I was in a band called Götterdammerung for a while. One of the longest-running weirdo bands in my town (started in 1982); I think I was probably their 18th guitarist, and I won't be the last. The leader is a huge Wagner freak, naturally. The pics I have posted of the band with the candelabra on top of the pile of Moogs and Mellotron was that band. I have a friend who is going to Germany to see The Ring, and had to book it several years out. Apparently there is quite the inferno of real fire that goes on during the performance!
I'm not an opera fan at all (that style of singing is very abrasive to me), but I can see the appeal. So epic!
