Sonata Arctica - Flag In The Ground

Sonata Arctica is a Finnish power metal band from the town of Kemi, originally assembled in 1996. A few days ago did Sonata visit Stockholm again for a show, this was the last gig on "The Days Of Grays Tour" so it was a little special. They toured with Winterborn (Another Finish Band) and Delain (Dutch Power Metal Band). It was great day/evening with loads of pranks, so it was lots of fun. Same crew as the last 5 times (i think) i have done Sonata, so that was great, chatting, laughing and talking about ski resorts in Levi and how the color on the houses over there is done...lol. Had some time to take some pictures.







Some Sonata Fans.


Sonata members are

Elvis - Lawdy Miss Clawdy

Elvis Aaron Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977), a was an American singer and actor. A cultural icon, he is widely known by the single name Elvis. In addition, he is often referred to as the King of Rock and Roll or simply the King. And i guess no more presentation is needed of this man.



Earlier this week it was a show at Rival, a tribute to the King "Elvis Forever" with Henrik Åberg (born 1976, a Swedish singer who won TV4:s competition program "Sikta mot stjärnorna" 1995, where he imitate Elvis Presleys song Blue Hawaii.) and Jack Baymoore (a Rockabilly singer) It was a pleasant evening with loads of classic Elvis tune.

Todays tune "Lawdy Miss Clawdy" is a song by Lloyd Price. It was first recorded by Price at the New Orleans recording studio of Specialty Records in March of 1952. It was released under the Specialty label in April and was number one on the Billboard rhythm and blues chart for seven weeks and stayed on the chart for six months. An 8-bar blues with a rolicking piano backup, with the words written by Price, but the melody adapted from the older Junker Blues (Champion Jack Dupree, 1941), it became the biggest rhythm and blues hit of the year and sold over one million copies by crossing over to the white record-buying market. It was the first hit from New Orleans to be accepted into rock and roll. The word lawdy means Lord. In 1956 the song was covered by Elvis Presley and stayed on the charts for ten weeks. And many others have covered this tune, even my house band Led Zeppelin did this one (in concert, 1970-72). Enjoy!

I didnt have the opportunity to se them all :/
But I saw In Flames, That was really a ball!
The lights was fantastic, designed by Morgan Brown.
Saw a new light that I didnt see b4,
I think the name of it was Showgun, fantastic light.
Both a spot and a circle outside the spot with small lamps.
Great effect!

Of course was the bang and the boom and the fire there.
Almost the same as at Annexet last time I saw them.

The crowd was totally magic, Anders maked the jump through the floor
Specielly on this very song that i took from another concert.
And at the beginning they lighted their cell phone so it looked
like a heaven full of stars..speakless.

I took a bunch of pictures but the camera isnt here
:/ at the moment so I guess i´ll put in another In Flames
tune soon and get in some pics.

Okey Enjoy and jump to this fantastic tune!!!

Headbang motha´f...er, Thetania
