I went to the finish fire tour last sunday, I was 4 bands that evening but the highlight was Korpiklaani. I was them for the 4th time and everytime is a big party.
There are also some great longhairs in the band, the violin player is bald on top but he still has very longhair.
I included a picture, not that clear because it was taken with my mobile phone.
Cool! Korpiklaani is a great band, they have some fun songs too!
Which songs do you like most?
I don't have particular favorites, but Beer Beer and Happy Little Boozer are just hilarious!
Happy little bozer is great indeed :)
They do put on a good show and I like the style, Reminds me of Wacken,

There coming to this edition of wacken again, probably gonna see them again there. It never bores me.
Indeed they are a very good band and I see they are playing at Wacken next year. No thanks for me next year a bit too much of a crush from this year and the line-up not that stunning so far. Still be quick get your tickets, 50000 people (what a crush) can't be wrong! 20 year anniversary or not, time to try out another festivals I think :-)
Cheers,

I agree, the last few years have been heaving with people and I'm ready for a break. I'm stunned so many tickets have sold already with such a minimal line up so far. With Maiden playing I don't think they were this far along in sales by this time last year. Go figure!

Hi Vincent,
Hey that's not bad for a mobile phone as that's what I've been using at concerts as of late.If your careful taking the shot it can come out really well and it looks like you were very close to the stage.I've never heard of that band but here in the US, unfortunately, such bands are not in favor but we do get some good ones coming to the NYC clubs.Oh I was wondering whats with what looks like moose antlers on stage or is that someone in the audience wearing them trying to be Rudolph for Christmas.LOL.

I was very close indeed but it's not a big venue so it wasn't to hard to get good places.
It's part of their image, there a folk metal group and always have the antlers on the microphone stand.
Lol about the christmas part that made me laugh.
First time I heard this band ever (Thanks youtube). Gotta love Folk Metal bands, what other bands opened for them?
Yeah folk metal is great, one of my favorite genres.
The first band was Falchion, with the acordeon player from Korpiklaani this was a harder band. Next up was Kivimetsan Druidi, grunt and female vocals together. The third was battlelore also a harder band. Korpiklaani was the most folk of them.
Thanks, I've never heard of any of these bands (until now of course).
Unfortunately, I've only ever seen one Folk Metal band live, which was Ensiferum when they opened for Amon Amarth, great show. Hopefully Wintersun and Eluveitie tour Toronto sometime soon (I missed Eluveitie's last tour :( ).
There not very known, I didn't knew two of the bands either.
Ensiferum is a very good band indeed.
I saw a lot of folk metal on the paganfest and the heidenfest, both great shows.
Eluvitie tours a lot so I'm sure you will get your change to see them.
