Den 12/10 bar det av till Oslo och min älskade Martine (Aka GoodToBeBadGirl) och Greeeen Daaaay.

JAG kom till Oslo lite drygt.. 15.30 och Martine kom till Oslo (Från Sone) runt 16.30 kanske? Vi gick runt lite på stan(var de spelade Lady G’s Money Honey. Ska de göra en hit på den med?), käkade, låste in mitt bagage och gick sedan till Spektrum, vilket visade sig ligga PRECIS bredvid bussterminalen. Haha, vi trodde vi skulle behöva leta runt halva Oslo! Jaja, så gick det med det. Vi gick till första ingången som visade sig vara Ingång 3 (!?) och sa till oss att gå runt hörnet, var vi fann Ingång 1, och även DE bad oss gå runt ytterliggare ett hörn, till Ingång 5. En ingång som inte fanns där. Vi hittade Ingång 10 däremot, och DÄR fick vi gå in. En sak som var skummelt var att Martine fick INTE ta med sina kedjor in! Ni vet sådana kedjor man har på byxorna? Haha. Det var intressant… Dock gjorde vi en AC/DC* och missade halva förbandet, vilket inte gör något. Dem var visserligen  BÄTTRE än AC/DCs förband, men nåja… Och förresten, Minns ni att jag kommenterade att en i Lady GaGas förband var lik min filmlärare Petter? Petter är verksam i många band, för här var han igen! Som basist. Tyvärr så glömde jag MINNESKORTET hemma, så alla (läs 5) bilderna som jag har ligger på kamerans minne, och sladden.. funkar bara inte. Ska prova med skoldatorn vid tillfälle, men just nu = inga bilder.

Paus blev, och jag och Martine försåg oss med Solo, Norges motsvarighet till Fanta (som Martine så fint kallade det). Vi behövde dock inte vänta länge på Green Day, tycker jag i alla fall, kanske berodde det på den supande kaninen som kom ut i pausen och ramlade runt på scen. Inte vet jag. Men hursomhelst, så kom de ut, med två (kan ha varit fler) extra medlemmar på Gitarr och Keyboard (är de en del av Foxboro Hot Tubs eller bara delar i bandet?) Jag kan inte säga att jag är så JÄTTE inne på Green Day, så jag kan väl inte ge er en detaljerad setlist, tyvärr. Sorry. Men det som jag finner roligt var att redan i tredje låten(Holiday) drar Billie Joe upp en ur publiken som heter Sigfrid som hjälper till. Sen när han sprutar vatten /toapapper/t-tröjor drar han upp en ännu till som hjälper honom.

Sen när de börjar på något som jag antar är en relativt ny låt, drar han först upp en kille som sjunger första versen och refrängen, skickar ner honom och drar upp en tjej som sjunger resten av låten. Wow. Jag blev så glad när jag såg henne hoppa runt och springa omkring på scenen. Och så söt hon var sen när Billie Joe fotade henne. Det måste ha varit den bästa dagen i hennes liv hittils.

Efter att ha dragit av populära låtar som “King For A Day” (Var Billie Joe konstaterade att det var Katy Perry på trummor), “Saint Jimmy”, “Basket Case” och “21 Guns” så avslutar de setet med “American Eugology” (stavning anyone?) (Notera att INTE “Wake Me Up When September Ends” har spelats!)

De kommer ut igen (nähä?!) och spelar bland annat min favorit, nej, de AVSLUTAR hela konserten med min favorit “Minority”. Så vad ska man säga om konserten? Den var grym. På riktigt, den var riktigt bra med mycket pyro också! Visst, det är inte LORDI, men vem är som Lordi? Nej precis. Enda störande momentet var avsaknade av “Wake Me Up When September Ends” (ja, det är faktiskt en av mina favoritlåtar, deal with it) och de där överviktiga jobbiga tjejerna som sprang förbi oss hela tiden.

Bilder kommer väl så snart som möjligt.

7/10

1000 miles with HEATis currently playing in the press. Thanks to the lovely guy next to me I could finally reach the #¤Y&”)¤&) Internet. So, From now on to get a bigger audience reading, I’ll sum these days up in english.

So, Yesterday was more or like the first day. After having a rather scary night at Axident Avenue (Norweigan Nordic Challenge Winner, Gibson Stage Friday). We woke up and once again crashed the poor norweigans. They didn’t mind 🙂 We went seeing Innocent Rosie with them, a swedish glam/sleazeband. Must say that they put up a really good show!

I loved their music, never heard their music before you see. The only dysfunctional thing I found was that the singer was bold. But it’s ok.

We were supposed to do an interview but when Ricky said we should do it at the toilet I  more or less realized that they were WAAAY to drunk for that. (Did I mention I was more or less the only sober one at the camp?)

So, we… went back I think. Before we ran off to eat. No, we had done that already, I don’t know what we did inbetween, but me and Valentine were supposed to get back to the tent, when we met up with their drummer Ole, and just like that we decided to go see Uriah Heep. On the way there we met both Pär Sundström from Sabaton and Jimmy Jay from H.E.A.T. Nice. Oh, I interviewed Chains too! That was nice, lovely guys really.

Anyhow, we went down and as they bought beer, I met up with Daniel Mÿhr from Sabaton! And since V and O were… waaaaay to drunk to give a fuck, or they did, but they behaved like 5 years old ;D, so I asked my dear Daniel to come with us, which he did!

And I can tell, he’s a lovley guy! Thanks for keeping me company Daniel!

V and O ran off in the middle of Uriah Heep, that was a great show by the way! Guided by Daniel throughout the show I really enjoyed it! Wow. But no pics. It was too freaking cold!! Anyhow, V and O ran off, so after the show me and Daniel went lookin’ and waitin’ for them, but after half an hour or so, we gave up and he went to his camp and I went to Axidents.

Who do I meet there if not V?! And the first thing Jessica says is like “LOOK V! There she is!” Lovley. But then he warmed me up with his sleepingbag. My tentmates picked us up and we went to some sort of…. öhh, party. After I heard my dear Lady Gaga on the radio I left, and picked up my stuff I left at V and went to sleep.

That was yesterday, now let’s talk about today!

Well, I just got here. I was supposed to see the First Nemis band, but Williame ran off so I had to finbd her and then the queue for the toilet is.. an eternity. So I missed that out, but it’s ok. And now I’m here. In less than an hour I’m supposed to interview HEAT, so I better getgoing!

See yah next time Rockkers!!

…warned but did not heed….

Sabaton. I told you in my last entry to buy the new record, The Art Of War. Did you? If not, just fucking do! Wheter you like heavy metal or not, only the theme of the CD will make you love it 😀

Talking about Sabaton and Dalarna and Falun, I’ve just arrived from the Peace&Love festival that is hosted in Borlänge ( a city close to Falun, so you got what I was talking about now haha) and it was… OK.

Day 1 began with us watching Amanda Jenssen, you know the girl that came oin 2dn place in the swedish versionof American Idol. Everyone that ends up as 2nd makes it better than the one that wins, why? But anyone, it was a nice way to start the day actually. After that we went to the Himalaya stage for watching Hardcore Superstar. We’d planned to watch Opeth after that, just like one or two songs and then go for eating.
During our way to the Fantasia stage, we complained over the fact that Sabaton wasn’t playing at the festival, I mean, Borlänge isn’t that far away from Falun and Sabaton is huge in Dalarna. When we got closer to the stage I got the feeling I recognized the song they were playing. Rise Of Evil? No, couldn’t be.

Yes it could. When we reached the stage the first thing we saw was the HUGE Sabaton backdrop. The only thing we ( me & Katja) could do was to stare. Since when?! And tell me, how often do you just run into your favourite band like that?! Not everyday, no no! They were really the highlight of the festival ❤

Afterwards we went eating, before we decided to watch a little bit of In Flames before we went for Vanity BLVD. So we did. Vanity, they were good, just a bit unproffessional, but that was just cute! Cindi is pretty ^^

Day 2 began with watching Hellacopters a bit. They were OK. After them we went for Dark Tranquility, they were OK to. Then we reached our goal for today, SEX PISTOLS!
“Let Allah be prized, and let Iraq be erased”
They were really good! 😀 We met Kitty Jutbring and Lamont-Krisse during this.

Day 3 began with… Dorleen Love. Swedish band playing Polish folkmusic. Weird yeah. Then Neverstore, which we watched only for the reason to get good places for The 69 Eyes… which was wonderful ❤ they’re the best ❤
Right after the eyes we went to Eldorado.. dadam! W.A.S.P. was playing there,
Disappointment for more.
It looked like a upcoming-newstarted-swedish band was going to play. And when they( read:Blackie Lawless) I didn’t know what to do but cry. This was seriously a upcoming-newstarted-but american, band. He looked like a indian hockeyplayer :D…. >.<.
Even funnier (or worse) was that they didn’t play Animal ( I fuck like a beast). Why was it fun? Because Sex Pistols went out twice and did 2 encores. So when W.A.S.P. left for the 2nd time, everyone was staying and a Håkan Hellström fan asked “If you’re not going to see Håkan, why are you staying?” a girl beside us told them “They haven’t played Animal yet. That’s why” I think every single W.A.S.P fan stayed until Håkans piano was rolled out on the stage XD haha ❤ After W.A.S.P we ate, and went to Hanoi Rocks where we got rid of the last energy by dancing like fools to it. Hanoi Rocks = Metals answer on Sven Ingvars 😉 Without insulting. And Mike Monroe is still hot after all these years.

So over all? This wasn’t the best festival. But it could’ve been worse.

It was FUCKING wonderful^^ Okay, Here’s my story of the trip! 🙂

Left Karlstad at 09.04, arrived in Gothenburg at 12 something. Was supposed to meet up with Lina around 15.30 (or similar) Did nothing really. First I just sat, pretty apathetic at the station, before I decided to go to fucking Shock to get what I was up to get. First I thought I went wrong, but fortuneatley I was right^^ I love that store, and especially so here on the day, not many people there, that makes stuffs eaiser, at least for me personally. Got back to the station, sat there again, until I realized there was this internetcafe’s there. Sat there for an hour or so, then I sat again. Interesting huh? Went eating, and then I went back, since Lina was supposed to come soon!

Lina cam at 15.40 or something, and first we didn’t find each other, and that is not that weird, since Lina was in the other side of this huge station. haha. Found her later at least, and we went home to her, put in the bags and ate a little, checked up when the doors were supposed to be opened, since Twisted Sister isn’t THAT important, it wasn’t HammerFall, you get it? So we went there, what we thought were 30 mins before the opening of the doors. It was 90. GAAAH. We were almost frozen to stones, but at least we managed to get to decide that we would stand on the balcony, since it would give us a better sight. Said and Done. Easy Action opened, they were not really in my taste, some songs where good maybe, but not more than so. Inbetween Twisted and Action I spotted a wellknown person down in the crowd ^^ Mr. Dronjak, a Sick MotherFucker, himself to be exact! Woho, you should have seen me, haha. Naturally I messed Katja about this. She went pretty crazy too^^ Twisted fucking sister began sooner or later, and they were really good 😀 It was said that their christmas CD “A Twisted Christmas” is supposed to be bad, but I’m not sure… XD I loved their version of “I Saw Mama Kissing Santa Claus” So I think I’ll like this *S*

Afterwards we just went home, and I called Katja on the way home, and it was confirmed she was crazy ^^

We went to bed, and next day I were supposed to go home with the train. SUPPOSED TO. I missed it. ADSSAJHFDSH! about that!! But I called my mother, and she fixed bustickets for a bus that’d go at 08.50, so I came home, only missed the Mediaproduction. But whatever.

Heard that they had been going through how to do an interview. I HATE OUR SCHOOL ON THIS!!

We’ve had many lessons with Anders/Thomas where we only have been writing for the paper, so why couldn’t we have gone through all this before? My interview is already done!!! But probably it’s made in a wrong way.!!! AND ITS NOT REALLY LIKE I CAN REDO THE INTERVIEW WITH PONTUS!!!!!!

GAAAAH!

Anyway, have to quit. In school, should be doing english articles, and students from my old school just came, So I really have to quit!!

Have fun^^

7 days until Jepsons motherfucker kid is awaited!
31 days until fucking Marilyn Manson!

I know! I haven’t been blogging since before Monsters Of Mora, and I can’t really say much about MoM either, it was just so fucking good! HammerFall could have done a better gig, of course! But Sabaton was amazing…..

And berlin: Here is the whole story:

We went to the venue like 10 minutes before they opened the door (a vbit different from my usual long queueings XD) We had some problems checking in within the Guestlist, cause he didn’t understand my name XD men But then he got my pass, so everything sorted out and me and nina came in! :D! We went to the hall right away, but it was filled n the first line by,  – believe it or not – 40+ people! (gotthard fans). Except from Carsten, Hilde and Anette . Me and Nina stood with them, The Poodles played and hour and it was so fucking wonderful!Afterwards we went to the Merchandise shop and got what we were supposed to get, and looked for Peter. We tried at least. Nina asked everywhere, and she got the answer she should look at the stage. Wonderful, it was 5 mins left to Gotthard, and it was sold out, and she was supposed to get trhough there?! Well, she managed. Me myself stood in the bar, looking at Gotthard, not really w orth it that we both should try to get trough. After 20 mins the technics get back to Nina.XD. The technic disapeard again, trying to look for our Backstagepasses, but of course he failed to find them, Tho he brought us backstage and left us in  The Mighty Pontus Egbergs hands. A notice is that I always manage to walk into people(last time it was Lordis wife). This time, my victim was  Pontus Norgren Dressed only in a towel Feel that one 😀“- So now on you can speak swedish with him or something..”
“-You talk swedish?”
“-yes;D”
“-You’re from Sweden? :D”
“-Yes. :D”
“-Åh :D”
“-Öh… Yeah.. We’re interviewing you for a schoolpaper.”
“-Okej :D”
“-Jess…”
“- John Bauer gymnasiet?”
“-Ja… like, Media stuff :D…”
“- Okej ;D!”He was sooooo nice and the interview went on good, event ho I didn’t have a voice (sick as I am :S) and he followed us down, since he was up to see Gotthard as well!We went down, Nina stayefd at the merch, since The Poodles would show up there at 23, and she didn’t really want to see Gotthard. Me went and looked at Gotthard, well, as good as I could. When gotthard was over, I went to Nina again.In exact time Egberg came  🙂 he like, signed everything we had and I took my time to photograh him for the interview, cause fucking me forgot that at the backstage (I have lost the interview btw 😦  )so, and then little Jake, Kicken and Pontus came out. Maybe not in that order, but whatever! It wasn’t until now I realized that it was with Carsten I had been standing, I understood it cause Kicken showed his tatoo to us!I realized that Kicken is the best and I love him!!!Yes 🙂

“-We found Peter, but there is a problem”
“-Oh yeah?”
“-He is sleeping.”

And now to the title of today, and this is only for swedes, sorry!

Alltså, FoxyLady har kommit på en fin ide, om att ALLA Slaughter fans ska göra en virtuellpresent till Dana, till hans födelsedag, som hon sedan printar och ger till honom. Och jag tänkte givetvis hoppa på. Men istället för att göra en personligen, så tänkte jag göra en “Love From Sweden: Sara, Johan… osv osv” Men jag behöver fler som är med på det!!

KOM IGEN!! Vi snackar om han som introcuderade Randy Rhodes till Ozzy Osbourne, han som fixade in Mark St. John i Kiss!!!! VI SNACKAR OM VINNIE VINCENT INVASION, och framförallt om SLAUGHTER! Och Vince Neil show!!!

Kom igen alla! Vill ni vara med, Kommentera här under med önskad signatur.. Vill ni heta “Linnea” eller “CHANDELiER” eller “SaraSalo” det spelar ingen roll!! Kommentera här under! TACK!

Okay, that’s it I belive!
