72 - "Auctioned" is the sole clean-vocals-only song in DT's history.

Siren · December 29th, 2005, 09:00 PM

What about Day to End?

RampageSword · December 29th, 2005, 09:10 PM

^I must admit I forgot about that one when I wrote that fact....My mistake.

72 - "Auctioned" and "Day to End" are the two sole clean-vocals-only songs in DT's history

Blitzkrieg Pajo · December 30th, 2005, 05:19 AM

isn't "Mine Is The Grandeur..." an instrumental song, too? although it kind of belongs to "... Of Melancholy Burning" it is still a single track on the CD.

was just thinking the same

King Chaos · December 30th, 2005, 05:41 AM

73 - Michael Nicklasson wears an obscene t-shirt saying "Fuck you, you fucking fuck!"
74 - About 8 months ago Niklas Sundin sported a rather emo/X\core hair cut.
75 - Anders Jivarp blew the straw house and the stick house away with ease, but he was fucked out of breath when he got to the stone house. Next time mate, next time.

You forgot "Mine Is The Grandeur"... And "archetype" if one would count it in. Not to mention Midwinter (on the "Tranquillity" demo), but it's more of a intro.

what about in sight?

(and the live version of misery in me, if it counts...)

Siren · December 30th, 2005, 11:24 AM

and we're not even to 100 yet.

76. Niklas used to be blonde but now sports black hair.
77. Niklas has a target-like tattoo on his chest.
78. Mikael has a "redhead" tattoo on his belly.
79. Martin H. has lots of cool tattoos.
80. Michael has a "dark tranquillity" tattoo among his many.
81. Niklas seems to stay more sober than the others.
82. There's photographic evidence of passed out from booze DT members.
83. Sambuca and beer are liked by the band.

I knew about "Mine is the Grandeur" but I consider it the intro to "...Of Melancholy Burning" As for Archetype, it's not really a DT song more than an experiment with keyboards and finally I also think Midwinter is more of an intro than a song in itself.

@Delirious : Crap, I think I'm starting to lose it...I forgot about that one too...One more like that and I'll lose every bit of whatever credibility I had

King Chaos · January 2nd, 2006, 07:45 AM

84. They started the band when they were very young and were hoping to be the next pet shop boys... with guitars.
85. Henriksson has big mean dreadlocks and when he does a windmill, they combine forces to make one big killer sausage dread, which I'd wager has the power to cave in walls if swung with the right intensity and timing.
86. It is at least one of the members' dream to swim with dolphins in the ocean off the coast of Daytona.
87. Anders Jivarp is the strongest member of the band, and has probably beaten every member of the band in an arm wrestle at least thrice.
88. They have a song about and inspired by the short story "Nightfall" by Isaac Asimov.
89. Niklas Sundin also has some art inspired by imagery of the same short story.
90. If you put all of Dark Tranquillitys albums next to each other, and look at it from a distance, it makes you really happy.

metta4 · January 6th, 2006, 08:20 PM

91 - Where's Fredrik Johansson
92 - Fans do not post many photos of Anders or Martin B

plintus · January 6th, 2006, 08:33 PM

92.5. Martin B. goes under "our Martin".
93. Anders and Martin B. have the same cellphones (as mine, too).

84-90 = LOL. Especially #90 =)))

Magrathean · January 12th, 2006, 03:48 AM

Yes, #90 was amazing.

94. DT has over 120 songs, which isn't all that much for a band that's been around for over 15 years, but still...

95. DT is "the last remaining of the Three Kings".

Ok, yes, i don't have as much sense of humor as KC, but at least i contributed to the 900+ remaining things about DT.

Just from a quick visit to the website:
96) At the time of posting, the homepage features a pic taken by a certain board member, I think...

97) W00t they played a few gigs with At The Gates in 1991

98) Their EP Of Chaos and Eternal Night is probably the best EP in the history of music
99) Anders Jivarp had some problems with his back some time ago, so he couldnt play real fucking fast, but it seems hes fine and blasting

100) DT is simply a cool band

Cuthalion · January 12th, 2006, 08:06 AM

101) D.T. are too lazy to write tour diaries and complete their web page

Siren · January 12th, 2006, 08:31 AM

102. DT will reportedly complete their webpage pretty soon.

marduk1507 · January 12th, 2006, 09:06 AM

103. DT have never had a logo that would honour their mastership
