The Stereotypes Song

I just came across this weird video from Ray William Johnson who if you don"t know is like a famous youtube video guy anyway while it isn't really that funny but he definitely put a lot of effort into it so I reckon you should have a look at it:

Ratt Rocks

I love Ratt. I started loving them ever since I played the game brutal legend which is you haven't played it you should cause it's awesome.

Anyways here's a couple of goodies from one of my favourite 80's bands Ratt:

Vanishing Point Rocks in Melbourne!!!

If you haven't heard of Vanishing Point then you were like I was about a week ago until I started looking up power metal bands that I could go see in Melbourne and what do you know I found a couple of beauties by finding this Database of Melbourne Power Metal Bands.

Now one of the bands i really liked was called Vanishing Power and this is their track "Surrender" which is just awesome. I can't wait to see these guys in person.

Fotopic.net has gone down and nobody seems to know what's going on

Hey everyone.

A mate of mine had a site about pictures of cop cars and ambulances hosted on fotopic.net and about a week ago he told me that it had gone down so I had a look and it's seems the whole fotopic.net site is down. I have tried to find out what it happening with it but there is no news and though the site is down I don't know who registered the domain so I wonder if it will go on sale.

Does anyone know anything about what's happening to fotopic.net?

Power Metal and why you should be listening to it?

For those of you who don't know I love power metal. Now if you wondering what power metal is then it is music like this from the band Firewind:

Now power metal  and epic metal is very different from your standard metals now while there are a lot of different types of metal with things like thrash (which is really fast) to heavy metal (stuff from the 70s like ozzy osbourne's band) to a whole other bunch of metals but power metal stands in contrast to these because power metal well pumps you up because it is fast (well the european stuff is) but has a good melody (which in my opinion thrash doesn't).

Now for me personally, the difference is the effect the power metal has on me. I used to listen to bands like linken park, garbage, rammstein, metallica and a whole whose of other bands like that which was mostly in the alternative category(apart from metallica) but i don't really listen to them anymore because i honestly don't feel like it because i have noticed that i only seem to listen to this music when i feel down (which isn't often) but the music you listen to actually shows how your current mental state. In fact i find that apart from power metal and epic metal most modern age music always has a negative connotation behind it and since i hate negative and love to be positive power metal is for me.

Now if you liked the power metal song above from Firewind (A greek power metal band) then you might like some of these two:

Now this is a power ballad but this is one of the most powerful power ballads I have come across and just to show why i love power metal and that's because it's not only positive but can be good for those who have just lost someone close to them:

The next band is Freedom Call and they are pretty cool. I just started listening to them a couple of days and I love their music as it's epic action music. It's so awesome. Check this out:

Now for something a bit heavier but a band close to my heart. They are called Hammerfall and I have been listening to their music for a while and this one is a classic to get you pumped:

Now for a taste of some of the best power metal(well more epic metal) to come out of America. This is definitely a harder sound and vocals but the lyrics are some of the most powerful lyrics and this is definitely the stuff you play when your boxing or training cause it's so cool:

Now there are lots more bands in this genre of music but I think this is good to start of with. By the way if you live in Melbourne like I do then you can check out a local power metal band who are pretty cool called Black Majesty who play awesome tunes like this one:

Since you people have now been educated in the fine art of power metal it is now up to you to spread the word so go my brothers and sisters. GO!!!

Bloody Lonely Island at their best

I recently saw this video clip when I was watching one of the music channels (not MTV) on optus and it is absolutely hilarious, these guys are the guys who also sing the song "I just had sex" but this one is even funnier:

Winter's Verge Are Awesome!!!

I just found out about this band from my friend who seems to know a lot about bands in the genre of music that I have never heard off. This is Power Metal at it's best and they are a cypriate band and it's seems most of the best power metal bands apart from Manowar seem to come from europe. Enjoy this awesome track!
