The perfect band


Nobody is perfect, at least that's what they say...

Singers, guitarists and other artists may seem to look like Gods, and actually I start to believe that they really are! Anyway the question is: Does the perfect band excists? We need to wonder what the most important aspects of a band are. The music? The hot singer? The performance? I think it is a combination of these (and other) aspects. If I could build my own superband...
On the mic: Ian Watkins (Lostprophets)
On the bass: Tord Overland Knudsen (The Wombats)
On the lead guitar: Johannes Ylinen (Deep Insight)
On the second guitar: Brian (Vanilla Sky)
On the drums: Luca (Vanilla Sky)
Why would this be my superband? Well, they are all absolutely stunning;) Ian Watkins is the best performer I've ever seen and he and Tord will be able to combine the roughness of the Lostprophets with the cheerfullness of the Wombats. Johannes Ylinen may write the lyrics with the mysterious aspects as we only know from Deep Insight. Brian brings with his smile the happy attitude to the band, while Luca makes the fans crazy with his bad boy Italian attitude. To compensate the bad boy we need an honest nice guy, just like Johannes Ylinen. At last Gerard Way may direct the music videos, cause I think that the My Chemical Romance videos are the most beautiful in the world. Doesn't this sound like the ultimate perfect band? If you disagree, please tell me what you think!What will be the best, ultimate, supergroup in the universe?!

Vanilla Sky in Amsterdam...


I am already smiling when I think about it... It had been seriously the best concert I´ve ever been to! Panama is such a cosy venue and Vanilla Sky is such an amazing band! I am speechless... I decided not to go to early to this gig. So I arrived at seven ´o clock. Despite that I waited a long time for the band cause they were late. I had the best spot of all! between Brian and Vinx (the singers)... There were not a lot of people, I think maybe 35 or something. That made it even more fun, for me. I can imagine that Vanilla Sky would have liked some more audience. The audience was very silent, I think I was the only one screeming, dancing and singing along...I don't want to talk about the bands that supported Vanilla Sky, cause they suck sooo badly!!!!They were called 'so called celeste'and 'the maple room', well that's the only thing I'm saying about them. I was just shocked when the Vanillos came on stage, not that they did something special. It was just that I have been looking forward to the concert! And they look sooo good! As a joke I told my friends that they were only allowed to flirt with the bassist called Francesco (or cisco) and the drummer called Lucetto (or Luca). These Italian names are sooo beautiful don't you think? Well actually I told you it was a joke, but I was kind of serious about it. I prohibited them to wear skirts, heels or something like that and they were not allowed to make eyecontact or talk to them...I know I am sick, I should find help...It is just that I like Vanilla Sky sooo much! And I am a very jealous person...Vanilla Sky played incredibly well! I could sing along all the songs except for one cover they played of the Cardigans. Songs like Break it out, Devastante,letargo, Cut away and of course umbrella made me feel really good:)He almost kicked me several times, because I was really close to the stage! That was kind of scary, but I rather have a kick from Brian then from any one else;)Unfortunatly Vinx cut his hair, I liked it better before. Vinx does have the most beautiful voice I've ever heard, and that is not a lie! You should listen to the part where he sings in the song 'the fight', incredible;)!After the show I fell in love...with the whole band! I went to Brian first to ask for some autographs and a picture:) We talked about his holiday and Italy and yes, he has had a great holiday on the seaside of Italy! After talking to him I went to Francesco (Cisco) and I said: My sister is in love with you! She is six... No no not a lie, she told me herself, she keeps saying Francesco is sooo romantic!!! He asked how old I am and stupid as I am, I didn't lie... I made a picture with him and he stood on a seat cause he didn't want to look smaller than me... I was a lot taller than him ...Then I talked to Luca, the drummer. Sometimes being tall really sucks, it's usually the first thing people say to me! Luca said that it only had advantages, he said I could be a model and he could only drum. Then he and Cisco almost started kissing, really weird, with their lips like one inch away from each other. I looked at Cisco like what are you doing?? he told me that he and Luca were like brothers...I know that Italian people are close with families and stuff, but this was strange:S Then he and Luca started talking in Italian, the only thing I could say on that was: Italian is a beautiful language... On which he answered 'Do you speak Italian?' No I just know a few words..like Come estai (or something like that), ciao, ciao bello, ciao bella... Then hen said Pizza and something I really didn't understand.. I asked him what he told me, but he said he really couldn't say that to me..Well then you really make me curious! Please tell me? Come on tell me? Cisco said it again in German, but that isn't my best languange either... Finally Cisco told me that Luca said that he has well...a big penis:S That wasn't the kind of information I wanted to know, and I didn't believe it to. So I asked Luca to write it on a paper, he couldn't do that. So he wrote it on my arm: Sei una bella ragazza... I checked it at home, it means you're a beautiful girl, I am very flattered, but I don't believe it is the thing he told me before... Ha but I was soooo happy after and during the concert!!Everything had been perfect. A perfect end to a perfect concert:) Like a fairy tail, we lived happy ever after:)!

Vanilla Sky...

You probably know the song ´Umbrella´.... Vanilla Sky is the super fantastic band that gave a new rocking dimension to this song! It is rocking like never before en the video is sooooo funny! They are making fun of little popprincess Rihanna, but I am sure that even she could laugh about it!I mean, face it, everybody would like to see the guys from Vanilla Sky in miniskirts and high heels?! Dancing trough tins of water, so that you can see their thongs! Okay...I can imagine that you might get strange ideas of this band, if you have never heard of them before... But as you might know, I kinda like crazy bands;) So reasons enouph for me to go to the concert! Finally it was Saturdaynight, the day that I had been waiting for the whole week! I had been confident that it wouldn't be very busy, but that had been a wrong suggestion... There I stood in the huge row in front of the Melkweg, next to the tourbus. Words were written into the dust of the tourbus. Things like:Bella Brian... I coundn't agree more...When I looked next to me I saw...You wouldn't believe this... Vincenzo, or Vinx how he is liked to be called. My friend also arrived that moment and she immidiately went to him with the question: Can she have a picture with you? So I went on a picture with Vinx next to all the fans. I found it very stange that I was the only one paying attention to him. My English also lowered to a level of 0, so I couldn't even chat with him a little! I could only say 'thank you', wait, did I even say that??? Shortly after that, the doors opened. We took a look at the merchandise and there I made a huge blooper! I listened to the supportband on myspace and I did not like that a lot...So at the merchandise I screamed to my friend pointing to a teeshirt of them: That band really really sucks!! The 'Better Offs 'are really awfull!!! That moment the guy in front me said: This band is really good actually...I am the manager! Ooops...I quicky went into the hall. At eight thirty the band the Better Offs started and I have to say that with my eyes closed it wasn't even that bad! It actually sounded kinda good! The songs contained a lot of energy and the singer had a really good punk rock sound. But the moment I opened my eyes I could see again that it was a beginning Dutch band. If I had been their manager I would at least give them some skinny jeans! they would take an example of the good looking Italian guys of Vanilla Sky. Vanilla Sky looked great, amazing! They played all my favourite songs like: On and On, break it out, letargo, get away and the beautiful Devastante. Also a few oldies like Umbrella, beat it, a thousand miles and during the time that the drums failed, Vinx imprivised a part of Oasis' Wonderwall. During 'a housand miles', Brian was convinced that we could sing a lot better than he does, so he invited 2 girls on stage to sing a song of Blink 182. The girls sucked...But I guess I would have done it even worse. Despite that their only Dutch words had been: Neuken in de keuken...(which means fucking in the kitchen) It had been one of the best concerts I have ever been to! The music had been great!They looked awesome and they had been very good connected to the audience, they made eyecontact and communicate a lot! And of course the constant laugh of Brian.... Heavenly;) Proud with a caught pick and a drumstick I waited for the artists to come. After a while I saw Brian! He had been very nice. I got a photo and a autograph from him. And groupie likely as I am, I wanted to get more attention;)So I bought him a beer, he had been very surprised and thought in first instance that he could only have a sip. At that moment my friends started shouting that I should kiss him...Yeah, right, like I dare to do that! So a friend of mine went to him and asked if he wanted to give me a kiss! And he did, for like 20 seconds!But after that I saw Vinx standing, so I quicky gave him a kiss on the cheek and went of to Vinx;)I asked Vinx an autograph and he wrote beneath it: Most beautiful eyes I've met in all Holland!!! Maybe you can imagine that I felt very very very happy that moment! After that he didn't mind going on a picture with me again. Due to his enormous sidebeards I didn't dare to kiss him on the cheek... I could talk about this concert forever on and on.... But I think you get the picture;) Vinx, Brian, Francesco and Luca are real rockstars and I just can't get enouph of them!
