Roger Waters - The Wall



Roger Waters are comming to Stockholm in May!!!
This is a very big moment for all Roger Waters fans as well as Pink Floyds fans.



For those who dont know who he is:
George Roger Waters is an English musician, singer-songwriter and composer. He was a founding member of the rock band Pink Floyd, serving as bassist and co-lead vocalist. Following the departure of bandmate Syd Barrett in 1968, Waters became the band's lyricist, principal songwriter and conceptual leader.



Roger Waters and The Wall will land in 25 European cities to celebrate that it's been 30 years since the album The Wall was released, and with Waters himself hinted that this will be his last tour, this will be nothing more than decade's hottest.

Starting in March 2011, Roger Waters and The Wall, visit the following cities: Lisbon, Madrid, Barcelona, Milan, Arnhem, Budapest, Prague, Lodz, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Helsinki, Oslo, Stockholm, Copenhagen, London, Manchester, Dublin , Antwerp, Paris, Mannheim, Zurich, Hamburg, Berlin and Düsseldorf.

Previously, the show's production was too large to be taken on tour around the world, but with new stadiums and new technology the dilemma is solved , and now, after months of thorough planning, Waters has updated both the feeling and the visuals of the show to ensure that it is consistent with the dazzling extravagant impression that The Wall live once became so legendary for. This allowed yet another generation to be inspired by the equally grandiose as breathtaking audiovisual experience.



The show begins with the wall torn down and during the show the first part being built up again, block for block. During the show's last part is the wall completely finished. Roger Waters has developed a dynamic new video graphic and illustrative images projected on the wall that keeps the gigantic dimensions of 743 square meters. The show contains grandiose special effects such as Gerald Scarves original illustrations, a crashing airplane, kvadrofoniskt sound, pyrotechnics, the spot pods, giant inflatable figures, projections, video projections and a number of other profound effects.



Roger Waters band on tour made up of Dave Kilminster (guitar), Snowy White (guitar), GE Smith (guitar) Jon Carin (keyboards), Harry Waters (keyboards), Graham Broad (drums), Robbie Wyckoff, Jon Joyce (Vocals) , Michael Lennon (vocals), Mark Lennon (vocals) and Kipp Lennon (vocals).

Ladys and Gents, here are some videos of Roger Waters.

Enjoy!

Love, Thetania

Mount Baden Powell

Sorry we didn't get a chance to get to this post for a while. Right when I was going to post it, I had to wait because of what happened to my Mother. Naturally her post took precedence. So here we are a month after the event posting about Mount Baden Powell.

On New Years Day a few weeks ago, Jennifer and I decided that we wanted to go on a hike for the day. We also wanted to play in the snow. Mount Baden Powell is what came as a result.

Mount Baden Powell is a hiking trail in the Wrightwood area in Southern California. This trail covers part of the Pacific Crest Trail (Which I would love to hike someday) and is named after the founder of the Boy Scouts. We decided to take Sam with us because she has never seen the snow before. Here is our photo journal of the trip.

Sam loved the snow! We were worried about her getting cold, but her thick coat kept her plenty warm. We loved throwing snow balls off in the distance simply to watch her frolicking through the thick powdery snow. Sam couldn't resist munching on snow during any down time.



Jen and I tried covering all of our bases while in the snow, such as making snow angels, eating snow, and you guessed it peeing in it (Jen didn't want to participate in the latter part).



Love this picture.




I couldn't resist getting a little Bear Grills.




We ended our trip with this breath taking view. Nothing gets better than this. Afterwords we enjoyed four hours of traffic, but it was all worth it. Jen and I would love to come back someday and do an official camp out.

Mass Murder Agenda - Never Again



A friend of mine, Tristan have a band and I heard some of their tunes
on myspace. I liked it a lot and now they did a video!!



So I thought Ill share it with u.

This is how they describe themselfs.

"Mass Murder Agenda was born in the late summer of 2009 by Bass player
Joakim Hedestedt (Face Down, Nation Beyond, ex-Construcdead).
The Idea was to mix thrash with industrial metal with no intention at all of
being original, just aggressive enough to play live. After written four bone crushing songs came the hard task to find the right band.

For the vocal parts Joakim chose his long time friend Tristan Agdler (ex-NIL) for his perfect mix of hard and melodic voice.



For programming and technical issues the hard burden fell on Henrik Blomqvist
(ex-Face Down), a choice that shown to be over all expectations.

When it came to drums there were only one name, Christoffer Barkensjö (Construcdead, Face Down and Kaamos) beside the fact of friendship Chris is by far one of the best metal drummers out there.



After trying a few guitarists an old friend gave tips of her boy friend Martin Sundberg (ex-Sexy Death), he was looking for a way into the more aggressive metal scene. Needless to say this was the best choice ever, besides being a very good friend, Martin brings the right heaviness and also the skills to program the right industrial sound.



Up to today we have spent the last months rehearsing and writing,
I hope you like what you hear...best described as "Industrial Hardcore".
Video is made by Gunnar Moe Petersen"

Folks, Here is Mass Murder Agenda with Never Again.

Cheers, Thetania

Aldo Nova - Fantasy


Well then it was Friday again, today I will share with you a real classic, we do a flashback to the year 1982. This was the year that Aldo Nova debuted with the album, Aldo Nova and had a big hit with the single "Fantasy. He was also known for the song "Monkey On Your Back" from the album "Subject ... Aldo Nova". But after the fiasco of the third album "Twitch" (which became an unexpected success in Sweden), Aldo Nova put his music industry on the shelf. Six years later he returned with the album "Blood on the Bricks" in which he wrote most of the songs with Jon Bon Jovi. The record was no further success and Aldo Nova stopped completely as a solo performer. In recent years have Aldo Nova worked as a songwriter and with some success, he have done some hit songs for Celine Dion and Clay Aiken.


In 2010, planned a comeback album, entitled "Too Much Sex". His first concert would have been at the Sweden Rock Festival, but the concert was canceled due that he is recovering from a very serious surgery and was not allowed to perform as it could danger the healing process. But since Aldo Nova himself had been looking forward to the gig he promised to return to the festival in 2011 instead, we'll see what happens with it, nothing is confirmed yet, it would be fun for both him and the fans to see him perform again.




Todays tune "Fantasy" is the first single from Aldo Nova and is regarded as his most popular work to date. Released on his eponymous debut album in 1981. Check out the video, love the outfit he has, somewhat reminiscent of a Finnish car seat. Enjoy!



A cover version of the song, performed by Steel Panther, is the current theme song for the MTV show Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Factory. The cover by Steel Panther is now currently available as a download on iTunes.

Megadeth - Breadline


Megadeth is an American heavy metal band from Los Angeles, California, formed in 1983. Founded by guitarist/vocalist Dave Mustaine and bassist David Ellefson following Mustaine's departure from Metallica, the band has since released 12 studio albums, three live albums, two EPs, 26 singles, 32 music videos, four compilations and one box set. As a pioneer of the American thrash metal movement, Megadeth rose to international fame in the 1980s and was ranked as one of the "Big Four of Thrash," along with Metallica, Slayer, and Anthrax, who were responsible for creating, developing and popularizing the thrash metal sub-genre.


Todays tune "Breadline" is a single off their album Risk. The remix single was released only in Japan. Its lyrics describe a poor man with no money or possessions to call his own (although the line "sniffing up the white lines" suggests he has access to cocaine).


The album "Risk" is the eighth studio album, released in 1999. Risk is the last original Megadeth release to feature long time Megadeth guitarist Marty Friedman, who announced his departure from the group in March 2000. This album is the first Megadeth recording with drummer Jimmy DeGrasso. The title stems from a comment by Lars Ulrich from Metallica, who suggested to Dave Mustaine that he take more "risks" with his music. This decision resulted in mixed reviews for both the band and the album; a good portion did not favor the new sound and image, while other praised the band for attempting something different and experimenting rather than sticking to their roots. Risk went gold in 1999 as stated on Megadeth's web site.
