well as I recon not too many of you are familiar with some of the music i listen to I thought I could present some of it here.

Starting off with a bang then with the all Norwegian Prog metal Band Pagans mind....... excellent shit if you ask me. Seen them live 3 or 4 times now and they rattle my spine every bloody time

Next up............ Deathpunk act TURBONEGRO............ (hell I even got a Turbojugend tattoo)

more in the hard rock/punk ally than pure metal, but oh my god they kick ass

I absolutely LOVE singers......... and one of the best ones in the world in my opinion is Jørn Lande or JORN as he calls himself. He does coverdale better than coverdale himself............ and I am a HUGE Coverdale fan saying this. he also uses parts of pagans mind as a backingband. He has been singing in bands like Masterplan and The Ark to mention a couple.. he also Toured with malmsteen

and now a Deep Purple cover....................... AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

here is one of his own songs

Heard some Turbonegro stuff before. Think you might have been brainwashing a good friend of mine somehow lol. But that guy doing the Whitesnake medley can really wail. Wouldn't mind paying hard earned money to see him live.

eh -heh............ saw him live last friday, we had a festival in Trondheim, Norway (my hometown)
Friday : Kamelot, Dimmu Borgir and JORN
Saturday: Europe, Whitesnake and Dokken

rumours say that JORN was originally set to play saturday, but Mr. Coverdale himself aske to play on a different day than Mr. Lande.......... and in fact that is a rumour I am likely to believe

oh. to rub some more salt in it............ in 2 Weeks I am going for a turbonegro gig....... invited by the band even

interesting stuff... i guess we are lucky being in the north hemisphere..... uk home of metal and rock, exported to Canada, to allow a certain trio to sort it out. Rush

We are spoilt compared to these ozzies...

I am from Birmingham, where shall I start

Oh yes,
Led Zeppelin
Black Sabbath
vast list

I guess they will throw in ACDC?

Ac/Dc is considered metal? Wow I'm a closet rivet rat and never realised it!

Some cool stuff there. Went through a bit of a Finnish metal stage for a while there; some amazing bands over that way.
