Dear TT, I have now been following this weird and sad chain of events unravelling in Finnish websites in the past few days, and I really would wish you could enlighten us a bit on a few things. I understand that you take unwarranted criticism hard, but now this news of you sueing some fans for sayi...

Today, a band drunken the tour? close to impossibility, isn't it? Touring any months and ever be drunken? The body is getting sick and the performance will be worster from time to time. Or am I the only one with this meaning? Well, hate to break this to you but bands do drink today on tour...a lot....

I live next door to the coffee factory in Helsinki and the days they roast the smell around my neighbourhood is heavenly...I quit coffee over a year ago but still I yearn for it...

Yeah, that's Agents Of Misfortune his second band ever, before he joined Trauma. I just think the year is just wrong...he would have been 12 years old at that time and he doesn't look like it...might be more like '79-'81 I guess...nice psychedelic jamming tho...

bullshit, it is all in your mind, the stage and touring can be eassily beared without consuming any kind of drugs (except aspirins). You know, everything comes because of the "let's dare" spirit, i have lots of friends that are in this music bussines and they only drink beers to party, not feel bet...

But mine was huge. Is In Flames black metal? Is KORN black metal? Even you, the finns, could get that one. But then again my sarcasmometer gets withered reading messageboards, especially this one. I would not have been a bit surprised if someone would have said that seriously. Ah well...nuff of thi...

George Carlin...

I do actually read this forum while asleep. (I wonder why?) And at least with us finns you should never try hard stuff like "sarcasm" or "irony", we'll never get it anyways...

Luckily, Black Metal is still alive with good bands like In Flames, Dimmu Borgir, Korn and Soilwork! OH MY MUTTERFUCKING GOD!!!!! Korn???? BLACK METAL??????? Soilwork???????BLACK METAL????????????????? Or IF for that matter... Dunno if anyone else gets this but I find this post so utterly hilarious...

Most creative atm are many of those progressive/genre mixing black/death metallic bands imo, like Opeth, Finntroll, Ensiferum and so on

Thanks man...

But then again I think that the bands that have in recent times taken the metal thing and truly taken it beyond what has been done come mostly outside the strict power metal genre...

The first to pop in mind would be Arcturus, Ulver, Opeth, Vintersorg, The Dillinger Escape Plan...

Okokokokokokokokokok... :D I shut up... I just personally still remember when and where my power metal fandom started and ended altogether... I mean, I had liked Helloween a lot since mid 80's, but: Stratovarius: Episode..."Oh my friggin' god!!! These songs make me want to bang my head against the w...

I dont get your point :err: We dont have that many clones i think.. Metalium, Chinchilla, Freedom Call, Custard, The Armada, Avalon, Black Abyss, Black Destiny, Brainstorm, Edge Of Thorns, Human Fortress, Iron Saviour, Majesty, Mob Rules, Mystic Prophecy, Paragon, Rough Silk, Sacred Steel, Scanner,...

Sorry if I sound confrontational but... In my humble opinion the thing about bands like Maiden, Sabbath, you know the legends was that they created something new, a sound of their own which still today can be heard. When you hear Sabbath you recognize it immediately. When you hear Maiden you recogni...

Ahem...most of the metal hangouts in Helsinki pretty much suck, but you simply have to visit Corner Bar and Tavastia...I was there last night and I'm actually drunk at work now so...welcome to hell...sinki.

Well, I hunt, so...
I own a couple of rifles, a couple of shotguns and three handguns. But I am VERY much for strict gun control laws...stupid, irresponsible and criminal should not get their hands on any...
