A long time ago. Back when I was a kid, I wasn't even a teenager at this point, I went to the record store and got my first album that I bought with my own hard earned allowance money. That album was actually about my age, but that didn't matter MTV (back when they played music video) had me just sitting waiting for a video by this group to come on. So instead of waiting, I thought I better pick one of their albums up. The album was "Licensed To Ill" and the group were Beastie Boys.…

Sat 20 Feb – Rammstein, Combichrist

Short review of the Combichrist/Rammstein show at Globen, Stockholm, Sweden (February 20 2009)

Combichrist did a pretty good job opening, I loved their live set up of two drummers/drumkits to the left and right and a keyboard player in the middle with vocalist Andy LaPlegua going from side to side trying to get some attention from a pretty lame crowd. Seems like not a whole lot of Swedes are familiar with Combichrist (at least not where I was standing, I was the only one singing along and banging my head to the…

My music year of 2008 and some short thoughts on the releases. Don't agree? I respect that, just don't start bitching about it, make your own list.

Fight - K5: The War Of Words Demos / Into The Pit
Two new old releases from Rob Halford's old band Fight saw the light of day this year. First a album with demos from "The War Of Words" demo sessions and then a boxset containing the bands two albums, the "Mutations" EP and a DVD with live footage. The boxset is a good release (especially since the…

OK, this is my music year of 2007 and some short thoughts. Don't agree? I respect that, just don't start bitching about it, make your own list.

Tim Armstrong - A Poets Life
Ska punk at it's best, say what you want about him, but Tim Armstrong can write songs.

Apulanta - Eikä Vielä Ole Edes Ilta
Another solid Apulanta album. I still don't understand the lyrics, but who cares, the music is good.

Tila Tequila - Various Songs/Singles
What a total joke, go back posing for nude pictures it's the only talent you have babe.

Chimaira - Resurrection
I…

Sat 30 Jun – Metaltown
My thoughts about the bands I saw at "Metaltown" 2007:

Ill Nino: The sound was really bad in the beginning, but the band turned the show around, and it was a pretty killer show.

Hardcore Superstar: Did their thing, but the audience didn't care to much. Pretty good, but a shame that they had no contact with the people watching.

Raised Fist: Told the audience that they were tired, and after thier show so was I. Real good hardcore show.

Mustach: It was ok, then again I'm not much of a…

LA COKA NOSTRA

The white Wu-Tang Clan, the ultimate dream team of the sharpest white rappers in (and outside) the industry.
La Coka Nostra or LCN is coming to take the hip-hop back and remaining true to hip-hop's past legacy and insuring it reaches the future, intact and stronger than ever. With the talents of groups like House of Pain, Non Phixion, Lordz of Brooklyn, and many more you got a super group with a album dropping like a bomb in 2007, but you can already listen to some tracks over at the various LCN websites…

I found out today that COLD has hanged it up after almost 10 years since the first self titled album. Well, I was never a huge, huge fan of the band, “13 Ways To Bleed On Stage” was a masterpiece, I never really got into the albums after “13..” and the poor sales of the latest album “A different kind of pain” is (I believe) a reason for the quit, but it is sad to see the band ‘give up’, well singer Scooter Ward have already said that he and Sam McCandless will start a new…

I would like to say happy birthday to one of the best singers of all time: John "Johnny Rotten" Lydon that turns 50 today (Jan 31 2006).
He started his stardom in the only punk band that matters: the Sex Pistols - to later quit (or get fired, depends on who you talk to) and formed
PIL, something completely different from Sex Pistols, well except the awesome 'shitty' singing from mr. John Lydon and his solo album just just as original as
the Pistols was back in 1976. So happy birthday, John, you lazy sod and thanks for…

Merry christmas everybody !
