In Flames are going to do a Scandinavian club tour next year!!!!!!!

And YES I'm gonna be there! Can't believe how lucky I am! After the show on Saturday I was dying to see them again and I almost depressed since they probably wouldn't play here again for another couple of years - when they decide to go for another tour in 2012!! xD Damn I'm happy!

In Flames - I salute you

Two days ago I spent the evening at Scandinavium in Gothenburg listening to Insense, Rise to Remain, Ghost, Trivium and IN FLAMES - and I've never EVER excperienced such an awesome evening in my entire life!! xD

In Flames preformed an incredible live act with fireworks, pyro, heavy solos and screaming in just the way I like it! I found it seriously impossible not to scream like a moron myself and I wouldn't be surprised if I knocked some people over as I jumped up and down with my fists raised in the air, screaming my head of haha! In case I did - sorry ;) But it's honastly impossble for me to remain saine when I'm at concerts! ;D

As Anders, the singer of IF, told us that they were going to record us from the stage to find out which city of the world tour that was the greatest metal city - we all went crazy. We just had to prove that Gothenburg is the capital of metal! xD Here's the video they recorded - it's insane and I can't believe I actually was there.

♥

The excitement is building up!

I'm just getting ready to head for Gothenburg, Scandinavium and IN FLAMES!

The evening is gonna be awesome and I'm looking forward to it as hell! In Flames have four other bands with them at the tour and even though these aren't my favorite bands, I'm really excited about seeing Trivium, Insense, Rise To Remain and Ghost live as well x)

Lets turn the volume up!

sleepy girl

Hi people, how's it going? I'm gonna head for the bead now and hopefully I'll be able to get some sleep... There's so much things going on right now it's insane - school's killing me! But at least I've been able to do some fun things today. I met up with the band and joined them for some music creation and it's so great to just get away from everything and pick up the guitar for a couple of hours ;) Those of you who play an instrument know what I mean - it's totally impossible to keep track of time x) Love it!

rule number one

Ok! Since I'm quite stupid, a lot of unexpected things are happening to me. Or if you'd like to express it another way: I act weird and clumsy x) But you know, that's what happens if you don't reflect over your actions before you actually preform them... which I usually don't x)

So from this day on, every time I learn something new by one of my mistakes - it can be anything; a small thing or something irrelevant - I'm going to share it with you, hoping you won't do the same mistake xD

Rule number one:

Don't run in high heels - It's simply not such a bright idea...

Kat Von D

Well, I guess you know of her...

I consider Kat one of the coolest women ever and I love both her work and her style! We all need a role model, someone to look up to - and for me, Kat is a woman who without any doubt deserves the title x) I can't believe how talented she is and her presence seem to make everyone one in the room stop what they're doing just to watch her. But well, I don't blame them - just look at her tattoos!! :D This woman is one of a kind...

more tattoos! ♥

Sweden's best screamo band has quite resently released this new video and since I really like this song, despite the fact that there are way too "nice" parts between the screaming, I thought I'd share it with you x)

Wanties x)

tattoos are awesome

  

Ghosts of the attic - Her Bright Skies

The new music video!

Usher - GET LOST! x)

I NEVER thought I'd say this, but I LIKE A SONG BY USHER! Well, I hate the original version...

IT'S HORRIBLE!!

...but when Her Bright Skies made a cover of it... it became... amazing! I don't understand how a band can turn a totally worthless song like this into something that's just...

PURE PERFECTION!!



HER BRIGHT SKIES
I love you!
♥

new music makes my heart stop

One of my favorite Swedish bands just released a new muci video along with a new song and I can only say that I LOVE IT!! This is by far one of their best songs - maybe even the best - and I LOVE the video! ♥

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPzw68W1C7s

Since I can't upload the video itself right now beacuse of tecnical problems, I'll paste the link to the video now and I'll try to put the video on the blog as soon as possible...

...enjoy the music...

I just love this song by Paramore! Hayley is such a cool girl and since she sings amazing and since the music is awesome I can't help but loving this band x)

feeling ego and had nothing else to do

Let me instoduce to you...

BLACK VEIL BRIDES

...one of the best bands in the world!

  

  



The Legacy

I just found a couple of CDs as I was looking through some old boxes this morning which made me really excited x) There is nothing written on them, so I had no idea what kind of music there was on them so I put one of them in the computer to find out. The first CD was with Disturbed and Linkin Park (I think my brother did that one) and well, I've been listening to it the entire day x) The second track was this song with Disturbed and I can't remember hearing it before which is totally weird since it's awesome!

fan girl

Today, I went to the movies to see "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows part 2" - once again x)

I've seen it one time before but I felt that I had to see it one more time. (I saw part one three times at the cinema haha!) But well, I really love the books and if you ask me, you can't say that a movie is awesome if you've seen it once. I have to see a film at least two times before I can say that I really like it - or love it ;) So this time I can tell you that I don't love this movie, but I like it. A lot.

LISTEN UP!

OK, I feel that it's time for me to upload some pictures from Within Temptation's concert in Gothenburg last week and to tell you about how AWESOME the show was! xD

Me and two friends of mine got to the concert hall about 1:30 pm and stood there in the rain, freezing and shivering, 'til about 6:00 pm when the doors finally opened! By then, we had allready caught a glimpse of Sharon and the other band members as they arrived to do their soundcheck and it was totally unreal to actually see them in real life!

 

Since we were among the ones who had waited longest, we got to stand on the first row and as WT entered the stage, all hours of waiting were forgotten... It was totally worth it! xD

I DIED!!

They preformed for a bit more than one and a half hours and even though the concert was very proffessional, the show felt extremely personal ;) Sharon "spoke" to us in Swedish, even though she really can't speak our language, but once in a while she screamed "Thank you so much!" in Swedish! She was really present on stage and made eye contact with as many as she could - including me! x) After about half of the concert, she told us that Within Temptation now have a special bond to Sweden since their new guitarist is Swedish and damn you should have heard the croud as she said that! xD She had to hand the mic over to him so that he could speak with us in Swedish haha! Sharon just stood beside him, just smiling with all her face, not understanding a word :D Afterwords she simply said "Yeah, what he said!" and laughed!

But enough said about what they spoke about on stage!
I know I won't be able to describe how awesome this show was and how much I love this band, but I'll have to try: I begin by saying that I cried.  I cried. To the ones of you who know me, that means a lot - I NEVER cry! But Within Temptation made me cry and I couldn't stop my tears from falling... I've never experienced that emotion before... I don't even know if I was happy or sad or touched by the lyrics or just going insane. But I cried, oh damn I cried.

And I screamed - well I tried to sing haha - but I guess it sounded more like screaming x) It was the best concert I've ever been to and I find it very hard to believe that anything will be able to beat it.

When the show was over, and I had come to my senses again, we left the concert hall not knowing what to say. I think I didn't know anything worth saying... I still don't actually. No words can describe the evening properly. NO WORDS. But I guess you can say that it was damn f*cking awesome and get pretty close to the truth! xD

Later, as we went outside, we saw a group of people standing by the tour busses and trailers and we thought "why not join them?" x) Well, I alone made that decission for all the three of us, but there was NO WAY I was going to leave without Within Temptation's autographs if I had the opportunity of getting them! So that's why we stood in the freezing rain for about two hours, waiting. But then - finally - they came! And I was able to speak to all of them, tell them how awesome the show had been and how much I had been looking forward to the concert and how much I love their music! They signed my ticket (since I had nothing else for them to sign - black pen on black fabric doesn't work that well) and I got to say Happy B-day to the bass player since it was his birthday the same day. Then we spoke about the show and he claimed that the stage was a bit to small but I assured him that it didn't really matter since they'd be awesome no matter how small or big the stage is x) Then we got to take pictures with them! OMG!

♥

Well, I suppose I better start summing this up ;) I guess I'll end this not so very short post by writing down a part of the conversation I had with the non-Swedish guitar player, Ruud:

Me: Thank you so much! The show was absolutley amazing! xD
R: No problem! Glad you liked it! :D
Me: Of course I liked it haha! You were awesome! ;D
R: Well thank you, you weren't that bad either ;P
All of us: Hahahahahahahahahahaha!

my day

You can't believe how tired I am right now... I've been driving about 200 kilometres today (I have no idea how many miles that is, but believe me - it's far!) and now I'm totally exhausted! As you know, I'm practicing for my driver's licence and today was the first time I drove in complete darkness... At this time at the year, it gets dark here in Sweden at about 4:00 pm so we have to get used to driving in darkness x) But well, I'm actually very pleased with myself - I didn't hit anyone and I was able to keep the car on the road!

Today I was wearing my fav. sunglasses from Ray Ban and a black, baggy top from JC, along with over-sized green army trousers x) You may say whatever you like about my style, but as I've said before:

If you don't like it, I couldn't care less.

I dress the way I like - take it or leave it

Peace out!

I have to admit that I'm totally crazy about band shirts!

This one is one of my newest and as I always do when it comes to band t-shirs: I love it x)

Can't believe that I don't need to go to school for a whole week! I love holidays!

I've been celebrating my freedom by playing the guitar for about two and a half hours - my fingers are litterally bleeding! x) Don't care though, I love playing the guitar and I take every opportunity to become better :D

I guess I better head for the gym soon since I havn't been there since last week on Friday... I don't really know why I keep going there 'cus I don't know if I like it or not x) But well, at least it feels really good when you're done.

happy Halloween!

Hope you all have been invited to lots of Halloween partys by now! I'm sitting here, trying to come up with some cool costums but it's not working that well x) I'm thinking about dressing out as a goth bride, that would be so cool! I have some black wedding stuff that would be awesome to wear! x)

PERFECT!

A merch t-shirt I bought when I was at the Within Temptation concert last week. Totally love it and I'm so happy they still had my size left! ♥

WITHIN TEMPTATION

In my heart!

THE UNFORGIVING TOUR 2011

GOTHENBURG, SWEDEN 26/10

More pictures and videos

will be up soon ...

finally!

Within Temptation, here I come!

 I still can't believe this is happening!

one day to go

I can't believe I'm finally going to see Within Temptation live!
It's insane - nothing but insane! xD It's gonna be EPIC!

This is an old live preformance by them,  but even though Within Temptation has evolved both in their music and their style since this preformance, this is one of the live preformances I love most! And the song is also one of my favorites - I'd die to see them preform it tomorrow! x) I love Sharon's voice in this song and I can't believe she's able to sing it so well live! She's incredible x)

One day to go...

this is what happens when I'm bored

Hi there!

Well, as you know by now, I'm going to se Within Temptation live on Wednesday and since I had nothing else to do I thought I'd write all song titles from their new album into a single text! ;D

Please call me silly - I deserve it, haha!

"We'll Murder Sinéad with a Shot In The Dark and get Lost In The Middle Of The Night as we go Faster and Faster and Faster. We'll wonder Where Is The Edge as we search for a Stairway To The Skies and we'll realise it's A Demon's Fate as we'll scream Why Not Me? into the night. But no matter how long they'll search, Sinéad are never to be found - her dead body is already lying in a koffin of Iron and her Empty Eyes are never to see the sunlight... Her shattered soul will forever cry I Don't Wanna! as she'll perish into the burning flames of Fire And Ice..."

I'm SO awesome! x)

Peace out!

within temptation

I'm sitting here trying to find a train or bus that'll work on Wednesday when we're going to see Within Temptation! It seems as though we'll be able to get home not until the morning after x) But I don't really care - I might even miss some school haha! xD

However, I'm so looking forward to this concert! I have been listening to Within Temptation since I was 13 or 14 and I've been in love with their music ever since I heard one of their most famous songs - Frozen. 

Within Temptation is a Symphonic Metal band that is led by the vocalist Sharon Den Adel - one of the coolest women I know. She's a mezzo soprano who has given her life to sing metal and rock and her voice is both powerful at the same time as it's fragile - the combination with the music is just amazing...

what I'm listening to right now

I would seriously die to se In This Moment live and I hate that I'm stuck here in Sweden while they're in the US. It sucks! D: But I'll never stop hoping I'll be able see them one day - it'd be a dream coming true.

  In This Moment is with no doubt one of the best metal/rock bands ever!! They're by far my favorite band!! ♥  Maria Brink sings and screams like no one I've ever heard and their songs are both emotional, beautiful and heavy!

THIS. IS. MUSIC!

a piece of my heart

Since I wrote about Her Bright Skies and the night I saw them live I thought I'd post a video by them! This is their song "Sing it" and the band recorded the video during one of their tours - I love both the song and the video! ;)

School and that stuff

Hi there my lovely blog, that no one reads - what's up? :D

I just got home from town after a day of boring school and it's so nice to be home, listening to music and just taking it easy for a while ;)

Anyhow, after school I did some shopping... This really means I go to stores and look at all the stuff I want to have (and laugh at all the ugly stuff that some stupid poeple actually buy) and end up leaving the store without buying anything at all ;) Well, I do buy some stuff, but since I like the kind of clothes most people find strange, I have a hard time finding stuff that I really like x) And since I don't understand fashion at all I simply wear what I consider nice and well, I don't give a damn what other people might say about it x) That's me, haha!

I bought this ring today and I think it's really cool. Love it and I'm very pleased x) I really love rings but since I prefer metal and rock jewelry I don't find that many that matches my style, but this one's just perfect.

Peace out!

Off to bed!

It's getting late and since I have a driving lesson tomorrow morning I'm trying to convince myself that I need to get some sleep ;) Doesn't work that well, but I guess I have to go now. I'll dream about my guitar and the fact that I'll be able to turn the amplifyer on and start playing as soon as I get home tomorrow x) Sweet dreams indeed.

As usual

Trying to do some homework. Wanna guess how it goes?

I've hardly done anything so far, even though I'm fully aware of the Frensh test that's going to attack me tomorrow... wish me luck! x)

Watch out! Upcoming concert!

I guess you can say I'm addicted to concerts... I haven't been to that many at all but I still love the atmosphere, the people and the music - of course. That's why I'm going to see both Within Temptation and In Flames this fall! x)

In Flames is a Swedish metal band that are going to preform here is Sweden, Gothenburg, the 19th of November this year! And I'M going to be there! xD

They are three other bands that are following In Flames as they're touring with their new album "Sounds of a Playground Fading" and I'm dying to see (almost) all of them. Ghost, Rise To Remain, Insense and Trivium are the bands that will join them, and well - this can only turn out epic!

Here's a quite new video by In Flames! DELIVER US!

Another band you should know of

This is an official music video by one of my favorite bands preforming their absolute best song: Black Veil Brides - Knives and Pens. I love the way they've mixed deep emotions and metal x)

Let's scream, shall we?

A night to remember - Dead By April

Last Saturday was a night I will remember for the rest of my life - that was the evening I saw Dead By April live for the first time.

The evening bagan with preformances by Marissa Burns Trey and... Her Bright Skies! x)

 Soundsheck with Her Bright Skies! Totally awesome to watch, the guys are insane x)

 Then they finally bagan to play and OH MY GOD! xD

 I'll never forget the way "Jaybee" (the singer) acts on stage! He's totally crazy! :D Their preformance was awesome! And later, as I saw Jaybee standing outside the club, I just couldn't stop myself from shouting "DAMN you're awesome!!" Can't believe I actually did that x) But he seemed to enjoy my moment of madness, gave me a smile, raised the bottle he was holding and shouted "yo thanks!"
That was cool x)

-----

And then... DEAD BY APRIL!! xD I worship them!

They're seiously awesome live, despite the fact that they don't jump around that much, let's put the blame on the small sage x) But Jimmie Strimell, one of the two singers, sings and screams just as good live as he does in the studio, so everything was perfect anyhow! He's with no doubts the person I look up to most from Dead By April x) He rules. This is him by the way! I love his style and tattoos x)

I think it was his screaming that gave me a smaller hearing damage for a while and a high tone ringing in my head for about five days x) But I'm ok now and it was totally worth it, haha! ;) 

 Here he's again, posing for the cameras, along with the other singer, Zandro.

The guitarist is called Pontus and he used to sing in the band before, together with Jimmie, but now days he only joins the band on sertain occasions and only as a guitarist :)

An unforgettable night!

I find Dead By April a very special band. They play metal but are influenced by both pop and techno and they're doing their own thing all the way! And since Jimmie screams increadibly good I can only say that if you have the time, GO LISTEN TO THEM! You won't be dissapointed x)

Peace out!

Don't you agree?

If you'd ask me, I'd say that there are WAY to few women singing metal and hardcore - That's why I want to put this awesome video on my blog x)

The band behind this somg is called In This Moment - an American screamo/metal band fronted by a tattooed, übercool woman named Maria Brink. She's nothing but awesome and I assure you; when it comes to screaming there are a lot of male singers that could learn a great deal by watching her. She's supernatural - trust me x)

Prepare to be dazzled ;)

Yes, it's true x)

Am I going to see the Dutch rock/metal band Within Temptation next week as they tour with their newest album The Unforgiving??

- YES I AM!  xD

And I couldn't possibly be more happy about it - a week from now I will finally be standing on the first row singing, or rather, screaming along to their songs!

I've been listening to Within Temptation for about as long as I can remember, or well, five years or so, but its still a really big event in my life to finally getting to see them live. Can't wait! And for those of you who have never even heard of WT, I am going to share one of their best songs with you. Hope you'll like it as much as I do. x)

Here goes nothing!

Well, as you might have noticed, this is my first post ever but I guess you have to start off somewhere, right? And I thought I'd start off by sharing somthing awesome with you guys - I'm going to show you exactly what kind of music that totally blows me away and that I wouldn't survive without.

I give to you "Stronger" by the Swedish metal band Dead By April! Enjoooooy!

xD
