Tobias Sammet from Edguy live at the Gods Of Metal 2009

If you read the review from Edguy live in Paris in January 2009, you’ll know that I was disappointed of the performance of the band.

But I know that Eduy is a band worth seeing live, so I hoped that I could catch them on a summer festival and see a better show.

Well, that’s exactly what happened!

Edguy was playing at 3:45pm at the Gods Of Metal, quite early, but they did a one of the best concerts of the day.

All musicians were particularly in good shape today, and spent the whole show headbanging and running.

Tobias Sammet proved again on that day that he’s a very good frontman and know how to tease the audience. Of course he did a few jokes, and his voice was particularly good on that day.

At this edition of the Gods Of Metal both stages were side by side… And Tobias Sammet dared to go and sing for a couple of minutes on the other stage, during Lita Ford’s soundcheck.

Edguy had a backdrop with a castle, just like in the indoors shows.

It was the first band to customize the stage.

Edguy also chose a nice setlist so they could please everyone even if they were playing only one hour.

We had the classics Vain Glory Opera and Babylon, which hadn’t
been played for a while, as well as some favourites live Superheroes and Lavatory Love Machine.

They also played 3 songs from their latest album, Tinnitus Sanctus: Dead Or Rock, Speedhoven and Ministry Of Saints.

I enjoyed a lot all the bands playing at the Gods Of Metal 2009 (except Queensrÿche and Epica) but to me Edguy was one of the best concerts of the day.

Time to buy a drink and run to the Cruefest Stege to see Lita Ford’s comeback, performing with Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal from Guns’n’Roses.
