I too applaud Radiohead's courage to walk ahead of others and I would definitely rather pay €15-20 directly to my favorite bands than the same amount where a large percentage goes to record companies, licensing, marketing and what have you. In one way, illegal downloading could be considered a...

I've used Anomica as my on-line nick for 5 years or so. During that time I have, among other things, been a very poor gamer and a somewhat better (i hope) conversationalist. Anomica comes from the sociological term Anomie, which roughly means to feel cut off from society's norms and the stuff...

Great music and a great service to your community. Thanks a lot! Keep it up. I'll see if I can request a gig for my wife's 40th in Sweden next year, ok? :bigsmile:

Re: More tourdates to be announced on Halloween says IM.com Damn! I wish I had seen your post this morning, Voda. I needed 6 tickets and could only get 4. You read it right...I've got 4 tickets for Gothenburg!!! Wooohooo :D Oh, and Ticnet, www.ticnet.se, did have some annoying problems this...

Re: More tourdates to be announced on Halloween says IM.com I actually have a question about the presale tickets too. For the Gothenburg concert, you're allowed to buy 8 tickets/person. That's fine, since too many people buy as many as possible just to sell over the 'net for twice the cost...

Re: More tourdates to be announced on Halloween says IM.com I'll be at Ullevi (again :P) and I'm bringing wife, 2 teen-age kids + boyfriend of one, and hopefully a bunch of other people. Drinks along Avenyn all day, right? :bigsmile:

In all honesty, I wouldn't call some of the songs on the list "ballads" as such and so they're out of the voting for me. I went for Journeyman. It's acoustic, almost airy feel is just great. Out of the shadows is a brilliant power ballad but Journeyman is the truest ballad in my book. Hence my...

I think you have a point there, SMX. Maybe the recording industry, RIAA or whatever they're called, should set a mutual standard, say one record sold per 700 citizens or something like that? Just to make it comparable throughout the different countries. Do you have number for platinum as well...

About Tarantino: I agree with Onhell that Reservoir dogs is a pretty good film, but Pulp Fiction is among the 5 best movies I've ever seen. Especially when you see it for the 3d or 4th time, since there are many things that you simply miss the first time you see it. I love the movie, the humour...

I'm sorry for his family and for all his fans out there - me included - who eagerly awaits the conclusion of the series. I was aware he was severley ill, but I didn't think it was fatal.

Just to spite everybody :P I voted for Man on the edge. Seriously, if there is one song that's really great with Blaze behind the mic, it's this one. Maybe Futureal and Sign of the Cross too, but that's about it.

I think you're all incredibly interesting to read. A Swedish take on the events following 9-11 is that the terrorists already won! "How can he say that", you may ask (or not)? Consider the changes in America, with the Patriot Act, and the department of Homeland security. Consider what has...

Thanks for the tips, Forostar. I'll make sure to check those links out.

Hah! I'm a happy camper since I finally managed to find post-80s music that actually appeals to my metal tastes. I've tried to get into bands like Nightwish, Sonata Arctica, Kamelot etc but nothing gets me going. Then, someone told me of a band called Masterplan (anyone?) and they're really...

I agree, it's a great series. At the moment I'm reading her series "The Tawny Man" - it's still about the Farseers, but set about 15 years after the Assassin's series. It's a great work of fantasy fiction that I'd not hesitate to recommend to anyone that enjoys reading a good book with...

I agree with you, Onhell. But since I've read all the others in the series (to keep up with the kids at home) I suppose I'd better read the last one as well :innocent:

Well, Natalie, on behalf of Sweden I can only apologize :) It's strange, I've been living here for 40 years and nothing has ever happened to me or anyone I know and then you pop in for a holiday (?) or something and BANG! it happens. I'm really sorry for you. The only thing even remotely similar...

Age: 40 Music: yes, please ;) As of turning points...when Maiden released Dance of Death, it was a kind of a turning point for me, since I hadn't listened to any metal post 1985 up until then. I listened to a lot of "hard rock" and "heavy metal" when I was a teenager. I started with Run to the...

Right now, I'm totally hooked by Neverwinter Nights 2, a great game based on Dungeons & Dragons. Oblivion is also a really good game, with fantastic graphics. If you want to be scared sh*tless, turn off all lights at night, crank up that volume and start FEAR - the scariest 1st person shooter I...

Did you? I know I never did...
