Rock am Ring Festival
By Amanda Scott
Over the weekend music-goers got more than they bargained for at the Rock am Ring Festival in Mendig, Germany, when 33 people, including production crew and concert attendees, were struck by lightning. It was actually two separate strikes that occurred within hours of each other causing injuries. No one suffered a direct lightning strike and all of the injured are now being observed at local hospitals.
The festival, which ran through Sunday June 7th, continued as planned with an expected 90,000 music lovers. Headliners of the concert included two popular American bands, Foo Fighters and Slipknot, The Prodigy, an English electronic music group hailing from Braintree, UK, and Germany’s native Die Toten Hosen, a punk band whose name literally means ‘the dead pants’. Interestingly, all members of Die Toten Hosen, a highly successful band, are self-taught musicians. They have been playing together for thirty plus years. Check out this song, Tage Wie Diese (German) or Days Like These, from their most recent 2012 album.
