13 and 14 August, 2002 - Manowar at the Popkomm Gala - Cologne, Germany
as I could see with my own eyes now that all I ever thought about these dance - acts is true ( and as you guessed already - I didn't had really good thoughts about this ) AND that it is not bad that Manowar is playing here ..... Proves already for this came during the first rehearsels : of course all these dance - acts playbacked their song and needed many rehearsels before everything was set and done. Eric, of course, did a live - performance and after their first rehearsel a loud applause came out of the hall from the peo
le who were watching as with this first rehearsel they just blow everybody away, there was SO much quality difference between Manowar and the rest and Manowar wasn't afraid to do it live ! This repeated itself during the final rehearsel, where the press was invited too, you could see how overwhelmed everybody was, Manowar showed everybody how professional they are and it was good that people in the music - business could see this, Heavy Metal is alive and Manowar is only doing it the way THEY want to. The recording of the show went very well, it's just unbelievable you need 2 full days of rehearsing for a few minutes on stage for the recording. For 2 days we were surrounded by fake people, people who kiss eachothers ass, where make - up, clothes, hairstyling and dancing were the most important things for those acts, and that " fake - world " was overwhelmed all of a sudden by MANOWAR - who showed them what real music is like, who were professional, who performed live, and who is not kissing asses ...... The aftershow - party of this tv - show was the most funniest thing of all, never felt so out of place ; ), but still it was good to experienced this, as we all know in our heart MANOWAR is MANOWAR and that will never change, they do everything the way THEY want to ....
