I know it's a long shot,but anyone into them?

I thought its power metal

never heard of them

they are GODS!!

but as Plug_in_coldplaying said, they play power not rock.

 

have you seen them live rick???

Yeah i know they are power metal,but i edited for this board,which is not oriented towards metal..as soon as someone reads metal,they run for the hills.

LOL I totally agree with that :P

Have you seen them live, Rick?

Haha nah i havent had the chance yet...you?

Same. The last time they came, I was myself playing in another show and I couldn't cancel it. That made me freak out because they were my #1 favorite band at that time.

Favourite song?

My Selene. And Full Moon and The End of This Chapter. And Victoria's Secret...... ok I'll stop there XD

How about you?

Blank File,Replica,Kingdom for a heart,Don't say a word,Of Silence,Weballergy,False news Travel Fast,The End of this Chapter,Black Sheep,Land of the Free,Last Drop Falls,Sing in Silence,Wolf and Raven,In Black and White,Broken,Destruction Preventer.:D

You cheated, you named too much!!!!! :laugh4:

Sing In Silence is so good.

and Don't Say a Word too... such a powerful song. On their live DVD 'for The sake of Revenge', it's one of my favorite prestations on it (even if they're all kick-ass! (oh and except the part when he breaks his keytar... he should have sent it to me instead of breaking it :D))

Wolf and Raven was the first one I heard from them :P

 

Favorite album?

Ah that would be Silence.

 

 

Yours?

never heard of them but they seem good :)

Yeah Silence is very good ^^

But my heart belongs to Reckoning Night. :)

 

What do you think of Unia? and this new sounding?..

I like a few of that album,but haven't listened too it that much.

Yeah I like some songs too, but it's so different. I prefer the old sound.

 

btw. very horrible sound quality. the sound doesn't even fit the video. and this is pretty old.

but yeah I thought I'd share it anyways.

Ah,who is playing that?

Oh cool,what else do you play?

 

I've been meaning too buy a keyboard.

you mean what instrument or songs?

 

and well do it! it's so cool =)

I meant both.

well when it comes to songs, I can play songs from a lot of bands, but my fav definately are Coldplay, Coldplay, Coldplay, Nightwish, Coldplay, The Killers, Coldplay, Death Cab for Cutie and Coldplay :D But I can also play Paid in Full, Shy and Caleb of SA on the keyboard.

 

As to instruments, I can play the drums, the guitar, the bass and the keyboard. And I was the singer of my former band.

Amazing,and your only 17 right?

:D.Yep. And 'only' is a big word. It's when we're young that it's easy to learn stuff.

I just realised that I didn't know.. how old are you?
