Rock You Like A Hurricane.

ok...so...this is better than anything on Rocks??

In my opinion Aerosmith is overrated.

And there's some awesome metal:

Amon Amarth:

To those who think Dio era is not good.

The Sign Of The Southern Cross

And don't forget this man is 65 years old. He maybe can't touch his singing in the studio version, which is maybe the best singing ever, but he still can pull of this incredible song.

Someone mentioned the lyrics before. I think his lyrics are so awesome. They are so moony. Absolutely love them. For example the lyrics of the song mentioned before.

If there isnt light when no one sees

Then how can I know what you might believe?

A story told that cant be real

Somehow must reflect the truth we feel, yeah

Fade away, fade away

Vanish into small

Fade away, fade away

Break the crystal ball - oh!

Its the sign

Feels like the time!

On a small world, west of wonder

Somwhere, nowhere all

Theres a rainbow that will shimmer

When the summer falls

If an echo darts in dancer

When it hears a certain song

Then the beast is free to wander

But never is seen around

And its the sign of the southern cross

Its the sign of the southern cross

All right

Sail away

To the sign

Ohh

From the book, the word is spoken

Whispers from forgotten psalms

Gather all around the young ones

They will make us strong

Reach above your dreams of pleasure

Given life to those who died

Look beyond your own horizons

Sail the ship of signs

And its the sign of the southern cross

Its the sign of the southern cross

Fade away, fade away

Break the crystal ball

Fade away, fade away

I cant accept it anymore

On a real world, west of wonder

Somwhere, nowhere all

Theres a rainbow, see it shimmer

When the summer falls

From the book, the word is spoken

Whispers from forgotten psalms

Gather all around the young ones

They will make us strong!

Its the sign of the southern cross

Its the sign of the southern cross

Dont live for pleasure

Make life your treasure

Fade away!

Eight miles high, about to fall

And no one there to catch you

Look for the sign, the time

The sign of the southern cross, yeah

Black Sabbath are awesome. I love the Ozzy and Dio era.

If I had to chose my 3 favourite songs, they would be:

The Sign Of The Southern Cross

Heaven And Hell

N.I.B.

Awesome tracks and awesome bands. Tony Iommi is the master of riffs.

Have these guys been big in Norway for quite awhile? I used to keep in contact with someone from Norway back in 2000, and once they sent me a burned cd with a bunch of songs on it. It had a few songs by this band, HIM. The one song that stuck out was a song called "Your Sweet 666" or something like that. Same band i assume?

I found it kinda odd a couple years ago when all this HIM merch started popping up in Hot Topic and Spencer's.

Yes, it's the same band. They are from Finland and they have been quite big in Europe since, let's say 1999 I think their last album reached the US Top 20, too

Udo dirkschiner or how the hell you spell his name

Bonnie Tyler

Mikael Stanne

etc

udo that is very Unique awsome like accept alot cant believe i forgot him

Worst act I've ever seen live.

Of course Lemmy Kilmister.

i used to like HIM but since the past album dark light i hated them so i didnt bother with this one but perhaps i should? everyone's been telling that it doesnt suck as the last one

Here you can listen to the new album http://www.myspace.com/himinternational

Check out Love In Cold Blood and Sleepwalking Past Home (don't think it's the whole 10 minute track) and Cyanide Sun. Awesome tracks, really.

Chris seriously, I like you, but man, stop making Tokio Hotel threads on a GN'R board. Really, they suck and they are the most laughed at band here ever.

Metal is about 1 million times better. I can't name one punk band I like.

Picked up their newest album and I have to say, it's awesome. I didn't like their last one that much, but this one rocks. It's way less commercial then their other albums (though I love them, own all HIM albums). The songs are way heavier and there's even some Doom Metal and some nice guitar work on there. Didn't know Lily Lazer is such a fast guitarist.

Outstanding is their 10 minute song "Sleepwalking Past Home". It's one masterpiece.

Anybody got this album?

I can recommend it. And if you don't like HIM, then at least check out the song I mentioned above. Really worth listening to.

Accept - Objection Overruled

Accept?

Are you joking? Udo Dirkschneider is horrible. Seen him with his band U.D.O. by far the worst act I've ever seen, coming from a person who has seen bands like Kasabian or Lauren Harris.

I hate them. They've been terrorising Switzerland/Germany for the last, don't know 2 years maybe with their songs.

In Switzerland, only little girls are allowed to like them. Every other person gets beaten up, which I think is a good thing.

My mate once told me he almost fell in love with Bill, the singer. But then he found out she was a boy.

It's hard to argue the brilliance of this song

And yet, people do!!

I honestly can't wrap my head around it... how can a human being NOT appreciate the greatness of this song?!

I don't know why, it's just boring to me. Houses Of The Holy is an incredible album, but I sometimes skip The Rain song. The best song on the album is definitely No Quarter. That's one really awesome song.

I think that's probably the worst song on Houses Of The Holy.

Nirvana

Evanescence

Linkin Park

The last one almost made me puke.

Man, always knew them, but never really checked out there music. Leningrad is an awesome song.

I think The Wall should be in front of Dark Side Of The Moon. DSOTM is one of the most overrated albums ever.

No, it's not. DSOTM is way better than The Wall.

I don't think so. DSOTM is basically a very boring album with a very few good songs. At least the Wall has stuff like Comfortably Numb, Young Lust, Hey You, etc. on there.

I think The Wall should be in front of Dark Side Of The Moon. DSOTM is one of the most overrated albums ever.

I think people who actually have a serious answer standing in this thread did not watch the video I posted.

Kid Rock rules

I found out Ratt are coming to Zurich so I checked out some video and came upon this. Awesome guitar solo.

Man these guys really rock After seeing this there's no doubt this is going to be an awesome concert. B)

No, it's crappy pop made for girls.

Well.. that is your opinion... GOOD FOR YOU..

Anyway.. I just can`t stand RAP..

It's not an opinion, it's a well-known fact.

And what's wrong about rap?

It's just not music. That's why I can't stand rap. I mean, I can talk about how much kick-ass I am in front of a never ending repeating beat and it's basically the same.

It's better than the new rap crap, but it's nothing I'd listen to.
