ra ra rasputin, russias greatest love machine.... i remeber when my dad used to play this.. horrible then, horrible now.

and now they're tryin to compete with hip hop videos, with all those bikini chicks and a pimp? meh

though i guess it would be a fun song if you were drunk...

sorry, experiences with boney m and other disco acts in my childhood, prohibit me from enjoying any kind of reference to that era of music.

:D What the F**k is Battle Metal ?

Metal is becoming like baked beans......there`s so many different varieties !! [ most of which i`m afraid to say are S**t ]

Manowar are total & were total cr@p ! why do so many Europeans want to copy them ?

that was the problem of the disco era.. it's catchy, but it's obnoxious use of synths and everything newly electronic, makes it SUCK

Chic is the sole reason I don't start a rant regarding the evils of disco

They do it because nothing genuinely new has happened to the genre for years.

It's a sad state of affairs for metal when the only thing which really separates bands is their costumes.

I may well take some flack for this, but unless someone can show me a band where I can A) bear to listen through an entire track and B) don't immediately think "trying to be slayer/metallica/iron maiden/whoever" I'm sticking by it.

I'm not saying there aren't current metal bands about who I like (SOAD being my particular favourite), and I don't think indie is any better, but I do think this, riff harder, scream louder, different hat; voila! new genre thing is ridiculous.

I wouldn't call Turisas something like that, they have a violin player and an accordion player, who else has that, more to the point where do you find a metal playing accordion player?!?!
So they are doing something different imo.
