Just came back from Germany
« on: April 19, 2009, 02:11:43 PM »
Was epic, nearly missed the flight originally but we got there will a few minutes to spare!

First show in Solingen was good, but they thought we were too punk rock and didn't like what our singer did to one of the girls in the crowd during the last song!

Second show in Oberhausen (i think that's how you spell it) was great! The crowd loved it and also our singer did Adolf hitler impressions during the last song and somehow managed to stay out of jail :o

Third show in Frankfurt was crazy, our flight was at 10am this morning, we found out when we got there that we wouldn't be on till 2am!! So we though oh so that's pointless nobody will be there to even watch it. We were pleasantly surprised when it was packed out to the point where people had to stand outside the venue to get a listen. German's sure love their Saturday night/Sunday morning partying. So instead of going to sleep we just did an all nighter so i haven't had any sleep since Friday. Though our drummer fell ill a few hours before the show so we had to get someone else to fill in from another band.

Other fun things that happened or we found out are:
Incidents with POLIZEI
Getting a Mercedes Benz rental car and taking it on the lethal Autobahn
German's don't have a sense of humour
German's love to make you breakfast (particularly meaty) and buy you free beer.

What did your singer do?

I liked Germany when I worked there in '89 but haven't been back there since
I was in Bavaria but also did the Frankfurt Musik-messe

The Autobahn's were scary though

My other half is from Bavaria. Nice cheap beer, great food and sun. Just like the UK apart from the 3 bits I've mentioned.

and they keep in the proper lanes as well. i like the autobahn generally, the only thing i don't like about it are too short slip-roads when joining and leaving.

edit: in the UK people are really lazy about lane discipline. no way this is tolerated on the german autobahn. people only drive aggressive there when its fair. also german drivers don't really stitch each other up as much.

also i think germans have a great sense of humour!

bah :) seems i am a fan of the place

The Autobahns are a lot safer than our Motorways. I agree gwem they are better drivers in Germany. The driving in this country nowadays is appalling.

Many years since I have been to Germany. I really enjoyed myself and met some great people. Glad to hear that your gigs went well Joe even if your singer did make a prat of himself.
