MY DYING BRIDE

Esta semana sólo he escuchado a My Dying Bride, grupo de doom metal. He ido cambiando de disco cada día, y cada vez me gustan más. Me voy a hacer un cd en mp3 con todos los discos, y a disfrutar. Y pensar que al principio no me gustaron...

"She is the dark
The nightmares you hide
The pain you feel
The suffering inside
Though she was like you
Through her dark past
But now, the conqueror
Her choirs vast
Oh, please forgive her
As mankind dies
As angels weep
And heaven cries"

She Is The Dark. Album: "The Light At The End Of The World" (1999)

ALGO POSITIVO

Siempre intento encontrar el algo positivo a las cosas, y aunque el estar "depre" no es fácil, algo positivo me ha pasado. Una de ellas es que he descubierto grupos que nunca me hubiese imaginado que escucharía.

Antes lo más fuerte que solía escuchar era Metallica, Megadeth, AC/DC, etc... Eso mezclado con Dire Straits, Eric Clapton y demás. Incluso suelo escuchar Paco de Lucía y Raimundo Amador. Lo más oscurillo, por decirlo de alguna manera, que escuchaba era King Diamond/Mercyful Fate. Llegó un momento que debido mi bajo estado de ánimo, me dió por probar otros tipos de música. Comenzé a buscar entre varios géneros de los más oscuros y agresivos. Doom, gothic, black, death, són algunos de estos géneros. De estos géneros destaco My Dying Bride(Gothic/Doom Metal), Hypocrisy(Death/Black Metal), Death(padres del Death Metal) y Dimmu Borgir(Black Metal). Esto es una muestra de esos grupos que he descubierto. Hay muchos más. Ahora, icluso las pocas veces que estoy un poco animado, me apetece escuchar estos grupos, y són de una grandísima calidad. Y no es que haya dejado de escuchar los otros grupos...

Bueno. Algo positivo he sacado.

VUELVE MARK KNOPFLER

Después de que tuviese que cancelar su anterior gira por un accidente de moto, Mark Knopfler volverá a Barcelona el 7 de abril de 2005, en el que dicen será su único concierto en España. Las entradas se pondrán a la venta el próximo 11 de noviembre.

A este concierto sí que pienso ir séa el día que séa (me parece que será jueves). Es mi músico favorito, y el único que consigue ponerme los pelos de punta cuando toca la guitarra. Supongo que las entradas serán caras, pero si hace como otras veces, que actúa entre 2 horas y media y 3 horas, merecerá la pena. El recinto será en el Palau Sant Jordi. Lástima. En la gira que canceló iva a tocar en Pabellón Olímpico de Badalona, el cual tengo a dos calles de donde vivo. Habrá que aguantarse.

EL PRINCIPIO DEL FIN

Gracias a 'METALICO' me he enterado de que un grupo a coseguido vencer a la 'P.U.T.A.S.G.A.E.' La verdad es que ya tocaba que peridieran alguna vez.

A ver si tomáis ejemplo 'jipiguarro'.

¿Será el principio del fin? Eso esperamos todos.

APOPTYGMA BERZERK

Estaba visitando la web de 'Nocturna Club' de Hospitalet de Llobregat. Tenía curiosidad por el tipo de música que ponían, cuando para mi sorpresa, descubro que uno de los grupos que ponen es 'Apoptygma Berzerk'.





Este grupo lo descubrí gracias al 'The Blackest Album'. Tributo industrial a 'Metallica'. En el volumen 1 hacen una versión de 'Nothing Else Matters', y en el 2º de 'Fade To Black'. Estas versiones me gustaron mucho, y a partir de aquí he intentado tenerlo todo. Incluso me compré el DVD en directo.

'Apoptugma Berzerk' puede recordar en algún momento a 'Depeche Mode', pero más techno. A mí me ha llegado a gustar incluso más que 'Chemical Bros'. Al menos estos cantan y tocan instrumentos, y no se dedican sólo a tocar botoncitos.

Temas como 'Non-stop Violence', 'Soultaker', o las mencionadas versiones de 'Metallica', demuestran la gran calidad de estos alemanes.

Es curioso que mi gran afición a 'Metallica' (al menos antes), me llevase a conocer a este gran grupo de techno.

Destacar también a 'Die Krupps', pero esa es otra historia.

NORTHER

He encontrado un disco del grupo de Melodic Death Metal NORTHER.

Lo curioso del caso es que en este disco hacen una versión del 'Final Countdown' de EUROPE.

La canción suena igual, pero con voz de Death Metal.

CYPRESS HILL / EMINEM

Otro tema de Cypress Hill que pertenece al disco 'Skull & Bones', y que cuenta con la colaboración de Eminem. También existe 'Rock Superstar', versión más metalera de ésta, cuya letra es la misma. Sólo cambia la palabra rap por rock, y algún párrafo.





Rap Superstar

[Eminem Speaking]
Most people don't see how much work is really involved
in this rap shit
I didn't know it
I didn't see it
I never saw it until i was actually in it
You really gotta be in it
To understand what its like
But you always gotta
People always gotta see your smile
You always gotta put on that fake
You know what i'm sayin
No matter what u just been through

[B-Real]
So you wanna be a rap superstar
And live large a big house
5 cars, you're in charge
Comin up in the world
Don't trust nobody
Gotta look over your shoulder constantly

[B-Real]
I remember the days when i was a young kid growin up
Lookin in the mirror dreamin about blowin up
To rock crowds make money
Chill wit the honies
Sign autographs and whatever the people want from me
Shits funny
How impossible cream manifest in the games that be comin with it
Never the less you gotta go for the gusto
But you don't know about the blood sweat and tears
and losin some of your peers
And losin some of your self
Music has past gone by
Hopefully you don't manifest for the wrong guy
Egomaniac in the brainiac
Don't know how to act
Shits deep
48 tracks
Studio gangsta mack
Sign a deal emcees wanna make a mill
But never will
Till he crosses over still
Feelin no hate
But fantasies come wit these
Just to sacrifice the taste of makin cheese
You wanna be a rap superstar in the biz
And take shit from people who don't know what it is
I wish it was all fun and games
But the price of fame is high
And some can't pay to play
Trapped in what you rappin about
Tell me what happened when you lost clout
The rout you took started collapsing
No fans
No fame
No respect
No change
No women
And everyone shits on your name

[Chorus]
So you wanna be a rap superstar
And live large
A big house
5 cars
The rent charged
Comin up in the world don't trust nobody
Gotta look over your shoulder constantly
To be a rap superstar
And live large
A big house
5 cars
The rent charged
Comin up in the world don't trust nobody
Gotta look over your shoulder constantly

[Noreaga Speaking]
When you sign to a record label
You don't know you sign your life over
And these whiteboys don't care about you
Cuz the minute you fall off
They'll find another Noreaga
And they'll find another Capone-n-Noreaga
And they'll find another B-Real
So you need to just keep
Stack your chips up
Do what you gotta do while your hot
And mafuckin get out the game
Stick to the drug game
And the drug game is even worse
Because if someone jerks you
You can shoot em and kill me
But in this game if someone jerks you
You gotta be humble

[Eminem Speaking]
No matter what you just been through
Shit has gotta be right
You gotta approach people
You gotta be on the up and up
And everything gotta be all good
When you see someone slap hands with em
You know what i'm sayin give em a pound
Or whatever it is
But you always gotta act like it ain't shit

[Chorus]

[B-Real]
My own son don't know me
Sittin up in the hotel room lonley
But I thank god I'm wit my homies
But sometimes I wish I was back home
But only no radio or videos
Cuz they show me no love
The phony gotta hit the road slowly
So the record gets pushed by sony
I'm in the middle like monie
And the press say that
My own people disowned me
And the best way back
Is to keep your head straight
Never inflate the cranium
Your crew worried about them honies at the paladium
Who just wanna cling on swing on
And so on and go on and fall off
The hoes fall off
To the next rap superstar
Wit no shame give him a year
And they'll be right out the game
The same as the last one
Who came before him
Gained fame
Started gettin ignored
I warned him
Assured him
This ain't easy take it from weezy
Sleezy people wanna be cheesey
They talkin evil

[Chorus]




Rock Superstar

[chorus:]
[B Real]
So you wanna be a rock superstar, and live large
a big house, 5 cars, you're in charge
comin' up in the world, don't trust no body
gotta look over your shoulder constantly

[B Real:]
I remember the days when I was a young kid growin up
looking in the mirror, dreamin about blowin up
the rock crowd, make money, chill with the honeys
sign autographs or whatever the people want from me
it's funny how impossible dreams manifest
and the games that be comin with it
nevertheless
you got to go for the gusto but you dont know
about the blood, sweat and tears
and losing some of your fears
and losing some of yourself to the years past,
gone by
hopefully it dont manifest
for the wrong guy
egomaniac and the brainiac
dont know how to act
48 tracks
studio gangster, mack,
sign the deal, thinks he's gonna make a mil
but never will til he crosses over
still filling your head with fantasies
come with me, show the sacrifice it takes to make the cheese

You wanna be a rock superstar in the biz
and take shit from people who dont know what it is
I wish it was all fun and games but the price of fame is high
and some cant pay the way
still trapped in what you rapping about
tell me what happened when you lost
the route you took started collapsing
no fans no fame no respect no change no women
and everybody shittin on your name

[chrous X2]

[Sen:]
you ever have big dreams of making real cream
big shot, heavy hitter on the main
and you wanna look shanty
in the Bentley, be a snob and never act friendly
you wanna have big fame, let me explain
what happends to these stars and their big brains
first they get played like all damn day
long as you sell everything will be ok
then you get dissed by the media and fans
things never stay the same way they began
I heard that some never give full to the fullest
that's while fools end up dining on the bullet
think everything's fine in the big time
see me in my Lex with chrome raised high
so you wanna roll far
and live large
it aint all that goes with bein a rock star

[chorus X2]

[B Real:]
my own son dont know me
I'm chillin in the hotel room lonely
but I thank God I'm with my homies
but sometimes I wish I was back home
but only no radio or video didnt show me
no love, the phony, gotta hit the road slowly
so the record gets pushed by Sony
I'm in the middle like mony
and the press say that my own people disown me
and the best way back
is to keep your head straight, never inflate the cranium
they're too worried about them honies at the Paladium (a venu in LA)
who just wanna cling on, swing on, and so on
go on, fall off, the ho's roll on
til the next rap superstar
with no shame
give em a year, he'll be right out the game
the same as the last one who came before him
gained fame, started gettin ignored, I warned him
assured him, this aint easy take it from Weezy
sleezy people wanna be so cheesy, the fuckin people [gun cock noise]

[whispered:] assassins, assassins

[chorus X2 ]

CYPRESS HILL

En principio, este es el tema que más me ha gustado del último disco de Cypress Hill 'Till Death Do Us Apart'.







What's Your Number?

Let's go

[B-Real]
I met her a club, her friend liked me but she didn't
She noticed a lot of girls giving up their phone digits
She didn't wanna be one of those hoes
In clothes exploiting her body from head to toes
She had glossy lips she was swaying her hips
On the dance floor and every nigga's flashing her grip
Trying to impress her in vain she gave no play
Niggaz hit her up for numbers and she said no way
I thought to myself let it go and roll on, B
But like Smokey said she really had a hold on me
I couldn't stop staring I started to fantasize with her
Voices in my head said she's tantalizing ya
Even if I moved to the other side of the party
I had pictures in my head of her moving that body
I was beside myself with hunger pain
So I slowly walked over and I asked her name

[Chorus: repeat 2X]
What's your name, what's your number?
I'd like to get to know you
Can we have a conversation?
The night is young, girl give me a chance!

[B-Real]
She gave a smile but I got no answer though
I took a while before she gave a chance she's acting cold
I offered her a drink she turned me down blat
She said if you want my name you gotta do better than that
I said OK, now your shit don't stink
I'ma walk away only tried to buy you a drink
As I began to walk away she said I'm sorry for real
But every guy in the club tried slipping me pills
I don't trust guys each and every one will lie to you
I said I understand but it's not what I try to do
I wasn't even gonna come to your table
But if I didn't I knew that I'd regret it later
I go after what I want but I got class
For me no need to slip a pill if I want ass
She gave me a funny look I couldn't tell what it meant
She let her guard down and on our conversation went

[Chorus]

[B-Real]
She said I want a man with a plan and ambition
Not an immature nigga on a "pussy-hit mission"
I'm too good for that I have so much to offer
Got a good job working at my mom and dad's law firm
You got goals, that's what she asked
Yeah I wanna fill my home with platinum plaques
It takes hard work but you know it's coming after
She said 'oh my God you must be a famous rapper!'
I do all right but I'm never satisfied
I'm told when you still love what you do it never gets old
I strive for more but that's enough about me
Why don't we skip out the club and take a walk on the street
We slipped out of the club with no worries
Seems she wanted to get out in a hurry
We hung all night till we lost our friends
Till they caught us bangin in the back of a Benz

[Chorus - 2X]

NIGHTWISH

Hacía tiempo que me rondaba por la cabeza el comprarme el último disco del grupo finlandés de SYMPHONIC METAL, Nightwish. Hoy por fín me lo he comprado (jejeje). Me está gustando bastante. El contraste que hay entre la voz de su cantante (foto) y la música contundente que hacen, es muy guapo.

2. Wish I Had An Angel
3. Nemo
4. Planet Hell
5. Creek Mary`s Blood
6. The Siren
7. Dead Gardens
8. Romanticide
9. Ghost Love Score
10. Kuolema Tekee Taiteilijan
11. Higher Than Hope
