Joo, ei mitään mieletöntä, mutta toimii. Jälkimmäinen melodia oli nyt mitä oli, mutta niin kuin Asa sanoi, niin riffejä mukaan!

The Edge of darkness by Blaze and the other boy

Odotin järkyttävän kovaa kamaa. Yhtäkkiä huomasin miettiväni, että Maiden soittaa tämän paremmin ja raskaammin.
Pettymys

[Tag]

^Ostin ton DVDn lähestulkoon pelkästään kys. biisin takia ja pettymyshän se oli tosiaan. Muuten kyllä ihan asiallinen DVD, joskin vähän suttuisen oloinen visuaalisesti. Tietysti muistetaan, että resursseja ei Blazella ole niin paljon käytettävissä tällaisiin, kuin esim. Maidenilla tai muilla isomman luokan bändeillä.

Lady GaGa tulevalle Blaze levylle?
Hieno nähdä, että Blazekin ymmärtää Lady GaGaa jos ei nyt kuitenkaan hänen musaansa välttämättä kuuntele. Esim Bruce rupeaisi varmaankin suoltamaan lapsellista "kaikki poppi on paskaa settiään" ...vai rupeaisikohan sittenkään, kun Gagga on Maidenia kovin buffannut, niin voisi mennä muutama punta ohisuun Dickin kassasta.

^Miksiköhän Maiden ei ottanut tätä mukaan settiin Virtual tourilla?

Ihmettelen samaa. Kelpaisi kuulla Brucenkin laulamana. Sinänsä kyllä jännää tuo taannoinen ratkaisu. Ehkä ajattelivat, että Afraid to Shoot Strangers olisi tunnettavuutensa puolesta parempi "sotaballadi" settiin ja Como Estais ei enää kaveriksi mahtuisi. Sääli sinänsä. Como Estais nyt on miehen parhaita laulusuorituksia Maidenissa ja Afraid to Shoot Strangers nyt meni muuten varsin hienosti Blazelta. Toki mahdollisesti ajattelivat vain olla soittamatta kaikki biisejä (Don't Look to the Eyes of a Strangerhan soitettiin pari kertaa), mutta tuskin muuan The Angel and the Gamblerin soittamatta jättäminen mikään rikos Maidenfaniarvoja vastaan olisi ollut...

A personal xmas message from Blaze...
i wish you a metal xmas, and hangoverless new year.

this is my xmas message. many important leaders and religious types do this sort of thing. i just wanted to say a few words to you my incredible wonderful fans so you would know I'm thinking of you at this time of year, and you now have an alternative to those all the other non metal xmas messages.

as i look back over this last year it has been amongst the best and worst of years of my life and my career in music. the lows have felt crippling and desperate. the highs have been euphoric and intoxicating.
i have split with the band that recorded and toured "the man who would not die" and "promise and terror". i tried so hard to keep it together, but the gods and the stars and that swiss mountain, and the british government and my mental health and the scratch cards and the lottery were against us.
now i have started a new kind of therapy called cognitive therapy to try and resolve some of my long term mental health problems. i know it will be a long road but i have taken the first steps toward a future that was not mine a year ago. recording a great album and doing a crazy tour with the reformed wolfsbane as well as lots of shows of my own and witnessing the birth of my first child, a beautiful baby girl, have been some of the highlights.

in science wonderful discoveries of faster than light particles and the almost proven existence of the Higgs Boson (god) particle and new theories in cosmology that question the big bang theory and propose that there is a mulitverse, and the discovery of new earth like planets orbiting distant suns. its an exciting time for those of us who believe as i do, that everything is bigger, smaller, older and more obvious and important than some people want us to think they are.
back here on earth, black sabbath will reform with the original line-up and make an album and do some festivals and a tour. also the olympics will be in the UK. but i won't be competing this year because darts still has not been recognised as an olympic sport LOL. and there is no news of black sabbath, iron maiden, or judas priest or me playing the opening ceremony.

as i look forward, i hope for a positive year for all of you who have supported me and had faith in me and believed in me. i wish every one of you the very best in the coming days, weeks and months.

work has now started on my new album. with luck it should be ready at the start of my tour on the 8th of march 2012 in belgium. the new album and the tour are called "the king of metal". over the many years i have been a professional singer, and through my ups and downs, i have noticed how some artists and bands take their success and their fans for granted. for me there is no heavy metal without heavy metal fans. i am dedicating the new album and tour to my fans and the fans of heavy metal.
it is called "the king of metal" because you the fans are the real kings of metal. each one of you that buys albums and merchandise and tickets to gigs, is a king of metal to me. i will try and keep the ticket prices as low as i can where ever it is possible on this tour. as a thank you to my hardcore loyal fans, the next big bash will be a free all ages show, but under 16s must bring an adult. even though it's free you will need a ticket. tickets are available at my webshop. please don't order a ticket unless you are definitely going to the show, because there is only a 300 capacity at the venue. it's on sunday 20th of may at the public in West Bromwich, England.
yes it is you. each one of you is the king of metal.

in the next year i will be touring in lots of different countries including my first tour of Australia and my first solo tour of canada. i'll be playing about 100 gigs in venues big and small. i hope to meet you and tell you in person how much i appreciate your support.

my thoughts are with any one of you, who are grieving the loss of a loved one or spending your first xmas without them. in our quiet moments its natural to miss some one who cannot be with us. if it all gets a bit too much, we can only do our best to stay as strong as we can and cope as best we can.

to all of you.
my friends
my supporters
my fans
i wish you the very best this yule tide has to offer.
have the best xmas and new year you can.
be gentle with your self, avoid too much rich food and drink plenty of water.

peace on earth.
good metal to every one.

cheers
B

Hienoa lukea, että Blaze määrää edelleen livenä vaikka alkuvuodesta tilanne näytti aika huonolta. Onkos Vekkulilla ollut mitään yhteyksiä Bayleyn tai Wolfsbanen suuntaan tänä vuonna, mahdollisien Suomen keikkojen suhteen?

Blaze Bayley Live at Bannermans
December 13, 2011

I’ve been fucking bored of heavy metal these days. I couldn’t even remember what I liked about it. Nothing could pull me out of this depression. Not Manowar’s first Glasgow date in 200 years, not a Priest-Maiden live one-two punch to my ear scrotum, not Joe Elliot performing Animal right at me personally. Shut up, he did. No, the thing that finally restored my faith in the mystical properties of denim & leather was a bald man in his late forties thrusting his beer gut enthusiastically into a half-filled cellar of sweat & beards.

It is a little known fact but Blaze Bayley is the first entity ever to survive solely on a diet of crowd participation. The reason the man takes to the stage every night like his life depends on it, and I have it on very good authority that he does play 365 gigs a year, is that he needs to. He requires a daily dose or he would turn to dust. When there’s no backstage area, it’s hard to make a proper rock star entrance but that couldn’t stop Blaze’s triumphant arrival through a sparse crowd to the opening strains of The Brave. Much talk has been made of the recent line-up changes but no complaints could be lain at the feet of the new guys featuring a young Glenn Benton who’s enthusiastic style gave the impression that he might want to murder the drum kit rather than play it. No, they were tighter than a Dave Vincent PVC number.

Blaze’s inspirational series of lectures on the subject of defiance & rebellion punctuated a set of 15 song about defiance & rebellion. There was also a cautionary tale of Bluetooth bringing about the downfall of man so watch out for that one, kids. Drawing songs from his 5 solo albums, Blaze is not a man to rely on nostalgia. That said, he’s well aware of what his audience are after & 6 Maiden songs leave all but the most die hard of Virtual XI fans sated. Whilst Futureal & Man On The Edge bring the unanimity of the whole audience, it is impressive to see how well the solo material goes down. This is due to the simple yet brilliant choruses of tracks like Kill & Destroy, Ghost In The Machine & of course, the pre-requisite woahohoahs that Maiden have sadly moved on from.

The crowd allows for no break before the encore & the band are back in action seconds later with the outstanding Blood & Belief. Closing with my favourite version of Infinite Dreams, The Clansman never fails to go down well north of the border. It is with a renewed vigour that you leave a Blaze gig, ready to give two fingers to the naysayers, defeatists & critics. I never thought we’d have to do this again but it’s time to dust off the 100 Grimmetts. Clichés be damned, Blaze Bayley is the spirit of heavy metal embodied. Gig of the fucking year.

[Vekkuli]

Hienoa lukea, että Blaze määrää edelleen livenä vaikka alkuvuodesta tilanne näytti aika huonolta. Onkos Vekkulilla ollut mitään yhteyksiä Bayleyn tai Wolfsbanen suuntaan tänä vuonna, mahdollisien Suomen keikkojen suhteen? Huhtikuussa kyselin viimeksi ja silloin ei ollut mitään suunnitteilla, onkohan tilanne tuosta yhtään muuttunut?

Blaze oli Muskelrockissa kysellyt Thomakselta keikkoja Suomeen. Ei ole tällä hetkellä suunnitteilla, tarkoittaen että ennen syksyä ei ainakaan meidän kauttamme tule. Helvation kakkosesta tuli törkeestä duunimäärästä huolimatta takkiin ja levymyynnitkin on nykyään mitä on, joten meillä itsellämme on nyt vähän paletti auki että mihin halutaan edetä. Tässä toimitaan kuitenkin sen verran penneillä, että ei meillä ole varaa ottaa keikoista takkiin. Lisäksi vaikuttaa ensi sijaisesti omat mieltymyksemme, järkkäämme vain yhtyeitä joiden takana seisomme täysillä. Jos Blaze Bayley Band olisi yhä olemassa emme varmaan empisi hetkeäkään. Nyt tilanne on auki.

Ja muistutetaanpa siitä perushommasta, että ainahan joku voi itse järkätä jos jonkun bändin Suomeen tahtoo. Kun on omat säästöt pelissä niin asioihin suhtautuu vähän toisella tapaa kuin parin kympin keikkalippuun Tosiasia kuitenkin on, että me tarkastelemme asioita kokonaisuutena, koska pakko on. Ja meidän tapauksessamme se tarkoittaa, että jokaikinen keikka/tapahtuma/levy vaikuttaa siihen mitä tulevaisuudessa tapahtuu. Jos menee hyvin niin on varaa riskeihin ja kulttuuritöihin. Jos tulee takkiin niin se vaikuttaa heti tulevaisuuteen.

[scorpions]

^Kiitokset Vekkulille vastauksesta. Sen verran vielä kysyisin, että odotteletteko mahd. keikkaan liittyen ensin uuden albumin ulostumista ja sen tason tsekkausta? ...siis noiden rahakeissien lisäksi.

Toivotaan peukut pystyssä, että Vekkuli ja kumppanit tai joku muu jolla on rahkeita ja resursseja Bleissi keikan järjestämiseen tarttuu aisaan jossain välissä

[Vekkuli]

No kai sillä nyt jotain väliä on, että onko tuo lätty hyvä Tai ainakin sillä on jos se ei ole, heh.

[scorpions]

^Mitees jos maaliskuussa ulostuva albumi olisi kovaa tavaraa, niin voiko teidän puolelta odottaa mahdollista Bleissi keikkaa vuoden 2012 puolella?

Blaze Bayley Interview January 26, 2012


Blaze Bayley, proud owner of the only Elvis sideburns in metal, is back with a new album, to be released very soon, and our very own Jon Burkan gave him a call to see how things are going.

As you probably remember, Blaze was Bruce Dickinson’s replacement in Iron Maiden, releasing two albums with them, “The X Factor” and “Virtual XI”, both of which are considered, by some critics, as some of Iron Maiden‘s weakest releases.

After his departure, however, Blaze didn’t simply retire. He has been producing a lot of material, starting with “Silicon Messiah” in 2000, and then with “The Tenth Dimension” (2002), “Blood and Belief” (2004 ), “The Man Who Would Not Die” (2008) and “Promise and terror” (2010), as well as two live albums, “As Live as it Gets” (2003) and “The Night that will Not Die” in 2009. Although his solo work has been very well received by critics, Blaze Bayley has failed to achieve the popularity that (in my opinion) he deserves.

So; what can he tell us about his upcoming album? What about his departure from Iron Maiden? Well, just read on and find out! (audio at the bottom)

Metal Blast: Hey Blaze, how are you today?
Blaze: Pretty good; right now I’m in the studio, we’re recording the drums for my new album, “The King of Metal”.

MB: How are things going in the studio so far?
B: Good, it’s quite quick this lad; I’ve been working with him for a couple of years live, but we hadn’t had the chance to record anything, so this first time in the studio with me he’s doing a really good job. The best thing is that he has a a great groove when he plays, which we really want to capture.

MB: That sounds really great. Now, how do you think “The King of Metal” is going to be any different from your last album?
B: Well, this album is a bit more back towards my classic metal style; it’s closer to the Silicon Messiah and Tenth Dimension albums. Although I didn’t plan it that way, this is how it has worked out. So far it sounds really good, the songs have really come together and even though it’ll still be a couple of weeks until we get to the vocals, I’m really excited about it. All the demos that we’ve done, as well as the rehearsals, have been very positive.

MB: What has been your favorite moment while creating this album?
B: I had an idea to do a tribute song for Ronnie James Dio, and when that actually came together, when I heard the drums play for the first time that was really a very special moment. Dio was my inspiration to start singing, so I’m hoping that the song turns out well and that the fans enjoy it.

MB: It was a very sad time when Dio passed away, and he’s still fondly remembered. People are always making tributes and keeping his memory alive. Now, regarding this album, who’s mainly in charge of writing the lyrics and music for “King of Metal”?
B: Well, it’s my album so I’ve written all the lyrics and quite a bit of the music. I’ve been working very closely with a young guitar player called Thomas Zwijsen, who has co-written most of the songs, and it has worked very well.
Now, the title track, “The King of Metal”, is dedicated to the fans, because they are the real Kings of Metal. Without the fans there’s no heavy metal, and I think that people trivialize that and even disrespect heavy metal fans, compared to fans of pop or jazz. I’ve called the album “The King of Metal” as a tribute to heavy metal fans, thanks to whom it has been possible for me to have such a wonderful career and spend my life as a professional singer.

MB: That’s a very interesting take, since you’d think that the name refers to you, Blaze Bayley, as “The King of Metal”. Do you think that, at least in part, that assumption might be correct, due to how long you’ve been in the game and the work that you’ve done?
B: Well, I couldn’t possibly say that. Ozzy is the godfather of metal, Dio is a metal God… so it’s up to other people to decide who is the King of Metal. For me, the King of Metal is the fan who comes to my concert, buys my CD, buys my t-shirt and shouts and screams along with me while I’m playing my songs. That’s the King of Metal for me.

MB: That definitely makes sense, since a live setting and a wild audience can make a lot of difference. On your website you list musicians for your European tour, like live or session musicians. Do you plan to continue with this method, or do you think that you’ll settle with a stable line-up anytime soon?
B: The strain of trying to keep a full-time band together when there are no gigs is just too much. You’ve got no money coming in, but you still have to pay everybody’s wages, it made me ill. What I’m doing now is finding the people that I’d like to write and work with, and I get them together to record the album and then take them on tour. I’m very lucky with this album, since I have a great bunch of guys, and we’re very excited about this tour. I think that this is the way I’m going to carry on. When I go to the USA I can’t afford to bring a whole band, so I work with some guys over there who are really good, and the same in Australia.

MB: Speaking of the touring, the strains and being a solo act, after you released your statement regarding the break-up of the band, your former band-mates issued a very damaging statement regarding why you dissolved the band. Is there anything you’d like to say about that?
B: Well, they’ve got every right to be upset and disappointed. I was absolutely heart-broken by not being able to keep the band together, but that was it. I had to make a difficult decision, it really hurt me, and I just try to carry on. I can’t say anything bad about them, they all worked very hard and gave their best to the project and tried to make the band a success; but in the end it’s just too difficult to keep a band together if you play this kind of music.
I only sell a few thousand CDs each time. If I sold a few hundred thousand I would still have the band together, but I don’t, and I not many people do. This is heavy metal, it’s not popular music, it’s an underground cult kind of music. There are a few heavy metal festivals around the world, but there aren’t many more heavy metal bands that can be full time musicians who can make a living out of this; hardly anybody that I know of. This is just the reality of it; if you’re not on tour, you’re not making any money, you’re not selling CDs, you can’t keep a band together. That’s how it is, really hard and tough, and it’s not easy for anybody.
I’ve been able to, you know, start to live my life in a different way and be more positive, and a lot of the lyrics in the new album, “King of Metal”, are about that, about trying to be positive and overcoming the difficulties in your own life.

MB: Yes, it’s always best to be able to speak from your heart and to have the music revolve around the things that go on in your life. How do you think that the fans might react to a record as personal as this?
B: Well, my fans are used to personal music and lyrics from me. I do songs from different stories and characters that inspire me, but I also write a lot of personal lyrics. On this album there’s a song about Dimebag Darrel, about his horrific murder, and the rest of the lyrics are about trying to make your way through life trying to make the best you can with what you’ve got, and not letting the rest telling you that you can’t do something. I come from a poor family, living in a mobile home with no proper water or sanitation. I come from nothing, and I got to the top of the world in my professions, writing and performing with the most important heavy metal band in the world. And also, I’ve fallen down, I’ve made bad choices and I’ve failed many times. Now, with the King of Metal album, I’m trying to come back. I’m trying to make the best work I’ve ever done and do the best live shows I’ve ever done.

MB: Well, you’ve clearly had a lot of obstacles to overcome. Do you think that it was a big obstacle to show yourself as more than “the guy who used to sing for Iron Maiden”.
B: Well, there’s only three people who’s been the “ex singer” of Iron Maiden, and one of them went back. I’m really proud that we made with Iron Maiden, of the albums and the music that we made. It obviously was a huge part of my life and I learned a lot. But now, when I’m touring Europe, I have a lot of fans that say that “I don’t care if I don’t hear you play Iron Maiden songs, there are so many of your songs that I like that it really doesn’t bother me”. So, nowadays, if I go to a country that I haven’t toured properly before, and they’re not so familiar with my own material, I do more Iron maiden songs. But mostly, in the rest of Europe, I do less Iron Maiden songs and more of my own.

MB: It’s very good to be able to show your own work and show that Blaze Bayley is still out there, putting out albums and go on the stage. Now, I’m sorry to ask about Iron Maiden one more time, but there was never any clarity as to what exactly lead to your departure from the band.
B: Everybody was reforming back then, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Deep Purple… everybody was having a reunion and Iron Maiden did the same. They said “Bruce is coming back and you’re going”. It absolutely killed me. I loved being in Iron maiden, and I loved singing the music and being on tour, writing with Steve Harris was absolutely fantastic. I already had songs that I wanted to work on for another album, but that was it they just kicked me out and I had to do my own thing.

MB: So you think that it was mostly a commercial decision, rather than having anything to do with your talent or style?
B: I think it was more business than music.

MB: Since this was so hard to take, do you still use that as source for your drive to go on and create heavy metal that you’re proud of?
B: Well, I do it because I don’t have a choice. I don’t feel I have to prove anything to anybody. I’ve done incredible things in my career and I do it because I want to, because there’s something inside of me that drives me forward, I don’t know what that is. I love to sing and I love this music, and whenever I can write my own songs and sing them to fans that appreciate them is a great day for me.

MB: You definitely have the heavy metal community to lean on, because we’re a very loyal bunch and we don’t take things like this very lightly!
Now, you’ve been in this game for a long time; how long do you think you want to continue doing it?
B: As long as there’s heavy metal and I can sing, then I’ll be writing and recording and touring. Heavy Metal is pretty old now, it goes in and out of fashion but it never really dies, so I’m hoping it’ll be the same for me. Dio was my great inspiration. He died, he didn’t give up, he didn’t stop touring. He got sick and died, which is a great tragedy, but he didn’t stop and he never showed any signs that he was going to stop. People like him, like David Coverdale, are still singing so I don’t think there’s any reason to stop, as long as you have your health.

MB: With “The King Of Metal” coming out soon, are you planning to do a lot of touring in support of the album?
B: If you go to my website there’s a list of the tour dates that I’m doing. I’ll be doing 50 shows to promote the album, up until June, and then I’m hoping to do some festivals in the summer; then, I’m going to Australia in November.

JB: When exactly is the album coming out?
B: It’ll be available from my website from the 8th of March. I’ll bring copies of the album with me when I’m on tour, everywhere I go. Then, the official release, so you can get it in stores or online, will be on the 20th of May, but if you come to one of my concerts you’ll be able to get the album.
Now, on the official release date, the 20th of May, I’ll be playing a free gig near my home, a big bash, to celebrate the release of the album.

MB: That sounds really good. A free Blaze Bayley concert! People are definitely not going to let that one pass. Now, “The Tenth Dimension” is one of my favorite albums, I thought that it had a wonderfully aggressive feel to it, with a quite a bit of old school roots. Because of this, I’d love to see you here In the US soon.
B: Well, I’m planning to go there and play in the US in September of next year. I’m just waiting for some things to be confirmed.

MB: Well, my birthday is in September, so if you can swing by Columbus, Ohio, around the 23rd of September, that would be great!
B: We’ll do our best.

MB: I really appreciate you taking the time out of your busy schedule, now in the studio, to do this interview with us, here at Metal Blast.
B: You’re welcome. Please, check out my website and my facebook page.
I’d like to give a big “thank you” to all the fans that I’ve met in my last tour. Thank you very much for your support and your encouragement and for making it possible for me to be a professional singer.

DOM menee nurin joten Helsingin keikkapaikkatilanne huononee taas entisestään.

Mistäs moinen info, jos näin on niin eipä tullut käytyä kertaakaan DOMssa (vaikka tuskin oli eroa Dantesiin).

[Jussi K]

^ paitsi että alakerrasta sai eräitä laatuoluita (kun se oli auki, ilmeisesti ei arkikeikoilla kuten Constantine ..todistettavasti, kusimuki kourassa häätyi olla). S-mafian hyvä puoli! Aijai kun Oulun Oluthuone Leskisen valikoiman saisi Teatrialle sorry OT.

[Vekkuli]

"suoraa hallilta", ja tällä kertaa siis tilalle tulee joku teinimesta.

Oli Dantesissa ja DOM:ssa paljonkin eroja lopulta (ottaen huomioon että sama paikka ja omistaja), ja valitettavasti ainakin minusta erot olivat järjestään menneet huonompaan suuntaan. Asiakkaan kannalta siis, keikkajärkkärin kannalta molempien kanssa hommat toimi täydellisesti ja ammattimaisesti. Mä en tuon paikan talousluvuista tiedä, mutta mun nähdäkseni asiakkaan kannalta Dantesin konsepti olisi voinut toimia ja DOM:n konsepti oli rokkikeikkapaikaksi huono. Käsittääkseni paikan pyörittäjät olivat vähän samalla kannalla, mutta ylempää konsernista tuli määräykset ja siellä ei oikein keikkapaikkojen pyörittämisestä tajuttu. Mutta nämä ovat tosiaan vain yhden ihmisen mutu-mielipiteitä, tietämättä kirjanpitoa on hankala mitään järkevää pohtia.

Se nyt tosiaan kuitenkin on, että paikan poistuminen huonontaa aika hitosti pääkaupunkiseudun livetarjontaa. Mutta eipä se täällä kosketa kuin harvoja, kun on noista harvinaisemmista ja pienemmistä bändeistä pois

[IndianaJones]

^ Pakkohan tässä on pikkuhiljaa itse kunkin ruveta "harvinaisemmista" bändeistä kiinnostumaan jahka nämä jäähallitason bändit lopettavat keikkailun kokonaan. Vieläkin harmittaa kun ei tullut lähdettyä ekalle Helvationille muka-aikataulullisista syistä (no okei, sitä enemmän harmittaa mitä enemmän noihin bändeihin on tutustunut, vähän oli hataralla pohjalla tuolloin ). Eiköhän tulevaisuudessa ole pakko tuollaisten pienempien paikkojen määrää kasvattaa, sillä en henkilökohtaisesti usko että ihan heti nousee heavy-puolelta ainakaan mitään isompia nimiä Maideneiden ja Priestien tilalle. Ei taida uskaltaa levy-yhtiöt lähteä panostamaan siihen malliin enää nykyään mihinkään muuhun kuin varmaan tuotteistettuun artistiin, että saataisiin uusia ns. koko kansan suosikkeja. No, pienemmät keikathan niitä parhaita ovat, kunhan nyt vaan ajan kanssa saisi porukan mielenkiinnon kohdistettua sinne ravintoketjun alapäähän. Tai voihan tämäkin olla turhan optimistinen näkökanta, ehkä porukka ei ole tarpeeksi kiinnostunut musasta jotta noita pienempiä keikkoja saataisiin loppuunmyytyä.

DOM Helsinki uusiutuu: Disco lanaa metallin alleen


DOM Helsinki Discotheque avaa ovensa perjantaina 24.2.2012 Fredrikinkatu 42:ssa sijaitsevissa hulppeissa tiloissa. Rokkikansaa viihdyttänyt DOM Helsinki Rock Klubi on avoinna viimeistä päivää lauantaina 11.2.2012.

DOM:n liikeidea ja soittolista uusiutuu täysin. DJ:t iskevät levylautaselle kuumimmat diskohitit 80- ja 90-luvuilta, tämän päivän helmiä unohtamatta. DJ kopissa tullaan näkemään tunnettuja vierailijoita ja myös discohenkisiä esiintyjiä nousee tulevaisuudessa DOM:n estradille.

Kysynpä nyt vaan että mistä tuo Aurora tulee? Robothan se on!

Ei muuten rumpalilla luonnistu tuplabasarit ihan niin kuin edellisellä kaverilla...

EDIT: Eihän sillä ole tuplia ollenkaan! En seurannut tarpeeksi sillä pidin sitä itsestäänselvyytenä. Mutta oikeasti, Blaze Bayleyn bändissä ei ole tuplabasareita?! Melkoinen suunnanmuutos... MIKSI?

Ehkäpä rumpali valinnut mielummin tuplapedaalin, esim roudaussyistä? Ja luultavasti järkkärit ovat Venäjällä hommanneet backlinen (rummut, vahvarit, PA ym) keikalle, eivätkä saaneet tuplabasarisettiä? Blazekin tekee välillä aika niukan budjetin keikkoja ties millä Fiat 100A:lla, joten vähemmän on siinä vaiheessa enemmän.

Täytyypä kuunnella toi klippi kotona kun ehtii. Eipä kyllä se edellinenkään rumpali niitä Robotin tuplia soittanut. Mä väitän että studiossa on tehty taikoja. Perustan väitteeni nähtyäni Blazen livenä, ja se rumpali nyt ei kaiken kaikkiaan ollut mikään KUMMOINEN halkomies. Noi levyllä olevat basarit ovat ihan vitun nopeat, ja niitä ei pysty soittamaan moni parempikaan jätkä.

Kyllä tuolla edellisen kokoonpanon livetallenteella (The Night That Will Not Die) Robotin tuplat tuli ihan yhtä hyvin kuin studiossa. Ei sillä, etteikö niitäkin ehkä studiossa olisi muokattu.

Basareiden kvantisoiminen on todella helppoa livelevyltäkin. Noin 2.30 kohdassa kun vertaa ääntä kuvaan, mielestäni jalat eivät liiku samaan tahtiin kuultavien basarien tahdissa. Toki voi olla että soittaa nilkoilla, ja silloinhan jalka ei liiku niin paljoa. Uskon silti että ne basarit on fixattu jälkikäteen niin levyllä kuin livenäkin.

EDIT:
Ja tämä videohan sen todistikin. Ei tule enää samat basarit tässä Tampereen live pätkässä. Olin tuolla keikalla itsekin, ja muistelin että olin pettynyt kun äijä ei pystynytkään vetämään niitä basareita livenä.
