skates
've Seen The Butcher
Prince
Sextape Birthmark
Root
Minerva
Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away) Lotion
Change (In the House of Flies) Passenger
7 Words I have no
much to say about them because as I said before and not follow them or hear them, but who was retained and is thankful they played almost all their best songs (missing Back to School). Just note that Chino Moreno also sang a song from the moat and perched on the fences that his voice seemed very good, just as in the discs. When I went to Lotion over another scenario to take place to save Max and his henchmen.
Headup
My Own Summer (Shove It)
Root
Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away)
SOULFLY
Fortunately the sun burned less, but to give more troubled side. Also a little later on the scheduled time began the show's ex-leader of Sepultura and his henchmen, who gave their all and were the best of the festival, highlighting the masses like few others. This was their setlist:
Blood Fire War Hate
Prophecy
Back to the Primitive
Seek 'N' Strike
Refuse / Resist (Sepultura)
Bloodbath & Beyond Lotman / Walk (Pantera)
Porrada
Unleash
Attitude (Sepultura)
Roots Bloody Roots (Sepultura)
Jumpdafuckup
Eye for An Eye
Remarkable is that a song was the son of Max, named Igor in honor of his brother, playing drums, and in another moment of the performance Max tried to make a wall of death that the truth was not too soon. It also had the detail to make your prediction for the World Cup final, saying the Dutch would win 2-0.
Blood Fire War Hate
Refuse / Resist
Porrada
Roots Bloody Roots
Jumpdafuckup and Eye for an Eye
Once I looked over to my brother, just after the Deftones concert ran to get into the loads of Soulfly and miraculously got it. It was time for dinner because Alice in Chains did not interest us and we did. Since there was a lag in time was precisely the injured This group, which had to shorten his performance say that Megadeth started on time. MEGADETH
I would have liked at least in this concert to be near the stage to enjoy it, but if you hold the camera for recording and a torture because I assumed my pitiful physical condition, hold in the mass would have been impossible. So again I searched for a place to record at a distance. And what made me angry, because the concert was great. Mustiane had already seen last year in Leganés accompanying the Judas and then I thought it was very cold and distant, but this time he saw a lot more dedicated and complicit with the audience. 10 to his performance. The intro was very funny, while the music played the title track of Black Sabbath was a voice reciting something in English, but with distortion on the volume I did not understand anything.
Wake Up Dead In My Darkest Hour
Headcrusher
Holy Wars ... The Punishment Due Hangar 18
Poison Was the Cure
Tornado of Souls
Trust
Angry Again A Tout Le Monde
Sweating Bullets Symphony Of Destruction
She-Wolf
Peace Sells Mechanix
Repeating Holy Wars (but only the fast part there is at minute 4:37)
And here are the videos I recorded : Wake Up Dead
In My Darkest Hour
A Tout Le Monde
Symphony of Destruction
RAMMSTEIN
When I saw compis Mustaine and began to repeat Holy Wars of realized that it was the end and my brother and I went running to the stage 1 to take a good place to record the Germans from afar, because neither of us wanted to try lying in the scrum that was already formed (apart from fatigue accumulated dust clouds that were not encouraged to do so). And the show started on time. They started with the same song as the concert Sports Palace, and have been using for the tour of this album, Rammlied , and when it broke the curtain dropped to show a huge German flag which also fell a few seconds later. Fortunately, in the World Cup we will remove them because but probably would have dropped everything, hehe.
Here is the list of songs, almost equal to last year in Madrid:
Rammlied
B +++++++++++
Waidmanns Heil
Keine Lust Feuer Frei! Weiner Blut
Frühling in Paris
Ich Dir Weh Your
Ohne Dich
Benzin
Links 234
Du Hast
Pussy
Sonne
Haifisch Ich Will
And although the performance was virtually a carbon copy, I must say that I found slightly lower. For example the entry on stage at the Sports Palace was much more spectacular, pretending that made holes in the curtain with a torch. Of course, when Flake (the keyboardist) was launched to sail over the audience in his boat during one of the latest songs, this time was much longer, and every time he came on stage that beckoned him wanted to continue enjoying is possibly the most fun for him throughout the performance (always said that the music does not make full, which is blank). Here are
videos we recorded:
Rammlied
Feuer Frei!
Ich Dir Weh Your
Benzin
Links 234
Du Hast
Someone
I liked it better than the previous performance was Til, who at least gave us some words in English (no big deal, "we", "petrol", "Rammstein loves you" and little else). It is also interesting say that for the encore mislead us all, because at the end Pussy all the lights were lit and the technicians came on stage and compenzaron to remove things, which made many we started to leave. And until several minutes later did not start with Sonne.
And that was it, and we had no energy or desire to listen to another group who came to the festival we did not know, Meshuggah. We took the car and house, happy with the show lived.
