Why...

i think it's something to do with the government and in the schools.
scandinavian countries always prided themselves of being up-to-date and very liberal. so they encourage their youth to try out every new, interesting, brilliant form of expression they can come up with, giving them both the means and the time to pursue their interests.

... and for all those who still are not creative enough, well, there's always heavy metal. :D :p :p

if you were so cool up there you'd have decent prices on beer and stuff :p
but yes, the scandinavians i know are pretty cool indeed.
 
"Swedish is a fascinating and expressive language. It is also a melodic language, admittedly difficult to pronounce like a native because of its characteristic sing-song rhythm..."

Hmmm i agree with rahvin on this, what he said is one of the reasons for sure...
When ppl are told all their lives they should become doctors or lawyers, or at least become "educated" (ie go to uni), it's not exactly easy to seriously get involved in the "entertaining" business for many reasons (i mean not as a proffesion anyway).

Someone in Sentenced I think said that it's so dark and depressing up here that either you slit your wrists and kill yourself or you start a metal band.

Heh, I've seen phyre use that quote about 10 times since I registered here :D

Anyhoo, this is my last post in a few weeks. 21 hours, 41 minutes until DT concert. :headbang:

Have fun at the concert... and good luck wherever you are going for the next few weeks. Be back soon. :)


As for why there are so many metal bands in the North, I have no idea...

:lol:

Hmm... it's depressing, cold, and dark where I live. No one has tried to start bands. They mostly just commit suicide here...

The metal bands have the better idea.

phyre should put that Sentenced quote in his signature. :p
 
wait wait... i was merely joking with that school & government stuff... :rolleyes:
anyway i don't really get why someone would pick starting a metal band when the other option is slitting his wrists. :)

phyre: i've seen swedish schools :p
hope you have much fun, come back soon :)

all: the weather thing must be true too, i could expand on this subject quite a bit but i better not ;)
