How to be a good Viking (I think...)

[Captain Beard]

1. Be of Scandanavian descent.
2. Be tall and big.
3. Grow long hair.
4. Grow beard.
5. An attitude definitely helps...
6. Drink beer.
7. Have a sense of HUMOR, for Odin's sake.
8. NO, we didn't have horns on our helmets.
9. You must like swords (and raping, and killing, and burning villages...)

And above ALL ELSE:

10. Vikings MOST CERTAINLY would have listened to metal, if it had existed then... esp. Nevermore, so you have to like metal.

Thank you for your time.

You forgot that you have to be a good farmer.
Yestarday I saw "The 13th Warrior" on TV and I spoted a few other things.
1. You have to drink or wash your face from a bowl, where everyone in your companionship has spitted therein.
2. You will get to fuck (sorry ladies) only blondies.
3. You will laugh when your friends die.
4. If you have an Arab in your companionship, you must tell him to teach you how to "draw sounds" (that is write)
5. If you are fighting the mother of the Ventors you have to take the antidote to her poison if she touches you with her nasty nail.
6. When there is a big storm and you are onboard a Drakkar in the middle of a Wavefull sea, you will be laughing at the Arab who is throwing in.
7. Viking Blondies are one hell of a chick!
8. You are an orphan (I think every Viking is...).
9. You carry a sword which no other man unless he is a Viking can lift.

And above ALL else:
10. Vikings listen only to Viking Metal and esp. Einhejrer, Bathory (Hammerheart), so you have to like metal.

Up the VIKINGS!

Besides beer, vikings also drank blood from the skulls of their killed enemies. That's why scandinavians still have this expression "skål" when raising toast (even Finns use it). My friend told me that the word came from Swedish word skalle which means skull.

Physically you should look like the beast singer from Amon Amarth. That guy is a monster!

Here's the address for the pic of the monster:

[ThePKH]

Ecstatic Youth, I was in tuska festivals where that picture was taken. Singer of Amon Amarth must be the most brutal (sounding and looking) dude in metal genre. I'm not their biggest fans but the show was absolute killer!

 

[CT Thrash]

Hey, Vikings didn't drink beer. They drank mead, which is basically fermented honey. But they did drink a lot, a whole lot. In fact, they stayed drunk most of the time to relieve the pain of their extreme frostbite!

 

[Ecstatic Youth]

Damn, Europe(especially Scandinavia) has all the good shows, tours, and festivals. DAMN YOU AND YOUR GOOD COUNTIRES AND YOUR GOOD SHOWS! DAMN YOU ALL!

Anyway, the guy in Amon Amarth is an absolute monster. I was going to see them in Navember but the tourgot cancelled. So, hopefully i'll see them in January when they come back. Amon Amarth is super heavy and not for everybody. Too much of them gives me head aches sometimes, BUT ONLY SOMETIMES!

 

[ThePKH]

We don't have that much good shows in Finland(except those bands that are from here) if you compare it to for example Germany. I guess Germany is your place when it comes to metal shows and festivals. We have only one little metal festival and in center europe there are many.

Though... nowadays it's little better in Finland. I'm going to see Iced Earth live 19.2.2002. That's pretty something because not much people knows them here (except those I've converted)...

 

[metalized]

Germany is indeed the centre of European music of any kind/scene/genre etc. Those lucky bas... oops (sorry guys it slipped) get to see all the good shows. Here in Greece noone ever comes unless they are really successful.

But you know what? I will be watching BROCAS HELM in a months time. (if you don't know them don't worry, you are very young. You have all the time in the world to find them out).

Classic Metal rules.
