Just wanted to comment really on little things that people do on last,fm.

(1) People who do any sort of 'How Varied Is My Taste?' - Why do people insist on doing this? What does it really acheive if it shows you listen to six or seven genres? The worst thing about it is that this makes people think they're somehow better then everyone else. Pretentious Indeed.

(2) Metal Ad - Admitedlly, i myself once had a 'Metal Ad' but now when i look at them they seem so pointless. I mean, what does having the band's you likes logo's just planted there, if you really want to see them, get your CD's out or google it.

(3) People Who Write Down What They Like - The whole point of last.fm is to show people what you like you morons!!! When you write. 'Bands i love' then give us a long list, does it not occur to you that if i drift my eyes left i can see the fecking bands you like!

(4) People Who Write 'This Is My Real Top 50' - Your real top 50? You mean to tell me some people tacticlly plan their top 50? It's supposed to be a representation of what you've been listening to, we can check 'last 7 days' or 'last 3 months' if we're really that interested in how your tastes have change

(5) People Who Write On A Page In Their Own Langauge - What is the point!? If you're from Indonesia, no one can fucking tell what you're saying apart from the 4 other users from Indonesia! You may have a valid point but we can't tell!

(6) Morons Who Attempt English - Even worse then the person who writes in his own langauge, is the tit who attempts it and looks like nothing but an incoherent ass. For example, the nonsensical fellow TORERO89 wrote this in my shoutbox.

'oh my God !And that do you want to say that it was glem-metal by WASP?ìîãó to take to your taking that did WASP simply get dressed so they thought it is steep but when were they asked by you what under motli Crue mow?hes answered and go you in ass it popsa and we khevi threw!!è text at whiners whining .An on helloween not drive it founders of style!è musicians there such that did not dream no Niki Siksu so to play!! '

Ahem, What?

(7) The Boring Fools Who Insist On Dredging Up Old Arguments - Is there anything more dull then when some boring cretin, usually new to last.fm, comes on to a page and makes a comment that people have been arguing about since last.fm's early days. Examples being

"Megadeth own Metallica

or

'Bon Scott is much better then Brian Johnson'

BORING. We've heard it all before.

(8) People Who Get Hyped About Tags and Pictures - Who cares? If you think Job For A Cowboy are Death Metal, what does it matter if other people think it's Deathcore!? All it shows is you're insecure about what genres you like, what you think will perceive you as. And the photo? Does it really affect you that much? Infact, i think there's even a group dedicated to it, sad stuff.

(9) Random Friend Requests - "Wow we have the same music taste!!! WE MUST GET ALONG! " Er, No. Most of my friends aren't heavy metal fans. I don't care if we have the same artists, i don't wanna converse with some sweaty sad act from some boil on the arse of the world.

(10) Radiohead Fans - For obvious reasons

RadioheadThe BeatlesKings of LeonThe KillersMetallicaMegadethIn FlamesLady GaGaKISSMotley CrueMotorheadThe Rolling StonesNirvanaAlice in ChainsSlipknotBlack SabbathGojiraThe DoorsMastodonAnthraxMichael JacksonMuseJob for a CowboyColdplayGreen DayVenomMayhemDarkthroneEmperorGuns N' RosesLinkin ParkParamorePink FloydPlaceboFoo FightersQueenU2System of a DownOasisDaft PunkProdigyPendulemMachine HeadSlayerExodusTestamentCradle of FilthDimmu BorgirThe CurePearl JamMadonnaEminemRun DMCP DiddySnoop Dogg50 Centkanye wesdtThe White StripesAC/DCBeyonce

Музыка сопровождает меня уже довольно долгий период времени. И не всегда это был тяжеляк...
И что характерно, раньше я с упоением слушал отечественную музыку и всяческие витееватые словесные эквилибры не доходили до моего незрелого разума и практически не воспринимались.

В иностранной музыке можно было немного абстрагироваться от текста и слушать музыку.
Например, не сразу доходят слова Оззи:

"There are no unlockable doors
There are no unwinnable wars
There are no unrightable wrongs
Or unsingable songs

There are no unbeatable odds
There are no believable gods
There are no unnameable names,
Shall I say it again, yeah

There are no impossible dreams
There are no invisible seams
Each night when day is through
I don't ask much
I just want you..."

И пока не врубаешься, о чем поет Осборн, слушаешь просто очень красивую песню. Когда же пытаешься вникнуть в смысл слов, понимаешь, Оззи - гений. В нескольких, казалось бы бессмысленных словах сказать так много... это надо уметь.

Постепенно набирая жизненный опыт и словарный запас иностранных языков, становится невыносимо слушать Rainbow, Sonata Arctica, UFO, Scorpions, WASP и других некогда обожаемых исполнителей. Слишком понятными становятся их песни, слишком много эмоций они вызывают, слишком близкими они оказываются...

Вот и уходишь постепенно в дебри все более и более тяжелой музыки, где правят хаос, разрушения, жестокость и темные силы. В плейлисте постепенно появляются Venom, Arch Enemy, Dimmu Borgir, Slayer...

"The gates slam in your face
Chill creeps down your spine
No one will let you in
Your guilty of the crimes
The judge and jury shout
Redemption denied - yeah!
You're going straight to hell

You hear them calling
Dark figures start the game
Then you start falling
They're calling out your name
No place in purgatory
You're heading for the flames - hell

You scream repentance
Dressed in sackcloth and ash
But they won't save you
You're sentenced for the lash
No time to make amends
Satan starts to laugh - yeah"
Venom - Straight To Hell

Ну разве не чудо?=)

Или вот еще:

"Surgery, with no anesthesia
Fell the knife pierce you intensely
Inferior, no use to mankind
Strapped down screaming out to die
Angel of death
Monarch to the kingdom of the dead
Infamous butcher,
Angel of death"
Slayer - Angel of Death

Вот так и живешь с громыханием в наушниках и воплями "Bleeding!" в голове.

Но иногда душа просит услышать кого-нибудь из старых знакомых и в колонках начинает медленно звучать акустическая гитара и голос Блеки Лоулесса затягивает

"There's a flame, flame in my heart..."

Или Клаус почти шепчет на ухо:

"Time, it needs time
To win back your love again..."

И вот ты опять не можешь уснуть, в голове с неимоверной скоростью пролетают тысячи мыслей, сотни образов, а на дворе скорее всего ночь, а ты скорее всего один в этот момент...
А на следующий день, называя себя идиотом, снова всключаешь Metallica - Wherever I May Roam, берешь в руки барабанные палочки и начинаешь выносить мозг своим соседям!!! Yeah! It's fuckin' great, baby!


P.S. А недавно вспомнил песню из детства - Игорь Тальков - Фатальная колесница:

"Глядя, как ты провожаешь разочарованьем,
День уходящий и хмуро встречаешь зарю,
Думаю, что не улучшу твое сотоянье,
Если нарушу молчанье и заговорю.

Катится, катится жизнь колесницей фатальной,
Мы - пассажиры на данном отрезке пути,
Кучер-судьба колесницею той управляет,
Кто не осгласен с маршрутом, тот может сойти..."

Только сейчас я ее понял... Задумался... Стало жутковато...

101 rules of NWOBHM (New Wave of British Heavy Metal)

1. The more obscure the better
2. Hearing Metallica's cover of "Am I Evil?" does not make you a NWOBHM fan
3. Without Diamond Head, there would be no Metallica
4. Without NWOBHM, there would be no Thrash
5. Constantly complain that Thrash "killed off" NWOBHM; while secretly liking Thrash
6. When someone asks you what NWOBHM stands for, tell them something like "the best genre of music, ever." Make sure they still don't understand what it means.
7. Iron Maiden after "Killers" is not NWOBHM
8. Complain that Iron Maiden "stole" Bruce Dickinson from Samson, while praising him for his work in IM
9. Dress like you're from the 80s, this includes long unkempt hair, ripped jeans, ripped denim jackets with obscure band patches and an even more obscure band t-shirt
10. Pagan Altar are gods amongst men, this is unarguable
11.Def Leppard really really suck! (Apart from their debut)
12. When forming your own NWOBHM "tribute" band, record your album in the key of A
13. In fact, record your whole career in A
14. Make sure at least one song has the main riff lifted from "2 Minutes to Midnight"
15. Which was CLEARLY a rip-off from "Welcome To Hell" by Venom anyway
16. Ballads must have a clean picked intro, a crushing middle section, followed by a fast outro
17. Only write songs about sex, drugs and rock n roll...
18. And the Devil
19. Never down tune your guitars, ever (unless you're Venom)
20. You're not Venom and never will be
21. Bad production values are a MUST, if it's highly produced, it's not NWOBHM
22. Spend exactly £5.35 on producing your album
23. Did I mention the more obscure, the better?
24. Constantly complain that band X "should've made it big"
25. Complain about bands making it big and going commercial
26. Kevin Heyborne is a living legend, even if he can't keep a stable Angel Witch line-up for more than 5 seconds
27. Two words: Witchfinder General
28. Track down every demo, EP and single of your favourite NWOBHM band; go as far as contacting a former member and conducting an interview with him.
30. Start up a Neo-NWOBHM band...
31. But realize your only fans will probably be in Germany and/or Sweden...
32. And you can't afford to move there...
33. Nor would you want to because then you wouldn't be NWOBHM
34. Major record companies are evil; they killed off every NWOBHM act
35. Only sign with small independent record companies...
36. Or Neat
37. Brian Ross is your idol
38. Anything past 1986 isn't real metal....
39. Unless it's a NWOBHM reunion
40. Deliberately spell your band name wrong: substitute vowels for consonants (mainly y's) e.g. Tygers of Pan Tang, Tytan, Phyne Thanquz, etc
41. Name your band something completely irrelevant to the subject matter you sing about, e.g. Satan
42. Worship Diamond Head, daily, if necessary
43. Talk to mainstream metal fans about your favorite obscure NWOBHM act and tell them they're better than anyone they say (which is right, right?)
44. NWOBHM is the only genre that bad songwriting is acceptable
45. When recording your "live" album (keep in mind rule 21 and 22), dub in a few of your mates drunkenly shouting after every song has finished
46. Constantly remind people that Garage Inc. is far inferior to the original songs (especially the Diamond Head and Blitzkrieg covers)
47. Release your demo as a sleeveless 7" only make 500 copies; that way it'll be obscure enough to be classified as NWOBHM
48. Go to every NWOBHM reunion concert ever, even if they are held only in Germany and/or Sweden
49. High pitched vocals are a must. This is non-negotiable, unless you're Venom(see rule 20)
50. Keyboards are optional, keyboard solos however, are not
51. Never keep the same line-up for more than one single/demo/EP. Fire someone if you have to...
52. It'll probably be the drummer anyway
53. Motörhead and Judas Priestare not NWOBHM...
54. But they're pretty kickass nonetheless
55. To put your band in good light, tell people you used to perform at the Soundhouse, even if you weren't born in the 60s/70s...
56. They'd probably never find out anyway
57. NEVER under any circumstances give up on your quest for obscurity, no matter how far you dig, there will ALWAYS be a more obscure band out there (see rule 1)
58. Scorn Metallica for stealing Diamond Head's glory...
59. Even though they played together on at least one occasion
60. Lars Ulrich is an ass
61. Barry "Thuderstick" Graham isn't
62. Track down all of Bruce Dickinson's early recordings with Speed, Xero etc...
63. Even though they are pretty average at best
64. In NWOBHM, women are acceptable band members unlike that homo-erotic Thrash malarkey....
65. Keeping in mind rule 12, record a really heavy and fast song in the key of E...
66. Make it a B-side of a lightweight melodic rock song recorded in A...
67. The A-side is intended to get "recognized"
68. Getting recognized and becoming mainstream is not NWOBHM
69. Urchin are not NWOBHM but Dave Murray and Adrian Smith played in them so it's okay
70. There's much more to Holocaust than just "The Small Hours" but their version was better than Metallica's
71. Their version of "Master of Puppets" is also better than Metallica's
72. Bass MUST be audible, but keep in mind rules 21 and 22
73. Twin guitars are a must, this is essential...
74. Unless you're Venom (see rule 20)
75. Record a load of demos, stuff them in a box, break the band up and wait 20 years until "finding" them again, release them as "The Complete Anthology"
76. Instead of recommending the more known NWOBHM bands to interested friends, show them your collection of obscure 7" singles and demo tapes, tell them "you can look but not touch"...
77. No, you haven't listened to them either.
78. The NWOBHM Encyclopaedia by Malc McMillan is your bible...
79. You have it by your bedside table and read it every night
80. Owning a few Iron Maiden albums does not make you NWOBHM...
81. Even if they are Iron Maiden and Killers
82. Track down your favorite NWOBHM bands elusive out of print "second album"
83. Realize it's crap, but keep in anyway because you just shelled out 100quid for it on eBay
84. Following rule 83, debut albums are ALWAYS a NWOBHM band's best work, this is unarguable
85. You thought I was going to say "unless you're Venom" didn't you?
86. Venom's debut IS their best work, period
87. And possibly the worst produced album, ever
88. Re-release all your albums "remastered" with all your demos and EPs tacked on the end
89. Your debut album must be raw and frantic; your sophomore album must be either hair metal or AOR
90. Your album and/or single cover must be a black and white sketch done by your mate who does art in college (part time, of course) of either your band, the Grim Reaper, skulls, or some valiant warrior on horseback
91. Don't sing about the Grim Reaper, skulls, or some valiant warrior on horseback
92. Following rules 65 and 66, record a cheesy ballad with synthesizers, make it 9 minutes long and release the lot as an EP
93. Paul Di'Anno is still cool even if he was fired from Iron Maiden and done precisely nothing since then
94. To preserve your legacy, DON'T record an album, just singles, demos and EP's, this will ensure your place in the NWOBHM hall of fame...
95. After that see rule 75
96. Record all your material in your front room or garage
97. Paradoxically, foreign members are allowed in NWOBHM bands, hell, even full foreign bands can be classified as NWOBHM as long as they played at least one gig in London during the 80s
98. Progressive elements ARE allowed in NWOBHM, unlike that boring Thrash malarkey...
99. Thrash is actually really really cool, even if it is American
100. Remember kids, the more obscure the band, the better they are!
101. Don't take this list too seriously
