...quand lors d'une partie de MMORPG le joueur en face ne parle pas anglais, demande une aide dans sa langue natale que je ne comprends pas, traduit le mot crucial, se fait tuer la seconde d'après sans que j'ai eu le temps de réagir... et me traite de noob parce que j'ai pas réagi!

Voilà, c'était mon coup de gueule du soir... Sorry if you don't understand French!!! ^^'

And the winner...

...isn't Arion! =( too bad!! Really.
The winner of UMK is Krista Siegfrids. It's not my cup of tea AT ALL!!
Anyway, let's see how she'll be at the Eurovision Song Contest.

UMK

Watching the finale of finnish pre-selections for Eurovision Song Contest. Only understand 1 word of 100 but doesn't matter ^^ I love Finnish anyway!
And I'm watching it for one reason: Arion. The metal band of this finale! The drummer is Stratovarius' Matias Kupiainen's brother. I sincerely hope they'll win, they deserve it! 
Their performance can be found here

GO ARION!!!!

Silverthorn

I recently got the limited edition of Kamelot's new album, Silverthorn. And I must say, I'm glad I bought this version!! =)
First, the songs are really beautiful: Sacrimony, Torn, Solitaire, Silverthorn... the 2 jewels of this albums are the wonderful Song for Jolee and Falling Like the Fahrenheit, the new single. Tommy's voice is awesome, and the musician are still incredibly great!! :D
Second, this limited edition contains an instrumental CD, including 2 pieces unreleased on the other version: Kismet and Grace.
Last but not least, it also includes the story of Silverthorn, written by Amanda Somerville. A short story incredibly good written, and which helps to understand the concept of the album.

Congrats, guys. You did a great job!!!!!

Special thoughts

All my best thoughts to Lamb of God's singer Randy Blythe, on trial today.
He's accused of having caused the death of a 19-year-old fan in May 2010, by pushing him out of the stage.

Dear Randy, all the Lamb Of God fans and all the metalheads all over the world are behind you!

Homesick...

and I HATE it... missing my dear Brittany :(
Hope this will help me

Noz vat! Good night! Bonne nuit! Hyvää yötä! Gute nacht! Godnat!

Ghost Love Score - Nightwish

New live video of Nightwish (with Floor Jansen), shot in Buenos Aires : Ghost Love Score

Floor's performance is awesome! Really.

My musical discovery today....

...is a french-russian technical melodeath band, called Sweetest Devilry!

The band is composed of the Béguigné brothers (Jeff, vocals/guitars & Andrian, drums), Tarik Heddoun (guitars), Victor Perrin and Sylvere Cauzard.

Go on, guys! Your music is GREAT!!! :D

A new web series : Morgan Parker

I hope you can understand french, for there is no english version!

This is the 1st episode of the series, named after the main character, a weird young man living in 2033 in a town called Paradox City, whose life will one day be changed forever.
I discovered this thanks to a friend of my big brother, who is part of the production team and plays in this episode, and I must say I had a blast watching it.  It's truely great!
Can hardly wait for the 2nd episode!

Meanwhile, on YouTube...

ah, YouTube. Truely incredible website, when web-users from all over the world post all sorts of video. And among the lolcats, humoristics stuff and other crazy shit, you can fall on something totally unexpected.
I'd quote only one name: Eric Calderone, aka Erock.
This american guitarist picks up worldwide famous songs, Internet memes (Nyan Cat, Gangnam Style, Trololo...), movie soundtracks (Harry Potter, Pirates of the Caribbean, Star Wars...) or even video game soundtracks (Skyrim or Super Mario themes), and turns them into something much more... metal, re-arrangeing them and adding some riffs, sometimes mixing a track with extracts of another song. The mp3 can be found on his website
If you happen to be a metalhead yourself, you can but like it. Along those videos, Lady GaGa and LMFAO might become your friends (I said "might"!).
His last stuff: a metal version of "Numa Numa", including the guitar solo of Bodom Beach Terror, by Children Of Bodom!

 As a metalhead, I must say his versions are simply amazing. As a guitarist, I can but admire his playing.
Great job, Erock!
