A lot of the above listed bands and records were mentioned throughout the year on this blog.What a surprise...

I only went to a handful of shows this year including a Cro Mags show with Jon Joseph on vocals,Craig Setari on Bass and Macki on Drums.This one was just great,people flying everwhere and all the "Age of Quarrel" hits performed awesomly by these oldtimers hehe.

Another great show was Amos (the imperator of pop) in Osnabrück teaming up with Sven from Minion/Mörser to breath life into some music which could have been on the "Thriller" album by Michael Jackson....sounds weird but I really dig it.Go figure!

Geriatric Unit in Venlo definetly was my show highlight of the year (see the xtra post for a short summary of that event).

A letdown was missing Channel 3 (they played first) but arriving just in time to catch SNFU,D.O.A.,The Dickies and the Adolescents at a concert in Düsseldorf...Fuck!
