It would be pretty awesome if they'd actually represent Norway at eurovision song contest. I don't think it's very likely but hey, at least they're definitely better than Lordi or Teräsbetoni (blergh)
And I like hot dogs, lol |
|
|
|
| Well, no...selling hot dogs (and hot dogs in general) is metal, unless its a metaphor for selling a specific part of male body, then it is not. |
|
|
|
Norway wouldn't want to host Eurovision for two years anyway, so they can easily afford something totally insane.
Quote:
"I think it's less of a sellout to play in the Eurovision than to sell hot dogs."
That's rubbish, those are two different things and I don't even sell hotdogs, lol.  |
|
|
|
| It's not like this band hasn't "sold-out" before. Not that it really matters. Hell, if I had a chance to take a piss on the Eurovision, I'd probably do the same thing. |
|
|
|
| Well they suck and their music is very popish nowadays so i think this fits them perfectly:P |

lol you're the one with Opeth as the first band in your favorites. Opeth's latest music is more pop than Keep's; so why would that be an issue on whether or not they're good? Keep's latest music flows better than before and is more catchy than it used to be, that doesn't make it pop imo. Still fast as hell with kick ass riffs. They're a fresh, original sound that I like a lot.
I hope Keep gains more fans and opportunities through this show. |

Yeah i dont understand how you get to that conclusion...just because you dont like it doesnt make it pop. I agree their last album sucked monkey balls because of terrible vocals and unimaginative songwriting but I wont call it pop just for the sake of it not being a good album.
Bit shocked by this whole Eurovision thing.....dont know what the hell they're thinking. Unless they wanna do it to piss people off and not ACTUALLY to win it and be known as "pop" from here on. |

Pain of Salvation is going to enter the contest with a song with the same name as thier next album. |

|
| Lol Black metal in Eurovision let's see.... |
|
|
|
| Even though I'm not from Norway, Lordi would be funner to see on stage again |
|
|

I love the way that all trve metalheads go saying how band is a "sell out" or "pop" if it tries to promote itself in any 'unmetal' way. Who fucking cares, it's a way to promote a band, and metal. Certanly they will get more attention this way, so it's a brilliat move for them ... oh and I saw them live few months ago, they fucking rock 
Btw there were talks that Stratovarius will represent Belarus since it matters from which country the writer of the song is ... |

A better comparison would be the fact he has Behemoth on his favourites list, Keep Of Kalessin and Behemoth are about neck and neck for accessible black metal.
Secondly, call it country for all I care, Keep Of Kalessin is fucking awesome. I hope the best for them in this contest...At least Obsidian is realistic by the sounds of it. |

|
| What a bunch of fucking posers. *puts ketchup on a hotdog* |
|
|
|
| It's only a matter of time before the Eurovision competition is ransacked and burned to the ground with the judge being crucified by legions of overzealous -- I mean passionate -- black metal fans who felt their favorite band was cheated as a result of society bowing to Christianity or something. I dunno...I'm not psychic. I mean I was going to become a clairvoyant, but I couldn't see a future in it. |
|
|
|
| But yea it would be great if they reached the finals, always fun to see metal bands prevail in commercial things, and i just said that shit above due to my distinct hatred towards their 2 latest albums^^ love their first:P |
|
|
|
| A black metal band representing Norway? That's the most sensible thing I've heard about that contest for quite a while. At least a lot more sensible than swing artists representing Germany with Dita von Teese showing off. |
|
|
|
| I absolutly loved this news ahahah We need more metal on the Eurovision, next step will be My Dying Bride representing England and King Diamond representing Denmark Moshpit and stage diving live from Eurovision |
|
|
|
| I think i would pay attention to this year again .D |

Lol, Manga is a rock band with style like Linkin Park not a metal band!!!! |

|
| Eurivision in a near future will turn into a rock/metal contest |
|
|
|
Which i find very metal  
but i have seen 2 years of it and i say there were always a couple of rockers/metalers...only they were drowned between fagots and pop queens |
|

"Some people, at least, will call us sellouts, but people saying those things are usually people who have an underground band themselves ..."
Ehm, no? I rarely discuss the sellout topic, but to most average Metal fans... this is sellout. |

I agree with the backlash re: hot dogs... I don't even like them, but what a dumb thing for him to say. Where's the logic in that? |

What an asshole. Honestly, those who have to keep a shitty job to pay for their underground band have a lot more integrity than this guy. |

| This is just... I dunno, either totally fuckin awesome, or completely utterly embarassing? Well I must certainly be voting my ass off if they make it... |
