Because I can take an educated guess.

[(__Joonas__)]

There's no such thing. Elaborate? At least I come up with some odds that make sense, you can't deny it

[AlixSB]

Your theory is also a guess. Your so called "odds" are complete nuisence. I could concur that my facts are that I'm sure Alexi doesnt base his song names and videos based on celebrity names. I'm not trying to be a dick or anything. I know everyone is anticipating the new album, but that theory was laughable. But I know what people are like in this forum.....

So we shall all accept that Alexi and the rest of the band used the name ' Was it worth it' based on Keyshia Cole's song be it subconsciously or not. And that the band again 'subconsciously or not' decided to look for a skateboarder for there video with the closest possible name to Keyshia Cole. Fine.

[(__Joonas__)]

When did I say Alexi based his song title on a celebrity? I said there is at least 1% chance (contrary to your 0%) that Alexi googled for Chris Cole and the Keyshia Cole video Was It Worth It popped onto his screen, and just maybe subconsciously it came up from his mind later when he was thinking about the title for COB song video with skateboarding. Based on the sheer unlikeliness that two different music videos have same surname and same song title. I'm fully alright if it's just coincidence, even if they probably have no relation, it's perfectly normal those things happen. Rarely is a song title so unique you can't find it anywhere else on google. Somehow the un-uniqueness of the song title increases the odds in my mind. But again, who cares, the COB WIWI will be the only song with such title anyone knows when it comes out... this is a waste of time.

[AlixSB]

So let me get this straight for everyone.

Alexi went onto google
Alexi searched for Chris Cole (his daily googling of skateboarders for his videos)
Alexi found Keyshia Cole's video 'Was it worth it'
Alexi named one of his songs based on this 'subconsciously or not'

Your theory speaks for itself my friend.

[(__Joonas__)]

Roope on the new album:

"It's so massive everyone will shit themselves. Big sound. It's promising, great, fast, songs are good."

In Flames also used the "big sound" description for their newest album A Sense Of Purpose.

Do I have to wrench the letters from railways so you'll understand. This is not the philosophy thread so let it go man, people might actually be reading this.

[AlixSB]

Funny. You came up with the theory. So calm it Plato

[(__Joonas__)]

I'm trying to calm you... You almost got it straight, but the last part... you can't say someone based something on subconsciousness, because basing would not be sub-conscious thinking anymore, unless it emerged in dreams.

[AlixSB]

Again what you have just written is dribble. "you can't say someone based something on subconsciousness". You clearly havn't understood what I was saying. Firstly I stated "Alexi named one of his songs based on this 'subconsciously or not'" This is referring to Keyshia Cole's song ' Was it worth it' IN CLEAR ENGLISH NOW. It does make sense that you CAN base something on something else (in this case Keyshia Cole's song) subconsciously. Its the act of doing so without awareness. "because basing would not be sub-conscious thinking anymore'. I understand that. But basing subconsciously like I previously stated is doing so without awareness.

-the totality of mental processes of which the individual is not aware; unreportable mental activities.

Also if you could leave a first name so I can know who to reference when I write my article. Thanks guys.

Not to mention the fact that they're actually interacting with their fans a fuckton which is more than can be said for BODOM

[(__Joonas__)]

Here's the part of 69 Eyes' latest album's making of where you have the band commenting on what Matt Hyde did to their music and an interview of the guy himself:

You Tube

Alexi already said the new album is more guitar riff oriented, same thing you can hear on this video right before Matt's speech, so it's a bit concerning, but I dig the guy and hope this time he did get into the keyboard world and didn't strip it down too much. I'm not saying the same stuff is gonna happen, especially as COB has been ripped off prominent keyboards since FTR, but a reference point anyway.

69 Eyes used to be a rock band like this, then they developed the atmospheric goth style with keyboards and stuff that made them great, now with this album they lost the magic. But this time their songwriting was weaker too. But I don't see how stripping down the automatic atmosphere boost of keyboards compensates for bad songwriting... I guess be good at whatever you do, and when you have nothing it's easy to make simple rock sound alright.

-Expectations for the album: I could give you an analytical thought line based on facts we already know (it's all over this thread especially the last few pages), or I could give you the fact the band has held fans in almost total black out concerning their new album, and anyone can draw their own conclusions from that.

-The song titles, if they are indeed the final versions, are something we've not seen from the band before. Especially the title of the new video track Was It Worth It is something you couldn't have expected from this band. Usually their song titles are more subjective. However, the titles refer to the album style being quite dark, as stated by the band.

-The tracks were completely recorded before the current tour started - it's all done.

Thanks a lot for the info might I ask you a first and last name so I know who to quote in my article?

I couldn't find any press releases for Protest the Hero, which is what this assignment is based off of or believe me I would have Don't get me wrong though, I still love Bodom.

I don't know 69 Eyes, but this is what I got from it:
They have no keyboard player in the band, so it's all recorded and not reproduced live. Hyde wanted to focus more on what the band itself is, which is guitar oriented.

The difference with CoB? CoB does have a keyboard player so that means he can't restrict them to guitars for that reason.

Interacting is nice, yeah.. but if you mean via internet.. well especially that should be left to the band members themselves. They dont owe you anything. If they chill with you after the gig that's great, if you get this *they 're really down to earth buddies*feeling but you can't expect them to do that. Of course it is awesome that they make money with playing and recording music and that they shoudlnt complain too much about a hard life because that sounds crazy to people with shit jobs but I dont dislike a band if they dont send me emails or stuff.

From Facebook:

Video shoot yesterday somewhere in north Pennsylvania. First time we actually didn´t get bored while waiting the next scene. Entertainment was provided, thanks guys. More info soon.

Was this another video or the skateboarding one?

Oct 5 Louisville gig
Oct 6 North Pennsylvania filming video
Oct 7 Philadelphia gig

Geographically they're close. But I thought they filmed the video before Wednesday...
