Wicked Teletubby

the guys have just officially announced the third Warrior's Dance festival on Sep. 15th in Belgrade, Serbia. new album is to be released somewhere between this big event and end of the year. Liam also gave a little clue for an album title: 'Jet Fighter'. still just a working title of some kind. he also confirmed the record as absolutely no dubstep (which is great to my liking).

I'll keep you guys updated.

just a quick little update worth posting: the man's confirmed to do this year's Rock Am Ring / Rock Im Park festivals.

happy birthday, daddy.

nope. they didn't

as far as I can see it should take only a couple of days to announce a full tourdate list. just because they don't have much time left for selling tickets. I gave myself three or four attempts to listen to Asking Alexandria. each time I ended up closing YT page at the third minute. dear AA guys, y u so yelling kids? not being offensive to AA fans around though.

my bad. sorry.

The Still Reckless Tour is a North America tour for a British screamo band, Asking Alexandria featuring Trivium, DIR EN GREY, I See Stars, Motionless In White and The Amity Affliction. the first half of the tourdates: 3/09- Chico, CA @ Senator Theatre 3/10- San Diego, CA @ SOMA 3/11- Tucson, AZ @ Rialto Theatre 3/13- Mission, TX @ Never Say Never Festival – Las Palmas Racepark 3/15- Austin, TX - SXSW 3/16- San Antonio, TX @ White Rabbit 3/17- Dallas, TX @ South By So What Festival – QuikTrip Park 3/21- South Carolina @ TBA 3/23- Charlotte, NC @ Amos Southend 3/24- Norfolk, VA @ The Norva 3/25- Richmond, VA @ The National 3/27- Sayreville, NJ @ Starland Ballroom 4/07- Louisville, KY @ Expo Five

X Japan is truning into Blizzard. the new album is due 'when it's done'. which is equal to 'like hell knows when'.

since it all goes like, 'OOH SHOO SHOO SHOO SHOO SHOO SHOO SHOW' it's really hard to get it's a remake of THAT song.

I got them romanized. Tsumi To Kisei Ido no naka Kankin Tsumeru doro Jinken Kairaku Kami no ko Sadeizumu Mizuumi nohotori 1(ichi) . sad . sexually . 2(ni) . sad . sexually Kawaku kuchi Shita Semento Sabi Daeki Kansen Nawa Suramu Kyosei Sakeru niku Nigai mitsu Ryoujoku no ame Kousatsu Ningen

the band will probably be doing a secret show in California on Jan. 19th. as a part of tradition for secret shows they've been doing so far the guys chose a secret name. this time they will be Rubber Band Of Wolves. http://www.bravewords.com/news/174965

2 nekkichi that's the way to find out. obviously. 2 Marshall Lee both.

listening to a first anniversary show at The Fillmore. epic as it is. first half of One was only played on cellos by Apocalyptica with James singing. Lars, Rob and Kirk joined in the second half (surprise!) titled 'Darkness'. Carpe Diem Baby absolutely ROCKED. so did my personal favorite No Leaf Clover with Apocalyptica cellos again. wow. I mean it. wow.

INWARD SCREAM got messed up all in all. then, no Mazohyst for Boston BUT replaced with a luxurious encore. I mean, Kodou! Kasumi!
