8-9 July, Ruisrock.

 

Ruisrock was great but it was also soooooo hard. we saw 9 band live on Saturday and we came back at 2 in the night to our hostel. The situation got better on Sunday, when we saw only 4 bands, then we left the festival to look for a place to watch the football match.

 

By the way, the experience was great and the bands were great too. Here some words for each band.

 

 

SATURDAY

 

 

12- 13: SUBURBAN TRIBE. I like so much the old songs but I have to admit that the last cd sucks, they´re too new-metal. We arrived a bit late and were able to see only half of the gig; fortunately they played some old songs so I could enjoy. And it was quite strange to see my old friend Ville on stage, when I was used to meet him at Loose bar singing Aikuinen nainen (the Finn version of Maledetta Primavera ^_^). Ville has gained lot of weight but the gig was good. 7 ½

 

13.30- 14.30: STAM1NA. YES YES YES, some good thrash music made in Finland! Grat great great Stan1na, I really enjoyed their gig even if I had listened the cds only twice and I haven´t learned the songs yet. Great performance, that reminds me a bit of Kotiteolissuus, between serious and demential. I hope I can see them live again soon! 8

 

14.30- 15.30: APOCALYPTICA: I like their music, but for 15 minutes at the maximum.. I need someone singing to enjoy the gigs. But as usual, talking about technique, the guys were perfect and really relaxing. I had just eaten, it was veeeeery hot and it was the nap time, so some relaxing music wasn´t a bad idea at all!!!! I took some pics then Petteri and I went to the drinking area and watched the gig from there. Ah, as usual Eicca is quite fuckable, as much as the drummer! A bit boring, but ok, let´s say 7

 

15.40- 16.40: TIMO RAUTIAINEN: I have to admit that I liked Timo very much the first time I saw him live with Trio Niskalaukaus, but this time there was something missing maybe Trio Niskalaukaus???? :P I liked the music but I wasn´t able to be completely taken. The new guitar player of the band is our old friend Alexander Kuoppala, and it was so nice to see him again after years. Can I be a bit mean? Alexander now doesn´t have to worry anymore that he´s useless in the band, cause no one is cute in the band =) I know. I´m a bitch hihihi. Great the last song, JALOVIINA, a sort of Finnish booze a buon intenditor. 7

 

16.50- 17.50: 69 EYES: People has strated to arrive and it was impossible to get near to the stage and take some decent pics. Great 69, even if at the beginning they had some technical problems with the sound. I liked very much the track list, that included some of my favourite songs like The Chair, Brandon Lee, Devils and Dance d´Amour, and many others. The sound is so powerful live and the performance, as usual, supposed to be very gothic but it´s very ridiculous: the Jirky dance is something that I recommend you should see at least once in your life. But after all it´s part of the style of 69 eyes, and it´s just another reason why you can enjoy so much the gig. Happy birthday to Jussi, who turned 36 on Saturday 36?????? Jussi????? 36??????? O_O    9-

 

19.20- 20.20: OPETH. I love them, I want all their cds, they´re cool, they´re great, they´re so depressive!!!!!! They played in a very intensive and emotional way, they were able to take you completely for all the gig, you couldn´t think about anything else till they finished. The only other band who had this effect on me was Moonspell some years ago. I´m very sorry for all the people that spent the time in the drinking area cause they don´t know what they lost (Petteeeeriiiiiii.). The singer is a really funny guy that likes a lot to make jokes with the audience and it´s quite strange cause they´re Swedish. maybe they´re not from Stockholm =)   8

 

20.30- 21.30: NEGATIVE. I expected something more, more energy and more lively performance. I like Negative´s music but they didn´t play at the maximum; I had the feeling that Jonne was more worried about his style than about the performance in general, so despite all th girlies screaming for him and taking pics for all the gig, sorry to say that they looked more like a boy band than like a serious band. I would have preferred to hear the same atmosphere that you can hear from the cds than what I heard last Saturday. But the songs were good after all and time passed quite quickly. It looks quite obvious that Jonne wishes to be like Michael Monroe 20 years ago, but the goal is still very far. And the pink jeans don´t help! 6 ½

 

21.40- 22.55: RASMUS: I didn´t expect anything special, some people told me that Rasmus suck live and that they´re a band for girlies etc. Surprisingly very good performance!!!! Really really really good performance, and Lauri´s voice didn´t disappoint anyone. Rasmus concentrated most of the gig on the songs from Dead letters and they formally closed with In the shadows, even if they played a couple of songs after that. Better live than on cd, more charisma, great feelings and good technique, excellent choirs. Lauri is another idol for girlies, but at least when he´s on stage he´s more worried to get a good performance that to his look, which was quite different from the official cd pics. Wish that all the people who were disappointed by this band could see the same gig that I saw, they would change idea for sure. One of the best bands of the festival. 8 ½

 

00.00- 01.15: HANOI ROCKS: I´m very very sorry to say it, but this time I was a bit disappointed by Andi and Michael. They didn´t give their best as usual and the gig was a bit boring. The sound wasn´t the same as usual and no blasts on stage besided the fireworks. But usually Hanoi don´t need fireworks to be blasting. It´s always nice to hear the old songs, and especially A day late a dollar short, one of my favourite songs ever, but this time things didn´t work as they should. Michael was definitely too wasted to have the same charisma that he usually has, and after the first songs it was a bit boring to stand the hot and the crowd for a performance that was lot under expectations. After half gig, we went home. Sorry guys, hope the next time it will be better! 6 +

 

SUNDAY

Sunday starts very bad!!!! Well, I was so looking forward for seeing Teräsbetoni, the Finnish Manowar, that we planned our schedule to be in the festival area right before they started but. surprise surprise. wrong timetable probably there was a mistake when I downloaded the band list from internet, but instead of played and 15.50 as we thought, the fucking band played at 13.20, when we were eating at the delicious Dennis restaurant, the best pizza all over Finland fucking fuck!!!!!

 

By the way:

 

15.30- 16.30: TIKTAK: a band of Finnish pop bitches Always refused to listen to something from them and I didn´t even want to see them live but there was nothing else to do when we arrived, so. and after all they don´t sound so bad, even if it´s not my kind of music. My boyfriend likes them but he fell asleep while we were laying under the sun between thousands of other (drunk) people. Good time for a nap! No evaluation

 

17-18: YUP: that´s the other band that I would have liked to skip cause they´re unstandable on cd, they´re really annoying. But once again there was nothing to do so we went close to the stage where YUP was performing and I admit that they´re more standable live. After all the hour passed quite fast and I was soo looking forward for the following band that I didn´t dislike so much their stuff. But probably you can´t appreciate a lot if you´re not Finnish I think it´s more or less the same if some foreigner hears something from Elio e le storie tese. No evaluation

 

18-19: APULANTA: I fell in love with their music since the first time I saw them live 2 years ago and I was really happy to see them again. They played many old songs (Piskaa, Mato, and many songs that I know but I don´t remember the titles) and musically they were great. Enormous emotion to hear again Vasten mun kasvojani cause every time I listen to it  it reminds me of savonlinna 2 years ago and it´s so nostalgic for me. So, even if they didn´t play Jumala (my second favourite song of their), this was, together with 69 eyes and the next band, the gig that I liked most. 8 ½

 

19.30- 20.30: AMORPHIS: I have been waiting for seeing them live for 5 or 6 years, since the first time I heard Elegy. To me, Amorphis means emotions, and it was a very emotional experience to see then finally. I grew up listening to the voice of Pasi Koskinen so I´ll be always from his side, but the new singer doesn´t let you miss Pasi at all. Great voice, and as the previous singer, great ability to pass from growl to clear voice in some seconds, great charisma. GREAT BAND!!!! One of the best I´ve ever seen live and the best of the festival. It´s impossible for me to describe completely what I felt to hear some old songs, and to hear the only song that I didn´t dare to expect from the band: My kantele. The acoustic version is maybe my favourite song after Bed of Razors, but I really didn´t expect to hear it live. Well, it was the normal version, but I thought I could have a heart attack when I heard the first notes. Thank you guys, for this dream!   9

 

So Ruisrock ended after Amorphis for us. It´s true, we lost Tool. But we were able to see a great final of the world championship!

 

 

Pics coming soon!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

!!!!HARD ROCK HALLELUJAH!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Una volta potevo vedere solo il mio sogno

non sentivo le piccolezze sotto le stelle

 

Una volta avevo sbarre sulla culla

scrissi come un detenuto una lettera da lí

 

Mio creatore, lasciami diventare ció che mio figlio

crede che io sia

 

In te la bellezza del mondo

da ció la morte fece di me un artista

 

Mio creatore, lasciami diventare ció che mio figlio

crede che io sia

 

Qui ho creato un mio cielo

lasciami andare via

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Però.... a voi non sembra che manchi qualcosa????? A me sì!!!!!

Io ero andata lì per sentire 3 canzoni in tutto: Heartache Every Moment, Pretending e Funeral of Hearts... Ok Pretending sarebbe stato un surplus ma sulle altre 2 non transigo... e invece questo rotto in culo di Ville zero... manco passato per l'anticamera del cervello di suonarle... ZEROOOO!!! Che tristezza... Vederli chiudere con una cover pure fatta male, vederli perdere 10 minuti così, per l'anima del cazzo... Ville, sei avvisato, la prossima volta che ti becco in giro per Helsinki ti riempio di botte (non rivolgo la minaccia a Gas perchè altrimenti potrei rimanere offesa)

 

E vaffanculo, beccatevi HEARTACHE EVERY MOMENT

 

From lashes to ashes
And from lust to dust
In your sweetest torment
I'm lost
And no heaven can help us
Ready, willing and able
To lose it all
For a kiss so fatal
And so warm

Oh it's heartache every moment
From the start till the end
It's heartache every moment
With you
Deeper into our heavenly suffering
Our fragile souls are falling
It's heartache every moment
Baby with you

And we sense the danger
But don't wanna give up
There's no smile of an angel
Without the wrath of God

Oh it's heartache every moment
From the start till the end
It's heartache every moment
With you
Deeper into our heavenly suffering
Our fragile souls are falling
It's heartache every moment
Baby with you
My darling with you

From lashes to ashes
And from lust to dust
In your sweetest torment
I am lost
And we sense the danger
But don't wanna give up

Oh it's heartache every moment
From the start till the end
It's heartache every moment
With you
Deeper into our heavenly suffering
Our fragile souls are falling
It's heartache every moment
Baby with you
That's right

UN PETALO DI PIETA' Il giorno che verrà la pena toglierà Il Fato che tu scegli Può Dio trovarci svegli? Il Signore con la frusta Il quesito senza risposta Il veleno nelle vene – dal martirio sorge il bene Che tu creda che tu possa tornerai dalla fossa Per quel Regno che si chiama per cui Dio affonda la lama Che tu possa che tu creda che tu un’alba nuova veda Per quel Regno che si invoca oramai con voce fioca Il Creato tra le doglie non temere nuove soglie Il Regno che consola un cappio alla gola Il pastore nella vigna tra gli ulivi la vergogna Potrà Cristo perdonare questo immenso perdurare Trenta soldi per l’inferno per l’agnello appeso al legno Una fonte che disseta troppo tardi per la méta Trenta soldi per l’abisso per poter scorgere il nesso Tra l’inizio e la fine la salvezza appesa a un crine Un petalo di pietà.
