Getting Started (Top 5 Songs & Players)

Okay so my bad for not posting yesterday, it's been crazy busy here in Sweden.

I'll throw in both Top 5 lists for yesterday and today, and as a bonus, i'll throw in a nice YouTube clip for you all.

So far Swedens been great(like always), and even though this visit is closing in on its end, its been all worth it. Still a couple days left though, so i'll make the most of it.


Nothing else to say, let's get to those tasty lists.


Yesterday was Top 5 Songs, here is that precious list:

Top 5 - Songs


5. Iron Maiden - Remember Tomorrow
4. Megadeth - Tornado Of Souls
3. The Rolling Stones - Gimmie Shelter
2. Iron Maiden - Transylvania
1. Georghe Zamfir, James Last - The Lonely Shepherd

Oh how lucky those Iron Maidens are, not only one but two songs on that chart. Well, this is something that you might see sometimes. Anyways, not much to say about this list except listen to those tunes, and I'm fairly certain you won't regret it.

The king whopper is The Lonely Shepherd, heard from Kill Bill Vol. 1, and frankly, I think this one is gonna be around on that list for a long time. So beautiful.


Next we got the NHL Players list. Ah. Since i'm such a NHL freak, this was a necessity to have here. I only wish I had time to write more about my thoughts on NHL and so on, but this will have to do.

So all NHL fans, here it comes!


5. Henrik Zetterberg - Detroit Red Wings
4. Niko Kapanen - Phoenix Coyotes
3. Niklas Bäckström - Washington Capitals
2. Niklas Hagman- Dallas Stars
1. Evgeni Malkin - Pittsburgh Penguins

I really wanted to place Niklas Hagman on No.1, but thats a place for a real consistent player who will always show his best. But that doesnt mean Hagman doesnt deserve it. He's got 21 goals so far, his career best, and he shows every single game his strenght and will to score and beat the teams. I want Dallas to drop out of the Stanley race ASAP, so Finland can have him on the World Championships.

The number 1 spot goes of course to the Russian, Malkin. No, not Ovechkin. Malkin excels Ovechkin in many ways. You might say "Ovechkin got more goals and points." Yes, as true as that might be, I think Malkin will evolve into a better player, than Ovechkin. He's got great stick handling, incredible speed, and a shot better than Brett Hull. He's a true sniper. Now that Crosby has been gone, Malkin has got the room and attention he deserves at the Pens lineup.
I only hope that when Sid returns, Malkin still has the same flame burning...

Here's a clip, that explains all my babble.







So thats all folks!

Tomorrow i'll get back with another Top 5, and some updates on some other unimportant stuff!


Have a good one!

3. - Unknown

Todd: But you just said there was!
Janitor:

1. The Simpsons - Homer "The Man" Simpson

"Son, when a woman says nothing's wrong, it means everything's wrong. When a woman says everything's wrong, it means everything's wrong. And when a woman says that something *isn't* funny, you'd better not laugh your ass off!"



Have a good one! Cya Sunday!

New days, New routines, New lists

Hello there my cheeky monkeys!!

Okay that was a terrible rip off from Craig Ferguson, but I meant those words more than he does.


So sorry for the abscence(yet again). Following up with this blogging has been hard, with so many distractions and other things get in the way, not to mention the lack of stuff to put out here.

But fear no more, Viator is back in business!

Hopefully you readers are still out there, especially you loyal ones who have been with me from the start. Things are gonna change around here.

Here is a preliminary schedule that i'll use from now on. Basically there's always going to be stuff here to read, every single day. Some days more, some days less. But i'll really try to add plenty of stuff.

Now you're thinking "Well, what kind of stuff? I need to know so I know why I should waste 10minutes of my life reading this crap."

Well thank you for this 3 minutes now it's taken you to read this, and keep that clock going, cause its not stopping yet.

Yes, well I'm going to write about everything. Almost everything. Well okay, hockey, rock, movies and a hell of a lot comedy!

I'll just write about stuff I want you people to put your mind on a little. Things that deserve attention. And since I know all of you love Lists, I'll try to put a Top 5/10/20 list almost every day, so you'll have something to drool at.

Here's the schedule:

Mondays: Top 5 - Songs(rock, metal, thrash)
Tuesdays: Top 5 - Hockey Players(NHL)
Wednesdays: Top 5 - TV Shows
Thursdays: Top 5 - Live Performances
Friday: Top 5 - Movies
Saturday: Top 5 - Quotes
Sunday: This is God's day, nothing happens here. (No I'm not religious)


So hopefully there's a little bit of something for everyone during a week. If you are a hockey person, just check in every tuesday and see why I value some players more than others and that stuff. Or if you are a TV freak, check in on wednesdays.


It's gonna be interesting to see how long i'll be able to keep up with this. So why don't you all make a bet or something, place a wager on how long.

Cause you know, just for fun. Life is what you make it. Make it fun.


Your dearest lover

"...a couple hundred years ago, my last name was Mustonen..."

And so it ended. With Dave thanking for a great night.

I'm sorry for not letting you guys know earlier, but I just came back from the Megadeth concert here in Finland!

Their first stop on their European tour of "United Abominations".

Oh...so much could be said about this concert. First I'll start with complaints, because I wanna leave a sweet and delicious taste in my mouth after this is done.

The acoustic setting of the arena(Helsingin Jäähalli) sucked. Seriously, the first four songs I could barely hear Chris soloing, or Daves singing. It was awful. Then later it got better and better, but it was somewhat of a big turnoff.

This is not suprising, considering that Chris is so new to the band, and many of the solos dont come as naturally as they should, it was obvious in a couple songs. But nevertheless, he definetly nailed my favourite solo "Tornado Of Souls", that was mindblowing.

Third, and most annoying thing of all....the supporting bands. Oh my god.

Volbeat and Ensiferum. Thank god we were a little late, and didnt get to hear Ensiferum that much. But Volbeat... they sucked so bad, If it was any other band than Megadeth, I would have walked away. I seriously wanted to kill myself when they played their punk-metal sucky ass shitty earfucking songs. Sorry, but I still can't wash away their godawful music from my ears.

But then miracle happened...


After 20min that Volbeat left the stage, entered Dave. Sleepwalker began.

My entire body shivered as he walked in. With his golden hair, and his beautiful Dean flying-v.

That feeling stayed throughout the entire concert. It was a memorable night.

One thing though: Please play more songs. It ended rather fast.

And one more thing, not that many from the New album. They are all good, but not THAT good. So a couple more oldies and I'd be set for life.

Thank you Dave, Chris, Shawn and James.


Report Card

Final Grade: A-

+ Good Setlist
+ Tornado Of Souls and Peace Sells kicked ass.
+ Dave was on fire. Absolute God.
+ Less talk, more playing.

- Too short.
- Acoustic setting, sucked. (Blaming the arena)

And here is the setlist as I comprehended it. This isnt 100%, cause my memory sucks ass, and the second, third and fourth song I couldnt hear that well so I have basically no idea what they were.

1. Sleepwalker
2. ??
3. ??
4. ??
5. Washington Is Next!
6. Hangar 18
7. Gears Of War
8. In My Darkest Hour

10. A Tout Le Monde
11. Never Walk Alone..A Call To Arms
12. Symphony Of Destruction
13. Trust
14. Peace Sells
15. Holy Wars...The Punishment Due



Best song:

Peace Sells - Everyone singing along. I was in tears.
Holy Wars - No better way to end it all.

Worst song:

Never Walk Alone..A Call To Arms - Something didnt feel right...




Thank you and good night!

Dream Set Lists, Part Three

Time for Iron Maiden!

This one is more tough for me, cause I'm not that attuned with all of Maidens albums.

So this one will be a little shorter than 15 songs. But nevertheless, this concert will kick ASS!

Lets get going!



--Intro--
1. Prowler (The intro song is difficult with Maiden, but I think beginning with this will get everyone extatic!)
2. Charlotte The Harlot (great follow up, everyone singing along with the chorus)
3. Flight Of The Irus (it gets heavier. one of my favourite songs)
4. Wasted Years (another favourite, this one raises the roof)
5. Die With Your Boots On (A classic. This one before the intermission)
--Intermission--
6. Brave New World (one of the few "new songs", that are extremely good.)
7. The Trooper (This one give me chills. Everyone sings along with Bruce.)
8. Run To The Hills (This one should always be midway, everyone singing the chorus. Wonderful)
9. Phantom Of The Opera (another old classic. Bruce can do the vocals good.)
10. Remember Tomorrow (Love this song. We're closing in on the finish.)
--Intermission 2--
11. 2 Minutes To Midnight (Essential. Wonderful chorus.)
12. The Number Of The Beast (Peak of the show. Everone loves this one. The solos kicks ass!)
13. The Wicker Man (before the finish, we need this one.)
14. Hallowed Be Thy Name (The big finish. After this is done, its thank you and goodbye.)


Here you have the ultimate Iron Maiden set list.

Next in line... Pantera!

Dream Set Lists, Part Two

Alright next in line we have MEGADETH!

Due to the lack of clips around the internet with Megadeth live, this one is more difficult.

Though with my attuned senses I think i'll manage this anyway.

Lets get going!


Same rules apply.


--Intro--
1. Sleepwalker (United Abominations is hailed for a reason, best intro. Get everyone warmed up)
2. Rattlehead (Great followup. Keep em warm!)
3. Washington Is Next! (Another great from UA, Dave needs to do the vocals extremely well here.)
4. Mary Jane (one of my favourites. Love this one.)
5. In My Darkest Hour (last one before the intermission.)
--Intermission--
6. Trust (Everyone sings along. Epic song.)
7. Tornado Of Souls (With Marty, this one should knock them off the ground)
8. Hangar 18 (Solos important here, crowd getting wilder here)
9. Symphony Of Destruction ( great finish, now for the second intermission)
--Intermission 2--
10. Last Rites/Loved To Deth (great intro, great song. Crowd getting warm again)
11. She-Wolf (good follow up, closing in on the finish)
12. Rust In Peace..Polaris (with everyone singing along with the chorus, I'm getting wild just thinking about it)
13. Countdown To Extinction (The last minute is beautiful, crowd just waiting for the big finish)
14. Holy Wars...The Punishment Due (the big finish. After this is done, its thank you and goodbye)


Amazing list.
