annabelle Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 I'm totally mad about them... their music is great, I love the lyrics, and their lead singer Ben's got an amazing voice. How about you? You like them? Love them? Hate them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Beauty Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 I absolutely love them!!! Wish I could go to the US and catch them and MCR together now, but at least I'll get to see them this summer on the Norwegian Wood- festival!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diana Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 I like them!! Took me a while to get used to the singer's voice though but now I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annabelle Posted March 31, 2008 Author Share Posted March 31, 2008 Glad you like them. I saw them last year, they were performing at the Frequency festival in Salzburg, and all I can say is that they are truly phenomanal live. I had so much fun. Here are some pictures: Savage Beauty- I'm kind of jelaous 'cause you'll see them. You're gonna have SO much fun, you'll see. I hope they will come to the Exit festival (because this is the only festival I'm going to this year), and even more I hope that they will have an individual concert somewhere near our country. Cause I'm so gonna be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Beauty Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 I can't wait!!! I bought a festival pass just to see that one band :roftl: It's so going to be worth it though!!! Oh, I'm Lyss by the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annabelle Posted April 1, 2008 Author Share Posted April 1, 2008 Well Lyss (nice to meet you, btw:)) they're definitely worth buying a festival pass. When exactly is this festival taking place? Which song do you like most? (lots of questions:cool: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which song do you like most? (lots of questions:cool: ) you too! *shake hand* the festival is the 12-15 June, and Billy Talent plays that Saturday Along with a Norwegian band called Madrugada (which are also brilliant), Paramore and Rufus Wainwright. I thiiiiink... oh touch choise.. Right now my favourites are Red Flag and Try Honesty.. but it changes according to mood and such Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annabelle Posted April 2, 2008 Author Share Posted April 2, 2008 ^^It's funny to read how you needed time to get used to Ben's voice. Am I really the only one who loved it from the very first second? It's just so different, specific and special. So Lyss, if I understand correctly you have to decide between BT, Rufus, Paramore and Madrugada? I'm telling you- Billy Talent is the right choice. There's no way you can regret that. Red flag is absolutely brilliant...but then again all the songs from their second album are...it is impossible to decide for just one. But one of their absolute best is definitely River Below. I'm sick and I'm twisted I'm broken you can't fix it Don't make me, cause I'll do it Red button and we'll all go Into the river below...I'm running from the inferno... They'll think I'm insane, but you'll all know my name! Into the river below...I'm running from the inferno... I'll take all the blame, the front page and the fame!

Savage Beauty Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Oh, it's not really a choice at all.. I'm seeing Billy Talent no matter what. The other concerts I'm seeing there will only be the ones NOT colliding with BT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage Beauty Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Oooooooooohhhhhhhhh gosh. I'm so jelaous! I want a full report, you hear me? Do you have any pictures or videos? Believe me- it will take some time to get down to earth.:naughty:I know it took me a lot of time to land back. Full report coming up! In several parts due to image-restriction About half an hour before Billy Talent were due on stage I made my way to the stage again to secure a good spot, and ended up right in front of the stage, in the middle. Loads of hyped up people there who were just as eager as me and had been waiting just as long to finally get to see them, and when the band finally made it onstage, it was worth all the years of waiting, and all the money spent on the ticket!! It was BRILLIANT!! The energy, the music, the tightness of the band, the songs I love so much.. Everyone were singing along, the band seemed more and more thrilled to play the further into the concert they came, and the weather was brilliant, the weather was brilliant, and though I had promised my mates not to mosh (bad back), I just couldn't help myself :-P They played all my favourite songs; Try Honesty, Surrender, The Navy Song, Fallen Leaves, Devil in a midnight mass, and a brand new song as well which was brilliant :-D Ben was completely hyped up by the festival and the weather and the crowd and seemed to be enjoying himself immensely on stage, which was also obvious between the songs where he talked for minutes at a time. He told us he wanted to swap Sweden for America so Canada and Norway could join up and be neighbours instead, cos we reminded him so much of Canada, how every single girl he'd seen in Norway was attractive (cliché, but he said it in such a way that it sounded like he meant it a little bit at least ) but how not one of us had looked at him when he was walking down the street the previous day. He told us that they had been in Norway 3 times now and were blown away by the audience every time and swore to come back as soon as the new album is out. He asked us how we felt about Rufus Wainwright who played before them, and when some people in the audience boo'ed, he said "Don't boo that dude, he has the "effin" voice of an angel I tell ya!" I have to admit, I've never bothered much with the members of the band, I never do... I always focus on the music and the bandmembers are just there to play it, but I DID develop a tiny crush on him after that concert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Beauty Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 They ended the set with my favourite song, RED FLAG, and the crowd went MENTAL!!! At least I did, I can't really remember what happened around me at that time But yeah, Iiiiiiiiii went kinda nuts Couldn't help myself, I'd been waiting for so many years So, pictures and videos: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage Beauty Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 After the concert I went up the hill to wait for the next band at the festival (of which I saw 5 minutes before going home), and I was surrounded by nothing but 50+ year- olds (boring next band you see). Stood there for a few minutes before I head a sour voice behind me "What, is this the official EMO day or something??" And you're right.. I still haven't landed back down on earth!! I'll live on this until my next concert.. which is MIKA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

annabelle Posted June 24, 2008 Author Share Posted June 24, 2008 Wow, Lyss, this is such a great, great report! I love every single bit of it...I can imagine how amazing and unforgettable it must have been. I can't wait to see them again. Thanks for everything. I have to admit, I've never bothered much with the members of the band, I never do... I always focus on the music and the bandmembers are just there to play it, but I DID develop a tiny crush on him after that concert Ben is effing hot! I mean, how could you not like him?? He's cute, smart and he has one of the most amazing voices in the whole world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Beauty Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 I know, I can't believe I haven't noticed him before.. that's what you get for not bothering with pictures of the bands you like Glad you liked the report Some screeenshots from the concert (which can be seen in its entirety HERE (If you see a couple of black and white stripey gloves, they're probably me ) My favourite quote from the concert; Bill: (About Rufus W.)

iadoremika Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 I almost started a new thread -- until I used the handy search function. Just wanted to drop in and say that I like their music! They're good live as well. I didn't go to a concert but saw them at the MMVAs a couple years ago peforming Fallen Leaves. I was near the front, but you can only see me briefly. And only if you look carefully. I have pics somewhere as well. And here's their rooftop performance, of Rusted From The Rain, from this year's MMVAs.
