O . M . F . G . .... that was just incredible .... guys, they were AMAZING, Kyo didin't make even ONE false note ... The higher parts wer pure perfection
Some say that this performance was even better than the one in Drezden ! The fans were amazing, After their reactions I can say that DEG didn't even think they had such powerfull fanbase here. they were at first a little surprised an then all smiles
They had SO much energy it was hard to breathe xD I was on Kaoru's side, in the first row, very near to the speakers (I always end up in that place for some reason
). Oh, and Kyo didn't cut himself or spit out blood. On how they were recieved - better than i imagined
Some Tool fans even clapped after Concieved Sorrow
But majority of their opinions is that - they were not what I was expecting ( i don't know in what way -_-), not my taste, and they had some issues with them being posers who does everything so the fans will like them. Of course there was some pretty bad opinions .. but well, Tool an DEG aren't really close musically so it is understable ... On the back were some booers, but they were drowned out by us xDD haha
Tool fans kind of ignored them xD Oh well ... we were great, the band liked us and that is all that matters
THE HIGHLIGHTS (geez, the whole performance was one big highlight xD) :
- When G.D.S. ended Kyo sprayed us with water
I was like - so soon ?
- Kaoru, Toshiya and Die changed places at some points ( i didn't see that on other Festivals, but who knows ..)
- Kaoru showed us MANY versions of 'teh manly stances', and as always he headbanged
- Toshiya constantly flirted with the audience
- Kyo showed us the finger during ASoM
We returned the gesture
- Kaoru nearly every 5 minutes banged himself on the chest (heart to be specific), I guess he was really glad of our reaction
- During Concieved Sorrow, Kyo climbed up to his box (XD), turned to the side, kneeled down and veeery slowly lied down on his back singing xD That caused many nosebleeds i suppose ^^;
- Kyo of course took off his T-shirt and ... he singed ( or should I say trashed all around the place and screamed) with the T-shirt on his head xD He looked like some executioner x) The sound and view was quite interesting
- At the end Toshiya climbed up to Kyo's box (XD) and bowed to us with his hands put together to thank us
We were really touched
- Before the concert i looked to the speaker next to me and began wondering ... what if Kaoru would stand on it ? It was kind of below the stage and looked solid so ... but 'meh' i said 'impossible' ... and what a surprise when he actually did just that xD We rocked out to him, he rocked out to us and looked at the speaker .. then to us ... then to the speaker again .. then to his feet (xD) and walked over to stand on it to be closer to us
And he spitted on some people xD They were in heaven xD
- They all feeled up the crowd more (as if that was even neccesary xD). Kyo showed us to clap our hands, some 'standard' gestures (The Final - hand in the air for example) and he danced a lot
. Kaoru, Toshiya and Die showed us with their hands to jump more and more, and then placed their hands to their ears so we should scream more x) Our throats and limbs are non-existent at the moment xD
- The look on their faces where we all started to sing ... priceless .. at one piont in The Final on a short while we even drowned out Kyo for a bit xD
- They throwed lots of pics, Shinya throwed 4 drumstics, and then .. we had a shower xD They decided to 'cover us in water' litterally xD Everyone throwed bottles at us - theirs (half finished) and not touched ones as well
That was kind, we needed water badly T_T Everyone shared the water between them, there was no possesive fangirlism over bottles
... another surprise ..
- The look on Toshiya's and Die's faces when they gazed at each other and smiled
- The proud look Kaoru gave us
- Shinya's little glances behind the drum set xD
- Kyo's emotions through the show and then ... calm gaze
All in all they acted like it was their concert and not a Festival xD Audience did a really good job
I was very surprised, in a good way

Backstage highlights :
- Some fans went on a walk around Spodek (the place when the Festival was held) and spotted some DEG members on the parking ^^ . They saw Kyo who was running with a towel on his head and wearing tracksuit xDDD So they walked over to the crate. But Kyo hid himself already xD But .. Shinya came out, he was at first atempting to ignore them, but finally gave in and looked at them xD Then Die came out and waved at them, they waved back, and Die gave some autographs ^^
- When Diru's concert ended - some fans went running to the back entrance to have some autographs and such
about 15 - 20 people made it
I didn't though T_T . But i buyed 'WTD' so i'm happy
