Finland - I salute you

[MarcusGHedwig]

Teaching the ways of metal to your children...with dinosaurs...you are to be commended



EDIT: And why are all the audience members in that one shot holding giant bananas?

 

[MarcusGHedwig]

AND they're playing Rectifiers

 

[AudioPhile777]

Thats my kind of show!

 

[ahjteam]

well, children's music is a big business here and there are actually many rock/metal projects for kids in Finland which all are pretty much based on cover songs with childrens lyrics (for example the "jee hevisaurus" song is based on kiss' "heaven's on fire") and most of the times the guys making are like professional musicians from top of the line bands.




Moottorin Jyrinä



Ratz



Pikku Orava



Hevisaurus



Fröbelin Palikat (this is actually one of the best selling bands in Finland of all time, for real)



Smurffit (the fuckers that started this thing back in 1996 or something, the first album in the series is one of the best selling albums of all time in Finland, selling 5 times platinum and the 17 albums on the series has sold over 750 000 albums, and considering that there is only 5 million people living in Finland, thats a helluva lot)

My God, that's ingenious. The teen groupies would be immense (kinda proven by shots scanning the front row there).

I gotta +1 this And the other video of theirs that Anssi posted is even more ridiculous, since it's a freakin' power ballad they're playing (great song though ) And that fucking squirrel drove me insane, but at least it was metal, I guess

Don't suppose anyone has an answer as to the significance of the bananas?

 

[updog]

Although for some reason, their outfits remind me of these guys and I consider that a bonus :

I'm pretty sure Chiquita is just sponsoring that show or something

 

[Jevil]

Hahahha, nice videos! Hevisaurus are very funny, and finnish language too.

 

[PhilTheBeard]

The Berzerker is amazing! lol

 

[vespiz]

Mirka Rantanen of Thunderstone (& others) is the drummer in Hevisaurus.
According to the latest issue of Riffi (finnish gear/recording mag), he came up with the idea & concept in the first place.

 

[LeSedna]

That is just insane
