Clawfinger - Biggest & The Best

Today Im going to break some thingies here :)
We usually do classics on sundays but I saw a video on a friends FB, and I really loved it.

This is a Swedish rap/metal, kinda industry metal music, that I really like. They have cocky lyrics and good ones too.

For givin u an example this is the beggining of this tune, its sorta sarcastic :D

"Nobody is perfect but I'm pretty fucking close
and I'm here to give you all a heavy heavenly dose
I think you'd better listen 'cos I know who you are
and I think that you should treat me like a superstar
because I'm more than just a human I'm a gift to all of you
and I'm here to make sure that my message gets through
I wonder if you're really all as dumb as you look
or are you smart enough to learn the rules in my book
I hope you understand that the knowledge I bring
puts me in the position of a god or a king
'cos I'm blessed with the gift of the magic touch"



Clawfinger are currently working on a re-recording of their debut album Deaf Dumb Blind. The plan is to re-record all the songs from that album and bring in guests. Zak Tell has stated they were speaking with the members of Rammstein and Peter Tagtgren from the bands Pain and Hypocrisy.

Current members are,
Zak Tell on Lead vocals, lyrics
Jocke Skog on Keyboards, vocals
Bård Torstensen on Rhythm guitar
André Skaug on Bass
Micke Dahlén on Drums

Okey lets DIG!

Cheers, Thetania

Pain - Dirty Woman

 

Today we'll look at Heavy Metal act "Pain" (typeset as PAIN) who was the main act on the "Griståget" (Pig Train) ended the evening at Debaser. With lots of gadgets on stage so it looked very nice. All stage accessories should illustrate the latest record which I thought they succeeded quite well. But it was not just stuff on stage, but also on the premises, the gig was going be recorded for an upcoming Pain - DVD

Raubtier that opened really strong before it was time for the Pain. Mr. Tätgren and CO did a brilliant gig, tagged, eager and really wanted to give everything to satisfy the "Stockholm" audience who were already was well heated up what's required by Raubtiers warming up show.

It was a real hit cavalcade of music from Pain's catalog, the one thing I could point out on this evening was that I missed the PYRO, but to use Pyro inside on Debaser is not something you do.

Pain is known to use quite a lot of the pyrotechnic during their gigs. For those who do not know, so actually the band Pain a true (real) pyro-technicians, David Wallin (drummer) which both rigging the pyrotechnic and shoots it off under the show through his specially built pyropad which is part of his drum set (Actually this is very cool to see) can not really come up with any other drummer who does something similar to this, so this is probably quite unique. During the gig did the bassist "Andre Skaug" from Clawfinger jumped in and tore off a couple songs, what killer ride it became as he came in, he rushed around as a lunatic on the stage.

I can tell a small detail which was kinda funny, when the band bus arrived at the venue and the band members tumbled out from the bus,, then it popped out a issued a "groupie", well that was probably a bit exaggerated but anyway, it was quite a well known musician who knows the bands and followed on for a couple of gigs. He had obviously been drinking a bit to much the night before and passed out, which made that a couple of the band members had amused themselves to apply makeup on him, so he looked quite funny when he came out from the bus :)

Raubtier - En Hjältes Väg

For over a week ago, Debaser, Stockhom got a visit of Pain & Raubtier who made their last and final gig on the "Griståget tour" (Pigtrain tour). The name of the tour is a celebration of Pain and Raubtiers old heroes. The name "Griståget" (Pigtrain) was a tour collaboration in 1993 between Eddie Meduza and Svullo. The name was a travesty of "Rocktåget" (Rocktrain).

Toys, Toys, Toys, it was something that popped up everywhere when the Raubtiers stuff came up. Radio controlled airplanes, tanks ... a whole fucking toy shop ... haha. To spend one gig days pay in a toy store is pretty crazy, there is probably no one else who does this besides just Raubtier. A bit crazy, but really wonderful guys, you know one of those few.

Their performance was really good, extremely good response from the audience who sang along to every line of text, shaking their fists and shouted right where it would be, in other words, a perfect band to warm up before the main act.

During their gig did they got accompanied on stage by the band Pain, André Skaug (bassist from Clawfinger), Pär Sundström (bassist from Sabaton) and Joakim Broden (singer from Sabaton), resulting in a huge boost to the audience and Raubtier.

A little funny detail was at Changeover when Raubtiers gadgets should get down from the stage and Pains stage be prepared, there was one of the members of the Sabaton (no names mentioned) in the way all the time, all the time is well to exaggerate, but it was kind of funny when we ran into each other all time, at one point I thought he fitted well to will the first camouflage holder (Rabutier had two large cammo nets hanging over the scene), it was a very interesting sight, suited well with Sabaton :-)

This time I was unfortunately unable to photograph the gig, so you simply have to make it with my before the gig pictures and then i have some pictures from the festival photographer Jasmin Wikström.
