    Drusie, Lordi got big outside of Scandinavia when they did the Eurovision Song Contest. That basically gave them a larger audience aware of their music and they went from there.
    Im just scared the same might happen for Dustin the Turkey.

    The Darkness could have been on there but after the whole big-headed breakup thing they just didnt stamp any lasting authority on the industry and alot of Hawkins writing was basically him going 'look at me i can sing falsetto in every song!' although some of their songs (especially the guitar work) were awesome and any band capable of holding up a festival with a half hour Guitar Solo has to be legendary!
    Oh and 'Growing on me' is about catching pubic lice so thats extra points too

    If nothing else works, a total pig-headed unwillingness to look facts in the face will see us through.

    That pushed them up in my estimation, actually, their festival performance. They had fireworks! It was quite amusing. AND they did Street Spirit. <3

    Tell you who DO hold up festivals with half-hour guitar solos. Pearl fucking Jam. Most boring 2 hours and 45 minutes of my ENTIRE life. Red Hot Chilis, too, actually. They were really enjoyable, when they were playing actual songs and NOT just bopping around the stage doing improvs that lasted 15 minutes each in between every other song.


    this is hell
    we have a little something called integrity

    I know about that... I'm saying that, since I heard about the ESC through Lordi, not the other way around, that I'm mildly confused as to how they popped up on my radar. But I'm sooo glad they did.

    Ah right...well unfortunately nothing to watch out for came out of this years contest. Unless by 'watch out for' you mean 'hunt down with a Shotgun and torture with butter knives'

    This for example finished in the top 10....

    and this was Finlands entry this year. Attempting the Lordi formula without the masks.

    The one song that did make me think 'hmmm not bad' was the Turkish entry. It reminds me of someone but i cant think who. Kinda like a darker Manic Street Preachers. (Deli, the title, means Insane)
