Ska is like reggae without the inclusion and "goodnatureness". As if a bunch of hippie musicians ran out of weed.
...and started using metamphetamines instead :smile:.
The Grateful Dead disowned their first album. "We took too much speed" they confessed.

Stevie (Wonder) was the original for that.
True and ironic. Is there a word for that? If there is I bet it's German.

It's called Death Metal. I was going to mention that, but nah. Too easy a target.
I like hardcore metal. I don't really care what they're "singing" (read: screaming). I like the energy, that "pissed-off-ness" and the lack of scene-show.

Denmark - Wacken is not really a long distance ...
Hah, yeh. I was thrown out of Frederecia "hardcore" festival because I complained about the vegetarian menu. In the end I was "escorted" out of town, handcuffed by police, put on a train: "Don't come back!".

I can hope Wacken is a little more "hardcore".

Good music though. I hugged one of their vocalists.

EDIT: Thinking about it that sounded pretty glib. I admit I behaved like an idiot. I probably got what I deserved but it was fun nonetheless.

I can't stand loops, but am OK with a musician playing the same thing over and over. The difference is too subtle for me to hear, but I can feel it. Or at least I believe I can. I'd be willing to take a blindfold test.

I will no longer listen to heavy metal covers of pop tunes. It gets old fast.

I don't know, I like it.
