Just listened to the new Celtic Frost album... not bad.

The new Sodom album kicks some serious butt!

 

I saw a System of a Down video on a pop music TV show today. Does that mean that they are now too "commercial" and "mainstream", so some of you won't like them any more? And just what is "a Down" anyway? I'm sure that name makes no sense.

 

/me pokes Caveboy with a 20-foot pole

System of a Down always was commercial crap. I never liked them. And you're right, Harby, the name makes no sense whatsoever - just like them.

 

I like their first album, that one is golden, definitely not mainstream: PLUCK

 

System of a Down did sell out... their new stuff sounds nothing like their old stuff, which might have been able to pass as alright. I heard their new stuff and the only reason I could tell it was them was because at one point his voice sounded like it used to.

 

I just founfd out that Dima Bilan got signed up byy BMG... I hoe this means there's gonna be an album in English from him - as fun as listenin g to Russian pop is, I would LOVE toactually understand waht he is signing about.

And I also hope whoever writes the lyrics has a better grasp of the English language as the ones whop did Never let you go and Girlfriend.

 

I like some songs where they mess up the English language:

Sodom - "Masterbate to kill yourself"

Destruction - "Blood the oil, our greasy sky" (or something along those lines)

Stratovarius "I am a dust in the wind"

or strange pronounciations:

Korpiklaani - "wild-der-ness" (wilderness)
Cadaveria - "fu-near-ee-al" (funeral)
all florida death metal bands "toi-mmmmm" (time)
most bands from South Ireland - replace any "th" words with just a "t" so "thrash" becomes "trash", "thursday" becomes "torsday"

The worst are all those rap bands, and English is their first language!

 

SoaD is, was, and always will be crap!

Their crummy new song 'Lonely Day' has a grand total of one sentence for lyrics, and just like my other "most hated" band, The Foo Fighters, they repeat the same stupid lines over, and over. Count how many times the FF scream, "the best!"...and while you're at it, count how many times SoaD whines, "Such a lonely day...".

It's all about *quality*, not quantity.

The Foo Fighters were good with their old album... I liked 'Learning to Fly' by them. But their new stuff is crap. Especially since it is always on the radio. Damn "No Way Back From Hell"... I hate that song.

 

I don't think SOAD were a metal band anyway. Some idiots call them ethnic rock

To me they are just a standard rock band, who cannot get through an interview without mentioning they are Armenian (even though they are American).

Still, some idiots have said there was a link between SOAD and 11 September because we all know that all terrorists are Middle-Eastern

 

I just listened to the Tiananmen Square version of Faith by The Cure (in all its bootlegged glory...). Very oomphy.
'This is for everyone that died today in China.'

 

The new Celtic Frost album is excellent. I was scared it would be another half-arsed comeback album from a bunch of ancient rockers, but they proved me wrong

 

Less than 24 hours till I get to see Lordi, wheee!
'
i have never even heard of wither one of the warmup acts, but I figure they can't be too bad.... I hope.

 

Oh, lordy, you're going to see Lordi?

Saw them when they had this HUGE gig right here in Helsinki, when we were celebrating our first Eurovision song contest victory.

I'm not a fan or anything, but they sounded great in front of an audience of at least 60 000 people.

 

I envy you, Iku-Turso.... I wanted to be there!

adn you're a bit low there. there was more thank 80 000 people there

and yes, I am going to see Lordi at rovaniemi

 

Whee! So you're finnish, or at least in Finland currently! Congrats!

And some estimated that there were something like 100 000 people, but I thought that estimating it at least to 60 000 would be on the safe side.

By the way, if you're from Lapin lääni, I salute and thank you for voting Lordi into the contest in the first place!

 

Finnish, born and bred. and not that far North - in the biggesst small town in the country

and to make this more OT, I wish the next ESC would be in Rovaniemi and that Dima Bilan would participate again. cause, you know, I would SO stalk him

 

Tsch!

 

Cooome opn, don't teöö me htat you wouldnät if you were appropriately oriented! THat boy is PRETTY!

 

Further to what I said last week about having bought my first CD in 3 years, I have now bought 7 in the last week. For anyone who is interested, they have been:

1) John Lee Hooker - "Blues Legend"
2) Alanis Morissette - "Now is the Time"
3) KT Tunstall - "Eye to the Telescope"
4) Alanis Morissette - "Alanis"
5) Hayley Westenra - "My Gift to You"
6) Coldplay - "Parachutes"
7) Heather Nova - "Siren"

Lots of new food for iTunes.
