Thu 21 Aug – Thrice, We Are The Ocean, Twin Atlantic

I enjoyed this gig thoroughly.

Starting with Twin Atlantic, they were ok. Some interesting moments but pretty by numbers and not much inspiring here. I did like that the singer seemed to keep his Glaswegian accent whilst singing. Where I think they did slip up quite largely, was by having one of the guitarists constantly playing while the frontman addressed the crowd. I personally could barely hear a word he said! I think he said something like "Are you having a good time?" near the start of the set to which he got very little response (presumably because noone had heard what he said!) and he proceeded to call us all assholes or something like that for not responding to something I, for one, hadn't heard! Can't say I was too impressed with that move and I don't think it won him any love or new fans. He did apologise later though. I think that a band that is insulting to people who are, or are to become their fans is ungrateful and foolish when their fanbase is as small as it is.
However, musically, they're talented enough, sounding a little like a more Indie and less interesting Coheed and Cambria or Circa Survive. Quite listen to-able, and perforemed with energy and talent, but quite forgettable.

Year Long Disaster were BRILLIANT! I can see why people think they're an odd choice, being a sort of hard rock, late 70s influenced blues/rock band similar in spirit to Down or Black Stone Cherry - but they do rock hard! Thrice have been showcasing more of their bluesier stuff on the Earth volume, and can do heavy yet intricate music as Illusion and Artist have shown. YLD are undeniably talented musicians, much like Thrice. Technically they were great. Being only a 3-piece, it was easy to hear exactly what each instrument was doing and each instrument was very well played. I suspect the drummer has had some jazz training. The lead singer was appropriately rock and roll, channelling a little bit of Marc Bolan swagger into his performance. I've never heard these guys before but found it impossible to stand still to their music. Very raunchy rock music. Not like Thrice at all but it did make for a more rounded gig experience. And as someone else has commented, I'd rather have that than 2 support acts that are just lesser versions of the main act. It gets quite wearing.

Thrice were very good and did a great gig but I will say they seemed less energetic than I expected. I saw them once before about 3 years ago (I think... it was sometime between The Artist in the Ambulance and Vheissu but they weren't showcasing any Vheissu tracks) in a smaller venue, and they had more energy and seemed much more lively, as they do on most of their older gig videos. Maybe they've just grown up a bit and mellowed with it, as has their music.
Musically they were spot on and it was very interesting seeing how they recreated a lot of the electronic bits of the Alchemy Index on tracks like Digital Sea and The Whaler.

My main gripe - I woulda liked more of the stuff from Illusion Of Safety and Artist and possibly even a track from Identity Crisis. They only played Deadbolt from my favourite album, Illusion and just 3 from Artist (not including Dustin Kensrue'ssolo Stare at the Sun because I don't think that was planned in the setlist) and I personally think Bloodclots and Black Holes, Don't Tell and We Won't Ask, and Cold Cash and Colder Hearts are better tracks from that album than the ones they chose and would have been better here. I may be in a minority of favouring those albums, but I think Thrice could've done a better job of spanning their career. All that said, I was very happy with what they did play, including a few surprises like Red Sky and The Earth Isn't Humming. The crowd were definitely with them and they did an admirable show. Dustin's solo version of Stare at the Sun was a real lighters in the air moment as everyone sung along with him and it was great that the Dustin and band didn't let the technical hitch didn't interrupt the evening's entertainment.

First things first. This journal is -!!!NOT!!!- an insult to MCR or any of the other bands mentioned in here. It's a bit of an insult to The Daily Mail, but, overall, it's an insult to the silly little idiots who go around saying that a band can save their life.

Some of you may be aware of the relatively recent issue spawned from the music biz. Reporters in music magazines in England, such as Kerrang!, have reported a story in the dreadful right-wing newspaper, The Daily Mail. This story was entitled "Why no child is safe from the sinister cult of emo", which is quite self-explanatory as a title, and went on to blame "emo" bands "such as" My Chemical Romance, AFI and Hawthorne Heights for incidents ranging from mild depression, through self-harm and all the way to suicide.

This rightfully provoked many fans of the bands and the genre. Some explained in depth to their parents exactly why the article was wrong. Others were surrounded by yet more probably unwarranted despair by their family. Over 200 protested against the Daily Mail, in London, many carrying banners proclaiming "MCR SAVED OUR LIVES", and when interviewed many referred to MCR's lyrics, e.g. Famous Last Words' first line in the chorus: "I am not afraid to keep on living".

Since then I have been surrounded by people who, too, feel that My Chemical Romance, in some way or another, "saved their lives".

I am here to disprove this modern "phenomena".

See, while it's all well and good that the morons who write and read The Daily Mail are wrong and, as usual, misinformed, we're forgetting to deal with the other side, when the side in the right suddenly become the side in the wrong.

A person of any age may be liable to become depressed or suicidal for whatever reason. Some may be momentarily assuaged by lyrics they here, but none, I repeat, NONE, could ever make an ounce of difference to anyone's life unless someone happens to have written either a song that tells them their mother's cured of cancer, or somehow makes their dad not drink, or is somehow formulated sonically to cause a permanant, steady release of dopamine in the brain.

Even if lyrics could do that, for a start, MCR's would not. Many little fans (mostly around the ages of 12 to 14) are taking their lyrics and doing a wonderful little thing I like to call "positive selection". In this case, it's a fallacy. Take a look.

Let's use Famous Last Words first, here's the chorus:

I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey, if you stay, I’ll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home

Sounds quite hopeful, no? But then, let's take the lines before that:

So many
Bright lights been cast a shadow
But can I speak?
Well is it hard understanding
I’m incomplete
A life that’s so demanding
I get so weak
And all their souls are burning
I can’t speak

Hey! not only are these lyrics filled with despair, not one of the couplets fit together! It's a good old skill utilized by not only MCR but many other popular bands, such as Fall Out Boy as a major example. That's the thing. Even if lyrics could somehow heal, it would be impossible for MCR's to. If you look at it, really, MCR's lyrics would be the antithesis of this idea in most circumstances. Take Vampires Will Never Hurt You:

Can you take this spike?
Will it fill our hearts with thoughts of endless night time sky?
Can you take this spike?
Will it wash away this jet black feeling?

So, if these lyrics are coupled together to suggest anything surely it's somewhat suggesting that killing yourself is a way of ridding yourself of "black feelings"? I'm not saying it is, of course.

That chorus alone is a pretty good generalization of almost all of MCR's lyrics. I'm not saying they're good, or they're bad, but, hell, they're not positive.

There. MCR did not save your life, no matter how much you lead yourself to believe it. And, to end this journal, I'm going to include a wonderfully contrived statement from Gerard Way, also known as MCR's lead singer.

If we never play a show again, please, keep yourselves alive.

Sweden Rock 2008
Masters of Rock 2008
Bloodstock Open air 2008

Well to keep things short and sweet, I'll just give the short version of how good the festivals were this year. For stories about not sleeping, drinking in the wee hours with Swedes, Jagermeister at 3am, accidentally climbing into other people's sleeping bags, waking up at 1pm not knowing where I am, Muskrats, girls with detachable legs, sunny beaches, pinching cigarettes, cheap beer, expensive beer, new friends, smelly toilets, clean toilets, pirates, ghost pirates, more drunkness, americans, (absent) canadians, brazilians, czechs, danes, swedes, norwegians, finns, poles, israelis, far too many scots, brits, and so many other stories but most importantly Slivovice for All, you'll hafta collar me either in person or over here, cause I'll only barely touch on the subjects here.

Sweden Rock, not my favourite year of the festival but still a good one, was great meeting new people (especially the scottish crew) and generally speaking being up to no good. Prices were a bit high thanks to the bad exchange rate. Highlights were a great set from locals All Ends and a surprisingly immense set by Judas Priest. Also very much enjoyed Korpiklaani, Airbourne, Sabaton, Fourever, Def Leppard, Saxon, ムック, Primal Fear, Coheed and Cambria, At the Gates, Gotthard, Primordial, Ratt, and lots of others (I can't remember them all right now! :) ). I've already spoken highly of this festival, its the place you should go if you like a wide variety of music.

Masters of Rock was a first for me, its in a rather obscure part of the Czech Republic that might be a bit daunting to visit for the first time. It is however a very nice country, even if the locals do not speak much or any english. The festival itself is brilliant, cheap prices and great bands, all on a distillery! Big band of the festival for me was Amon Amarth, who's superb set brought down the thunder gods. Literally. Leading the pack elsewhere in the festival were Gotthard, Korpiklaani and Moonspell, with good performances from Sirenia, Def Leppard, Fourever, Alestorm, Annihilator, Haggard, Brainstorm, Bloodbound, Within Temptation and Die Apocalypstichen Reiter. Don't know if I'll go next year but if the line up is there for you, I can't recommend it enough!

Bloodstock this year really came home. Although the prices of everything were a lot higher and the bar did not sell vegetarian beer, everything felt like it was a bigger, better and fuller festival. A superb unsigned stage offered such gems as Hospital of Death, Sorcerer's Spell, Keltic Jihad and even legends The Berzerker, with the Lava Stage hosting an early (first?) live performance from Liquid Sky with their new singer. No doubt in my mind that the band of the festival was Iced Earth, much to my surprise, nailing a set mostly taken from Dark Saga and Something Wicked... basically, you play the Coming Curse live, and I'll love you for it. Other greats were Destruction, Swallow the Sun, Eluveitie, Primal Fear, Napalm Death, Moonsorrow, Dimmu Borgir, Alestorm, Kataklysm, Overkill, At the Gates and, of course, Nightwish.

The festivals have left me struggling for cash as usual this year, but it has been worth every penny. Its sad that its all over now but that just means that gig season is starting! Hope to see you at a gig soon!

Welcome Home

I discovered Coheed and Cambria while playing their tracks on Rockband and from the moment I heard them, I knew I had to hear more from these guys ! With a progressive metal sound ranging from Rush meets Metallica meets Pink Floyd, you would guess that their sound would pretty much like Dream Theater, but no ! I don't know why but there's also something quite reggae in the style reminiscent of The Police. Enough to say that they are one of the most original band I've heard in a while.

Not only they do "concept albums" but they are a "concept band" as all their songs are inspired by a storyline and comic book adaptation from guitarist and singer Claudio Sanchez. Welcome Home, Ten Speed (Of God's Blood & Burial) and A Favor House Atlantic are great tracks to listen to, but I can't but put on a smile when I see a song title like 2113 knowing that even if they try to deny their Rush influence, they can't really !

Personal picks:
Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume One: From Fear Through The Eyes of Madness; No World For Tomorrow; In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3
