Nope, I wasn't there. I just read the news, but it seems, that Jens was wrong with 6 decibels. :D
I'm going to attend the shows in Vienna and in Budapest. Anyoen coming to either of them please send me a PM.

I wasn't there either. I was only in Switzerland. But I know a girl, she was in Vienna and weard a Hammerfall-shirt (red?) maybe, in front of the stage. Maybe you have seen her 8)

I'm looking to see them somewhere anywhere (in the galaxy? They could play louder than Manowar :lol: )

Actually, I'm going to see her in some hours, as the show is on tonight.

The sound was too much loud...I would prefer they have played only with 70 db. :D

Same to me! I don't like when concerts are too loud so I cannot enjoy it like other gigs. I'd prefer a good level of volume... At last not everything shall be as loud as possible

Yeah, and on the show in Vienna, I hardly could hear Koti. :?
Next time, I hope that the instruments won't be this loud.

This is the problem with metal shows : sound-engineers give more importance to the instruments (especially bass guitar and drums) and forgot the voice as they think it's secondary. That's a real catastrophy. :(

It reminds me the last show of Angra in Toulouse, where i couldn't hear very well, the voice of Edu. It was a bit disappointing. :(

I don't like it when the Mixers work bad! They have too much might in the hand and can change a gig to a wonderful event or even to worst sound ever heard...
I still prefer a good mix of loudness. Not too loud but even not low.

For me it's very important to hear the synthetizers. Jens was very quite unfortunately. :( And the most important part is the vocals. It's obvious that the crowd wants to hear the lyrics and sing along with the singer of the band.

I really hope that the guys read this and tell their sound technicians to change some things.
