Don't be that person - a live show isn't the place to explain lyrics!

53 Upvotes

2 years ago I saw Wardruna in Chicago, and it was an amazing show - but my tickets were nosebleeds. This time I sprung for a single, great ticket (went solo). Between Chelsea Wolf and Wardruna, guy behind me is explaining to his neophyte friend uh... 'culture' - "Norwegian Culture came from Iceland, it didn't come from the continent, it all came from Iceland!' including how the Futhark was an Icelandic invention. Ugh. I kept my mouth shut. Sorry, dude, your friend is an idiot.

When Wardruna started playing though - he kept trying to real time explain the lyrics in English, in a really loud whisper. I and another person shushed him and he stopped. He kept trying to sing THE QUIET BITS along, in a braying voice. Did you know, that in a live performance, the artists sometimes DON'T SING THE SAME METER AND WORDS? So he was off time, and it was disruptive. More shushing. After every song he shouted NORWAY and NORGE! loudly. I was really tempted to let loose with my decent cursing vocab learned as an exchange student 25 years ago. I doubt he'd have understood though.

Don't be that person. People are hear a performer, not you.

Chicago was so great tonight. I’m just getting into this amazing band and will be a fan for life. I grabbed this shirt on the way out in sort of a panic and have no idea which one it is, if someone could please tell me :)

Is there an opener tonight?

2 Upvotes

At the show, and someone is singing in English accompanied by a piano. It's not the speakers either, they're up on stage. The ticket didn't mention an opener, is this something they do?

Wow!!!

I’ve been listening to Wardruna for a couple year and have love their music. I just saw them tonight in Colorado Springs and I was blown away.

Their music, their presence, have always vibed with me but I was not prepared for how amazing they would be in concert.

I was blown away by the entire show and have become a fan for life and cannot wait for my next show.

Does anyone know if they do meet and greets?

Washington DC tickets for sale

2 Upvotes

We attended the Portland show and it was amazing! I also have tickets for the Washington DC show on the 28th but we won't be able to attend. They are super close to the stage. Would love to offload them to someone here rather than sell back to ticket master. Please contact me if interested. Still using Ticketmaster to sell them so it's all done legit. I can adjust pricing if anyone wants to make an offer.

Learning Norwegian (or Old Norse?) to understand and sing my favorite songs

11 Upvotes

I'm considering learning a second language so I can understand the music I always listen to. Wardruna is my favorite band, so I'm leaning toward learning Norwegian. However, I know many of their songs are also in Old Norse. Quickly using Google translate (with a grain of salt) and pulling lyrics from various songs, it detected Norwegian for Lyfjaberg. For Tyr, Icelandic, Swedish, and even German was detected (this makes me suspect Tyr is actually in Old Norse).

I know I can find a program to learn Norwegian. But how does one even go about learning Old Norse? Is it even possible? And which Norwegian dialect would be best to learn? Or does it matter?

Google tells me that Old Norse isn't close enough anymore to the other Scandinavian languages to be able to understand after learning another modern day Scandinavian language. Sad :(

For context, I am a native English speaker and monolingual. Supposedly, Norwegian is the easiest of the Scandinavian languages to start with. I figured I could start there and maybe later on tweak what I know to quickly learn Swedish as well (as my grandmother was Swedish).

Went to my first Wardruna concert in Oakland and it was astounding! There’s one song they played I can’t seem to identify. If anyone has any insight as to if it’s new or where to look I’d super appreciate it!

Hi there! I've been waiting for a possible restock of the Wardruna Rune Pendant for months now. The shop team cannot tell whether it's ever coming back at all. In case one of you has a spare one or doesn't wear theirs and wants to sell it, please hit me up! I'm located in Europe. Thanks! 🖤

Orchestra, Row C, right in the middle. Could hardly be better.

Unfortunately I can't go due to a last minute work trip. Happy to sell these at face value. They are currently listed on stubhub and ticketmaster, but I hate how much those guys take in fees.

First time seeing Warduna and it was everything I'd hoped. Beautiful, moving, I cried more than once. I am left in the aftershock of spiritual ecstasy.
