What's your reason for joining tshirtslayer?: 

As even most of my favorite bands don't produce (good looking!) longsleeves, I try to find old ones here. Besides, I think I can get to know new people.

Do you goto any festivals or shows?: 

Yes, as a fan of course and due to my job / passion: In summer I go to a festival every week, the rest of the year there are concerts in venues from smallish youth centers up to arenas with a capacity of say up to 15.000 or more fans. I hardly miss a tour and work with local artists & bands as well & often as with established bands, even big acts as for instance KISS, METALLICA, IRON MAIDEN, JUDAS PRIEST, NNE INCH NAILS, RAMMSTEIN, DREAM THEATER, TOTO, Bon Jovi, SLIPKNOT and AC/DC to name a few. My favorite festivals are first of all BRUTAL ASSAULT festival (in CZ), OBSCENE EXTREME, also in CZ and PARTY-SAN (GER, unfortunately at the same we as BRUTAL ASSAULT!!!). The other fests I used to and still go to have changed too much, for instance WACKEN (GER) or SUMMER-BREEZE (GER), GrasPop (NL), WITH FULL FORCE (GER), BANG YOUR HEAD (GER), they all have grown by far too big, most of them meanwhile have more than 2 or 3 stages, which is shite for the fans of the bands because in the worst case a fan misses part of his faves due to the fact that some of them play at the same time on different stages. All that happens is that things get more complicated and dead expensive! See GrasPop, HELLFEST, WACKEN, SUMMER-BREEZE... these fsts were awesome when they were a bit or a lot smaller. And other favorite festivals disappeared: DYNAMO Open Air (NL), FIELDS OF ROCK (NL), ZABBADUSCHDER (GER), FUCK THE COMMERCE (GER), DEATHFEAST (at Hünxe, GER), METALLIC NOISE (GER).

Favourite album ?: 

At present it is "Souls Of Damnation" of BLOOD RED THRONE, especially songs no 1 and 2.
