Be cruel to your school! Old school booking is proud to present our new theme nights named BACK TO SCHOOL. This concept is built around the idea of having old and legendary bands playing songs and set-lists from the early stages of their career. Many bands are pressed by their record companies and new releases to play recent material when they tour. BACK TO SCHOOL is the free haven for the bands to play ONLY old classics.
Fenriz from Darkthrone once said: “You don’t know if a record is good until it’s gone at least 15 years”. We believe in that philosophy too. So while we wait for new records to become good (like good wine), we listen to early material from bands. This means if we invited Metallica, they would only be allowed to play songs from “Kill ‘Em All” and “Ride The Lightning”. You get our point. We take the music from the roots and put it on stage.
If you go to gigs with bands which have been around for a while, it’s quite common to observe that it’s the old songs that get the most enthusiastic reception from the audience. So with this concept we give the bands an opportunity to play only killers and no fillers, and the audience to experience the atmosphere of old times into the bargain. It’s a win/win situation, alright!
So, old metal fans: You are invited to re-live the old times. And young bangers: It’s never too late to experience the old school. Thanx to us! Motorbreath! That’s how we live our lives. You are all very welcome to Hell! All right!
Back to School!
All right!
