Ambassador leatheroo Posted August 24, 2008 Ambassador Report Posted August 24, 2008 I'll chuck this one out there. Someone ridiculed the singer for supporting the troops so in true Aussie fashion she stuck it up em. P.S. A digger is an Australian soldier. http://www.youtube.com/results?search_quer..._type=&aq=f Always good for a look Barra nice song, never heard this before, thanks barra Quote "]http://leatheroo.blogspot
Members CitizenKate Posted August 25, 2008 Author Members Report Posted August 25, 2008 I noticed him, esp. after reading the comments. I didn't really recognize him...though my husband informed me that he's not on the album, as was noted by many of the viewers.It's still a great video. Yeah, he was just a video prop, more or less, albeit a very convincing one. I agree, great performance, and I loved the scenario! ps did you know cats have a gene that either makes them like catnip or not? My first cat could not have cared less about it. I did. My other cat is completely unaffected by it, and I had anothe cat years ago who was the same way. Kate Quote

I wonder where the term "digger" came from... was it WWI, when much of the war was fought in trenches? Kate Quote

Members CitizenKate Posted August 25, 2008 Author Members Report Posted August 25, 2008 I never knew anything about Viking music until today. Cool vid, and a nice mini-lesson in Scandanavian ethnomusicology. Thanks for posting that, Tom. Kate PS: Italian??? Reminds me of the concept of the "spaghetti western". Those who like heavy music may be able to trace this bands influences to a certain american viking band (most members Italian origin) from the 80's, the mighty the brave..Manowar.Bathory is the name and Jonas (Boss) used to play the drums and the only other real member was Quorthon (in essence, he is he band) who has now been sent on to the great golden hall. Oh and I don't expect so many people here to like it but it's not the ultra fast music with growling singing that has put Scandinavia on the metal map forever. Quote

Thanks for posting that, Tom. Kate PS: Italian??? Reminds me of the concept of the "spaghetti western". Your welcome Kate! His like the father of viking metal and also another genre. Always when Manowar comes to Sweden and are being interviewed they are almost blushing about this Italian origin and almost appologize for their existence, lol. It's very fun to watch on TV. Funny you mention spaghetti western because they look like comic book vikings, at least in the 80's. For all I know, there were alot of viking drop off's in Italy during this era.
