About four years ago, when we were 16, metal started to become the coolest thing EVER! I remember listening to bands like Dimmu Borgir, The Forsaken and Amon Amarth the first time in my life and couldn’t imagine anything more bad-ass than that. Long hair, rugged jeans and beer are still the cliches of a metal band. Okay, there are some exceptions who run through a forest with a wizard dress on and a funny hat and a wand but they were still evil in a way (“Blashyrk!â€, “Bless you!â€). Looking like such a heavy metal guy isn’t as easy as some people might think! I always tried to grow my hair but failed untill this day, but I am not the only one with this problem... Also, what does your hair has to do with the kind of music you like?!
So I tried to be like them through the music! I grabbed my S370 and turned on the volume and gain and started to play the first riffs on my own. That became very boring so I’d asked myself if there were other guys around Cloppenburg who thought the same like I did! Two of them where my best friends Christian E and Florian, who visited the same class I did. Christian was and is the best solo guitar player in this region and he spent about 10 hours a day shredding thousands of “speed exercisesâ€. I always wondered why he did this with so much ambition and have still no idea how he made it. My theory is, that he has been force to practice in a dark basement and every time he makes a mistake he gets beaten up with a whip or a burning whip or has to fight against hiv-gorrilas with nano suits or stuff like that. What I want to say is that he and his metal-obsession machted perfectly!
Florian is our drummer and started annoying his parents and neighbors since he has arms and legs. We played together a lot and our first practise was very pathetic. We not played bad but he hadn’t had a double bass so that he used his tom and single bass instead. Metal=Fast. Fast=Good. Very strange, I know. Apart from that he played very good and always asked to start a metal band. The former Sammy Deluxe fan got purged by Slipknot, In Flames and Immortal. He was ready to join the team.
Two guitars and drums. Sounds good but we still need a singer(growler).
A warm summer evening in my street. Christian K. (my neighbor) and me on skates. I sat totally exhausted on the sidewalk. From the left he gently rolled over the street: “Starlight Express, Starlight Express! Wo bist du? Sag es mir!†The living musical one man show! He was the one who growed his hair over some years and had a pretty mane! His dress was usually black boots with black jeans a bloddy “Cradle of Filth-mastrubating-nun†shirt. I think you know what kind of music he listened to? We made a lot of music before with acoustic guitar and vocals and tried different songs from Oasis to Metallica. Since I know him he had the best voice I’ve ever heard and with his taste of music he fits totally in the band. Apart from that he was the one who had the idea and ambition to bring this whole project to life!
“Starlight Express, Starlight Express; Ich bitt' dich, komm zu mir!“
Lets do it!
First rehearsal in our “Jugendzentrum Rote Schule†in Cloppenburg:
„Lets rock!“
„We have not a single song“
Setting up a band is might be easy but at the beginning of your metalband career is the songwriting. In our genre it is more annoying thing to do than a lyrical way to express your feelings or the misstate of our society. The riffs and the first comlete (instrumental) song came very easy. We just played what came to our mind (no, REALLY) and the result was “House of the Insaneâ€!!
The text was written by Christian and Christian during an episode of “Barbara Saleschâ€. Maybe it is a hidden message and a criticism to Sat1 and there bad afternoon programm. Or it is just the simple idea of writing about crazy people who do even crazier things! We’ll never know....
Except from this the song was very cool! Our first song, yeha! But the sound was a bit thin. We need a bass! (and the musician for it, of course)
Christian K. had contact to a former friend of him, who played in a metal band before and would like to join us! Dome, black long hair, black clothes and a more black taste of music. “He will make us look evil!†He comes from Bösel, a village which is 25 km away from our beloved rehearsal room. But no problem: Friendly parents took him all the way every Thursday to the Rote Schule untill he became 18.
