The Canadian hard-rock band entered in stage full of energy and rage. Although "The Brown Panther" was full of himself he could only reach some souls. Most of the visitors were more interested to get a beer or some food.

The German punk-rock band "Broilers" followed. With some drops of ska and soul mixed during the act could finally reached the German audience bringing some movement and heat to the scene. An interesting cover of "London Calling" from "The Clash" played near the end could reach even some who were resting and waiting for the main headliners.

For many the long waiting has ended Alice Cooper enter in stage for his only concert in Germany this year. Opening with "The Black Widow" the usual theatrical performance has made the explosion of the until then contained fans. Original clothes, good lightening, fireworks and death theme artifacts rule the scene. Despite the rain started to fall the song "Feed my Frankenstein" with a 4m beast on stage didn't let the fans get cold. The show wasn't complete without "the ballad of Dwight fry" and Cooper's execution by guillotine after its "resurrection" a Pink Floyd's cover "The Wall" was nicely interpreted.

Under heavy rain, from childes to elder-lies, the fans resisted anxious.

"We are Motörhead & We play rock n' roll!". Finally the opening line for long waited started a two-hour show of loud and fast rock n'roll. Stunning solos by the Mikkey Dee (drummer) and Phil Campbell (guitar player) amazed. With the base line up of "The World is yours", the band last work, Lemmy drove the crowd into madness with the classics like "Overkill" and "Ace of Spades". Indeed a memorial night for every Motörhead fan resisting even with the most adverse weather for the joy of pure rock n'roll.
