Ratm-am-Ring

Rage against the Machine will perform live and united
at the Rock-am-Ring, Germany
June 06-08 2008!

This is breaking news for the kid who 1997 hadn't turned 18 and was not allowed to travel to the far off forests of Småland to see his then, as now, idols Rage perform on a stage near the lake Hulingen in Hultsfred. Now as then this band holds a special place in my heart. Their:

Fuck you I won't do what you tell me!

Their anger and straightforward heavy rap-metal or whatever they were labelled as, Zach's voice shouting straight in to the heart of a boy - and man - with some slight issues to confront and act on things. Tom's guitar picking that is now turned in to a Guitar Hero 3 - spin off and made mainstream, Tim's bass riffs and great rytm and all accompanied by Brad's drums.

Saying it's a dream come true isn't an understatement, and saying I look forward to it is not a lie either. Just need to polish my German-skills and actually be able to read that bloody page says since they refuse to go with an English version, but seeing how they have some 150 000 tickets it shouldn't be sold out very soon. (€125 for anyone willing to join up)
