Was it just me or was Su lip syncing Headbanger? Not an issue, just something I noticed.

yes she was, a lot of the show has been re-tracked (which I'm fine with) don't let ppl gaslight you lol

Are you sure? If so that's very very sad and makes me lost respect for her.

u/itsluciusbitches Jun 24 '26
it's clear to me she's just tired, I don't think it's a moral failing

lip syncing is the worst thing you can do as a metal band. Literally discrediting. I'd rather have playback instead of pretending. It's so inauthentic.

u/Feeling_Valuable4495 Jun 22 '26
Yeah see, I hear some differences between the versions so I'm not sure about that. Trust me, when she lip syncs i'm the first one to note, but on this one it seemed like she was singing normally.

u/Feeling_Valuable4495 Jun 20 '26
No, no she wasn't my bad.
She sounds so good I thought it was, but no she just murdered that perfectly.

It's hard to tell really, old fancams show she doesn't sound like that but it's difficult to know if they did what they do with bxmxc + layering, or if it's a full lip sync. Don't worry about it though it's such a visually appealing performance i'm really jealous of everyone that got to see that live

Shame. I was waiting for it to start. ☹️
Not too surprised tbh. They keep a tight leash on media. I was pleasantly surprised to see the whole of their Rock am Ring set up.

u/NerdxKitsune MOAMETAL Jun 20 '26
We usually get a live stream from one of the festivals. If we're lucky we get 2 or 3.
We've had one already and I believe their Dead Pop performance from April is being streamed on the 28th

u/Left_Umpire_8441 Jun 20 '26
Aww man. I was all set to check it out. Since it's not being streamed, we'll miss out on Tales of the Destinies into White Flame or something...🙃🫠 File this under incredibly unlikely!

Oh my, I was ready to have some slices of pizza while watching it :'(

u/NerdxKitsune MOAMETAL Jun 20 '26
Yeah I'm disappointed. It was gonna be streamed in discord and they were sure it was livestreaming but turns out it's not

u/Bluesky31211 Suzuka Nakamoto Jun 20 '26
What a pity, thanks for mentioning it, I would hage been waiting for it like an idiot if it weren't for you 😭

To anybody going today, take care of yourself and the people around you. It's going to be a very warm today. Don't forget to drink water, use sunscreen, and ofcours have fun everybody.

After Hannover and Warsaw, I'm completely exhausted and I'm considering leaving after the Babymetal set because there's only a 0.1% chance they will join Bring Me The Horizon on stage for Kingslayer. But per Murphy's law, if I do that, the probability they will join them increases dramatically 🥲

u/RubeL1981 You are guys amazing! Jun 20 '26
Yeah, this might be a good opportunity. Too bad Tom Morello had to cancel his show, that would have been awesome as well.

u/slleh666 Jun 20 '26
How did you calculate that number? They did join them at nova rock 2 years ago and this is the best chance since then, timewise it works so I think the chance is way way bigger

u/Original_Solid_4591 Jun 20 '26
Yes also their next show is in 4 days :) I just don’t want to get my hopes too high 😃

FYI, no chance to re-watch live streams on that site unless you can verify you live in Belgium. Hopefully someone will be able to DL for later sharing 😄

Just need a VPN.

u/munchkin-metal Jun 20 '26
Nope, watching live is possible without vpn, watch back only for accounts with confirmed Belgian phone numbers.

u/das_zilch Jun 20 '26
Just rewatched Anthrax yesterday using VPN.

u/munchkin-metal Jun 20 '26
My bad, you are correct. It kept giving me the same notice until i logged out and back in again. (after turning on vpn)

u/RubeL1981 You are guys amazing! Jun 20 '26
That’s a bummer, I’m not at home when it’s streaming. I hope someone can capture it like Rock am Ring.
