So I was in Italy for 2 weeks...

[AnTz0r]

...and i wanted to get a nice souvenir: Novembrine Waltz :hotjump: The stores in the Netherlands don't have it, and I thought it would make a nice souvenir, didn't feel like buying it from the internet.

1st store in Verona was the best: the guy actually knew them! But they didn't carry it. He told me to go to fnac.

2nd store:

Me: I'm looking for a cd by an Italian metal band called Novembre
Guy: ......
Guy: ......
Guy: We don't have that
Then:
Guy: Do you want Lacuna Coil? Or you should get some Necrodeath. We also got the Linkin Park cd...

3th store:

Me: I'm looking for a cd by an Italian metal band called Novembre
Girl: ......
Girl: Uh, I'll look it up in the computer
Girl: Yes, I can order it for you, you will have to wait until september...

4th store:

Me: I'm looking for a cd by an Italian metal band called Novembre
Girl: ......
Girl: ......
Girl: We don't have that
Then:
Girl: Do you want Lacuna Coil?

Fuck them, it's a band from their own country for Christ sake

give an oportunity to internet shops theyre not that bad

 

[Pierrot]

Ahhahahahah did you really think you would find their albums in Italy?it's not like that Did you look for them only in Verona?

 

[Nostalgiaplatz]

I am curious to know what did you think of Italy, what city were you at? I am very curious about italy and willing to go there someday

 

[Divatkreació]

My god, that's pretty dull
I even found Dreams D'Azur from couple of finnish stores, so why is it so hard to find one from their native land?!

 

[Pierrot]

We also got the Linkin Park cd...

anyway this is the best part

 

[AnTz0r]

yea i know...

i tried it in 4 big stores. 2 in verona, 1 in Brescia, 1 in Milano in the galleria Vittoria Emmannuelle II.

Italy... beautiful towns. Rome is the best. You can easily stay there and not get bored (if you like seeing churches go for a month ). If you don't like art, or when you don't know classics, it's not even half as fun tho...

This time I didn't spend time visiting museums and towns, because I was in a group and we did other stuff every day. I only went sightseeing in Verona, and did a short tour of Milano, but it was sunday and shops were closed. I had a day to check out Brescia, but there is not much to see there.

Be advised that most people in stores for example speak little English or none at all, except for places with many tourists. In Brescia I came nowhere with English, and in Verona and Milano it was much better.

 

[Pierrot]

Milano is big,you should have tried some other stores..there are also some stores that sell only alternative/metal music..

 

[AnTz0r]

yeah but I was in a group, we were short on time, it was sunday (shops closed) and I had no idea where to find those shops...

 

[Pierrot]

what a pity : (

 

[AnTz0r]

yea well, the new record will probably be easily available here. maybe i can even get novembrine waltz when im in amsterdam sometime, which should be soon. but getting it in italy would have made it a bit more special, you know

 

[songless]

Why to pay 16/17€ for the cd when you can order it in a Internet shop by 12/13 or better, in eBay for 7/8€ ????

 

[Pierrot]

they usually even cost 20€ -___-
I' ve noticed that only now:

Vittoria Emmannuelle

You doubled all the consonants It's Emanuele

 

[Nostalgiaplatz]

Quote:
Vittoria Emmannuelle


You doubled all the consonants It's Emanuele

Pierrot, are you on acids? I can't find that written anywhere, where's that taken from?

 

[Pierrot]

what? I' ve always know it's Vittorio Emanuele II.. Am I wrong?

 

[AnTz0r]

yea well whatever, who cares

 

[WORN_CARILLON]

Pierrot, are you on acids? I can't find that written anywhere, where's that taken from?

Pierrot's always on acids
However you'll surely find Novembre cds on Ebay or some internet mailorder/distribution, it's always the best way

 

[Pierrot]

Pierrot's always on acids

 

[erishkigal]

I saw Classica here in New Zealand.
