hardcore "Fans"?

melchen · July 11th, 2006, 12:00 PM

is there any information about hardcore fans travelling around the globe to see turisas live? we had one guy travelling from hungary to switzerland, only to see eluveitie live last weekend (by hitchhiking, with only 20 € of cash..)..!!!

well, i've seen turisas already several times in FIN, and the reason to chose the dates of travelling where connected to the concerts, but there was never "only" turisas, mainly there were bands like moonsorrow, korpiklaani or festivals on top of that and of course some days of sightseeing/meeting friends :-)

Thumbs up for the hitchiker guy!

I wouldn't call it "hardcore" but I need to go to Germany if I want to see a finnish band play.

well, I am sort of doing a bit of "harcore"-faning for another band, but I think Turisas are going to be my next victim when it comes to that

Wow, that's great! I would if I could, but I'm a bit too young and unemployed to do so yet

. Maybe in a couple of years time

I'm 15, 16 in a couple of months

. I can't purchase alcohol yet, or move out, so I guess I'm a bit too young to go travelling overseas to see one of my favourite bands

.

Wow awesome :P
