StormWarrior

Cool new Swedish band who just came along recently:

Motley Crue

I love this band too, ive been listening to them for ages, but afraid I have some extremely bad news...the lead signer Dave Leopard dropped dead on Jan 30th 2006...the only gig the band ever played outside Sweeden was the Download Festival 2005...I have to say I absolutely love this band and have their album but was so gutted when I found what had happened. Apparently the first 'Hair Metal' band in over 10 years to be signed to a major label.

The band have said they will continue, but that does not necesscarily mean they will use the Crashdiet name

Some cool videos, their best song is 'Riot in Everybody'

Just for the record, this was all the gigs they ever played, they even managed to support Eric Singer!

you want a really good band from sweeden that plays this kind of music, try Hardcore Superstars www.hardcoresuperstar.com or Gemini 5 www.gemini5.net and i think youll be suprised at the talent

Apparently he hung himself, he suffered from depression i think

Moral of the story: Don't be in a hair metal band.

by the way, hardcore superstar are really crap. They are nothing like 80s sleaze. I saw them at sweden rock and they sucked.
