Significantly more than 1000 things you've noticed about Dark Tranquillity -

[La Rocque]

137 - Dark Tranquillity will headline shows for the first time in the USofA next month -

 

[GONE Ridin' Hood]

138. Dark Tranquillity played once in Costa Rica (Come again!)

139. If I am not utterly mistaken, CR has been the only Latin-American country they have ever been to (if not please correct me).

 

[Magrathean]

They've been to Mexico too. And to some places in South America, if i recall correctly.

 

[King Chaos]

140 - Most metal fans know Niklas sundin for his keen eye and art than for his fast finger work in DT.

141 - If every member of DT took on Tony Jaa in a 6 man beatdown, Tony Jaa would break their legs and send them packing. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5160687959094960616&q=tony+jaa amazing.

142: According to an interview w/ Blabbermouth yuk: ) DT's are put together as follows:

'Martin H: "We write the riffs at home, usually me or Anders. Then I put together stuff in a basic structure that we work on together at the rehearsal place where we add stuff until it's completed."'

 

[GONE Ridin' Hood]

They've been to Mexico too. And to some places in South America, if i recall correctly.

Yeah, I figured so, but Mexico doesn't count as Latin America, so DT has only been to 1 country in Latin Am., and that is... Costa Rica!!! :Spin: :Spin: :Spin:

So how can I put the pics? Does anybody know?

 

[Hitori]

what?? what is Mexico then, if not Latin America? from wikipedia:Latin America (See also Ibero-America and Use of the word American) is the subregion of the Americas where Romance languages derived from Latin are officially or primarily spoken. Alternatively, Latin America is typically contrasted with Anglo-America where English, a Germanic language, predominates.

 

[Magrathean]

*points at Hitori* What she said. So Latin America is all of America except for Canada, the USA and Greenland.

Wow. I would have expected that from someone from the USA (a lot of them are that stupid), but from a latin american?

Besides, they've been to other latin american countries, not just Mexico and CR.

143 - They've got over 100 songs and only 6 videos.

144 - Not counting reissues / special editions, they've got 8 full-length albums and 6 eps (counting "Enfeebled Earth").

145 - They used to be called Septic Broiler back in the time when they weren't really serious about their music.

146 - "Enfeebled Earth" is underrated, even by DT members.

147 - They've covered and released five songs, all by different artists.

148 - At least 6 different bands/persons have covered songs by DT.

 

[Dark_Silence]

i thought Mexico was Central America

 

[Magrathean]

No, no, no...

See, South America is everything from Venezuela down. Central America is everything from Guatemala to Panama. And North America is Greenland (although that should be part of Europe, since it belongs to Denmark), Canada, the USA and Mexico. Since americans (i.e. people from the USA) dislike latin americans, including mexicans, they say Mexico is in Central America / South America (i've heard both versions) so that they don't have to share a continent with us (which is stupid, since North America, Central America and South America are parts of the same continent; Southeast Asia, Central Asia and Russia aren't different continents, are they?).

Now, Latin America isn't a region, but rather all of the countries in America which were colonized by countries that speak languages that evolved from latin (Brazil was colonized by Portugal, where they speak portuguese, which evolved from latin; and the rest of Latin America was colonized by Spain, where they speak spanish, which evolved from latin). So Mexico, Central America (except for Belize), South America and the countries of the Caribbean are all part of Latin America.

Hope that clears things up.

149 - If you burn an mp3 cd with every song DT has ever released, you'll need two cds.

 

[Dark_Silence]

ok, thanks . I lived for 9 months in the USA as an exchange student. I guess thats why I got it all mixed up

 

[Blitzkrieg Pajo]

FFS why do you consider Greenland in a discussion about America? It belongs to Denmark! Although it is situated close to america why should you talk about an unimportant land like greenland anyway?

No you won't you horrible little burner you can easily fit them in one cd
it all depends on the mp3 quality (128kbps,192kbps etc)
Not that i have tried burning them of course :Smug:

 

[solefald]

150: One of the member as a "Dark Tranquillity" Tattoo on his arm..guess which one

 

[King Chaos]

151: People pretend to be DT on Myspace to make loads of friends and get loads of comments haha.
152: If Niklas Sundin wanted, he could probably be a published author, aswell as a published graphic designer and Musician.
153: If every DT fan in the world jumped up in the air at the same time, they would not land with enough force to cause an earthquake. Shame.

Jeje my mistake my mistake. I don't know why but I was thinking of Mexico as North America (as it actually is) and bla bla bla bla I got confused, sorry. Don't be mad at me... . Just joking, do whatever you want.

139.2: Costa Rica has been the only Central-American country DT has ever been to.

 

[marduk1507]

154. The clean vocals in Through Ebony Archways were performed by Anna-Kaisa Avehall and Mikael Stanne.

 

[Magrathean]

BP: Because, as far as i know, it's considered part of America.

Cuthalion: Well, i usually burn good quality mp3s (192Kb/s).

LBRH: I'm not mad at you. I never was.

155. On January 22nd 2006 Niklas S. on behalf of dark tranquillity honored mySpace with putting up a page there under "dtofficial". Finally
