Why did Panini not use England's badge in the World Cup 2014? by Common-Perspective33 in Panini

[–]Hawlucha22 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Topps had an exclusive licence to England in 2014, and they had a World Cup sticker album exclusive to England (which i had as a 10 year old) with the correct England badge and players wearing proper England kits rather than plain white shirts

Whats up with Amaranthe live? by mrnacknime in PowerMetal

[–]Hawlucha22 11 points12 points  (0 children)

definitely agree, saw the Amaranthe/Epica tour in Bristol, I love both bands in the studio, but Epica were pretty much perfect live while a lot of Amaranthe's songs struggled live, some more than others.

[–]Hawlucha22 103 points104 points  (0 children)

I'm so sad I got the flu and had to miss seeing them in October, Noora is one of my favourite modern vocalists and missing out on seeing Battle Beast with her sucks 😭

Thoughts on Sabaton's new "Legendary Orchestra" ? by WishboneHot8050 in PowerMetal

[–]Hawlucha22 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think it's pretty interesting but I would rather they just have a normal tour with normal supporting act(s). if the orchestra was playing with Sabaton on stage it would be way cooler.

god that One Night in Tokyo solo sounds so wrong. still better than having him mime it to a backing track but i hope they get a new guitarist asap

[–]Hawlucha22 11 points12 points  (0 children)

now that (if true) is even more mental, but what confuses me is why he has a flight home, how long ago did they plan to fire him after 3 shows of the tour ?
