  January 9th 2011 Non-Divine @ Doornroosje, Nijmegen
 
My 2011 concert year started early this year! In the first week of 2011 I went to see my friends of Non-Divine. Non-
  Divine played in the Doornroosje venue in Nijmegen. The Non-Divine guys played a great, but unfortunately a short
  show.

  Photos can be found here.

  In 2010 I've visited three more Feuerengel shows. Photos of the Hardenberg (05.11.2010) & Bochum (06.11.2010)
  shows can be found exclusively on www.feuerengel.de
  The third show was the Bremen 'surprise' show and I only made some videos of this show. These videos can be found
  here.

  The most special song of this night was the song for Matthias Arp....

it's been a while...
  It’s been a while since the latest update. The main reason for that is that I moved out ;-).
  Now everything is back to normal, so  we are ready to  rock on 2011.

 
I want to wish you all a very merry Christmas and all the best for 2011!
  I hope to see you all next  year again!

  July 11th 2010 Tower of Power photos online!

 
Totally unexpected we went to see the show of Tower of Power in Arnhem. They played in the cool venue Luxor Live,
  which is (so I heard) an old movie theater.

  For those who do not know Tower of Power, a quick introduction. Tower of  Power is a famous jazz-funk-soul band from
  the United States and they already exist for 42 years!! They definitely rocked the house and everyone was full of
  enthusiasm.

  This time no videos, but if you search Youtube you will find many Tower of Power videos.

May 8th 2010 Lord of the Lost, Traumtaenzer & In Viro @ Stahlwittchen Tour, photos online!
 

  On Friday May 7th Stahlmann played a show of their Stahlwittchen tour in the Bochumer Matrix. Other bands during
  this evening where Lord of the Lost, Traumtaenzer & In Viro. I went to Bochum  especially for Lord of the Lost. On
  request I also photographed the other bands.

  Traumtaenzer kicked the evening off with a short but good show. Very shortly after this show it was time for In Viro.
  They played a good show either, but it was not really my cup of tea.

  After In Viro the stage was clear for Lord of the Lost. It was great to see the band live again, and just to focus on the
  amazing show and making photos.  The band played only for an hour, but the whole Matrix was blown away. I think it
  is so great to see what the reaction of the audience is when the band starts playing the Lady Gaga cover Bad
  Romance


  This video shows what a cool cover this is
 

  The sound of the videos is pretty fucked up, because it's recorded with a small camera, but gives a good impression
  of the night.

  Lord of the Lost - Prison (new song)
 

  Lord of the Lost - Prologue
 

  Due to some circumstances I was not able to photograph the Stahlmann show, better luck next time ;-).

Lord of the Lost live @ Alando Palais 

  On Friday, April 9th, Lord of the Lost kicked off their “Fears Deutschland Tour 2010”. They did that at the cool venue
  “Alando Palais” in Osnabrück. Before the show I had the chance to interview Chris Harms, Sensai & Class from Lord of
  the Lost. This interview will appear online later. During the interview we’ve spoken about among others the debut
  album “FEARS”, about upcoming shows and about the choice of a third guitar player.

  During the show it was obviously that this choice was a great one. Letting Bo play the guitar parts from Chris makes
  Chris able to only sing on stage and give a great, great performance!

  The set list contained 2 new songs on which the band is working currently, further the set list contained several songs
  from “FEARS” and the cool metal cover of “Bad Romance” from Lady Gaga.


  Set list:

  Dry The Rain
  Epiphany
  Vicious Circle
  Prologue
  Nothing Words Can Say
  Prison
  My Deepest Fear
  To Die For
  Never Forgive
  Blind (Interlude)
  ‘Till Death Us Do Part
  Not From This World
  Bad Romance
  Last Words
  Break Your Heart
  Sooner Or Later

 

  This video from "Not From This World” is a sneak preview from the several videos we’ve made from the show. After
  editing the videos (the upcoming videos have a better sound) and the interview they will appear online, so stay
  tuned for more Lord of the Lost here on Rockpics.nl!

  A big thanks goes out to Chris, Sensai, Class, Bo, Any en Sebsta from Lord of the Lost for a great evening, the
  interview and a kickass show! Another thanks goes out to my mom Marjon for filming the interview and several songs
  during the show.

  March 13th 2010 First Feuerengel 2010 photos
  On Friday March 5th, Feuerengel played at the MK Total Rock Night in the Schützehalle in Lüdenscheid (D).  MK Total
  is a party weekend in the Märkischer Kreis and Lüdenscheid is a part of the Märkischer Kreis.

  Friday night was rock night and before Feuerengel the band Die Toten Ärzte from Hamburg played their show. This
  band is playing songs from the famous German bands  Die Toten Hosen and Die Ärzte.  They played a pretty good  
  show and the audience definitely enjoyed the show. But I'm convinced that the show would make more fun when
  you know the songs.

  Afterwards it was finally time for the Feuerengel show. Well what can I say? The show was super as always! The stage
  looked great, the pyros where hot, the sound & lights where was good! The set list contained one of my favorite
  songs from the Rammstein album WAIDMANNS HEIL. That song rocked!

  The complete set list:
  Rammlied
  Links 234
  Sonne
  Keine Lust
  Waidmanns Heil
  Herzeleid
  Sehnsucht
  Asche Zu Asche
  Mein Herz Brennt
  Liebe Ist Für Alle Da
  Rosenrot
  Mein Teil
  Pussy
  Feuer Frei
  Du Riecht So Gut
  Bück Dich
  Ich Will
---------------------------------
  Haifisch
  Du Hast

---------------------------------
  Engel
---------------------------------
  Ohne Dich

  After the show another surprise was waiting for us and it was SNOW. At least 25 centimeters of snow was fallen
  during the time we where inside the venue.
  I want to thank the guys from Feuerengel and of course their crew for a cool show and great evening. I also want to
  thank Madelon for all the fun this weekend.

  February 14th 2010 Rammstein live in Dortmund, Westfalenhallen


  It's Saturday February 6th, late in the morning, when I surf to the Rammstein website.  I read that there were extra
  tickets available for 3 shows. One of these shows was the show  in Dortmund.  Jelle came home that
  afternoon and I asked him if he wanted to see the show again. And of course! So we ordered the tickets and just one
  day later we drove to Dortmund.

  The atmosphere outside the venue was great. We found our places pretty fast (which was pretty extraordinary)
  because everyone was looking. We had some great places, for me they were much better then during the
  Arnhem show in December. Combichrist opened the show before Rammstein, it will not be my favorite band but
  they where way better than in Arnhem, but the sound in Dortmund was better.

  At 9 o'clock exactly Rammstein started their show with "RAMMLIED", this was the start of an amazingly good concert.
  I saw things happen on stage which I missed in Arnhem.

  Rammstein - Weisses Fleisch (Flake's Dance)
   


 
Rammstein - Wiener Blut
 

 
Sorry for the sound quality, videos are made with a small photo camera.

  In Germany  the song "ICH TU DIR WEH"  is forbidden, because it would be to violence. Instead of this song Rammstein
  played "REIN RAUS", with the "ICH TUH DIR WEH" act.

  All I can say that is was an amazing show and finally I saw Rammstein live as Rammstein should be! Rammstein photos
  can be found here.

January 31st 2010 CD-Releaseparty Dream Evil & Orden Ogan  

  Last Friday, January 29th 2010 it was time to kick off  the concert year 2010. I did this with a CD-release show of 
  Dream Evil. The last time I saw Dream Evil was on the Elsrock Festival here in Holland in August 2007. On this festival I
  had the opportunity to interview Dream Evil vocalist (you can read the interview here)

  Because it was almost 3  years after my last Dream Evil show, I was pretty exited to see the band live again and I was
  hoping for some good weather (no snow). But everything turned out fine and I managed to convince my mom to join
  me to see this show.

  When we arrived in Essen at the Turock venue (which is an awesome venue) the band Solar Fragment was playing
  the last 2 songs of their show. What I've seen and heard of this band was pretty good.  When their show ended we
  found our way to first row, at the right side of the stage.

  The band Orden Ogan started their show shortly after we found our places. For Orden Ogan this show was also a CD-
  release show .  They released their CD "Easton Hope". I must say I was really impressed by this band. A great
  band and cool music! You must check it out for sure (surf here to the Orden Ogan MySpace).

  A short video I've shot during the Orden Ogan show (sound isn't very good)
 

  After Orden Ogan it was FINALLY time for the Dream Evil show. The stage was set up pretty fast and right on time the
  Dream Evil show started! And what a show! Dream Evil kicked off the show with the song Immortal from their new
  CD "In The Night". It was great to see the band on stage again and they kicked ass! The set list contained some new  
  songs, but also some very nice oldies!

  01. Immortal
  02. In The Night
  03. Made Of Metal
  04. Crusaders Anthem
  05. Heavy Metal In The Night
  06. Bang Your Head
  07. In The Fires Of The Sun
  08. The Chosen Ones
  09. In Flames You Burn
  10. Fire! Battle! In Metal!
  11. United
  -----------------------------------------------
  12. Children Of The Night
  13. Chasing The Dragon
  14. The Book Of Heavy Metal

  Video of "The Chosen Ones"  (with crappy sound, but I was standing almost in the speakers)
 

  It was once again a great show! I want to thank the Dream Evil guys for an awesome show, the cooling down and the
  photos afterwards. See you soon again!

7th 2009 Rammstein live in the Netherlands

  On Sunday, December 6th 2009, after waiting for 4,5 years Rammstein returned to the Netherlands. This thime with
  their "Liebe ist für alle Da" tour.  And it was worth waiting!! After an stressed weekend (will Rammstein play or not? The
  show in Luxembourg was cancelled due to illness) we went to the Gelredome in Arhem.
  Ten minutes earlier then planned Rammstein started their show with an great intro and "Rammlied"! Rammstein
  played a lot of songs from the new album but they didn't forget about the 'old' hits.

  I can write a complete review about the show, but I won't, why not? You should go and check out the show yourself!
  In the meanwhile you can take a sneak peak of "Haifisch"

   

  And the photos can be found here.
  Note: photos are made with a small digital photocamera, so the quality isn't very good.

  was scheduled 5 days after Rammstein kicked off their "Liebe ist für alle da" tour. Feuerengel started their show with
  a song from the new Rammstein album, Rammlied. That was really awesome. In total the set list contained three
  songs from the new Rammstein album. The guys from Feuerengel did a really good job.

  The day after on Saturday November 14th, we drove to Bochum (

  coolest venues "Matrix".  The "Matrix" is a big venue with different levels with disco's, bars and a hall "The Tube" for 
  concerts. The Tube is a long and small hall with a round  ceiling, completly build of bricks.

  Yes, Feuerengel played the song "Pussy" twice. The audience in the Matrix was so full of enthusiasm, and when
  Feuerengel finished their set with "Stripped" the sold out venue screamed "Waidmanns Heil". Feuerengel doesn't play
  this song yet, but decided to play Pussy again.

  Hardenberg photos can be found here
  Bochum photos can be found here

  Then I just need to thank the Feuerengel guys for 2 awesome shows and Jelle en Madelon for all the fun that
  weekend. We need to do this again  very soon .

  September 25th 2009: Feuerengel live at Hotel Parkzicht, Veendam (NL)

  Last Saturday, September 19th, Feuerengel visited our little country for a nice show (again). This time  the show was
  in the small city Veendam (somewhere in the neighborhood of Groningen). Feuerengel played in a hall of a hotel so
  pyros weren't aloud this time. But no pyros means no barriers and no barriers means more fun!
  And fun we had! Feuerengel played a loud set list and managed to wake the whole hotel and the whole audience
  went crazy! Good job guys!

  The set list:

  01. Tier
  02. Du Hast
  03. Feuer Frei
  04. Laichzeit
  05. Sonne
  06. Bestrafe Mich
  07. Benzin
  08. Mein Herz Brennt
  09. Sehnsucht
  10. Asche Zu Asche
  11. Morgenstern
  12. Du Riechst So Gut
  13. Links 234
  14. Bück Dich
  15. Ich Will
  16. Amerika
  17. Engel
 18. Ohne Dich


  And I just love "Ohne Dich", when that song is in the set my day is made and so it was this day. Feuerengel keyboarder
  Thorsten didn't join the band during this gig, but his stand-in Sven Harms did an amazing job!

  Photos can be found here. Feel free to write something in the guestbook. A big thanks goes to the Feuerengel guys
  for a great show, a funny soundcheck and an awesome weekend. I also want to thank Madelon & Jelle for everything
  that weekend, we had a so much fun. And of course Eddy, Petra & Richard for a cool party!

  Next show planned is DRAGONFORCE somewhere in October in Germany!

  September 17th 2009: Spectaculum Infernum photos & short gig review

 
Last weekend, September 12th, I travelled to a place named "Northeim", Northeim is in Germany, about 100
  kilometers under Hannover. Somewhere there in Northeim is an amphitheater named "Waldbühne". A festival
  named "Spectaculum Infernum - aus Feuer und Stahl!" would take place here.  When I arrived at the Waldbühne it
  was somewhere in the middle of the forest and when I  finally entered  the amphitheater I was amazed! It looked so
  cool, it was like I travelled trough time and landed somewhere in the Middle ages, but with visitors from now.

  The line-up this day in running order was:
  Stahlmann
  Saltatio Mortis
  Feuerengel
  Corvus Corax


  And not to forget Pestilenzia, this band walked trough the whole amphitheater and played music and danced with
  the visitors. They did this between the other bands to entertain the audience.

  After meeting Anja and Florian I looked around and was totally blown away by the Stahlmann show, what an
  awesome band and what a cool show!  I definitely must have their CD. In the  meantime I also met the other
  Feuerengel guys and crew.

  After Stahlmann it was time for Saltatio Mortis, the guys played a good show, but it isn't my kind of band. So during
  this show I explored the Waldbühne and searched for cool places to make my photos for the Feuerengel show.

  As always the Feuerengel show was very, very good. This time with a big pyroshow. And for a change I wasn't
  front row during the show. I've seen this show from everywhere at the Waldbühne. Especially when I was somewhere
  halfway the stairs of the theater I had a good view! I must say that the Feuerengel show looked even more
  impressive from further away.

  The Feuerengel set list
  Tier
  Feuer Frei
  Sonne
  Du Hast
  Asche zu Asche
  Morgenstern
  Benzin

  Du Riecht So Gut
  Bück Dich
  Engel
  Ich Will

----------------------------
  Amerika
  Wollt Ihr Das Bett In Flammen Sehen

----------------------------
  Hallelujah
  Ohne Dich


  The last band was Corvus Corax, the stage looked pretty impressive, but unfortunately their show wasn't very
  impressive. We watched a view songs but it was cold and for me a long day so we decided to go back to the hotel.

  It was an awesome festival, the photos of the bands are online and can be seen here.

  I want to thank at the first place the organization for a cool festival , Stahlmann for their great show, Anja for all the
  fun and some special photos. Of course a big thanks goes to Boris, Daniel, Florian, Holger, Thorsten, Christoph and the
  whole Feuerengel crew for a great day and an awesome show! And a special thanks  to Stefan for convincing me to
  travel to this festival  and all the fun!

  September 5th 2009:
Feuerengel photos & Interview with Denied

 
It took a little while but the photos from the two Feuerengel gigs are online now. Feuerengel played on Friday August
  28th at the Stöppelhaene Festival in Raalte (NL) and on Saturday August 29th at the Huntenpop Festival in Ulft.

  The Stöppelhaene gig was an outdoor show and of course that day was a rainy day. But that didn't stop anyone
  from visiting the show. When Feuerengel started the whole square was filled with audience and the band gave a
  short but hard set filled with all famous Rammstein songs and fire! Note: before Feuerengel the Dutch band "de
  Heideroosjes
" played a great show, a view photos can be found in the Feuerengel gallery.

  Day 2 was a show on the famous Dutch festival Huntenpop, it was a sunny day, so everyone was happy that today's
  shows was in a tent. During this show the whole tent was full 'till the back and the audience was blown away thanks
  to a great show. The reactions  have been awesome!

  Photos from both days can be found here.

  June 21st 2009:
Sonisphere festival with Kamelot & Metallica

 
Yesterday was the very first edition of the Sonisphere festival. The Sonisphere festival is a traveling festival in Europe
   with as head liner Metallica.

  The line-up for every festival is different and the line-up for the Dutch Sonisphere was:
  Metallica
  Slipknot
  Korn
  Down
  Lamb of God
  Kamelot
  Pendulum

 
  The bands "The Sword" and "Mastodon" where booked for this festival too, but due to several reasons they had to
  cancel their shows.
  Pendulum opened the festival and well, it isn't my music, but in the meanwhile we had the chance to meet some
  friends and have fun. After the Pendulum show I went to the stage and there I watched the Kamelot show from third
  row. It was so great to finally see Kamelot live again after one-and-a-half years. They played an awesome but short
  set.

   
My Sonisphere videos

  After Kamelot we hung out with our friends from ChapterOne and had loads of fun.  We watched Korn from the VIP-
  deck and I must say that it was a great show. Korn is not really my kind of band, but they played a great show.
  The Metallica show was simply very, very good. we had great places in front of the stages , approximate 20 rows
  from the stage. We could see the whole stage and show with fire works.

  Metallica set list:

  Blackened
  Creeping Death
  Holier Than Thou
  Harvester Of Sorrow
  One
  Broken, Beat And Scarred
  Cyanide
  Sad But True
  Welcome Home (Sanitarium)
  The Judas Kiss
  The Day That Never Comes
  Master Of Puppets
  Dyers Eve
  Nothing Else Matters
  Enter Sandman
  - - - - - - - -
  Stone Cold Crazy
  Phantom Lord
  Seek and Destroy


  And now the day after I almost completely lost my voice, but it was a kickass day with loads of fun. Photos are up.

June 14th 2009: Drum clinic Casey Grillo

 
Last Friday, 12th, and Saturday, June 13th, Kamelot drummer Casey Grillo hosted his first drum clinics in Europe,
  more specific, here in the Netherlands. I've visited one of these clinics on Friday, June 12th 2009. Casey gave his
  clinic at Drumstation in Eindhoven.

  Casey's promotion video:      

  During his clinic Casey played several songs from several styles of music and of course some Kamelot songs. He also
  told about his experiences of drumming and performing and answered questions.

  During Kamelot shows it is always very difficult to photograph Casey, so this was for me a great opportunity.  You can
  check out the photos from Casey's drum clinic here.

  Next week is the Sonisphere festival here in the Netherlands with Kamelot & Metallica. That will be the next
  Rockpics.nl update, so stay tuned!

  June 7th 2009: New Website online & Photo update
"The Queen Spectacular"


  Today is the day that the new Rockpics.nl website came online! Finally ;-). The reason for that is that I was very busy
  with other things and I didn’t exactly know what I wanted for the new website. The site that I’ve made now sufficed
  with my wishes. As you can see, several pages of the site are still under construction. But the main page is totally up
  and running now. The other pages will be updated in the next weeks.

  Yesterday night (Saturday June 6th 2009) I went with my parents and both brothers to
The Queen Spectacular. The
  Queen Spectacular is an “Legendary Tribute to Freddie Mercury”. During the 2 hour show the band played all the
  Queen hits, including a huge show! Photos of this show are online on the renewed
www.rockpics.nl and can be found
  here
. I’ve also uploaded a video on YouTube which you can check out here
.
