VERA it is!
VERAGood but wouldn’t say brilliant. Really like Ingvald & enjoyed the gigs with him. His bands Kanaan & Full Earth are awesome. Still Tomas + MP chemistry & skill & cosmic wise to me is a way different league. Plus I like it when they appear as as threesome in stead of two plus various. Agree with Johnny on the rehearsal room.
When I heard the news about Tomas departure I felt straight out angry. How could they possibly not keep him on board, Million Dollar Drummer, driving the band beyond the universe. Although I love Yay, MP to me hasn’t been what it could be ever since.
@UnChien, merchtable – they have a Rockbottom (A) and Silver Dollar Forger (B, Nazareth) tour single. A pretty darn surprising hardrocking little diamond. Recorded with Reine & Tomas Dec 22, mastered by Helge.
For MP I wonder if they would like to be a proper threesome again instead of 2 plus a session drummer (this label really struck me in the insta post, although it might just as well be about Tomas’ ambitions – don’t know).
Tomas, really sad to see you go. Enjoyed your playing with MP. Thanks so much. I remember seeing you perform with Zu in DBs Utrecht. It was when you were about to join MP. The Swedish national soccer team were playing and in between Zu’s incredible wall of noise you asked the crowd what the halftime score was. 0-1 somebody said. You screamed shit and banged the hell out of the venue. Wishing you all the best, will be following you wherever you’re headed.
Great work Blashyrkh, many thanks!
Not sure if this has already been done or considered – would Thor want to share his wonderful MP photography through the DB?
Great guys! Won't be able to attend (wish I could) but hope you'll have a wonderful evening. Really a nice idea to celebrate our heroes this way for lack of their concerts in these times….
Dear suntripper, dear fellow psychonauts,
Why are face masks designed with no respect for people with beards?
What if more of us were women? How would this thread look like? Or are most of us in fact females using male nicknames?
What is the footprint of all that plastic waste related to our fight against the virus?
So we are fighting the virus, right? Shouldn’t we learn to live with it in stead?
How would Charles Darwin view the pandemic and the way we deal with it?
All along in this thread I’ve been wondering. In times of extreme uncertainty, how come there are so many answers and so few questions?
I feel grateful for the decreasing infections, largely due to vaccination. Enormous respect for our medical fellow humans who are working so hard. I’d like to support the common good, show solidarity, see MP live again. Yet I have doubts about the vaccines that I regard as experimental for the time being and of unknown impact to my body. What should I do?
Why is the what-if question so difficult to spot on this thread? Imagine yourself, Johnny, Supernaut, the Conscience or any of us asking: what if it’s the other way around?
For instance: what if my doubts are unnecessary? Many say: the risk of taking the vaccine is far less than the probability of severe health problems when attracting corona. Others say: let go of your skepticism. Yes. Good points.
How come we so easily seem to dismiss another person’s opinion as a stereotype like binary, antivax, conspiracy, egoism? Is it because we are afraid, taking the easy way out, too filled up with preconceptions? What are we missing by not being a bit more open? Wouldn’t it at least be interesting to hear a story we haven’t heard before?
Punj said earlier in this thread he believes we are fucked. Here in Holland we keep thousands of animals stuffed with antibiotics in huge stables in order to supply our meat factories. Some Dutch are proud that our tiny country is one of the biggest agricultural exporters in the world. To protect the industry, once a contagious disease is found, we butcher all animals at risk in no time, by the hundreds of thousands.
Imagine we were the animals and the animals were us and they would treat us the way we treat them.
The virus is believed to have first emerged in the same bizarre meat-mass-consumption realm. Apart from our kind of handling of the symptoms of a perverted world, shouldn’t we also discuss the need for intrinsic health or even system change? Not on this forum please. Fair enough. In any case, at least it would bring us closer to our other common good since many of the Gullvåg lyrics are related to this topic.
Mankind likes to kill prophets. Jesus was only 33 years old. What if the virus were a mini-prophet, with a voice and an opinion of its own?
Are we fucked? Here’s an attempt by Nick Cave to say something meaningful.
