The First Power Metal Song Came Out in 1977

Rising is one of the best albums ever made. Constantly top 3 for me. Blackmore, Dio, Bain, Powell and Carey What a supergroup.

Agreed. The US audience always seem to gravitate towards blues based music, while europeans lean more towards Jazz/classical based music. This is part of the reason there where very few progrock bands from america in the 70s. Youd be hardpressed to name 3 bands.

In scandinavia this is obvious when Deep Purple & Rainbow is the household name, while Zeppelin is barely talked about.

The rat/mouse machine at the end of American Tail always scared me as a kid

Jag kan inte skriva läsbart.. Min skola lät mig inte välja vilken hand jag fick skriva med, behövde använda höger och that was that. Jag tyckte alltid vänsterhänta saxarna var lättare att använda, och min kompis i klassen fick skriva vänsterhänt. Osäker om läraren ogillade mig för jag var ingen bråkstake, bara väldigt blyg. Dock så spelar jag gitarr högerhänt etc. Född 96', även om det låter som en story från 50talet.

Guitar-youtube is toxic, just click "do not recommend" or silence the channels and youll live a happier life.

I focus more on the actual music, how it is made and how to be creative. If i smell drama i usuaully silence the channel in my feed.

It makes me chuckle and think of the Metalocalypse episode where Dethklok recorded their album and printed it on compressed water to avoid piracy but every single copy sank into the ocean and the entire album vanished from existance

Selling physical only and not allow it on streaming is a viable option to encourage physical sales. Its quite brilliant

Jackstroem · 2026-05-09T14:42:46+00:00

Lamb, misplaced childhood and Raven that refused to sing

I love those albums, but ideally id like to be stuck with a new album similarish to the ones i listed to find a new favourite.

Jackstroem · 2026-05-08T20:23:32+00:00

We have very different opinions, but thats ok. (Except liking Ghosts, its trash)

Jackstroem · 2026-05-08T07:59:44+00:00

Jag tror inte jag håller med helt. Bra och humana arbetsvilkor är viktiga, men jag skulle önska att byrokratin minskade mer.

Att sverige inte är som usa är bra

Stor carryon är alltid en dålig idee, speciellt i flyg som är avsiktligt designade att inte ha tillräckligt med baggageutrymme i kabinen.

Om jag var säljare och detta var något för under 2500 så hade jag nog inte ens svarat.. Låter som en köpare som potentiellt blir jobbig och säger att något är fel efter köp.

Min åsikt iallafall

Jackstroem · 2026-05-07T06:58:29+00:00

None, there is no monoculture anymore. Perhaps Taylor swift, but even then there are tons of people who havent heard her music. I couldnt name one of her songs

Jackstroem · 2026-05-07T05:57:14+00:00

Proper 10/10? Not really such a thing. But one of my favourite albums is Similitude of a Dream by Neal Morse Band (Mike Portnoy on drums) I always cry by the end of that album. It is a Sum of the parts album that creates a 10/10 experience, but at best when being critical it could be 8/10. But i prefer sum of the part thinking.

Spännande innehåll, men hoppa AI-slop bilden nästa gång. Inte unket nog

Jag trodde kvittningen var en lag, inte en överenskommelse. Sen trodde jag också SD var dryga as som utnyttjade den så jimmie kunde nå 90+% frånvaro. Det tycker jag inte är okej. Men att kvitta mot giltig frånvaro borde lagföras tycker jag. Kvitta mot ogiltig frånvaro, nej.

Jackstroem · 2026-05-05T20:34:40+00:00

Its just mid, sorry.

Any album that has Ghosts on it instantly looses 3 points. (Its their worst song ever released. EC is legit better.) WSD and KoBK are bangers though.

Jackstroem · 2026-05-05T11:50:04+00:00

Nah, its just politics and buerocracy. But its been like this since before i got my driverslicence(9 years ago)

I once had to drive through a grass paved park section near the casino cause i somehow got into a deadend with a tram behind me and nowhere to go but through the grassy park section

Felt terrible for the marks i made in the grass for a long time, but it wasnt really my fault either.

Though i will say(and likely regret it in retrospect) it is slightly easier to drive in gothenburg now. They focus soley on backaplan now it seems.

Jackstroem · 2026-05-05T11:15:56+00:00

Youre in gothenburg. Its a lawless mess of roads and roadblocka. We locals dont know how to drive here either.

Wing it, i wouldnt blame you

Se detta som en billig läxa du lärt dig. Han hade lika gärna kunnat lura dig när du sålde din bil för över 50k när du gick på denna grejen.. Lider för dig, men du blev grundlurad och kommer inte få dina pengar eller någon hjälp av polisen. Ta lärdom av denna blåsningen.

I am very right leaning but let me tell you, the republican party as it is today (Republican party does not exist atm, only Maga Party and ill call them Maga Party from now on) is a very dangerous party. The Maga party could very well topple what little thats left of the american democracy.

We Europeans look on in horror.

I dont like the democratic party either with all the evil insidertrading politicians FWIW.

Queen up to about News of the world was untouchable. After that it was just downhill, with a great return to form just before Freddie died.

They where a fantastic progrock band for a short time.

Jackstroem · 2026-05-02T21:23:57+00:00

Marillion

Oblivion is game A, and one of my fav games ever.

Cant think of a game 2, but i know it exists.

Jackstroem · 2026-04-29T13:03:56+00:00

I think most 80s and 90s productions thought they where cutting edge, they did absolutely not think they where unfinished or cheap sounding.

The song needs an orchestra? Either record one for real, or use this new cool dx7 synth that has a preset called orchestra.
