Shakra...

Post by eternity_strato » Tue Sep 13, 2005 7:20 am

will be the opening band in the european leg of the tour St+HF. At least there's a banner from AFM-Records promoting this band on a spanish web. They are swiss and make some good hard rock! Try to listen to them! :wink:

The songs of Shakra are fucking great.

I've seen live a couple of times and they kick ass....
It would be a nice experience, for those who don't know them, to see them live on stage!

Then, this may be the HF setlist (this is what they were playing last days of tour)

Secrets
Riders of the storm
Renegade
Let the hammer fall
Hammerfall
Drum Solo
Fury of the wild
Glory to the brave
Hammer of justice
Crimson thunder
Heeding the call
Blood Bound
--
Templars of steel
Hearts on fire

.............................................

and the strato setlist

01 - Maniac Dance
02 - Speed Of Light
03 - The Kiss Of Judas
04 - Legions
05 - Twilight Symphony
06 - Will The Sun Rise?
07 - Bass Solo
08 - The Land Of Ice And Snow
09 - United
10 - Against The Wind
11 - Season Of Change
12 - Father Time
13 - Coming Home
14 - Destiny
15 - Hunting High And Low
16 - Forever
17 - Black Diamond

Good music.
Shakra: 1hour, Hammerfall: only some stupid tunes at the nearest pub, in the same time playing that they are the strongest heroes of the world and Stratovarius after Shakra plays about 3 hours of fucking great songs!
Nothing to say.

Shakra - 3 hours
Hammerfall - 5 hours including coversongs
Stratovarius - 24 hours without stop playing every song from Future Shock to United, and there back to the beginning again :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

I agree with you htcdude.. That setlist sounded good, there are songs I definetly want to hear but they don't play Visions (southern cross) I guess it's so old-fashioned.. But fortunately I have the "Visions of Europe" -album. :D

I've seen them a couple of times now, and I'm no big fan of them. If they were not from my country, I would never have listened to them.

They played before Iron Maiden this summer, and it didn't really fit well. I think it would fit even worse with strato...

oh yes they will do! I have seen last weekend on the poster that the M-3-Tour will be supported by Shakra. I still can't wait until the gigs! It will be a wonderful evening that I promise!
