    One of the best concert! I've always admired the rock singers of 70-80th years who are still full of strength, energy and adrenaline and who able to share it with their fans.
    I get the most emotions. Rock is never too much!!! Love Accept!!!

  • O2 Forum Kentish Town in London, UK on Thu, 27 Nov 2014

    My first visit to The Forum in North West London and I travelled from the North west of England (Manchester). This was the only UK show on this tour and judging by the variation of accents people had travelled from all over the country to get their Teutonic Metal fix. The venue is great and pretty much sold out. Voodoo Six do a good job of warming up the crowd even if the sound wasn't perfect.

    The sound is crystal clear as Accept kick off with Stampede. No back drop or frills just a wall of Metal sound is needed. Wolf and Peter are superb performers and command the stage. This the first time I've seen Mark Tornillo and his voice is excellent. A better singer than Udo, even if Udo had a lot of charm and power! I saw Udo twice in the 80's with Accept and he was brilliant but Mark has a clearer and fuller voice live.
    This set is excellent- new numbers 200 years and last of a dying breed are superb. Stalingrad is powerful and then to my delight 2 of my fave songs Losers and Winners and Ahead of the Pack come early in the set. Classics and Mark does a fantastic job with the udo songs- he gets the feeling down well and if anything improved these udo era songs

    Starlight is agreat surprise going way back to the Breaker album. Metal heart is superb and the crowd singalong is great for melody etc. Restless and Wild Fast as a Shark provide the Power Metal drive (Fast as a Shark must have influenced all early thrash bands).

    The set finishes with princess of the Dawn and Balls to the Wall. A perfect Metal night form a great band. Wolf never stops smiling and working the crowd - what a great performer along with peter and Mark is won of the finest Metal voices around.

    Only would have loved Neon Nights - maybe next time- I will definitely be there!

    Es kam mir vor wie eine totale Überbuchung des Konzerts am 4.10.14 im Docks in HH! Für ein Party ist es vielleicht ok, die Leute bis in den Vorraum stehen zu lassen, aber bei einem Konzert dieser Band ist das nicht mehr schön wenn man zu klatsche kaum noch die Hände in die Luft gehoben bekommt. Eine Sardine in der Dose hatte mehr Platz.
    Die Kritik ist nicht an der Band zu üben, die hat einen super Job gemacht, sondern rein am Veranstalter. Sowas wirkt dann eher wie Geldschneiderei!

    Was very pleased to hear such amazing sound quality at Accepts performance at the Vamp'd..... Electric Messiah was a good choice for an opening act, they proved without a doubt they were worthy of the honor for opening for these legends.

    Accept played Count’s Vamp’d on Saturday, September 13, 2014.

    Accept’s journey through the world of hard rock and heavy metal has been an interesting one, to say the least. The band came of age in the mid 1980s with classic albums like Restless and Wild, Balls to the Wall, and Metal Heart, all of which contained their share of anthems. These German metal icons tore it up back in their heyday, and still command an international following to this day.

    Several years back, the group saw the departure of classic vocalist Udo Dirkschneider, filling the void with American vocalist Mark Tornillo, formerly of TT Quick. In a few short years, Accept proved that they were only getting started when it came to rocking the world, putting out a trio of LPs that were there best in well over a decade – Blood of the Nations, Stalingrad, and their latest studio album, Blind Rage. In a few short years, the Tornillo-fronted version of Accept completely changed things and revitalized the band; Tornillo brings his own thing to the table, but can also tackle songs originally sung by Udo Dirkschneider with ease and confidence alike.

    Accept launched a tour for the Blind Rage album in September of 2014, announcing that there would be a mere four American dates to kick off said tour, before it reached other international outlets, where the band tends to be revered on a larger scale (it is not uncommon for heavy metal bands to be more popular in Europe than in North America). Still, when I found out that one of those American dates was going to be in my hometown of Las Vegas, you cannot imagine my excitement.

    Count’s Vamp’d is owned by Danny “The Count” Koker, famed for his role on the American television series Pawn Stars and Counting Cars, both of which air on the History Channel. The venue has become known to Las Vegas rockers as the ultimate stop for local, national, and international talent alike. The fact that they were able to book a band like Accept for one of only four American shows should say something.

    The first thing I noticed when I got to Vamp’d for this show was the crowds. The venue was packed tighter than I believe I have ever seen it – insert random “Balls to the Wall” joke here. The crowds alone should show how much of a following the band still has. Hell, the band even had no merchandise for sale because they sold out of it all in California the previous night! Anyone who says heavy metal is dead clearly is not familiar with the legacy Accept has built, and continues to build upon.

    Local favorites Electric Messiah started off the show, and definitely did a great job getting the crowd geared up. I have seen these guys at Vamp'd countless times, and they have continued to win me over, over the course of the past year or so. It is great to see these hometown heroes doing their part to keep rock and roll alive in the City of Sin.

    As soon as the quintet took the stage, one thing immediately become apparent – this was going to be a HARD and HEAVY show – and I spelled those words in all caps for a reason! The pounding of the drums, the blistering guitar solos, and Tornillo’s vocals all raged through the speakers with an unrivaled ferocity I have never seen any other band that played Vamp’d even come close to. My eardrums were pounding the whole time. Even now, nearly a whole day later, I still have a ringing in my ears that is not going away. This was one of the hardest, heaviest, and loudest shows I have ever seen. I do not care how loud you think your band is, you have a long way to go if you want to come anywhere near Accept.

    When it comes to entertaining a crowd of heavy metal maniacs, there are so many factors that have to be taken into consideration. Can the band still deliver when it comes to a live performance? What should the setlist be comprised of? Fans, crew, and the band are often contemplating these questions, and it is so rare that everything in a show comes together perfectly. This performance from Accept was the rare PERFECT concert. Wolf Hoffmann’s solos, Mark Tornillo’s vocals, every slap of the bass from Peter Baltes, to say that this bad delivers when it comes to live concerts is the understatement of the century. Some bands are up there on stage due to contractual obligations and just to earn a living. Not Accept. These guys have an unrivaled camaraderie and stage presence, and you can tell they love getting up there on stage and doing what they do. As an author/critic, I get to see probably at least 50 rock and roll shows a year out here in Sin City. Accept’s live performance last night is not only the best rock/metal concert I have seen so far in 2014, it is one of the best rock/metal shows I have ever seen, PERIOD.

    The setlist is something else that deserves praise. Balancing a setlist between new album cuts and classic hits is not an easy task. But Accept has found that balance. With a setlist that straddles the balance between the three Tornillo albums and the classic material originally sung by Udo Dirkschneider, there is definitely something for all of the fans here. This Accept fan immediately fell in love with the Blind Rage album when it came out; getting to hear said songs live and in person from the band was an unforgettable experience. Tracks like Teutonic Terror and Stalingrad have become instant classics, but the band definitely did not skimp on the classics either, with gems like Balls to the Wall, Metal Heart, London Leatherboys, and Fast as a Shark. The crowd’s reactions are solid proof that the band is still going strong when it comes to delivering on this front.

    Seriously, as a long time headbanger, I cannot praise Accept’s Vamp’d show enough. Here is a band that never gave into modern rock trends, staying true to doing things their own way, and always maintaining a strong fanbase as a result. Blind Rage is arguably the band’s strongest studio album in years, and on top of that, the group is still doing what they do best, live and in person. No other band plays this hard and heavy in person, with an unrivaled prowess that other groups cannot even come close too. If you see Accept live and in person on this tour, you will be seeing one of the greatest heavy metal shows of your life. Perfect setlist, perfect performances, this is hard rock and heavy metal at its absolute finest. Do not pass up a chance to see these hard rock legends doing what they do best!
