Jojo translation service: Come on you people, read closely and you'll get the drift! She means that like Metallica have become synonym with doing everything for money, sooner or later every artist , whether single one or band, is identified with (become synonym of) a certain idea or belief. And there are legends going around about certain artists like Marilyn Manson for example who is said to have made an agreement with the devil and so on. That's all she said. Thanks, 5 pounds for the translation Matt...

I can see why this would be hard to understand, but I did understand most of it though. Maybe cause I've made all those grammatical and etc mistakes myself lol

 

[Usiel]

I was just trying to say that sometimes people say things about the bands which isnt true at all, you know? how does everyone knon that Metallica did that, whatever you think, everything, just for money? why? It's the same example I've put about the devil's deal.. you know, I dont believe anything of this; I think people have to make some legends about their stars to have some fun.

Anyway, I'm so sorry about my english. I know it isnt good enough, and for this reason, you didnt understand what I've tried to say. Forgive me

 

[Friðbjörn]

don't beat yourself down like that, it's all good

 

[Yackiestinger]

marilyn manson..he is just a poor poser who makes money by convincing uneducated kids that he's antichrist, or whatever... He makes only a big show. I bet he does not stand 1% behind his words.

Well, I went off topic

Usiel, it's alright. I managed to understand things. My english sucks too cuz it's not my mother language.

 

[Usiel]

You're very kind, Friðbjörn, but they're right. If they cant understand what I've said, something is going in a bad way, and, obviously, they arent at all; it's me, it's my english and the wrong use I do of it when I give my opinion about a thread. I think that in these cases, it's my obligation to excuse me to everyone; at least I can have a horrible english but I'm still a polite person

 

[Stenners]

naaaah dont be daft, these forums are techniquall international, we shouldn't expect everyone to speak perfect english.

 

[crazy robster]

Aww aren't you sweet?? It's all good my friend, it's all good! *hugs* A little good will is enough and we can all understand each other in here!

I think it really just depends on the tastes of the person. Marilyn Manson's covers are okay though I do prefer the originals. One example of covers that don't matter to me would be Enjoy the Silence which was originally done by Depeche Mode and covered by Lacuna Coil. I happen to like both versions a lot. So I think it really just depends on what type of music you like in the end.

And What about Bon Jovi?? Well, actually, I didnt know If he has made a cover of a song... but, well, anyway, yesterday I was bored and I dont know how but I found some information about the new album of Bon jovi... I havent listened it yet, but I found something quite curious... do you know there is a song called "One Step Closer"?? ... have you listened it? how is it?
