Cradle Of Filth @ Garage (Saarbrücken, Germany)

I have been a Cradle of Filth fan for a long time now—25 years or so. However, I had never seen them live. I thought I was going to see them a time or two in 2020, but of course that didn’t happen.

I didn’t think I was going to Europe this summer, but a trip to Saarbrücken, Germany fell into my lap on short notice. Who should be playing while I was there? None other…

Jean-Philippe Lagacé of Get the Shot

Get the Shot started the night off. Hardcore isn’t really my thing, and they seemed like a strange band to tour with Cradle of Filth, but somehow they were on the same bill.

I once had the chance to see Get the Shot, at 2019 Brutal Assault, but they were playing at the same time as Destruction so that didn’t happen.

Olivier Roy

Even though Get the Shot isn’t my cup of tea musically, they did put on an energized performance to say the least.

I don’t think I have ever seen more energy come out of a frontman before. Jean-Philippe Lagacé showed the crowd what an extreme workout for 30 minutes or so really looks like.

Get the Shot @ Garage

Between bands, I got some air. Garage is a decent venue in mild weather, but it was a hot and humid day, and there were no fans or AC in the place.

Cradle of Filth was well worth the wait.
