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?!

Dear Scenekid...

Dear Scenekid,

I keep wondering about the things that are said about emos on the internet. I just found a website where an American doctor is warning parents for the fenomanen Emo. The site is just ridiculous, it is using every prejudge about emos against their culture. The culture is far not as dangerous as they try to let you believe. Lets start with the prejudges, what are these prejudges? Well the most considerable prejudges are that emos commit suicide and cut themselves. Others are that all emos are gay or at least bi-sexual. That is also the reason that guys wear girl-jeans and eyeliner. All emos have the same haircut and that is the one with the hair before one eye so that they can't see half of the evil world. Emos all listen to My Chemical Romance, or everyone that listens to My Chemical Romance is emo. Not only My Chemical Romance has got that label, also bands like Panic! at the Disco and 30 seconds to mars can't escape the hype. All emos are depressed and the music makes them even more depressed due to the sad lyrics. First I would like to make something clear about the music. The music of bands like My Chemical Romance is not the cause of the suicide and selfdestruction of emos. It may be the consequence of their depression. Children do not become depressed from ´emo´ music, but I can imagine that they go listen to that music if they are depressed. They may find themselves in the lyrics that moment and we all know that rockmusic just gives you a lot of energy and that is the positive thing that depressed people are looking for. Rockmusic can be just like drugs, if you feel good it makes you feel even better. If you feel down it can make you feel downer. That is maybe the reason that depressed emos blame the music for their depression. Although you also hear a lot of people that say ´emomusic´ helped them trough hard times. It is just the way you interpretade the music and the lyrics. The ´doctor´on the site I told you about wrote some of the ´alarming´ lyrics on his page and he underlined the dangerous sentences. We all know Panic! at the disco and I found that a very cheerful rockband, but he doesn´t think so. Do you think that sentences like ´she is not bleeding on the ballroomfloor just for the attention´are shocking? Sure not if you look at the rest of the lyric. If all these pretending doctors and journalists would pay a little more attention then they would see that you don't have to take this lyrics so seriously. Lyrics of Panic! at the disco are called 'there is a good reason these tables are numbered honey, you just haven't thought of it yet', do you seriously think that these lyrics have a deep, dangerous and mysterious meaning? The lyrics of My Chemical Romance aren't that bad as well, you might think of that when you hear titles like 'I'm not okay', but listen to the song, look at the lyric and especially, watch the video. The video is hilarious, not serious at all. These bands do not want emo kids to cut themselves and do horrible things. Bands just want to stand out and sometimes they do that with shocking lyrics, but just to shock people. If you aren't able to shock people it is very hard to climb to the top as a band. You see it in every genre. In hiphop and rap you see a lot of sexual expressions, but do you see fans of that kind of music making love in the middle of the street? No, so if these emobands would tell kids to commit suicide, which they absolutely don't, the kids won't do that! The kids that do that are kids that are in a very difficult period in their life all in the age of 12/13 and they are so depressed that they need to blame something. In this case bands like My Chemical Romance, which is a shame, cause MCR is an awesome band. These kids could have just as easily indentify with an other kind of music. They need a group and unfortunately the media made emos to the kind of group they think they belong to. The media made emo a negative culture, but I think that if you want to know what emo is, you should look at the roots. So you should look at the bands that pretend to be emo, the bands that emos follow. What kind of example do they give the kids? Skinny jeans, all stars, hair before the eye, express your emotions in lyrics... The ani-emos are the ones that put this aspects in a negative sight. Hair for the eye is to see only half of the evil world, I have that to, but just because I think it looks nice and my favourite bands that by the way make me feel really good are wearing it as well. The skinnyjeans according to the ani-emos is too tight for guys, so all emoguys are gay. Media is taking that very seriously and spreads only that news, cause that is shocking, but they are forgeting that that isn't the truth. The thing I want to make clear is that emos aren't that bad. It is to bad that depressed kids identify themselves with this scene and drag each other more and more into a serious depression. The original emo kids though are kids positively obsessed with rockbands, wearing their t-shirts, supporting them in every step, wearing the same clothes like skinnyjeans and all stars, aren't afraid to show their emotions and that is not bad, cause most are just happy cheerful people, they are smiling all day long!


Please comment...

And the winners are...

It is already the end of the week, end of the month and also the end of the year! That means that I have to pronounce you, the winners of the best concert, the best band, best upcoming band, the best lyric, best cd and the best guitarist of the whole year!!! It had been a difficult decission, cause every band has their own charme, every lyric their own meaning and every guitarist their own style... We will start with the best band..

The best band...

This had been the most difficult one...Lets start with the seven best bands... I think that bands like, the pigeon detectives, deep insight, lostprophets, the wombats, my chemical romance and look see proof did a very good job this year. The Pigeon detectives are amazing, they proof that you can achieve a lot with doing simple things. They have simple lyrics like; I am so in love with you, I just don't know what I should do, I'll do nothing and I'll just dream, I never seem to get it right, It seemed that tonight, I don't know how to say goodbye and if I did I surely cried!. Those lyrics may look simple, but I think that they are brilliant! Great singalongs and they just make you feel happy:) They grew a lot in one year and their performace is fenomenal!The Wombats are amazing as well, their songs are also great singalongs and feel good songs! Their performance is in another way than that of the pigeon detectives fenomenal..They seem to be funny and spontanious as well, and I think attitude is also very important for a band, especially for an upcoming band! Look see proof is also a great new upcoming band, also britpop, but a little bit more serious...They are really talented and I think that they are going to be huge! I can't get enouph of their songs, you really should listen to them, they sound great!!! Their performance is very energetic, just really good! And the guitarist is a cutie;) that counts as well!!My Chemical Romance is a very famous, but very good band! Their last cd "the black parade" made a real statement! Song like "dead" and "famous last words" are just very very good! But I have to admit, that bands like the pigeon detectives and the lostprophets have a better performance...The Lostprophets are the kings of the performance! Their songs are awesome and they are just stage animals!!! Lostprophets frontman Ian Watkins is according to a lot of fans the most sexy man on this planet, and I can't disagree;) They have so much energy on stage and I have never seen a crowd so wild!! Ian loves to crowdsurf and the fans go wild just to be able to touch him...Their last cd called: "A liberation transmission" is a little poppier than the others, but I love it! Although the next album is going to be darker, the songs become more powerful and sooooo amazingly good!!! New songs like "the dead", " next stop atrocity" and "weapon" are one of the best I've ever heard! They grew a lot this year! Their style changed, musically, but also in their clothes and they have the best style I could imagine;) Deep Insight stays my favourite band! They have everything...the style, the quality, the performance, the sound and the look! They haven't been in the Netherlands this year..It had almost been two years ago, but still I think about them every day...they have something magical and they are soooo nice! The nicest artists on the planet;) I just don't get why they don't break trough in the Netherlands...They are busy making an album right now, I am very excited about that! But I wished that that would come to the Netherlands:( They stay my favourite band ever, because of their music and giving me the best day of my life, but I can't say that they are the band of the year, simply because they didn't give us an album this year and didn't perform for us this year... So for the best band I have to go for.....tadadada....The Lostprophets!!!! If you could make me cry at a gig, you deserve it!!!!
