hansrubens Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 (edited) Hi everyone, Last weekend I visited Rock Am Ring at the Nuerburgring in Germany. As the concerts are right at the Nuerburgring and thus being close to the RingºRacer all weekend I just had to bring my camera and take some pictures of it. Since it was the 25th anniversary of Rock Am Ring Kiss played on thursday night. Just one stage was open that night and everybody was going to see Kiss so soon it was very crowed at Centerstage. I don't know the exact numbers but it must have been around 60.000 - 70.000 people. I'll just show some pictures of the thursday night.... This was our home for the weekend. And this was our view. With in the background the long straight of the old Nurburgring. Neighbours trying to put up a partytent. Germans like to play with wood. They managed to start a party. On our way to the Nurburgring circuit. Circuit map and... directions. The newly build 4 star Hotel. Yep almost there. Coaster!!!! I wonder when it will open. Festival people are nice. Rock Am Ring program. Just one bridge to cross. Getting through security. Like I said festival people are nice. Walking to the stage where Kiss will play. But first more important things. Like letting see the other stages of Rock Am Ring. At this tent you can get high with crazy Germans. Let's look inside if everybody's still alive. Cheers. Excitement. That drop looks pretty steep. Nice sexy curves. Launch strip. I had to climb one of that toilets to take the previous picture. Almost forgot to post the first part of the ride. It get out of the buiding here, turns and get launched in front of the grandstands climb that towery thing and get back into this building again. Simple huh?!? Getting closer to Kiss. Above are the Vips. Look at the crowds already. We tried to get so far as possible. Somewhere in the back Kiss is playing. Most of the times we had to watch the video screens. Awesome concert. Guitar!!! Are we excited or what? We managed to get a bit more in front. And during "I was made..." he was nice enough to get a bit closer to us. and after a long, long night and the sun already coming up again we found our tent back.

coastered Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 What other bands have you see @ Rock Am Ring, Only Kiss or have you seen Rammstein too? And speaking about RingRacer. Was there any kind of testing right now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansrubens Posted June 7, 2010 Author Share Posted June 7, 2010 ^ Yes I've seen Rammstein. It was yesterday evening and the show is just awesome plus when you're watching the show with 70.000 Germans it's even more awesome. And no they were not testing the coaster. I don't know if there is any testing going on right now but they certainly didn't test during Rock Am Ring. ---Hans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groteslurf Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Great report and pictures Hans. Wow, a lot of great bands were playing at RaR. How was Muse ? And Motörhead ? Do they play the loudest outdoor aswell ? What is there to see at the BMW M Power section ? Hopefully they'll manage to get Ringracer up and running still this year so that we can ride it still this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansrubens Posted June 7, 2010 Author Share Posted June 7, 2010 ^ I had to look back what you meant with the BMW M power section but it's just the name of a grandstand. It will be quite interesting though to visit the new facilities/museum if the coaster is open of course!!! We skipped Muse to see Volbeat. I've seen Muse several times before and I don't like their last album either. Motorhead is the loudest band on earth indoor and outdoor. We watched the show from a distance cause they played from 01:45 AM - 03-00 AM and I wanted to drinks some beers too. ----Hans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hansrubens Posted June 10, 2010 Author Share Posted June 10, 2010 ^ Thanks for adding the video. Rammstein was also very impressive especially this song where all of the 60.000 sing back in the chorus part. ----Hans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calicoasters Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 I've always loved Rammstein, especially their live act, but their apparel is very odd to me this tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got really excited when I saw that, sucks that's all it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
