Man, I would have loved to have been at Wacken back in 2011 to see Rolf and his rabid gang of pirates go out with a cannonball explosion-like bang. Watching it so far and I'm loving it. Good setlist so far, starting brilliantly with the opening to "Chamber of Lies," then blasting away with "Port Royal." Sent chills down my spine when Rolf starting singing the chorus.
Never saw it until just now. I feel ashamed that I haven't because Running Wild is one of my favorite bands and have been for a few years. Glad I'm watching it now.
WE ARE PRISONERS OF OUR TIME BUT WE ARE STILL ALIVE FIGHT FOR FREEDOM FIGHT FOR YOUR LIVES WE ARE RUNNING WILD!

I'm afraid to say that Running Wild retired from making good music circa 2000.

Running Wild has put out a lot of great albums throughout the 1980s and 1990s, but I've always felt the post-Victory releases have been pretty lackluster. The band's last two albums didn't do anything for me.

Hey, Painkiller's back!
Running Wild lost their edge over the years, but have never released a bad album. I still need to get the last one.

I have it. Trust me, it's better than Shadowmaker. Not that much better, but it's definitely shades more listenable.
