It's Official: HAMMERFALL Have Made The Cheesiest Video In Heavy Metal History
- Jan. 29, 2006
|
|
HAMMERFALL recently joined forces with the Swedish women's Olympic curling team to shoot a new video for their track "Hearts On Fire", a song from the group's 2002 album, "Crimson Thunder". The track has been reissued as a single in Sweden to give a "boost" to the team as they prepare for the Winter Olympics next month in Turin. "In preparation for the Olympic Games in February, we joined forces with one of Sweden's brightest hopes for a gold medal," said HAMMERFALL guitarist Oscar Dronjak in a statement posted on the band's web site. "With heavy metal as a source of strength, the girls can now focus on bringing home the gold." According to ChartAttack.com, the video features the team led by Anette Norberg pitted against the metalheads, who have few curling skills but know how to have a good time. Mayhem ensues when rocks and brooms go flying and a drum kit appears on the ice. By the end of the video, the athletes have turned in their team uniforms for the leather and studs duds that inexplicably remain popular among rockers. "The video was a blast to record, an attitude shared by everyone involved. The result is an amusing and, for us, a little unusual video," stated Dronjak. You can now watch this utterly ridiculous clip online: Windows Media, Quicktime.

That is the dumbest thing I have ever seen. And what the fuck kind of band are these guys? 80's bands like motley crue gone swedish?? Sounds pretty gay to me, especially that lead singer, good god that guys voice is just fucking annoying.

so naturally they're considered cheesy. That seems to be the reasoning some people have.
Just my opinion of course, but Hammerfall kicks ass. I have all their albums and saw them open up for Dio. I also had the pleasure of meeting guitarist Oscar Dronjak(sic) and he was nice enough to take a few minutes to talk to me and my friends and answer questions, etc. Nice guy!

hammerfall DOES own, and they look absolutely hilarious doing it. i have such a hard time taking this sub genre seriously, which sucks because there is a whole lot of good material within...but so much of it is so damn cheesy. i hope i never see a brainstorm or falconer video...because i'm sure it would just ruin the bands for me.

Yes this is fun, this is just a fun video made for the women asked hammerfall if they would like to a official video for them, and hammerfall said yes. Why not ? They are brave who does not care what people say, just laughting and made a stupid video. To bad some people have no humor, or are to stupid to understand the meaning of this video, I feel sorry for you. But I think those people are the same who thinks that real metal is slipknot, limpink shit, körn, and all the other lame ass gay non talented musicans baggypants fuckheads so called m u s i c.

I don't like most power metal with the exception of Rhapsody, Dragonforce, Helloween and a few others and I don't like Hammerfall because they put me to sleep, but still they're a lot better than any of the mainstream bands. I'd rather watch one of their videos or listen to one of their songs than listen to Limp Bizkit, Korn, Avenged Sevenfold or any of that crap. This whole "let's all piss on power metal" trend is just stupid.

Sure Hammerfall are a cool band and sure the video is simply a joke but you gotta laugh at something that silly. And that video is fuckin silly. I don't agree its the cheesiest video in metal history though. That (dis)honor would probably go to Alice Cooper's Welcome To My Nightmare. Now that's major fuckin Cheese with a capital "C."

I don't like HammerFall's music but they don't half have a sense of humour. :D
The knockers are most likely spotty 15-year-olds teeny rebels who listen to "br00tal" metal to annoy their parents. The rest have little sense of humour themselves and probably think HF take it seriously.

Pantera is "metalcore"????? WHat the fuck is wrong with you dude. They were around before you'r so called "metal-core" genre ever existed. You are a stupid stupid stupid waste of space. Speaking of adding the word "core" to everything as if its an insult. I don't think I have ever heard Pantera do a song with a Hardcore beat & cheese ball breakdown EVER!!! Metal bands have always had "breakdowns" but its not the same as Hardcore Bands. And as for punching Air..... My friend I've been to shows that you would cry for mommy at. I am glad I like both Hardcore and Metal and pretty much any heavy music for that matter. YOu can be close minded and hate on shit all you want. ANd yes alot of power metal is cheesey but alot of it is also good. I like all kinds of music. Rhapsody is considerd the cheesiest shit by some but I like that shit too. But please do us a favor and stick you'r bullshit labels up your ass. Its so easy to hate and be trendy with the "THis and that sucks". WHy don't you actually try to LISTEN to something and I mena really listen to it and then form an opinion ad maybe even try and think of positive and negative shit about it. I mean do you really think pantera is cheesey and hammerfall is not???? Cmon man give me a break. And old dudes need to get over the fact that old metal styles have changed and the new bands that have inherited some of the skills of old (and there are bands like that) are driving for their own sound and just b/c its different doesn't make it "core". You sound like a bunch of old assholes from the 60's and 70's telling everyone else how your generation is better then theirs and you'r Frampton Records are the ends of the earth. In other words open your fucking ears and try something else. Life progresses so get over it.

Actually, "badbrother" Eurometal is starting pick up over here 'cause all the kids are starting to figure out that not only is it catchy, it's written by talented musicians and it's influenced by the 80s (which are super chic if you haven't noticed). And, again since you're so far behind, you'd notice that actually Korn, Disturbed, Rob Zombie and all that shit is starting to really take a hit in the market. Kids are figuring out that it's boring and they've become saturated in it.
Now, granted, Hammerfall will never be big over here, but they're a big joke anyway.. so it's no surprise.
This video is fucking hilarious.

...and you really don't think the fact that the vast majority of the western population speaks english, but not german, french, danish, swedish, etc. has anything to do with that?
High production values in American media are definitely a factor, I'll give you that, but writing ability isn't even a remote one. Having lived in three European countries for extended periods of time (and learned each respective language) I can tell you flat out that there's plenty of local media that far surpasses the "average" American one, but never makes it overseas for the simple reason that it's made in the native language. Sitcoms and sketch shows are prime examples, but it's far from limited to just those. I'm not taking away from American media in the slightest, but writing ability and talent sure as hell isn't limited by geography. Same goes for bands, who have a far harder time being noticed by Warner Bros. and Sony's agents when playing in Oslo than on the Sunset Strip. And you can imagine how hard it is to market a french rap band in an english speaking world.

Yeah, and neither does anyone else...I've been to these so-called "underground" shows and it's like 20 sweaty 35 year-olds with their shirts off, drinking Pabst Blue Ribbon and putting their arms around each other...
But oh no, the American metal concert with the hot gals showing off their jugs and joints being passed around, that's the "fagcore" you all talk about...

""...and you really don't think the fact that the vast majority of the western population speaks english, but not german, french, danish, swedish, etc. has anything to do with that?""
American shows snd movies are dubbed in many languages and are still as popular as ever. Did you ever think about that?? It's the content and quality, not the language factor (that matters most). People want to see comedy and action a lot more than they want to see some bullshit 'cultural nonsense' from a nation of has-been and retards, like the Germans or French people. Maybe you need to realize this, first and foremost. Americans know how to reach an audience and the Europeans don't have a clue. I guess when you have to subsidize your entire entertainment industry just to keep up with anything in America, it sure does produce stale and uninventive productions that nobody really wants to see.
""High production values in American media are definitely a factor, I'll give you that, but writing ability isn't even a remote one.""
That's your opinion and I'll take the real numbers, over your opinion.
""Having lived in three European countries for extended periods of time (and learned each respective language) I can tell you flat out that there's plenty of local media that far surpasses the "average" American one, but never makes it overseas for the simple reason that it's made in the native language.""
And how do you know what the 'average America one' consists of?? You've been everywhere in America? You know their writing is better, how? Good to see that you can speak your mind, but you are not even close to reality. America produces a lot of crap and they produce a lot of great shows/movies/whatever. What country doesn't, including the fact that America puts out like 800 movies a year? The cream rises to the top and the crap sinks to the bottom. It's called supply and demand, and Europe is not even close to dominating any market, since they have no ideas, and the world could care less about them anyway (in these categories, at least). Once again, you don't know and are guessing at best.

""And you can imagine how hard it is to market a french rap band in an english speaking world.""
haha
A frog rap band?? Why would people care about a lame-ass copy, when they can just buy American and get the original (if that was their preference of music)? That's all European media really is... A lame-ass copy of everything American. I mean, it even takes an American production team to make some of the old British sitcoms tolerable for an international audience.
One more thing.. Please stop with this 'Europe thing.' You are individual countries, with different movies and ideas (with a lot more people, as a whole). You are not united and you are not 'all as one.' You are sort-of united by a common currency, but that's about it.
I mean.. You hear Americans taking credit for everything that comes out of Canada, Mexico, Chile or Brazil, because the continent contains the word 'America' in it?? Please!
Just admit it.. Besides some metal bands, the only decent entertainment 'media' comes out of Britain, and that is barely the case as most of theirs suck ass, as well (and they are not even considered 'european' by most, including themselves).

""spooky: The American economy is going to be, to put it bluntly, fucked within the next decade or two.""
Based on what??? Your stupidity, ignorance and lame guesses?? WOW!
I think I'll place my bets on the American economy before any other economy in the world. We float the corrupt and pathetic Eurabian economy (including much of the rest of the world), so if we go down, we're taking a whole bunch of people with us. Know this reality, jackass.
Once the car companies get rid of their corrupt, greedy and blackmailing unions (or their contracts), they will be just fine (or at least a whole heck of a lot better off). Germany has a 12% unemployment rate, with massive numbers of government jobs (with all the unpaid benefits that go with them), and ridiculous amounts of red tape. How are these idiots going to teach us something? Chrysler still runs its own divisions (and is still located in America), and this is why they are doing better and better. How many Kraut car companies moved their facilities here, because we are a much better environment and business model? Tell me, jackass!

Oh and one more thing you loser...... I definitely DEFINITELY remember girls pulling out there tits all the time at Pantera shows and I saw them a ton of times. YEs there was alot of groupies for hairmetal but what can I say girls like gay shit. It doesn't do anything for me. I am not a chick. Highg pitched no nut singing isn't my thing (although I have to honestly admit I don't hate all the songs written out of that scene, just not a big fan). Just stop writing CORE after everything b/c it shows house stupid you are. fucking calling deathmetal "Death-Core" is just plain fucking dumb. Pantera has hardcore breakdowns. No they don't. Especially on domination. Metal influenced the "Hardcore" break down but they are still different. There is barley any riffs in hard core break downs and its mostly 0.....0 0 0 0...... 0 0 ..... 0 0 0 0 and shit like that. Now if you said Soulfly had hardcore breakdowns I'd agree but not Pantera and definitely not domination.

It sounds like you're turning this into an issue of national pride, which this is not about, and I'm not getting into. But anybody can tell you that marketing is the biggest factor by far in this debate, not the quality, and that it's next to impossible to market something internationally that has an inherent language barrier, like comedy and music.

Wait I am bashing the shit head who is saying core after everything b/c it is very beat up and used like ALisha Kalss's Bix but are you guys really fighting over the US economy? Just simplify the argument into Resources b/c thats what its all about, add some over population, then throw in who has the most nukes and it all points to a grim picture for all. US is doing fine. There hasn' been a real shit storm since the stock market crashed (thank you credit) and I am more worried about one of these fuck heads over in the middle east getting a Nuke and killing everyone for Allah although how Ironic if he created everyone in the first place. They are not even really martyrs. You have to die defending your religion, not going on the offense killing innocent people. They disobey their most sacredcommandment and are totally brainwashed. In fact fuck religion and fuck them.

No, I am just telling you about reality. It has nothing to do with national pride, but facts and figures.

Marketing has an effect, but word of mouth and making a product people can enjoy (across most cultural barrier lines) has an even bigger effect. Of course marketing takes a lot of money, and since you make shitty products (with little to no widespread audience appeal), you are going to have no money for marketing. All you are doing is hating the successful and the talented, since you never got there in the first place... Whatever your sad excuse might be. Not even your ridiculous government subsidies can help you against the free market of ideas, and the laws of supply and demand.

yup, it's pretty cheesy. And not even in a funny way, I think they are trying to make a good video here. But with that tune, I don't think it's possible to make a good video. It reminds me of that cartoon back in the 80s where the girl was a superhero rockstar. Gem or something like that, I dunno. I don't know what prog is, or powermetal or core or whatnot. I think good music is good music, be it Venom or Linkin Park. Yah, I like em both, just to piss you off. I just spent a good hour reading this stuff. It seems that Blabbermouth does a pretty wide range of music, and pardon me if I am human, if I hear corny ass name for a band, chances are Im not gonna check em out.......unless it says cheesiest of all time. I'll give it the cheesiest of the week anyway. Until the new Warriors of Thunder video comes out, or whatever. BUT, Im not saying the lyrics to Hammerfalls songs are any better than Pantera, or whatever "good metal, real metal" band. People always ask me why I listen to music that I can't understand the lyrics too. and I always tell them, Im glad I can't understand the lyrics, cause there is a 99% chance that they are fucking stupid. Whatever though, if you dig it, dig it. If you don't and someone else does, let them dig it. You can't talk someone into liking something, cause then you will just shit on them for being posers. Its a no win situation.

For years, Europeans - most notably the French - have argued that the American movie industry gained global dominance because of two things: bigger markets and better marketing. They whine that our domestic market is so huge, Hollywood can make a bigger profit and afford to spend more on marketing, crowding out smaller foreign flicks.
Relatedly, they point out that our country is so diverse that we've figured out how to make movies that appeal to the broadest possible audience. French films about chance encounters in used bookstores don't make sense to everybody, but everyone "gets" American movies about cowboys and Indians.
For the last decade Hollywood has been applying that lesson more and more to the new global market. Making lavish movies high on action, violence and sex and low on cultural dialogue and acting has been the secret to Hollywood's success in the global market for at least a decade.
This fact is often lost on social conservatives long convinced that Hollywood movies are lewd, crass and liberal because Hollywood is full of lewd and crass liberals. And while there's some merit to that argument, the reality is that making violent movies makes sense as a business decision because audiences around the world understand violence more than they understand obscure cultural references.
For example, "Home Alone" was one of the most popular films in Turkish history, and men all around the world understand what's going on in a Three Stooges movie. But diverse populations would probably need to have "All the President's Men" explained to them.
As the barriers between global markets come down and the incentives for global marketing strategies increase, it's only more and more likely that the universal language of sex and violence will gain more currency. There are no more "ancillary markets;" there is now just one market, and sometimes this will mean that Hollywood cares less about what America wants and more about what can be comprehended by people in any corner of the globe.

You really are that psychotic, aren't you?
Aside from the fact that I've never so much as mentioned my nationality, and the fact that you couldn't even figure it out for yourself from my username, I have nothing to defend when it comes to European politicians. I also never even mentioned the distinction YOU had made earlier until that last post, so let's not pretend that I am the one hiding behind it. You're the only one who's done that so far.
On the other hand, your fine example of judgmentality, bias, superiority complex, and completely one-sided, narrow minded worldview, betrays a huge ignorance of human behaviour and geo-politics. Brainwashed? That would be you, 'cause you're the one who's been parroting a single book. Fascist behaviour? That would be you as well, 'cause you're the judgmental one attributing people that you've never met intentions THAT YOU READ ABOUT IN A BOOK.
Oh yeah, you don't even seem to comprehend the "subtle" contradictions inherent in "selfish welfare states" and "fascism"... not to mention Nazism BY NATURE being equally anti-Arab as it is anti-Semitic.
Then again, I wouldn't expect you to comprehend such subtleties...
