Hei alle sammen! Welcome to Tons of Rock!
Well I'm here for one more edition of Tons of Rock, I really liked
last year's edition so I came back and even better, as press!
I start this video saying thank you
for watching the videos
liking it, sharing it, because this is thanks to you!
Today is Wednesday, June 20th
I'm alone for now
because Thomas and my friends are parking the car
so I came here very quick to do my accreditation
because it would take longer time.
The festival is happening from Wednesday to Friday
it changed a little because of Ozzy Osbourne's agenda
that's tonight's headliner. We arrived a little late
because Thomas had to work, a friend of mine had to work
so that was the way, it's around 6pm
we are getting in and the first band we are watching
is Gaahls Wyrd.
Well now we're doing the Cashless.
I've just done for me and Thomas, let me show you
it's raining a lot, but it's a card
just like last year, you can fill it up with how much you want
then you can buy beer, food, merch, everything, with this card.
It's the day after but yesterday I couldn't do
the final scene leaving the fest
and reviewing how was the day because yesterday
there was around 10.000 people watching Ozzy
and we stayed till the end and you can imagine 10.000 people
leaving by the same door
leaving either to the camping or to the parking lot
and as a plus it's raining a lot when we left
so I decided to talk to you guys today.
Yesterday we watched basically only 3 concerts, that was Gaahls Wyrd
and for the ones that likes everything that Gaahls does it's nice
he plays songs from God Seed
Gorgoroth and of another project he has that won't remember the name now
sorry, I like when he plays old Gorgoroth, but
it's a cool concert, I thought this one was even better than
I saw at Midgardsblot last year, I liked this one more.
It was also good because I saw it from the first row
I'm trying to reach the first row to show you guys
at least at the tent stage. What did I see after that?
Ah, I saw Wardruna, which was amazing!
It was one of the best concerts
from yesterday, even though I saw only 3, it was amazing.
Wardruna always surprises with the amazing quality
of sound, images, lights
it was amazing, I loved it.
And after that was Ozzy Osbourne, that was super good as well.
It's not a band I usually listen at home
but it was his last tour and I was a little emotional
because it's been exactly 10 years since I saw him for the first time in Sao Paulo
in 2008, and it was like a closure in a cycle
between him and me, my relation with Ozzy
started very early because my dad loves him
so he was always present in my life
since I was a kid. It was super cool
because he only played hits, the stage was also amazing
Zakk Wylde was also amazing.
That's it. That was yesterday but I am
leaving to my second fest day and we talk when I get there.
Just got here for the second day. It's raining
as you can see but seems like it will stop during the night.
Now we have about 10 minutes...
So, we are running in because At the Gates
starts in 10 minutes and we talk again later!
Well I just got myself some food and there is a lot of options
even vegan and vegetarian
So I got a plate with ribs, chicken, sausage and
chips because it's the only gluten free option I could find.
It cost NOK 140.
Thomas got two slices of pizza and each of them cost NOK 40.
Second day is over
actually W.A.S.P. is still playing but
I don't like it.
Me and Pati are going to the car
while the guys finish watching the concert because it's super cold.
Well, today I saw At the Gates
it was raining a lot but it was good, I love At the Gates
It was amazing.
After that I saw Ragnarok that was also good
the sound in the tent stage is better today so it was very nice
After that I recorded a little from Abbath
because to be really honest since that happened at Inferno
if you have no idea what I am talking about click here and watch the video
but I lost the interest in him
so I didn't watch it but I recorded a little because I know you guys like him.
After that was Alice in Chains, an amazing concert
that I waiting so many years to watch it
and finally I made it and I got super happy to listen
my two favorite songs, Nutshell and Would?
I'm super happy, it was fantastic!
After that I saw Marduk that was an amazing concert
it was brutal!
And now headliner is W.A.S.P.
that I'm not a fan but the concert is very beautiful.
So that's it, I'm going home and we talk more tomorrow.
Just arrived to the third and last day
It's friday and we arrived a little bit earlier
It's almost 5pm and the first band
we are seeing is Soulfy. It's not raining today
Well. It's the day after, it's Saturday
but yesterday i arrived very late home
almost 4am, so I had no time
to finish the video for you guys that's why I am sitting here now
to talk about yesterday and also give you my final review.
To start, the concerts I saw yesterday, wasn't that much but
there wasn't that many bands I wanted to see.
The day started with Soulfy, I had zero expectations but the concert was super amazing
It was so good, the sound was perfect
Max had an amazing stage presence
He brought a "berimbau" to the stage
he talked about Brazil many times so I felt proud
I will never forget where I came from, how I got here
and seeing a brazilian on a stage from a big festival
here in Norway, just makes me proud about it.
So I really loved it. After that I saw Opeth
that's one of the bands of my life
I really love them but even though the set list
is full of new songs
from this new phase
I still enjoyed it a lot, I will always love
seeing Opeth live, it was a very good concert.
After that was Helloween, wich you might know I'm not a fan
in fact I don't like the band
but I was together with some friends that wanted to see it and it was ok
this show is part of that tour
everyone from the band's history plays together
so there is like 7 people on the stage.
And the headliner was Kvelertak, if you don't know them
you MUST!
It's a band from Norway
that has also fantastics concerts
It wasn't my first time seeing them and seeing them
in a big festival, like Tons of Rock, was amazing.
The sound was perfect.
A lot of cool effects on the stage, lights
I can only give compliments to this Tons of Rock's edition
because all of the concerts were super good.
I was even talking to my friends and thinking
what was the best concert, or the bests concerts
aside from Alice in Chains that's the band I wanted to see the most
because I waited a lot of years to see them for the first time
and the concert itself was incredible
all the others were also very good
even bands I'm not really into,
bands I didn't know before, or bands
I saw again, all were good
sound was very good, organisers, everything
so I'd like to say congratulations to Tons of Rock
because this edition was amazing, I liked it
even more than last year. Now talking about prices
because I think I haven't talked about it during the fest
so I made notes of some prices
talking about merch, I only bought
one t-shirt, that was this one from Alice in Chains
a blue t-shirt!
I think this was very beautiful and all the shirts
cost around NOK 300.
There wasn't that many options from the bands I like
so I bought only this one because I really loved it.
Price of food was around
NOK 150 each option
there was also snacks
like pizza slices that was around NOK 40 and NOK 50
just so you guys can know if you are planning to come to Tons of Rock.
Beer cost NOK 89
Soda NOK 49
Still talking about prices I told you guys we did the Cashless
that was the payment system of this year
you just fill up this card with the money you intend to spend
and the news for this years, which I think it was amazing, because
there wasn't possible to do the refund of the money
and this year it was so
we filled it up with some money and before coming home it was just
insert the card in the machine and take the money back
this was super nice!
I'd like to say thank you to Tons of Rock that gave me the opportunity to come as press
this year, I really loved it and here is my
badge, with my name and Hey Norway's name
I felt so happy, this is an amazing achievement
as you know I was already super happy to go to Inferno as press
and now going to Tons of Rock was incredible.
I need to say again that the organisers
for press at the fest was amazing, there was
a resting room with computer
chairs, tables, toilets, soda
water, coffee, snacks, chocolate, all there to be eaten
for the people from the press
I wasn't expecting that at all
Talking about infrastructure, organisation
everything was 100%, once again I want to
say that the toilets were very clean
It rained a lot so the floor
was dirt because everyone had mud on their shoes
But in general, toilet, sink,
there was even mirrors in the toilets cabins
were very clean. I think only one thing
I have to say as a negative thing about this edition
The festival started on Wednesday
so it was from Wednesday to Friday
and those are not good days specially for the ones who works
And I really wanted to see a band that played at 3pm
on Wednesday and this was impracticable for me
because Thomas works, a friend of mine as well
so we could only leave a little bit later to get there
and unfortunately I couldn't see it
I really think next year it could be from Thursday to Saturday again
But this only happened because of Ozzy Osbourne
they had to adjust the festival dates
to have Ozzy on the lineup and it was cool
because Ozzy's concert had more than 10.000 people
so that was my only complain about the fest.
This was an amazing edition, for sure the best concert
was Alice in Chains because I was looking forward to it
and it met all of my expectations
and all the other concerts that were also amazing I hope you liked
to follow a little of this year's edition with me
Thanks to you because it was because of you that I got a press pass
covering 100% of the festival giving my best
So like this video, share it and keep on sharing it
so I can go back to the festivals and record more
and share my experience with you
That's it, we see again in the next video. Ha det bra!
