They're Finnish (correct me if I'm wrong) and they're becoming enough famous in Europe with their 2 hit singles "In the shadows" and "First day of my life". I think they're good... listen to it!

Got any links we can find them at ?

I tought i liked them awhile ago, but when i hear them now. I scream and yell at my mp3 player that its still in my playlist. It kept popping back in :(
now i deleted them from my hd :)

Yeah they're pretty good.
I haven't heard their new single but I heard In the Shadows and another song by them called F-F-F-Falling or something like that lol

i liked their first single 'in the shadows' but i dont like the new song, dunno what its called.

The singer scares me :D

great band, i made a thread about them some time ago:
http://www.evboard.com/viewtopic.php?t=8436
so continue posting there ;)

I adore them !
They're my current favourite band :)
And will have the delight to see them live soon !

I like them, my sister's got their tape & Ilisten to it all the time!

I can't stand Lauri's (the singer) voice, I think it's terrible. I don't like Rasmus, sorry.

I love the Rasmus, another great Finnish band

someone sent me their song "not like the other girls"
i love it!
im most likely buying this CD :D
(and btw i clicked on kstar's link and it was le DEAD)

Hey guys, really, they arent good, not of all.... trust me... first time when I heard them, was early 90s some stupid finnish tv show "Passi ja hammasharja" and they played Chostbusters theme song... ohh, it was terrible! And their fake-"some-kind-of-gothig-pop"-style imago... ohh it makes me laugh... No ones dont like them in Finland anymore, only some lil teen girls... hahaha... at the first them was some new... but it was at first... So wanna u be some f***** stupid teen girl? "Ohh, I love Lauri (btw, its my name too :D ) hes so... special" :DDD Listen him voice... its like woman... screaming... ohh, it makes a bad taste headache... And at the end, sorry, if u like them really... I dont... No!
Have a nice day...

t.A.T.u. fan with love... forever

so youre a t.a.t.u. fan telling us what music to like and not to? at least the rasmus is making their own music... :rolleyes:

and i really like his voice

d'oh, they all post here xP
you can open it again by posting ;)

but meh, gotta admit i'm over me rasmus addiction :p

Rasmus they are like a Gothc Good Charlotte a big no no. Billy Talent are way better.

His voice is too N'syncy to be in a rock band. Its too poppy.

And I don't like them at all.

my best friend got me to download, in the shadows.. i love it :D

I really like The Rasmus. Nothing compared to EV hehe
But I think they're good. I like the songs, and the videos pretty much.
I'm going to buy Dead Letters... someday. And probably I'm going to their concert on 27th May. I hope so!

I heard In The Shadows on the radio the other day then again about half hour later then it was on in the car it isn't usually summat i'd like but i dunno i am hooked on it. I might get their album but i dunno yet i wanna hear a couple of their orther songs first

I'd love to screw your ass backwards on your head and make it look like you sprouted abnormal Mickey Mouse ears, but to each his own. The Rasmus are a good band. Like Evanescence, they're misconstrued as goth because Lauri wears black make-up. But their music is actually quite good and Dead Letters sounds promising. I'm going to buy it when it comes out here.

:)

No, Wicket619, it wasn't directed at you! That was meant for starman82, who could at least make a profound argument if he wants to slam a band. Sorry, I forgot to quote him. So don't fuck me. :)

Sorry i take back what i said then :)

i watched one of their videos...and the dude had feathers or something in his hair, i think. i didn't like the song very much, but they look pretty cool.

Yeah, the lead singer Lauri wears feathers in his hair sometimes. Doesn't look like he washes his hair a lot. :D

I like them In the shadows is the catchiest song i've heard in a long while.

<----- Is damn jealous. Hope you have fun then! Btw, love your sig :)

i liked in the shadows the first time i heard it, then later on they aired it way to much and i couldn't even stand listning to it anymore
so that was the end of my love for the rasmus

but to all of you guys and girls, who are going to see them, i wish you all an amazing show! i'll check them out on tv, they're playing at pinkpop and i'm pretty curious about how they sound when they play live

I saw the video for "In the Shadows" today. I liked it. I'm trying to find it, but can't. :( Oh well, they rock!

I LOVE the Rasmus. They're an awesome band. I love Lauri's voice :D

I love the rasmus....im in love with that song ''in the shadows'' ^^

I like In The Shadows but my brother has the album and I don't like it.

From what I've heard of them so far, i think they're okay. I like the song 'In the Shadows' but I haven't heard anything else yet.

I haven't still clearly how many videos for In The Shadows they have...

I've seen too, but I've heard that there are three...
I've seen the one that the band is into a white room and appear these crows and the other with the girl that see Lauri's in the mirrors

I saw their CD in Target the other day and was going to check them out. Thanks for reminding me about them. :D

undefinedThey're Finnish (correct me if I'm wrong) and they're becoming enough famous in Europe with their 2 hit singles "In the shadows" and "First day of my life". I think they're good... listen to it!

they are Finland's 3rd finest export :D
and yes they are groovy, oh so very groovy...

oh...The Rasmus...
i used to like them..but that was years ago.
some of their songs (mostly the old ones) are still ok.
but im quite happy for them that they have become more famous in europe..they have been making music for so long.
hahah...and Lauris english is a lot better now. i can't understand a thing what he sings in their old songs. :p

is'nt their lead singer a scandinavian pixy goblin type creature?

is'nt their lead singer a scandinavian pixy goblin type creature?
i think hes a pokemon charecter

i downloaded some of their songs and i think their quite good.

this may be a misheard lyric, but on f-f-f-falling, does he sing in the chorus "i can't get enough" or "i can't get it up"....i must say it sounds a lot like the latter, hmmmmm :confused:

yeah.. he does sing "i can't get it up" in the chorus. :)

I saw the Rasmus on fuse today. They kinda reminded me of the Dandy Warhols.

I really don't like The Rasmus anymore either. I think they're the kind of band that you really love for a while, but then get sick of :S

I've liked them for quite a while but like alot of people are saying their new album isn't as good as their old stuff, but I still like them :)

There is a one page article about them in Kerrang, with Kurt Cobain on the cover, issue nr 999

There is also a 3 page inerview with lauri in the latest issue with slipknot on the cover. I'm going to get dead letters soon and tehn get their older stuff. "Funeral Song" is brilliant

I really like the one Rasmus' song. It's "Funeral song (the resurection)". This song have so beautiful melody, it's very sad (for me), and I must say i don't know very good text of this song, but the melody is adequate for me.

I really like The Rasmus, they're kinda different. In the shadows reminds me of BMTL when it was first released as in it was different from the usual UK music (if that makes any sense to anyone i'll be very impressed).

Thats the only The Rasmus song I still like

I like their nu stuff, but i think i may check some of the old stuff... (it just looks like something whoever can say about Evanescence; doesnt it?)

The first time I heard 'in The Shadows', I liked it. Then after hearing it a few more times, it seemed just... blah. Now it sounds like Lavigne-style pop-rock. What really annoys me is that people are calling it a 'goth track', when there's now't even remotely 'dark' about it, unless you take the title literally of course. That song just annoys me now.

Another thing that annoys me is that 'Rasmus' is also a exchange studant style program. It doesn't bode well when a band shares the same name as a studant exchange program.

ok.. i had in the shadows stuck in my head for like 3 days straight, and i dont know half the words. that was the worst experience ever, at all, in my life.

Hey, I was listening to all what I have on my PC from The Rasmus...
There is a song... Rauk... Rask... ok, let me look for the title :p

Rakkauslaulu

This song is theirs?? It doesn't seem but... If you know it ;)

i liked them... for about a week.
they sound way too happy and i don't know i just don't like them...

and like someone said, they look to me like a 'goth' good charlotte...

people who are going to see them... enjoy it.

I don't like them. Or at least I didn't. But my boyfriend loves them, and he keeps getting 'In the shadows' stuck in my head. A curse on him!!

I like In The Shadows but the album to me is rubbish. Maybe it takes a few listens but it just sounds too poppy to me.

the old stuff rocks... as does some of the new stuff... :p

I have bought the CD today. I really like Funeral Song! More than In The Shadows...

I do not like the rasmus thats why i have their signature... lol

I didn't even know who they were and I detested them, lol. My sister played "In The Shadows" a ridiculous amount of times on repeat and I couldn't stand it. Now I think she's even gotten over them because she played the song too many times, haha.

Rasmus pictures...

from when are those pictures? didn't know he had blonde hair, too

from when are those pictures? didn't know he had blonde hair, too

Lauri in video Falling. He had blonde hair beforehand... Dont know when he dyed it black,but black suits him better any way.

I can't stand Lauri's (the singer) voice, I think it's terrible. I don't like Rasmus, sorry.


yeah, same here. at first i thought they were trying a bit hard (him with the dark clothing, and stuff) but now im just like whatever. its nice to see people talking bout other bands and stuff. now if only someone knew about the shroud. :: sigh ::

I'm in love with the rasmus...they rock! :D :D

yeah, they are really good :) my favourite song on their album is either "in my life" or funeral song"

has anyone heard their cover of the theme tune to Ghost Busters? it's really funny cos lauri can't pronounce the letter V, he sings the "inwisible man" instead of "invisible" LOL :D

p.s. sorry if this has already been mentioned, but i didn't read through all the 7 pages

I love this band! is GREAAAT!
"In the shadows"---the lyrics are like made for me! is exactly how i feel

I like them, i think theyr'e a pretty good band. Need to hear more of their stuff though.

i totally agree with you on that!!!!! when i first heard the song i was like 'OMG!!!! that song is so about me!!!!!' lol...

i think The Rasmus are good...but then again i've only heard 'in the shadows'. i still have to hear their album and see if i still like their sound :)

You MUST hear all the album. ;) A lot of people say that In The Shadows is the only good song... but no. I think not.

My favourite song is Funeral Song... I love it. And once... I died in my dreams, too. :p

I'm so excited! I'm seeing them on 27th. And on 30th Evanescence. :D Yayyy!

I like Not Like Other Girls :D

The Rasmus are my 2nd fav band..after Evanescence of course....I love his voice there's just somthing about it that makes me happy..........

i like the rasmus or what ive heard of them anyway. ive only heard one of their songs. it was in the shadows. but that song is really good. id like to get more farmiliar with the band so if anyone has any suggestions on songs i should hear feel free to let me know.thanks

Well, I only have the Dead Letters album but it's really good. I have some downloaded songs but... I don't know from which album are they...

My fave songs in the album are Funeral Song, First Day On My Life, Guilty... and In The Shadows.
They are all great :D

Yayyayay! In 5 days I'll be in their concert!

Yayyayay! In 5 days I'll be in their concert!

*Glares at you evilly*

You always go to see the same bands I am just before I do.... HIM and now The Rasmus.... ;) Lol, have a great time.

Originally I was going to go in April be that never happened but now we're going in June. I'm not a huge The Rasmus fan though. They're just playing at my favourite venue!

Have fun... although you're not a great The Rasmus fan a concert is always a concert!!

I just got Dead Letters, their new CD and I ordered Into as well, I love this band.

I like In the Shadows and Still Standing.

i nearly have all their albums.

i'm going to 2 of their concerts in November.

I was at their first Irish concert .

I love them , *starts singing along to The Rasmus songs* :D

hm....i like some songs by them :)

Sorry to re-surface this thread but, I bought this cd today just to check them out and I fell in love with it.

In the Shadows, Still Standing, In My Life, Time to Burn, Not like the other Girls, The One I love, Funeral Song and F-F-Falling are the ones that I liked best.

For some reason, The lead singer's voice reminds me of Bryan Adams, I <3 Bryan Adams.

The only gripe about this cd (Dead Letters) that I have is that the songs are just too short!

I was obsessed with "In The Shadows" for a while, but since I haven't heard it in a while... My friend has the CD though. I'm gonna borrow it because there are some songs on it that she said I'd really like. :)

Yay, they're finnish! :D

I like some of their songs, Funeral Song especially right now. I heard Lauri and Ville Valo will sing in some of Apocalyptica's song, that should be cool.

I'm pretty sure that the Rasmus have collaborated with HIM on a song called bittersweet or sumthin like that (correct me if I'm wrong) has anyone heard it?? Alot of my friends are HUGE HIM fans just like me and said its really good....

Yup, its brillant! The video for it too, they did it with Apocalyptica :D It's a great song!

They have a DVD out just recently, called Live Letters , if anybody is interested.

I can't stand The Rasmus... They have been around like 7 years or something and suddenly when they changed their style to gloomy-wannabe-goth, they became popular. It's good if you like them, but I just don't. :)

I've noticed from researching them of that big change. It's one of the demands of music now though. Whatever works for them....

I find it very weird that not one band can be labeled 'goth' in the music industry hardly. It is very hard to be let in on such a label. The kids are too judgemental about it or something. They are some very obvious 'wannabes' today such as Good Charlotte, but atleast the Rasmus music fits their style lyrically.

I've heard all songs from their last cd ''Dead Letters'',original sound & intresting voice of lead singer-Lauri are mixed in very good songs.
Also new song with HIM & Apocalyptica fascinate me.

this is probably been mentioned on this thread... but what is up with that song- Sophia? "i wish i had a bone, i wish i had a bone..." seriously, dude, what is with that?! lol:p

If oyu're like that about Sophia, don't listen to Postman, that's more obsured then the dog song. ;)

I think there's some frog song that's pretty weird too. Isn't Postman a cover, btw?

I agree lauri has an interesting voice and their songs are interesting. I have only heard the songs on that CD no other songs i might find some one who has another Cd of theirs to listern to. But the Rasmas are good to listern to if you feel in the mood. I like their songs but haven't listern to the CD in a while.

But they are not that big in Australia most people are like 'the who?...' and the only song that i have heard beeing played on the radio is 'In the Shadows' which is the song that made me buy the CD. But for some reason i have gone off that song. but their still good

By now they are not really independent underground anymore, are they? I have listened to them for the first time in spring 2003 and In the Shadows got me hooked up. After a while I bought all their albums and went to see them live. I have to say that their strength definitely lies in the live gigs. They are able to deliver so much power that you return home completely bouncy (even more if they wouldn't end their shows with 'Funeral Song' *sighs*). And their lyrics are very deep and meaningful, even in the old songs when Lauri (the singer and songwriter) tries to hide that behind fun melodies.

Hey, I was listening to all what I have on my PC from The Rasmus...
There is a song... Rauk... Rask... ok, let me look for the title :p

Rakkauslaulu

This song is theirs?? It doesn't seem but... If you know it ;)

Rakkaslaulu is Finnish and means 'love song'. Their record company wanted to force them to sing in Finnish but they refused to because they thought that sucked and so they made this song as a parody... they basically sing crap like 'You never said you loved me' and 'She smiled at me and showed me THIS' and on this Lauri used to hold his hands up and gesture the 'let's fuck' thingy with his two hands. It's all pretty much senseless and written just for fun.

I like them. I have seen them in concert, in Paris last september. It was a great time :) ! I have already speak about this concert in an other thread, in Great britain or a thing like that, I have posted pics.

(Sorry for my bad english :o )

The Rasmus ROCK live!!
I saw them last summer on a festival that Nokia held in Thessaloniki, Greece and they were awesome!! I've never seen such a great show in my life. It was nothing fancy but the guys especially Lauri and Eero had soooo much energy! I wish I could see them again..

Btw has anyone got the DVD "Live letters" ? I can't seem to find it here in Greece.. maybe it's not imported yet.. but anyway.. if anyone has it, please let me know if it's worth buying..

Here are two of my fave photos that I took (I resized them a bit otherwize they would take quite a while to load):

I think they must be by far the best live band I've seen. I saw them in Cologne 2003 and in Liseberg (Gothenburg/Sweden), Cologne and London in 2004 and it was worth waiting and travelling. They have no big show but basically just do their thing and Lauri has an amazing live voice. I think that Pauli has developped a lot since 2003. He is so outgoing now and really funny.


Btw has anyone got the DVD "Live letters" ? I can't seem to find it here in Greece.. maybe it's not imported yet.. but anyway.. if anyone has it, please let me know if it's worth buying..

I have it. The gig is okay-ish, I would have preferred one of their own ones so that we could see the atmosphere better. This was from a festival - probably so that they have more people in the audience. But they play all songs, don't worry about that one. The tour this year was much better anyway from the songs they played so I would have preferred that as DVD. The bonus features are kinda cool. There is a demo version of ITS. The first ever presentation for their record company. I can recommand that bit.

Thanks for the pics :)

@Dani_Insane:

Thanx a lot for the info on the DVD.. I hope that they'll import it really soon here in Greece.. I'll most definately buy it since I became a bit obsessed with the band after the gig..
Also thanx for liking my photos :) The truth is that I am very interested in collecting photos from Rasmus esp. Lauri but I couldn't find anyone to trade with me since my photos are only live (I don't own any b'stage pix :( ) and are digital.. so it costs quite a bit to print them on paper :(

You can order it at www.cdon.com as far as I know. I ordered it directly from Sweden because it was released earlier than in Germany. I have tons of pics on the computer from the international forum (www.therasmusforum.com) but it's down at the moment due to server problems.

I used to post there some time ago.. maybe my account became deactivated.. i'll better check it out soon :)

They will be among the performers in Helsinki, Finland for a benefit concert to the tsunami victims.

I used to post there some time ago.. maybe my account became deactivated.. i'll better check it out soon

No, I know the admins, they don't just deactivate accounts. At the moment they have some real nasty server problems which I hope they will solve very soon. I miss that board.

I liked them when they first came out.

but they came to Reading rock festival and got booed off stage. ;_;
I was really upset to hear that the majority of people DISPISE Them.
o_o
so much so they threw things at them while onstage! they even injured a band memeber! (it was on thier official site a while ago)

how mean is that?

People just won't give them a chance and I don't understand why!

Some people are just pathetic...
The Rasmus is quite a big name in Finland since 1996. If some people don't like their music, that's fine. I can't say I love all bands, but I wouldn't throw stuff at them. If people can't appreciate some things and respect the artist, well what can I say? I think they should.. FORK themselves :D

Those idiots planned that long before Reading already. And I read an interview with Eero and Lauri where they said that nobody can get them down and that they will play at Reading 2005 again.

I like so much THE RASMUS, but not as much as othe bands i like... i think i like them cos Lauri's voice is great, cos DEAD LETTERS is a great album & just cos they'r Finnish... i'm becoming a bit obsesed with anything related to Finland :D

No, I know the admins, they don't just deactivate accounts. At the moment they have some real nasty server problems which I hope they will solve very soon. I miss that board.Its back up :D, they had to get rid of some files so thats why it was down, are you a member there? my name's Susanangel on that board.

Yes and people did plan to bottle TR at Reading, after the concert, some eejits started posting on the officail site about how great it was to bottle the guys, luckily the fans started to tell them to stfu, worked pretty well :p . And Lauri said they were going to play in Reading again if they got the chance.

Oh yeah I can relate to what you say. Most of the bands I like to listen to, are Finnish.
MUST check out for Charon, To/Die/For, Entwine and Poisonblack if you haven't.
Also Poets Of The Fall are so damn great. You should listen to "Such a late goodbye"..

I've been active on there for a long time, ever since the first Dublin concert. I'm actaully helping to plan a meeting for the fans in Ireland for the summer. :p Half the people are not even irish, so its really just a meeting.

Well, I've known some of the mods and admins before I got into the board. Usually it's the other way around but somehow I got a different start into it. And that is why I never actively posted, they told me all the stuff. but when I got to know the others, I just changed from being a lurker to a 'Member of the Rasmus Madness' ;-)

Oh my god, they nominated Avril Lavigne and Good Charlotte in the "Best Rock" category...I think I'm gonna puke.

Does anybody know when their international board will be up again? I couldn't reach any of the Admins over the last days and semi-officially they had stated me it would be back up Sunday night.

they are a really!! cool band!!!OMG!!! THEY ARE AMAZING!! not like evanescence,,,,but they are good^^hehehe

i really like them my favourite songs are in the shadows and not like the other girls.

I just bought their cd.... Holy cow i have so much respect for this band.... this band is a freaking genious... their song stricture is so addicting.... im convinced that there are subliminal messages in the songs... its so addicting.... my favorite song is time to burn but thats because its the one that made me buy the cd.... the first and second tracks are good too.... holy crap im still amazed :D

im convinced that there are subliminal messages in the songs...

Oh yeah, and loads of them. Some songs don't appear deep at all but they all are so amazingly arranged and put into so honest words that you can tell that Lauri is a lyrical wonder. I saw on tv that they said he was one of the best composers and songwriters in Finland.

Funeral Song is one of their best songs..
I also love the vid.

I agree. I wish they would play here! Everyone I have talked to is all like.. who the hell is this band... and im like oh man! TIme to Burn is one of my favorites... I wish I could see the videos, I have only seen In the Shadows because it came with the cd and Guilty - one when I was in england...

Man I wish i could meet this guy and spend like an hour with him talking about song structure and lyrics and melody and recording ahhh so much to do! thats my mission now, I will meet him! I will! hahhaa ... god there go my stalkeresh tendencies.

i love this band :] im glad to see others like them as well haha

Where are you from then? And yeah, that's all I want myself, but then rather Pauli because he is more the musical wonder :D

California in the United States... OH MAN the best tour ever ... HIM and the Rasmus

Have you heard the new song already? 'No Fear'? I'm not sure about it... I think it is too poppy or whatever it is, too catchy. But then again I have not heard the complete song but just a snippet from a homepage.

yeah, i've heard the new song "No Fear" and I just love it. I guess one has to listen to it a couple of times before it grows on you ;). the chorus is really awesome and i love how Lauri sings it "casually", the music is great as well. i can't wait to get my hands on "Hide From The Sun." the names of the songs are so cool...I can't wait to hear them!!!! <3

aw, i didnt like no fear all that much... i really liked the dead letters style and the rasmus is notorious for changing their style... oh well it i best just to wait for the new album :) i thought in my life was one of the best songs on DL and they ued that as their last single... so ... who knows what else is left :)

Welll, I've liked what I've heard of them. Here in Latin América they're hhuuuuuuge!!!!

Lauri's voice sounds like Nick carter's voice to me...

and he looks like Goku. When he was blonde, he was a super-sayayin. Now that he has dark hair he's just a sayayin. But I prefer him with dark hair.

Anyway this band rocks...

You guys are right: they are known for changes in style, it is audible between every single album, I think. My favourite one was INTO, to me the songs in Dead Letters sounded too much alike but then again I like the songs still... My favourite on DL was also In My Life because it is so energetic. But it was not the last single in every country, you know? In Finland, in fact, it was the first. So you cannot really draw conclusions from that regarding the new album.

I'm very curious about the track with Apocalyptica!

i loved Dead Letters, all the songs were amazing except for Back In The Picture- that song just never grew on me. my favorite is Time To Burn, that's a great song. No Fear is like no song from Dead Letters and I like that. it would be really boring if they went backwards. i'm sure that HFTS will be an amazing record because let's face it, everything they do is great!!! ;)

´
I actually really liked Back In the Picture, I got pretty tired of The One I Love. But the American Version is much better than the European one...

Time to Burn is the second fave of those tracks to me.

Hello ! The Rasmus is a band that i don't like a lot, I think that its previous albums are very pop. Dead Letters is a good album, but alone i they like 4 songs. Lauri doesn't sing very well in live, but gives it all as the artist on the setting.

well, one can't expect him to deliver a studio performanace vocally when he's on stage. it's just different and a much bigger strain on the vocal chords. judging by live clips i think that he does quite well live, i haven't gotten a chance to see them in person yet :( . but hey, thanx for letting us know what you think about the band ;) \m/

ack!! i found it, i found one of the greatest threads!! THE RASMUS, now they are an awesome band, and they're songs/vids rock so much. I love "No Fear" it is lovely, and so dark. I love it, plus i cannot wait til the new alb is out. 12th of September, here i come!!

Rasmus!!! It took me forever to find their album around here.

I believe you guys could either find their song samples on www.launch.yahoo.com or their official site or even listen to samples on any bookstore/music site (BORDERS.com, barnesandnoble.com)
or www.bestbuy.com or ciruitcity.com

Well i just went to see them and got their album at first! Its funny, coz i started liking and listening to them in May, then for my bro's bday my dad had gotten concert tickets for The Rasmus, thinking it was Rammstein! So obviously my bro wasn't gonna go and i's hopping mad, as i like them! But anyways, i'm a mad fan of theirs, but still like Ev more :p

Lauri looks sooo cute on The Rasmus site when he's saying welcome and to check out the new single, heh heh. i'm soooo excited, it's good that there are bands like them to listen to until Ev releases their new cd. it makes the wait so much easier ;)

I listened their songs...I really love "In the shadows"!

What do you guys think of the snippets of the new album? Liked them? I'm absolutely ecstatic... here is the link if you haven't checked them out so far:

http://www.musicbay.se/buy/index.asp?movie_id=981&company_id=39

omg thanx for posting that Dani_Insane, i had not heard those before. as soon as Shot started playing i was like "Hell yeah!!!!" lol!!! i think Lucifer's Angel is my favorite for now ^_^, can't wait to hear the whole album!

haha, give me a positive rep for that! - just kidding. I love sharing my favourite music, so of course you'd be one of the first to have it. I don't know what everybody sees in Lucifer's Angel... weirdness.. My favourite track so far is Immortal and definitely Last Generation because the lyrics are awesome. Oh, and I ADORE Sail Away - but it's so much better in the live version. The cd version is sorta flat.

*reps you* you really deserve it. there's no way i would have come across that site by myself. i even have trouble with downloading the "No Fear" video on their site, i'll have to look for it somewhere else. anywho, i don't know what it is about Lucifer's Angel, it just sticks out to me. but i love all the songs!!! Immortal is really cool too, he puts so much emotion into it <3. i lubs The Rasmus soooo much ^_^.

Aww, thanks, but I was seriously just kidding. I get all my info from gathering it for the ASS forum (http://data.forumhoster.com/forum_assforumg), you know? We have this new section there for registered members that has all sort of info. The international Forum is just way too big, so now we are doing our own little thing there ;) Feel free to register, if you want to. - enough plugged, hehe.

Some of my friends have already listened to Immortal because they got the single already... apparently CDON sent them out too early. They love the song. Now I can't wait for Monday myself!

the link doesn't work for me :( , i'm only not around the international one because it's so HUGE. i get lost, lol. so i would definitely join. and i know u were kiddin, i meant to rep u yesteday for it though, but i am a lazy bum sometimes. and those ppl are so lucky!!! i wish i still lived in Europe....

I've always hesitated about this band. Why the fuck would they playback over and over again? They can't be that bad. They're messing with their reputation as artists. I'd have more respect for them if they played live. Even if they're not great at it.

However, I don't hate them. I just think it's a shame :)

Btw, I really like this sentence from Funeral Song: 'I died in my dreams, reaching out for your hand'

Very nice and romantic, in a way.

i don't know about the playback or anything. haven't seen them live ever. i just love their music, so i don't really care. but yeah, i guess it is a shame if they are doing that....not live= not cool.

Well, I went to six Rasmus gigs last year and they played live all the time! And I do think their gigs are really cool.;)
But I saw a german TV show a few months ago, they played "In the shadows" and it was all playback. I guess they just playback for TV shows... :confused: I used to be a fan of this band for a short time, now it's over but I still have respect for them.:)

so guys, after hearing all the clips from the new album. what's ur favorite song? i already said that it's Lucifer's Angel for me. but i <3 Immortal and Night After Night a lot as well. on the last album, i didn't like Back In The Picture that much, but it looks like there's not a single song on Hide From The Sun that i don't like, wootage!!

Kay thanks for letting me know :) Was the gig good? The singing etc.?
If so, even more of a shame they playback at shows.

I love this bad lots, I really can't wait for there new cd 'Hide From The Sun' to come out, btw you can pre-listen to it here.

http://www.freewebs.com/disturbedmusic

i tried to find Hide from the sun today, i went to many places and none of them had it... damn it

u can order the cd on amazon. i know that most stores suck at having cd's, ugh.

anywho, i love the new cd. i love it even more than Dead Letters and that means something :).

fave songs now- Dead Promises, Night After Night and Immortal. i cannot stop listening this cd!!!!!!

<3

Their new video "no fear" looks a little bit like "Bring me to life", and looks a lot like some Slipknot video...

I remember the very first time their music video was played on Finnish television (mid 90's); ever since then...

I have disliked them...
I have loathed them...
I have hated them...
I have despised them.

In case the point was not made: I do not care for them at all.

Their new video "no fear" looks a little bit like "Bring me to life", and looks a lot like some Slipknot video...

yea it looks a bit like vermillion i got my album two days ago its amazin i have a bonus track called open my eyes and its soooo good

the new cd is brilliant, the music and mood of the whole cd is amazing. a great improvement from DL which i already said was excellent itself.

I think the new cd's pretty ace. At first I didn't like it but now my fav song id "Dead Promise", the intro to it os so cool, and the chorus. I also love th eintro to "Dancer In The Dark" too, sounds spooky kinda. My other favs are "Shot", and "Night After Night"

Oh yeah, can someone tell me which songs have piano intros? I heard one and wanted to learn it but I don't have the cd (lent it off a mate) and I don't know which song to search for. Cheers!

Ok for those who don't know Sail Away is the Next Single, and is out now
There are two versions of the single one a two track single and the other a 4 track enhanced maxi..
Here's what Lauri had to say:

Lauri about the song 'Sail Away'
"'Sail Away' is a different kind of track on this album. It started off as a very simple camp-fire song. I remember playing this song to the guys in the rehearsal room, just sitting on the floor, and they were like 'what is this song, this sounds soo good?' and I said oh, it's just one of those 'pussy' songs, and they said 'oh, this is really beautiful, we must do this song, and we must keep it really simple' and that's what happened. The lyrics are about what happens in situation when love runs out."


Lauri about the video Sail Away
"The video for new single 'Sail Away' was shot in Latvia, on the 19th & 20th September. The Rasmus perform the song, and we are getting totally sanded by a sandstorm. Part of the video was shot at the vast and beautiful beaches at Mersraga Baka, 110 km North of Riga, where I am walking past some surreal scenes, singing my heart out, while a giant cloud of sand is approaching... The video was directed by the young Berlin team Mathias Vielsäcker & Christoph Mangler, www.twodirectors.com. The production had a crew of German, Latvian, Estonian, Lithuanian, Russian and Finnish people.
We went straight from the Riga airport to the production office where we had to meet the directors and go through the whole schedule. On Day One all the scenes in the beach house were taken, and the house was actually an old barn out on the Latvian countryside. The band did endless performance takes with and without the sandstorm... Late at night, we got sand make-up for the special effects shots at the end of the video. When the daughter of the man who owned the barn tried to tell her friends at school that The Rasmus were doing a video in their barn, they did not believe her... The whole band stayed at a spa hotel in Jurmala, where we could do some serious sauna sessions, salty, steamy, hot... On Day Two, we went to Mersraga Baka, a beautiful beach with miles and miles of white sand. I did my performance shots, walking on the beach. Everything went according to plans, and the weather was perfect for the shoot, with dramatic clouds in the sky - but no rain. We also took the opportunity to do some new photos together with the talented Austrian photographer Ingo Pertramer. It was a cool experience to do the video and to get to see a bit of Latvia."


[infomation from the rasmus newsletter]

Sail Away is a very beautiful song, very good choice on their part. Thanks for posting the info about the video, littleleena!!!

<33333

yesterday i see on tv one concert, i just going to said... i prefer the sounds of the cd!...

I can't really understand. I saw them 2 weeks ago and their concert seriously rocked, we even had an acoustic set with old songs.
Even my sister who doesn't like them was impressed.
Well, that's just my opinion... But I will go to their concert each time they will come back in my town.:rolleyes:

I Brought Hide From the sun today!!!!!!!! I Love it will listen to it tonite when i got to sleep

EDIT 200th Post

wow, hell, they were good live... I didn't like the new album that much at first but live they showed me how much they still rock. Awesome. Tracks like Last Generation that don't really seem too 'sparkling' were the highlights of the show. I loved the guitars in that one. I can just give everybody the advice: get tickets if you can! It's definitely worth it!

Has anybody had any problems with the Rasmus Player at all?? because i wanna put it on my puter but i don't wanna stuff up the puter

I absolutely love the new album but the guys aren't coming to Ireland this time. :( they are posting on www.therasmusforum.com about thier tour by the way.

I don't know why!... but really... my impression was terrible!
And about the new video is cool, the song is very nice!

This is kind of random butdoesn't it seem like most of the really good metal bands com from Finland? Examples:
1.Nightwish
2.Apocalyptica
3.The Rasmus
4.HIM
*sniffs* smells like conspiracy :)

Tomorrow will be my last gig for this year.... *sighs*

But The Rasmus is not metal!

Tomorrow will be my last gig for this year.... *sighs*

Aww, well hope it's great, the band has been doing great gig lately.
Just hopefully they'll come to Ireland next time they tour.

One of my fave band,any fan here?
my fave song are Immortal/Small Town/Last waltz/Chill/Funeral Song.......................... *too much*

I think the rasmus is a very good band..I have the cd's Dead letters and hide from the sun. My fav songs are..funeral song, lucifers angel, in my life and still standing..

I also love these guys!

Im so happy that they are coming to argentina on 29th march!!:D

:( i give up. they wont come to america.

Why you guys like The Rasmus ? they are so comercila... in my opinion

your so lucky,btw:how much the ticket?
they said they will sing a lot of festivals in this year,so i think they're not visit a lot of countries now.(but i'm kinda sad they just visit Japan).

someone sent me their song "not like the other girls"
i love it!
im most likely buying this CD :D
(and btw i clicked on kstar's link and it was le DEAD)

this song is talking one of Lauri's friend,i love this song.

Well *coughs* they are finnish and i love them... I have been to their concerts twice and they were so good in performance... And they are especially so good in covering songs, You guys shoul hear 'play dead' by Bjork... I am crazy about Bjork and i thought noone could ever dare to cover her songs and end up with a great outcome just like TR's... The Rasmus are really good, though they are more likely to do 80's music... Which is fine with me actually... I like 80's as well... :)

they both have great version of this song.

I'm going to post in this thread, although I think The Rasmus sucks. A lot. What I like is their music before they added The in front of their name. The first three albums (Peep, Playboys and Hellofatester) were absolutely amazing. They had a nice funky thing going on, but then for some reason they started to do generic pop/rock songs. It's really sad :(

I'm not here to flame, but they changed their style so completely I'd almost consider them as different band.

they're not generic pop/pop rock band,but i think this changed can makes them become famous,so i think it's a good things.but i agree with u they have alot funky songs on the 3 older albums.

I really can't agree with that. I don't think that any band should change their style for fame. The music should be done for the artists themselves, not for the fans.

totally my opinion
this pop-hit sound is making me sick...they use the current goth hype to succeed with their artificial meaningless lyrics
sorry but for me they are just another band made for selling records

my opinion of this video

i think the director just combine First day of my life/Guilty/No fear/In my life & sail away,they dont have any "new"idea of this video,even i love the idea of the planet(Mars),but just too boring for me.actually they can put a lot of intersting things on the video(like the real shot scene,someone take a shot or have some bleeding scenes),but they don't.

Hi there,

Well I heard this band and saw them live for the first time last night. They are playing 3 gigs here in South Africa. I have to say that I really enjoyed their music and won one of their cd's. I have not yet listened to the album yet as I am catching up on some sleep, the concert lasted 12 hours, and then went to an afterparty and got home at 4am this morning. Amongst the Rasmus, was Seether, Collective Soul, Simple plan and Metallica, and many more.

An awesome day:D

Lou

Ive been to one concert and have all their albums accept for "Hellofatester" and "Dead Letters". They are just as great live as they are on the records. I really admire them, the lead singer, Lauri, is only 26 (Am I right) and they have already released 6 albums!!:eek: ;)

The Rasmus have released 5 albums

Peep
Playboys
Hellofatester
Into
Dead Letters
Hide From The Sun

I've seen them a few times in concert (I even have Lauri's towel!) I must say they put on a great show. I like the cover versions they do.

By the way whoever said that they were using the goth image to promote themselves is slightly mistaken. After Into, the band were naturally progressing towards a heavier sound (remember they were signed at 15, so they were only kids). Their 1st three albums are crap, but you can see with Into how their sound was changing...getting darker, heavier, and more mature. They had a disagreement with their record label over this and they then signed to an Indie label and released Dead Letters. If they were so commercial then why did they leave a major label, when they were asked to compromise their music for a more mainstream sound.

Any news on a new songle or video any time soon?

The new single is Shot and the video is on the rasmus website.

Really? That's weird. I was looking at that and it reminded me if they were doing a new one.... I weirded out there soz, lol. ;)

their old stuff is crap:confused: :confused: ????actually i love their old stuff more than the new one.

I love their old stuff too, it's better then the new records if you asked me. And when I said that they hade released 6 albums, I counted in Hellofacollection...

Yeah The Rasmus rocks.....they are really good since
the day one.....

oh wow! they're finnish??? haha i thought they were american! my friend made me download 'In the shadows' haha wow thats a surprise!

Yeah! The Rasmus are ace. There new album Hide from the Sun is great.

Lauri's hair is a bit of a mess tho. I think i'm just bitter 'cos i tried to copy it once...

Haha I would NEVER try to do that...hours and hours in front of the mirror, Id give up before I even started:p
Yeah I agree, the new album is great..If you look at their style you can tell that they are more dark and serious than they were before. They've gone from party-rock to hardrock and almost a bit goth...both styles worked out great for them. I think that they should have a world wide "The Rasmus old-school tour" sometime, that would be awsome:D :)

I love them, but there is only one song that I dont like toooo much:

"F-f-f-f-Falling"

I dont know why.. ahah, but for me it sounds strange.

I love that song! its a really good song performed live, as you can jump around a lot to it!

Hey Errant Soul, you didn't go to any of their concerts while they were in Ireland, did you?

I went to them all, I loved it all so much. <3333£3

I went to both the Dublin gigs and I have Lauri's towel, which he threw into the crowd at the TBMC gig.

Lucky!
I'm surprised I didn't see you, I was at both the Dublin gigs and the Belfast one. The Belfast one was amazing, only about 100-120 people at the concert at most, in a tiny venue, with the band spilling over the stage edge.:D

I was a bit of a TR obsessive when I was younger. >.<

I would've liked to go up to Belfast but it was just too far away from me to get to at the time. Still, they're a great live act. The Ambassador gig was really good. I liked the acoustic set.

Oh, I love The rasmus so much! Soon, The Rasmus will visit my city. I`m gladhttp://i1.tinypic.com/zn3j42.jpg

I've been a fan for some time. Now I'm not a fan but I still like some songs. I was on a concert at 4 February in Russia and the next day was my birthday so I remember it. The show was really good. I enjoyed it.

I love reading your stories about seeing them live - hopefully one day they will visit the US...

I love that song! its a really good song performed live, as you can jump around a lot to it!
I know, that was what I expected, but when I went to their concert, they played it aucustic, I had really been looking forward to jump around to F-F-F-Falling:( ...it was good anyway though. They played Chill aucustic too, which was awsome!:D

oh...this thread has been a long time no nobody replys
The rasmus is one of my favorite bands...;)
They music is great...many songs are amazing...
Aki(drummer)is the member of the rasmus I most like.
He is always cool and charming,especially when he is drumming :D
you can easily hear the strong drumbeat in their song,I lovin it!
And...the vocal's voice...I call it unique and attractive(though some people call it terrible:rolleyes: ...haha...I still like them:) )

don't let this thread fall away~~!!;)

Yes, The Rasmus are a very good band with good songs especially In the Shadows and In my Life they're my 2 favourite songs:D :D

Don't The Rasmus have a new album out?

I like their album Dead Letters, a lot of great tracks on there. My mum even likes them haha. Didn't see that one comming :rolleyes:

Aki(drummer)is the member of the rasmus I most like.
He is always cool and charming,especially when he is drumming :D
you can easily hear the strong drumbeat in their song,I lovin it!
Yeah, Aki recently got laser eye sugery and he doesn't wear his glasses anymore. There's people on another board freaking out a bit, saying he isn't Aki anymore. :rolleyes:

Yep, the new album, which is now a few months old, is called Hide From the Sun, SlowlyEyeFade.:)

i love the ramus, they are my favorite band with evanescence, i love their music it's just amazing :D
