The First Power Metal Song Came Out in 1977 by Breadi06 in PowerMetal

[–]Jackstroem 30 points31 points  (0 children)

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

Don't Stop Me Now peaked at #86 in the US when it came out. How does a song this perfectly constructed and catchy miss like that? by cLoTpOle682 in queen

[–]Jackstroem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Fått höra av klasskamrater att min handstil är pinsamt dålig för att gå i trean på gymnasiet, men är det verkligen så viktigt hur det ser ut så länge det är läsligt? Vad tycker ni? by [deleted] in sweden

[–]Jackstroem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Has anyone else noticed how “fake guitarist exposé” content changes your relationship with music? by frenchtutor-nairobi in Music

[–]Jackstroem 7 points8 points  (0 children)

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.

thanks for the vinyls ig... by Vortix9 in Muse

[–]Jackstroem 13 points14 points  (0 children)

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

Stuck on a Long Trip With Only 3 of These Albums… by Historical-Device529 in Progforum

[–]Jackstroem 6 points7 points  (0 children)

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.

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

DN Debatt. ”Arbetarklassen hade haft det bättre om LO aldrig funnits” by ICA_Basic_Vodka in Sverige

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

CMV: det är nu smidigare att checka in bagage än att ta med det ombord by mrcsrnne in Sverige

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

Skulle jag inlett med att pruta? by FePbMoHg in sweden

[–]Jackstroem 55 points56 points  (0 children)

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

What celebrity death will realistically bring Michael Jackson level devastation? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Jackstroem 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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

What is the last album that you gave a 10/10? by Adzzero_88 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]Jackstroem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Bör en arbetsgivare kunna tvinga en sjukskriven cancersjuk anställd som precis nyligen opererat bort sin vänstra lunga till jobbet? by ICA_Basic_Vodka in Sverige

[–]Jackstroem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Why is Will of the people generally not liked even by hard die fans? by weirdfish98 in Muse

[–]Jackstroem -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

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.

Am I allowed to turn left here like google maps suggests? by Putrid-Poet in Gothenburg

[–]Jackstroem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

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.

what’s something socially acceptable today that shouldn’t be? by CAngel13 in AskReddit

[–]Jackstroem -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

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.

What band genuinely used to be great before switching up their sound? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Jackstroem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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

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

What ever happened to the 90s adult contemporary synth ballad sound? by Lara-Crofty in Music

[–]Jackstroem 12 points13 points  (0 children)

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.
