Finally... there was another Belgian Clawgig ! The Zeros and Heroes tour was coming to "Rock Ternat", which is the biggest "after summer" festival in Belgium. Tommy saw the Claws two days ago in Weert and he couldn't keep his mouth shut about all the great new songs that the Claws were doing live and how heavy they sounded even without Erlend. So that got me worked up and ready for the Clawgig ! The stupid thing about the festival was that the Claws were playing as the second band @ 16.45 ! If you know what "life style" the guys have while on tour, you may consider this hour as "very early in the morning" So off we went at around one in the afternoon, picked up a friend called David and drove to Ternat, where we met our Gods Of Metalrap on the bus (home is where the heart is !). They were going through the daily routine of playing some Vice City on the PS2. Damn it was great seeing them again ! Of course a big part of the Clawfamily was present: Maike, Ruud, Patric, Alex and Susie. Our Walon friend Julien was there as well. And then it was showtime !! I was on the side of the stage to take some pics while Tommy took David into the pit to have the time of his life...again ;-) What I saw was absolutely amazing ! Clawfinger blew everyone away, took all the attention of the crowd and turned the place into one big party. For the whole of the concert there was a great vibe hanging in the crowd and people were surfing like hell which inspired André (why am I not surprised) and even Zak to make a huge stagedive into the pit ! All the fans gave their best to turn this gig into one of the highlights of the festival (if you don't believe me, just check the guestbook on www.rockternat.be ) After the show, the Claws had a signing session, which gave the fans an opportunity to meet the band, what they really enjoyed by all means ! We even introduced the youngest Belgian Clawfinger-fan. Check out his pic in the picture section !!! We went back into the backstage area to get some beers, talk some more and have some more beers (I know, life is hard ! ) The next highlight of the day was still to come since the Claws agreed to have an afterparty at the "Dépot", which is...ahum... my bar We drove the bus to Steendorp where we park in the drive way. It looked like they shooved a bus in the Dépot's ass. Kinda huge that bus thing they have !! But we had a great time, about a zillion beers and a pizza dinner. Tommy's entire family showed up to meet the band their son was always nagging about ;-) A bunch of friends got word that Clawfinger was hanging out at the Dépot, so the place was getting crowded. Even Tud Russel was there to meet the band they were going to support in two weeks. Me and Zak had a little party of our own, since he finally got his hands on some new Zappa CD's I had for him. Damn man... everyone was very drunk. It was super ! The next morning Bard, Gustav, Henka and me went into town to get some food and afterwards we had a full blown Clawfinger breakfast ! And then it was time to get on the bus and prepare for the next gig. But we will meet again soon... for the gig of our lives ! TO BE CONTINUED !
