- This was a special moment of commemoration, in a genre to which I have very little attachment. But I found the music to be incredibly compelling and inspiring in a way that I truly did not expect. If you watch this video, you will hear the tragic story.
Please share, and encourage your friends to share. We would very much like this message of support and appreciation to reach the sole surviving band member, Andrei Găluț!
Am comemorat șapte ani de la incendiul din Colectiv, trupa Goodbye to Gravity și toți cei 64 de tineri frumoși care au pierit acolo. Se pare că Andrei Găluț, singurul supraviețuitor al trupei, este încă internat în SUA. Am vrea ca acest mesaj să ajungă la el. Te rog, dă un share și ajută-ne să ajungem la Andrei. Mulțumim!
Here’s the link to the original song by Goodbye To Gravity:

RIP to the members of the Goodbye to Gravity and those who lost their lives, in a senseless avoidable situation.
As a musician and metalhead, I am hit with an awful impact of what occurs when events like this take place. It is why we have rules and regulations, particularly when Pyrotechnique's are involved. A dreadful loss of life indeed.
As for the song and band. Although I am not a Metal Core fan, I certainly respect the artform and truly appreciate what they are doing and how they are doing it. The years of work it takes to make the band "tight" is significant, more time than many would give it credit for. In addition, to make one's voice work the way it it does in this band take a great deal of practice so as not to destroy the vocal folds in one's voice. The thing I do really like about this song, and Amy, you pointed it out, is the atmosphere it creates. Metal is one of the few genres of music that can convey the darker side of life, the chaos, the misery and tragedy, which is ironic due to what would happen at this show. For me, I don't always want to hear about happy, wishful thinking, "pleasant" songs, sometimes I want to hear the bad things and I want it provided on those honest terms, which of course requires and hugely aggressive and "in your face" level of performance. Metal Core, although bordering on Extreme Metal is certainly not as aggressive as Grind Core, Death Metal, or certain Black Metal (and their subgenres) but it does come close. Goodbey to Gravity, does an excellent job of performing this style of music. Like many of those of us who are "open minded" will tell you, the music and its content may not be our "cup of tea" but for me, I can see the immense amount of talent and hard work it took the members of this band to pull their repertoire of music together. It is such a tragedy that their lives were cut short, and I expect their family and friends sincerely mourn their loss... AS IT SHOULD BE!!!!! My condolences Vlad.
What a beautiful gesture for people who've endured a horrific event. Hats off to you Vlad, you have a good heart.
You've hit the nail on the head when you talk about the sense of power that heavy music like this embodies. It can be angry, sad, and everything between, but at its heart, it's about making the audience feel heard and offer a sense of support and act as a source of power.
Heavy metal, despite sounding angry, tends to comfort it's listeners. It embodies the strength of our emotions, and turns them into raw sound.
Thanks Vlad for bringing this to our attention. You had a very powerful opening message containing much wisdom that can be had from such a tragic event. A very talented band, you are doing your part in bringing them to our attention, not just because of the story, but because they were a great band. I like most metal, but often don't like the harsh vocal style, but it worked really well in this song. Very powerful and meaningful lyrics. (edit: I also want to add that Amy also had incredible words of wisdom as she reflected on the song)
A very powerful message from a horrible situation. Thanks for telling this story.
My heart goes out to the families and to those who survived. Actually, here in Brazil, there has been a similar tragedy in January, 2013. 202 died and 636 where injured in a fire in a night club. 4 people, among them the vocalist of the band playing, who shot a firework that started the fire and the owners of the club where convicted to 18 to 22 years of imprisonment. So sad !!!
The interplay… between the bass and the guitars, between the bass and the drums, between the guitar and the vocals, between the song sections, between the vocal styles, between heaviness and lift, and of course between the lyrics and reality 💔 Most moved I’ve been yet by a song I didn’t already know. I’m looking forward to the in-depth analysis. Thanks for bringing attention to this music and tragedy, and keep shining your light, Amy and Vlad!
Think she did the in-depth within this video.
I have two things to say but before that, thank you. This is very personal to me.
I am in Romania, I'm a rock musician and also classically trained with a PhD in Musicology. I lost five people I personally knew that day. I knew all the members of the band, from when they were younger and playing in different bands, I shared the stage with them often.
Plus there was Adrian Rugină, who organized one of the best concerts I've ever played in.
He died a hero. Got out of the club and went back five times to save others. He saved four, the fifth time couldn't come out. Our former producer, also our web designer suffered severe injuries, the latter being treated for months in Israel. So this one hits home. The producer's wife went home just ten minutes before the fire started saying that she's too tired. They have a daughter who was 4 at the time.
At that time I was working in a high school as a music teacher. Just two weeks before the tragedy I was talking to my students about disco. Both the musical genre and the institution.
I read to them some sad statistics about fires, shootings, stampedes that claimed lives in such venues through the years and I remember telling them: If you ever go to such a place, do yourselves a favor and before the fun begins locate the exits. I never thought that my warning will gain so much weight within just two weeks.
My other remark is regarding harsh vocals.
There are several ways and techniques to achieve that safely and in a healthy manner. Since I also work as a vocal coach, i am familiar with some of them. The thing is, listening to this kind of interpretation and understanding the words takes some getting used to. Some vocalists are very good at growling in an intelligible way, even female growlers, such as Alissa White-Gluz or Tatyana Shmaylyuk.
In time, as you listen to more and more songs that feature such harsh vocals you'll be able to discern more and more.
Oh, and most Romanians from that generation and younger have a pretty decent command of English. I am myself a lyricist in my band :)
Thank you, Ferenc for this message! We hope that our message will eventually get to Andrei as we would very much like to get in touch with him and help him in any way we can. Also, it would be nice to keep in touch; maybe one day we’ll get together in person and talk more about music!
@@VirginRock Thank you. I was thinking that maybe I can reach Andrei somehow to send him the link for this video, but now I have no direct contact to him. I will reach out with my antennas through the weekend though, maybe some of our mutual acquaintances knows how to find him. I'd be very happy to help you out with anything through this journey, especially since I'm at home in both musical worlds equally. It'd be great to get together indeed, until that can happen I will keep commenting and making observations. Feel free to contact me in any way, ask me any questions that might occur to you any time!
@@ferencercseyravasz7301 That sounds great! I hope you will get to Andrei! As for our future conversations, maybe we should use emails. If you are okay with that, please use my email (you'll find it at the About tab of my channel).
@@VirginRock Hi, I emailed you just now :)
Vlad, thank you for this. I am so sorry for all involved. I know this is close to your heart.
I am rather happy I got to hear that. Thank you, Vlad.
Thanks for your kind words Amy, and thanks to Vlad for commemorating this tragic event. I'm not too much into metalcore and have liked a few groups or songs of this genre in the past but this one was surprisingly a good one. I also really liked how Amy did dissect it on the fly. Even she's not familiar with the genre still her musical teaching background makes it possible to provide us with valuable insight on what the music, the lyrics are conveying to us.
In 2003 there was a fire in a Rhode Island club when the band Great White was playing. 100 people died, well over 200 people were injured, the fire started during the first song when the band's manager set off some pyrotechnics.
I'm not trying to minimize this incident, what I'm saying is people have to be very careful and very aware when attending an event in a small venue because in the end, you're responsible for yourself, an unfortunate but true reality. I went to see Ritchie Blackmore at a small club in NJ years ago, the owners were known to be corrupt and not only oversold tickets, they also let anyone in without tickets as long as they had money. Sometime during the first song we could feel the push of the crowd behind us, we were close to the stage. We decided to leave during the first song because we didn't feel safe. Luckily nothing happened but it's not worth taking a chance with your life. If you don't feel safe, leave. Always make sure to check for exits no matter where you go in case something happens.
My heart goes out to everyone affected by that horrible tragedy, as well as the many others that have happened around the world. Reconsider staying to see a show, especially in a small club, where pyrotechnics are involved. Corruption is rampant in every business, on every level. Sometimes we can only count on ourselves to stay safe. 🙏🙏🙏
The corruption in Romania is I’m afraid profound. Your experience of leaving during the Blackmore show, is a good lesson to everyone. NEVER assume that someone has more intuition and knowledge than you feel over basic safety
@@yinoveryang4246 My Doctor is from Romania and from things he's told me, I imagine the corruption is on another level. It's horrible the way corruption trumps the lives of people who are doing nothing more than trying to enjoy themselves. Knowing there's a special level of Hell for those people does nothing to take away the pain and loss. It's beyond tragic.
Leaving the Blackmore show wasn't what I really wanted but my gut said get out asap. The owners of the club were literally mob-related, they cared about money and nothing more. Luckily I've seen Blackmore a bunch of times, with Deep Purple (to Amy, he's the guitar player in your Child In Time reaction), Rainbow, and Blackmore's Night. But even if it was the only time I saw him, I still would have left. I unfortunately saw the World Trade Center collapse, both Towers, from where I live in NJ. The smell of death and destruction lingered for what seemed like months and from the end of my street there was a clear view of the place they took all the debris, knowing there were people in those never-ending line of trucks made me sick. That day changed the way I looked at things any time I went anywhere. I always make sure to have an exit strategy everywhere I go now, and I always will. It's a horrible but necessary way to live your life 💔
@@Suzismymom And of course Ritchie Blackmore has a more poetic tie into such tragedies, by composing of the most famous guitar riffs ever in the song 'Smoke on the Water' about the fire at the casino venue in Montreux, Switzerland where they were recording. Fortunately in that case, they were able to get everybody out, although the fire destroyed the building.
@@Suzismymom Most of Eastern Europe is still like that, from my experience. But three people I met recently from Romania told me it's bad there. After the fall off the wall, basically, the same people that were in positions of power during communism, kept their jobs. This cannot help the psychological state of affairs and peoples trust in their neighbours in Eastern Europe. I suspect that when a way of life, certain power-structures, become culturally ingrained - it takes a long time to eliminate it. With human nature, sometimes all you can do is pray. 🙏Disasters are bound to happen, through negligence and greed. Some like 9/11, are more man-made. There's a difference.
@@LeeKennison It sometimes amazes me the way things are connected! Thank you for mentioning that, Smoke On The Water is such an iconic song (and one of the banned riffs in many guitar stores), I wonder, does everyone realize that song is about a real event? I mean, I imagine most of us here are either musicians and/or really into music and music history, but I wonder if the casual listener realizes it was real, and how lucky they, and we, were that everyone got out alive.
This was surprisingly pleasant given that I don’t normally go for this sort of thing.
Oh, I didn't know there was a Romanian guy behind this channel. Cool.
I was already away from Romania for many years when that happened, but I also heard about it and was shocked and saddened.
Salut to you and Vlad for this noble task.Wife is from Bucharest
Vlad: servus, @radhigh și salutări soției! Share to get to Andrei! We would so much like to help him.
Thank you Vlad 😢
I remember when this happened and was appalled by the lack of responsibility on the part of the club owners not just in the material and set up but in not ensuring the technicians didn't adhere to what few safety rules there were. I hope this tragedy is not lost upon the world and everyone learns from it moving forward, either as musicians, technicians or venue owners.
Blessings to all of the survivors and their families.
Sounds like what happened to American band Great White in a club in New England USA years ago.. sad and a terrible tragedy!! We must remember these poor innocent people that are VICTIMS of neglect!! That was wonderful of you to share this video
Love the message of the video as well as it being a reaction to a metalcore song in general. Thanks both of you!
I remember when this happened.
Pity, that I haven't checked the band which was playing there. It was the first listen for me too and I really appreciate that Vlad asked you not to interrupt the first listening.
Such a tragic story. My heart goes out to the families and survivors.
I'm a huge melodic hardcore and metalcore fan and I had never heard of this band or the tragedy which befell them. I wish I could have heard them sooner. It's obvious they are extraordinarily talented, bringing something new to the genre. *side note, you hit the nail on the head, this kind of music is meant to convey emotion and feeling using sound both rough and melodic. (example bullet ride from inflames) and your review is well balanced and respectful. Thank you.
So touching!❤❤❤
Thank for this video. It still haunts the metalhead community in Romania to this day. I am glad that the community remembers the victims.
Respect to all the victims. Amy, you have managed to make me appreciate a death metal song. No small feat. Thank you for a listen that was full of humanity.
I´ve never heard of this Band or the tragedy that happened 7 years ago. Usualy i dislike this kind of growling voices but having heard the story got me emotional attached and i really liked the song. I wonder if the song alone without the story would had the same impact on me. Thanks Vlad for bringing this to our attention.
Didnt know this band. And I love metalcore. Wow what a sad story
I have respect for the way you two, Amy and Vlad, are dealing with this terrible happening. I have looked untill the eleventh minute. I could not go any further, because it had to much impact on me, due to things i have experiences in the past. My thoughts are going to the victims of this disaster.
Some of the point of the "growl" is to sound utterly inhuman, without external enhancement. Completely startling and terrifying. It's very difficult to do without damage. It takes quite a while to get used to. It's not an art of beauty, it's an art of beastial intensity like an enraged bear ripping something apart.
I never heard of this band until the tragedy happened and it still saddens me. Thanks for bringing awareness (ESPECIALLY after the stampede in South Korea yesterday). I hope Vlad and Amy they do tribute for John Lennon and Dimebag Darrell in Nov, they both were murdered on the same day 25 years apart.
What a shame. So much lost of young lives 💔 😢
Not my cup of tea but respect to you guys for bringing awareness to this horrific tradgedy. We have certainly lost too many outstanding artists to a myriad of unfortunate incidents. May they all rest in peace and enjoy their journey in the next stage of existence.
Best wishes to the survivors and the families and friends of the victims. What a horrible tragedy! Having spent every other weekend at a small club gig for the past 25 years, I don't want to imagine what these people had to go through.
Something very similar to this - almost to a T - happened not far from where I live. No sprinklers, inadequate exits, insulation set on fire by pyro that the club owners never should have OK'd.
90+ deaths and 200+ hospitalizations.
I actually don't know if it garnered much national attention, but around here, it was a major shock that quickly became a larger scandal once the details of the owners' negligence started to trickle out. Beyond the fire itself, the deaths included club employees and the owners actually tried to stiff their families on compensation. It went to trial but the owners basically just got a slap on the wrist compared to what they were responsible for.
I had never heard of them, nor what happened. Thank you for sharing.
The situation reminds me of the White Stripes fire, and also of what happened at a club here in the Netherlands in Vollendam, during the 2000 to 2001 new years eve celebration. 14 died. 200 severely burned. Too many people inside and nearly no escape routes.
Hope this review reches Andrei. Much strength to all involved.
Very sad. Great band.
In advance, just try to be polite and respectful in the comments, both to Amy and Vlad and also to the band.
I can already imagine disappointent from many... but for those who don't know, without Vlad this channel wouldn't exist and this, from obvious reasons, means a lot to him, so just try to respet that.
I guess no one will read this, but anyway....
Most who comment on here are for the most part respectful.... I haven't seen any real disrespectful comments on any of the video's that are uploaded...
@@ogrebattle22763 I guess I am too sensitive, then...
@@jovana_r I get it though...
Well said Jovana
No idea what the point of this comment was.
There are at least 7.994 people that care not only about music but life struggles, in general
Well done as always! Thank you!
How tragic! Thank you for sharing this story! 😢 Andre stay strong! They were talented. The music is harsh but I hear the melody and message. I like the humanitarian message and chorus. Bless them all. It does sound like an intense battle by brave rebels. Great analysis Amy. Brilliant as always.
Never heard this song before. Or the band. The story is very similar to the Station nightclub fire in RI back in 2003. 100 people died and about 230 were injured. Similar situation where the club didn’t have proper fire proofing and exits. The band playing was Great White who were very popular in the 80’s. Horrible tragedy.
Metal vocals like that, when done properly so not to injure the vocalist's larynx, are projected through the skull like an opera singer. Lots of breath control.
I remember when this was in the news. What a nightmare situation for the guy who survived. I hope he's doing ok.
I didnt know about this tragedy (or maybe remember? In last decacade there was a few tragic fires in clubs in europe and latin america, if I remember correctly). I cant even imagine how it is to loose so many important people to you and your way of living in that short period of time. What a truelly poor guy. I dont know how he will find a will to carry on, but I hope he somehow managed/manages it.
It was your first metalcore song. Metalcore bands tend to blend low, growly vovlcals in verses, focused lyrically on more depressing, violent or just more emotionaly exausting aspects of topic of a song with clean, even slightly pop-y vocals on choruses, focused on more hopefull or emotionally relieving message of a song. The same goes for guitar riffs, motifes and melodies - lower, rithmic (often machine gun like mono note patterns) and more distorted in verses vs very melodic, often charmonised in choruses.
I enjoy when I’m hearing a song for the first time along with Amy, whose comments are very insightful. And a very poignant opening from Vlad - who has a strong on-camera presence too!
Sad circumstances to see you, but I’m glad to put a face to your voice.
I was in Cincinnati playing chess the day after the Who tragedy in 1979. Still haunts me.
Welcome to Metal.
It's angry music for happy people. It's a much deeper pool than it appears from the outside.
What a tremendous tragedy 😢
This is very similar to the story of Great White, although they only lost one band member in the club fire. 100 people died in that fire.
In similar musical style and with a similarly sad backstory, i would suggest Architects' "memento mori"
Heartbreaking 😢
Tragedy aside, I liked it. Sounded very much like Slipknot, Dethklok, and a bit of Lamb of God. Definitely not for everyone. But I can like this , Billie Holiday, Holger Czukay, Ed Bickert and just about everything the radio hasn't destroyed yet. Lots of good new music out there too, you just need to have an open mind and be in the right mood for it.
Hi Amy, Despite being heavily into metal music, the band, the song, and the tragedy that accompanied this performance were all unfamiliar to me. I gladly went in blind and experienced it all for the first time, together with you. I liked the actual song a great deal, but even more, your capacity to recognize its value as mind stimulation despite not being personally enamored of heavy music (at least not yet). 😁
Despited the tragic circumstances, I think the very nature of the tragedy, and the fact you knew of it before listening to the song, likely increased your capacity to "commune" with the lyrics and the overall tone of anger and outrage. As you listen to more and different types of heavy music, I suggest you keep in mind how and why this music is so compelling, most especially to youth, younger and not fully mature minds aged 8 to 25. As an educator, you may come to realize how this music fosters critical thinking skills regarding the most profound issues of human consciousness, within vulnerable and undeveloped minds that are being subjected to brutal ideological and indoctrinative assault.
The "aural assault" of heavy music is an antidote to the brainwashing, indictrination, and culling of critical thinking skills that every modern society undertakes against children and all with brains that are not fully developed, which means in most cases until age 30 at a minimum. Of course the actual conscious awareness and focus upon this fact by the heavy music lover is often very limited and submerged. The more immediate, visceral impact is almost always emotional, not intellectual. And yet the overall role of such music in broadening the individual mindscapes of countless millions, needs to be fully understood and appreciated by the music "scholar".
To broaden the definition of what is "corruption", it is good to understand that by far, the single greatest form of corruption is the universal culling of consciousness that EVERY child and adolescent is subjected to. The externally imposed narrowing of thought and mind process, so that every adult becomes trapped in a brain box, unable to see that almost everything about life is wrong, and CAN be changed, can be fixed, but will NEVER actually be fixed because the species itself has been culled of the mind freedom to perceive reality, truth, and possibility as it actually exists within the uncaged, newborn brain of every child.
And so heavy metal music revolves around the themes of pain, trauma, suffering, rage, victimization, revenge, attack. You can say it is all, in one way or another, a direct response to the universal child abuse that we are all subjected to. Because at its core, child abuse, no matter how it manifests, is simply the destruction of purity, freedom, and mind potential, the instinctual craving for truth and knowledge that every child initially possesses at birth, before the "corruption", never admitted to, never recognized or acknowledged as such by the collective consciousness of hopelessly mind-corruped humanity, is committed.
Take Care, Amy!
As someone already mentioned this also reminds me of the Great White concert fire at The Station nightclub in 2003, there are many similarities, I have never heard of this song or of the band but it none the less filled me with sadness and a feeling of mourning, I'm curious if Vlad knew of the band before this tragedy happened? either way it was a very emotional episode, you both have my great respect and gratitude.
Multe mulțumiri că după atîta vreme mai sînt inimi mărinimoase care nu i-au uitat pe dragii noștri de la Goodbye to Gravity și încearcă să le facă dreptate. Odihnească-se în pace cu toții și Dumnezeu să-i ierte.
Today is 30 October 2023,has passed 8 years.
I found the band after the tragedy(I'm romanian)
I'm sorry, but it is listed in the description.. So, we can know the band and the song.
True. Well, we did what we could....
Hopefully you will have the opportunity in the future to return to Deep Purple. Their song 'Smoke on the Water' has a more positive result from a similar potential tragedy. The lyrics are very descriptive of the fire that occurred at the casino they were recording at in Montreux, Switzerland. They were recording there at the same time Frank Zappa was doing a concert. Fortunately they were able to get everyone out, although the building was destroyed. I have a feeling it might be on the list of songs coming from Karl, since it has one of the most famous guitar riffs of all time.
The words and inspiration for the song yes.
The music for analysis..no.
Part of why the words are so hard to understand is that this type of vocals has no clearly defined pitch, only a frequency area where most of the sound happens. Your reactor colleague Elizabeth Zharoff from "The Charismatic Voice" has an excellent video about that, where she dissects the "pitch" in a spectrum analyzer. The song analyzed is the "Pain Remains" trilogy by Lorna Shore.
Link: ruclips.net/video/Di_I3bkDnPE/видео.html
Warning: You might enjoy the voice on "Pain Remains" even less than in this song. Will Ramos' voice is even more extreme and grating to someone new to heavy metal music. I still find it a bit much myself, after listening to a lot of extreme metal over the years.
By the way, I know exactly one singer with harsh vocals where the words are clearly understandable to me, and that is Alissa White-Gluz of Arch Enemy. So having difficulty here is to be expected.
Lauren Hart of Once Human has a great video explaining how to sing like this (before she learned the proper technique, she stated her throat would literally bleed while singing)
ruclips.net/video/VjICgCZx3p0/видео.html
Good point about undefined pitch, as this kind of singing (also called guttural vocals or death growls) is very different than singers like James from Metallica or Joe from Gojira, who are (mostly) singing in a shouting style (control of air compression resulting in vocal distortion) but to a defined pitch.
As to why these styles of vocals would be used....they are effective in conveying darker human emotions (anger (usually righteous), depression, trauma, disbelief, rage) in a way that clean vocals might be less effective.
I listened to the music not watching the video, and then i realized that my friend's friend died in this exact fire (namely Tullia Ciotola). While i had never been to Romania or Italy.
I also have to mention that some another Vlad and the corruption grown by him started another fire that already took about 100 000 lives and is still going on. Glory to Ukraine! Freedom to Russia!
Omg Vlad, scuze ca iti scriu in romana, dar e asa de dureros, iti Multumesc ca promovezi aceasti minunati oameni si muzica lor.P.S. Sotia ta este o persoana asa de minunata, atat de pura. Ma bucur ca te "suporta" si va intelegeti atat de bine.
Vlad: mă bucur că suntem împreună comemorând această pierdere. Nu uita: share! Sper să ajungă la Andrei! Poate va lua legătura cu noi; ne-am bucura să-l putem ajuta!
@@VirginRock Andrei nu dorește să mai aibă contact cu orice ar ține de Colectiv sau România.
corruption kills - also lack of education....
Where are the words that cut to the heart of someone that has lost so much.
Unfortunately, this disaster is all too representative of Romania. The authorities did not care to do their jobs, they used their positions to make some more money on the side, and were confident that nothing will go wrong. Well, it all went wrong. And as usual, all the wrong people suffered. The people that died there were blameless. Innocent bystanders that trusted the system. Most of the people that were forced to resign and even some that were found guilty were also not the ones to blame. Maybe some can be blamed for ignorance, but those that should have shouldered the blame will never be punished. Because, you see, in order to be allowed to profit off of Romanian corruption you have to be in with "the boys". You have to be part of the mafia. And they don't let their own take the fall. At most you get a slap on the wrist, but you'll be fine.
And thus the country goes on, from one disaster to another. The people in their state of powerlessness always take the hit. Then the people in charge take the tragedy and use it as political ammunition against their enemies. And so it is that despite literally executing our communist dictator by firing squad in 1989, communism is still alive and well in Romania. They just call it "social democracy" these days.
De ce se tot gaseste tot timpul cate un roman complexat de tot si de toate!??? De ce au impresia ca daca manaca rahat exagerat sunt mai reprezentativi???? O dam tot timpul pe politica, coruptie, comunism..... Daca citesti mesajele de mai sus, sunt cel putin 10 evenimente similare "all over the World", unele mult mai sinistre.... Si acolo tot coruptie, tot comunism???? Ce treaba a avut guvernul cu dezastrul respectiv???? Singurii vinovati PE BUNE au fost ORGANIZATORII, care stiau ca nu sunt autorizati si totusi au facut-o.... Ce trebuia sa faca guvernul sa pazeasca toate evenimentele organizate in toata tara in locatii neautorizate??? Pompierii si primaria isi facusera datoria - NU LE-A DAT AUTORIZATIA DE FUNCTIONARE.... Patronii clubului trebiau sa obtina autorizatie individual pentru organizarea evenimentului...NU AU FACUT-O!!!! A fost o nenorocire DATORATA DORINTEI DE IMBOGATIRE create de SOCIETATEA DE PIATA, de capitalismul salbatic, mon cher! Apoi chestia cu comunismul... Pai, in Republica SOCIALISTA Romania nu a fost comunism, a fost o societate socialista, o "societate socialista multilateral dezvoltata si cladirea drumului catre comunism" - spre care ne indreptam si acum sub "conducerea luminoasa" a Maretului Licurici de peste ocean.... Pe mine ma dezgusta arivismul politic al unuia care s-a catarat pe mortii si ranitii de la Colectiv pentru a-si consolida cariera politica. Pentru aceia, pentru familiie, prietenii lor... nu exista cuvinte de consolare, iar acest filmulet "face mai mult decat 1000 de cuvinte".... Thanks VirginRock! Multumesc Vald!
As someone else said, the song is in the description. I did avoid looking up that song, in order to preserve the 'pop' of the unopened Snapple bottle, but I clicked on a different song by them. I am prepared to suffer with you. I like a lot of heavy rock, and this band is over my weight limit. However, I hope that you're able to dissect the music with a more discerning ear than mine and find some interesting things to show us about it.
The ''metalcore'' genre is certainly a leap for someone getting introduced but it's nice.
As a metal fan, i really like the song. Its sound so 2000s. But all the story is so horrible.
I would like you to check out Kansas song- Icarus : Bourne on wings of steel. I truly believe Kansas is right in your wheelhouse.
Really wish you would react to Steely Dan.
What a shocking story!
I can really understand your feeling that a musical analysis being a bit out of the place. During the first listen I also noticed different things, that could be interesting to talk about from a musical point of view, like the chorus being relatively melodic in contrast to the roaring verses.
But it doesn't really matter, does it? - Not up against that horrible story. It was people who became victims.
If someone come and tell you, that both his parents just died, it is not the appropriate time to tell him, that he has buttoned his jacket crookedly or give a review of his choice of words. Like saying "That was a fine rhetorical detail using that expression" or such things. It is so totally irrelevant.
It was people trying to express themself in a country with a dark history of repression and being a very messy affair when they finally could speak. They were trying to say something relevant. We must respect that. If we like or dislike the way they did it from an aesthetic point of view doesn't matter.
I think you should have taken the consequence of feeling uncomfortable going into an analysis instead of forcing yourself to do it anyway.
I have a question for Vlad if Amy can pass it on. Has he ever heard of the `Electric Light Orchestra`?
He spends as much time or more reading the comments here. It seems like most suggestions are ignored anyway. There's just too many
Vlad here: time will tell :)
@@VirginRock I'll take that as a yes lol.
@@VirginRock I can sympathize with your situation. Overall, I don't mind that you appear to ignore most suggestions, but I realize you do try to read as many as you can.Yes indeed, time will tell. 🙂
An unexpected song choice but a welcome nonetheless. I'd not heard of this band before so I listened to the song and - while the style is not to my taste - I hope it is a sign of things to come as I'd be very interested to hear your take on more extreme music than this (such as classic black and death metal from the 80s and 90s) but only if you're comfortable doing so of course!
Yeah, I am eagerly waiting for Amy to dissect the songs of Opeth, Gojira, Meshuggah, Enslaved, Emperor, Ulver... I hope she begins to tolerate the harsh vocals / growls somehow.
When the government officials resigned, was there any sort of perceptible improvement?
I would say yes. Others will say not enough :)
I mean this was the beginning, then people that survived the fire started dying in the burns hospital because corruption meant they were diluting disinfectant so people died from dirty equipment that was meant to be sterile.
@@rikardottosson1272 That's pretty bad. It's not like disinfectant is that expensive.
The corruption is even worse nowadays and the opposition pretty much buried. It's been largely forgotten.
I just checked it out elsewhere on RUclips, and it will take some getting used to. Especially the introduction to harsh vocals.
Yeah, I think a lot of people coming from rock background are going to find it really grating.
@@futurebreedmachine9302 And those from a classic background even more😉.
But it is possible to acquire a taste for it, see Elizabeth Zharoff (The Charismatic Voice). She has turned into a fan of Lorna Shore and the even more extreme vocals of Will Ramos. It took her a few years to get there though.
@@futurebreedmachine9302 If you use 'rock' as in classic rock, maybe. But rock is so much more and many rock fans also love genres like hardcore punk, post hardcore and so on.
@@rabiatorthegreat6163 Just listened to it a bit more. And I actually think that Amy at least will be able to appreciate the different things that are done with the voice in this song.
True dat. I knew I LOVED the musical components of Carcass on "Heartwork" in the 90s BUT I absolutely COULD NOT stomach the "cookie monster " vocals.
Well...dumb ass me... I'm 55 now and absolutely not only love Carcass but vocalist/bassist Jeff Walker is now my FAVORITE extreme metal vocalist! Last year I also discovered the late, great Chuck Schuldiner and Death. Now I adore MDM(melodic death metal) bands like Dark Tranquilty , Insomnium , Mors Principium Est et al...
The musical versatility and talent in these "extreme metal" bands is often otherworldly.
I basically love most all music but now I can include most MDM and extreme metal.
But Lorna Shore is STILL just TOO extreme vocally for me.
It's cool to have a playlist consisting of Carcass, Maiden, Journey, Kansas, The Eagles, Garth Brooks, Andres Segovia, Rondo Veneziano , ELP, Mozart, Tupac....pretty varied BUT SO MUCH RICHER with my new "heavy HEAVY metal" additions.
Amy...try some Insomnium or Dark Tranquility on for size.
You will DEFINITELY like Insomnium but just realize the main vocalist sounds like a VERY wasted Captain Jack Sparrow! 😆
I really tried with this channel. It has a lot of potential, it has a lot of good reviews of really good music. Sadly a lot of fixation with metal and music is a lot more than that, special rock music. I haven't seen nothing of alternative, kraut, indie, just a little pinch of psychedelic, no latin rock, no indo raga rock, post rock, math rock, ... but yes a lot of metal, (and even in metal is too limited, I don't see Grunge, Nu Metal, Stoner)... at this point, it should be "virgin metal, prog (and a few other preferences in rock music)". And this isn't Amy's fault, I really appreciate her job, and is a tragedy that her potential has being wasted. Claps for making reviews of The Beatles, Queen, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, The Who... and that kind because yes, those are essentials, even Metallica and Black Sabbath was ok and I clap for Tool and Opeth, because of their musical richness but most of the times they want to go for something newer do we really need, Nightwish, Marilion, King Diamond, Van Halen, Caligula's Horse?... What's next... Dream Theater, Guns 'n Roses? If there's people that likes glam and that kind of stuff it's ok, nothing wrong with that, but all that music is so pretentious, so out of honesty, so out of Blues, Soul, Groove and a lot more of afroamerican roots that gave popular music that "freedom of speech" that the occidental academic didn't have, so far from Jimmy Hendrix, all that kind of stuff that 80's decade tried to pull off from popular music...
Again, isn't wrong if you like any kind of music, but still a waste of time if you want to take an expert in gourmet food to McDonald's.
Vlad is from Romania and we haven't done Uriah Heep's "July Morning"? It is practically the National Anthem of Bulgaria... maybe I am being an ignorant American in lumping the two countries together and assuming that it would be popular in Romania also?
Still a good song.
I have no idea but most likely some Romanians may be aware of this and that would be it. That's how it works across borders, especially with a language barrier, in my observation.
The sound of this video is not balanced, once again... Meaning, Amy's voice sounds very low, and the music is very loud. I keep adjusting the volume - very uncomfortable!
This will be especially for Vlad?...More than 90% of the songs choices until now have been "especially for Vlad":)....Just saying
Because he is proposing the music??? Just saying!
Great tragedy, but the music is just formulaic and the singing is frankly, dreadful. Annoying is what it is to me. If words aren't there to be understood, why use them at all? It's not singing it's roaring.
Apologies for being a nay-sayer, but although I don't doubt that this will be significant for a minority, it's probably a switch-off for most. I guess it depends on your priorities, but I don't think it's the optimal way to grow an audience.
I don't think appealing to the masses is a good thing. Far too many bands as well as analysts channels doing that already.
I'm gone...
People who aren't into this type of music can simply choose to not watch this particular video.
@@futurebreedmachine9302 is this like Doom Metal or something? Yeah, count me out.
@@sixslinger9951 Metalcore. But whats the problem with doom metal? Thats just very dark and melodic metal? I feel like thats more accessible to classic rock fans than many other types of metal and hardcore (like metal core)
Sorry, soooo not into screamer.
Oh Vlad is your husband!! I like your channel. You have a great onscreen personality. Check out Led Zeppelin's "Kashmir." You will LOVE it!!! (PS. I was joking about being Vlad's puppet - but - you do defer to him a lot.).
"I don't like this type of music at all" shows she has learnt absolutely nothing from listening to rock music for this channel. Shame, but the channel already jumped the shark and this is yet another stinker of a video. Was watching from the start, but I'm out.
Oh goody..
Another emotionally retarded individual who thinks that unless someone likes exactly what they do, that there is no value in their thoughts..
You don't have to like something to appreciate it.
You don't have to enjoy a thing to be able to analyse it. Especially when one has a credible background in that field.
Maybe stick to the "ooh that was great.. ummm.. next?" reactors.
How does liking or not liking metalcore equate to acquiring knowledge of rock music?
Wow... I've been listening to rock and metal my entire life and although I love the instrumentals lets say of black/death metal or metalcore, especially if using tremolo, I absolutely don't like the "singing" style of those genres. We all call it the "cookie monster" and saying that Amy hasn't learned a thing because she doesn't like this type of music is so elitist of you. Her personal preference is her personal preference - her analysis is another thing. Why such animosity? This is her journey we've all been a part of, you can't expect someone to like fairly obscure subgenres on first listen. It's your task to find a gateway band to lure Amy in - one never knows, she just might love it in a month or two.
I'm sure everyone will miss your cheerful demeanor. We'll hold a tribute in memorandum with candles and flowers.😪
You don't have to announce your leaving, you can just go.
