My music that keeps me going
Everyone has their favorite bands and their memories from their gigs and how the music influenced them. I decided to share mine to you.
When I was child I listened lots of Spice Girls and Aikakone and Taikapeili and even Laura Voutilainen and Kaija Koo were my kind of music. I always was very open minded with music. I found The 69 eyes and other that type of Finnish bands and also The rasmus was one of the best I ever knew. But what really made deep impact to me, what I remember having that kind of musical change to me was Nightwish. Oh my God how in love I was when I found that band and I regret everyday that I never got to their gigs with Tarja as their singer as Tarja was and always will be the true singer of that band, though I like Floor Jansen as well but Anette was just big catastrophe for me when Tarja was kicked out.
Nightwish helped me lot on those times when I was bullied in school and live was just crappy. It made it's way into our internet role play games and connected me with other people. It was huge support to me and when Tarja was kicked out and I watched their last gig on dvd I cried from start to end. It was worst day in my life back then regarding music and I hoped that the band would not have go on without her. I do not know what my opinion is at the moment, maybe more like they evolved and I do not know if they went in right direction. There is 1-2 albums maybe with Anette that was too pop and not themselves at all that made me kind of grow out of my fascination with them. I still love their music but era of Nightwish being my favorite band was gone.
I do not know anymore when I found Placebo, I think it was when I saw Cruel intentions and that was 1999. Okay let's say I found Placebo back then. It was instant love as well. Molko's voice and all those instruments and lyrics just swept me away. In 2006 if I am correct I went to see their gig in Helsinki and met this lovely girl there. We lined over night to get good places and we got in front of Molko. I cried most of the gig and I was ecstatic. Though it was disappointment by performance as Molko just stood there and sang it was still otherwise very magical event for me. Maybe even first gig I ever experienced if I remember correctly. I do not count those Uniklubi gigs to this, they were nobodies to me.
Well Placebo was that much big influence to me and my novels that in 2009 I took tattoo on my back inspirited by their album artwork or where ever I found that pic. Those wings with heart. Original pic:
So that is how my second musical tattoo found it's way to honor one of my bands that I have loved all these years though of course there are times when I don't listen to them or like all of their work that much but we all have our favorite albums and songs so I do not mind that I am choosy.
But 2006 or 2007 I found 30 seconds to Mars, it has been like ten years now, oh my God! That was as well love in first sight as I already loved Leto as actor and it was just super to found out that he had band as well! Their music let's you feel all sort of emotions and you can kind of live through the music. You feel like you are part of something bigger. It was so amazing to find something that had so big influence on you, like finding your way back home. So in 2008 I took my first tattoo and it was to Mars of course:
Yes it is in wrong order I know and it pissed me off for little while but then I realized that I do not take tattoos just to tell that I like some band. It is not to market them to the world, tattoo's has always bigger meaning to me and for that tattoo it also goes for my love with space and stars and planets, mysteries of the world and so on so it doesn't matter in what order they are to me. It's like my wings aren't promoting Placebo, it has been changed from original picture to look more like me and to have my other meanings of freedom, heart that can fly and dream and so on.
In 2009 I saw 30 seconds to mars live and oh my God! It was so different from Placebo gig that I was like shocked by the difference. I was again in front and there were many who passed out even before the gig started. It was that hot in there apparently.
Jared was so energig. He just ran and jumped and even ran around crowd in one point. He was so amazing, all the band is. It was like pure joy, pure love, something that can't put in words. And from that moment on I have hoped to see them again. I missed them when they were in festival's and it was so disappointing. I wish I could travel all over the world to see them. Or be journalist who would have chance to interview them. I studied audiovisual so my dream to come true would be to make music video with them, well many bands are on my list. But I can't wait to see them again. I wish I could go to Camp Mars someday too. ;__;;
One last band that I take up is Stam1na. Finnish rock band. I first hated their music for some reason and it took years to grown on me but then something happened and I actually started to like it and went to many gigs they had. I wish I could have seen Linkin Park live, I do not know why it came to my mind from Stam1na's gigs but anyway. I will speak of Linkin Park someday else.
So Stam1na has found it's way into my body as tattoo. It is not complete and it irritates me actually. This pic is taken just after it was done so it is clear. Those lyrics are from song Murtumispiste and it goes in english something like this:
So here are some of my fav bands that has influenced me Nightwish, Placebo, thirty seconds to mars and Stam1na. I could list even more like Linkin Park, Evanescence, Within Temptation and so on but I think I will write more about them and also these bands and other music and movies and so in other time. :3

Rioting, informal
Artifacts, false tones
No flawlessness is perfect
