heard about this band a couple years back and just thought id share 3 songs that i like best from the band. they have some pretty good ones overall. also be sure not to judge them based on their costumes :P.
I think the fact that they actually won Eurovision, which is totally not meant for this kinda music says something about them.
But really I'm curious why you would pop up in a thread about a band to diss them like it's a fact that they suck. Well if it's a fact, where your argument?
You're talking about Eurovision like that's an important dignifying award, or something.
Well, this band seems quite boring. Not to mention that they need to take some composition lessons. And probably actually get good at playing their instruments. And get a singer with a range and who doesn't sound like he has a nose bleed.
This one is short, but it's actually pretty amazing. I picture this song in the credits of a Zelda game.
Please no. That would ruin the franchise.
Man, I would hate to see what they sound like live, that recorded version of "My Heaven is Your Hell" has errors with the tempo. Or at least that's what it sounds like, if they did it on purpose its just as bad.

its their style man... i fancy it and i play the guitar and listen to every type of music and this is a refreshing change.
Actually, I'll be a bit more frank with what I meant.. Eurovision sucks, and it's amazing that they actually recognized Lordi as a good band. For how suckish Eurovision is, that must mean that Lordi is REALLY good to get noticed by such idiots
@minsc&boo: well if you're gonna go into a thread where you can expect people to disagree with you, at least be a bit less arrogant about what you're gonna say. If you said "I don't like them" or even "I think they suck" I wouldn't have cared. But just bluntly saying "they suck" without backing it up seems like you're trying to get people to hate you or something.
I geuss that's why all the Metal giants didn't. Lordi must be better than them. Oh well..me and my crappy knowledge when it comes to music!

Yea, I listen to a wide variety of music too, I have 4 classical music albums on my iTunes, 2 jazz, and a bunch of rock/metal. I play French Horn, Trumpet, Violin, Piano and Guitar. Woot for me. Lordi still sucks ass, they are not a refreshing change in the least, unless you consider listening to someone whose nose is not functioning properly a refreshing change. If that's the case then I can punch myself in the nose and make some money.
hahahaha. their costumes made me laugh. I definitely liked them though for sure.

You're right, it is personal taste, so if the music makes you happy then listen to it.:)
No, that's not the case anymore. That was the case some time ago, but it isn't anymore. Do you really think every Trance idiot necessarily likes Trance? To speak more locally, literally 95% of the people who listen to Trance in Lebanon, and go to all the events are posers following the herd, and will quit listening to it when the next trend finds its way to Lebanon. It will pass, just like the Metal thing passed, just like the Goth thing passed, and just like the Devil worshiping bullshit passed. All those moron who dwell in Hot Topic (with all my respect to those morons) are posers, who can only hope to become part of the crowd (no matter how hated and shitty it is) by listening to crap that's most friendly to their ears. They don't care if the crowd is liked, they just want to be part of something, even if said something is only slightly bigger than themselves. See, all the Metal elitists hate Linkin Park, Lordi, Mushroomhead, Condom for my Valentine, Handjob for a Cowboy; but that doesn't stop all the Metalhead wannabes from listening to them, does it? They just want to be something so bad, yet they can't possibly be it, so they settle for that bit less. It's fucked up how music is turning into some trend, rather than a personal loving of something.

That's a fair analysis. But Numen says he likes the music so he can listen to it. If people are listening to certain types of music though just because they are following their friends or to be cool, not because they actually think the music is good, then yes, they are posers.

How the hell does Lordi fit in with Linkin Park, Mushroom Head, Bullet, and Handjob?
Their music is nothing like the above..
Actually I can say that none of the "posers" here listen to Lordi. They're not even that well known around these parts. A lot of the "posers" here have been listening to Grunge..
Don't think I've ever listened to Handjob or Bullet.. I've heard Mushroom Head and wasn't too impressed.. and Linkin Park isn't anything special.

They all suck and the vast majority of posers all listen to them? Another way to think of it would be the following;l the majority of posers MIGHT (big stress on MIGHT) not listen to Lordi, but the vast majority of Lordi listeners ARE posers.
I didn't say the posers where you live listen to Lordi, you aren't making any sense there.
Grunge? Lol, haha, rofl, lmao. Uhhh..Metalcore? Hardcore? Rapcore? CORE? Jesus Christ..I might not say I know about a lot of stuff, but if I know about anything, it's this crap, so please..look it up before attempting to debate it. I'm not saying this to come off as conceited or anything, I'm just looking out for your own good when debating in general.
No offense, but I don't really care what you do and don't listen to, I honestly don't. I wasn't talking about specific users here, I was talking in general. Spare me.
I was just saying in general, the posers around here have been listening to Grunge and Lordi isn't that well known in these parts.
None of what I said pertained to you, except the question I asked about Lordi relating to the other bands you mentioned.
Other than that, I was just making a plain statement on what the majority of Posers have been listening to here.

The posers where I live seem to listen to either Emo or Indie music. (Not that all indie music is bad though, Arcade Fire, Arctic Monkeys and Bloc Party are all acceptable bands in my opinion.)
I'd never heard of Lordi before yesterday, so I don't think Lordi is a big band in my area either.
I don't think it's possible to ruin the Zelda franchise at this point. Just ask LinkX, he'll tell you.
Lordi seems to be pretty mainstream in Europe too, they are kind of hit and miss at this point with me, some of their song's are great and other's I can't sit through.

(would u love a monsterman is also pretty catchy)

I liked Blood Red Sandman.
My Heaven Is Your Hell is my favorite song by them.
