Cinema Bizarre Fur Immer!!!

It's officially true that Cinema Bizarre had officially broke up early this year. I know it's hard to except the fact that there's no longer an amazing androgynous German bands, but hey, life must go on, and you never know there might be a comeback. Beside, you can always follow the guys individually as some of them are still active blogging and twittering. We here in Vlad Magazine were given a golden opportunity to interview not the band itself, but their Uber crazy fans (well now more to Strify's fan) that only would like to be known as Rave from Wonderland, Germany. Judging from the massive amount of Cinema Bizarre and Strify pin-up poster hanging on her bedroom wall, without a doubt, we know she's the most reliable sources that worth interviewing. Anyway, here's how the interview went :-

Vlad Mag. : Guten tag Rave.
Rave : Ich alles gute. Am I going to be on TV? Hallo mom und dad!
Vlad Mag. : No you're not. You're just going to be featured in EPC blog.
Rave: EPC?
Vlag Mag. : English for Professional Culprit.
Rave: Huh??? What??
Vlad Mag.: Never mind. So Rave, tell us, how had you been coping so far with the tragic news?
Rave: I don't think I ever will. I mean, who going to give sarcastic comments in funny British accents
if Simon leaves American Idol. Tyra Banks? She's too "fierce". Christian Siriano? He in a hot tranny mess. Face it, 1 of the reason we watch American Idol is because of Simon Cowell himself. I just can't.....
Vlad Mag.: I'm reaaally sorry to interrupt, but the tragic news that I'm referring to is the disbanded of Cinema Bizarre.
Rave: Owh, THAT tragic news. Sorry, it just that, there's been lots of tragic news lately. Well, I was totally devastated the 1st time I heard it. They were an amazing band and will always be. What I'm scared the most is the band would be gone for good, and we the fans would never ever heard anything from them again.
Vlad Mag.: What do you think the reason they broke up?
Rave: I don't know, I have no idea. Each of them said they wanted to try something else. Who knows, maybe they're just tired of wearing the same smelly outfit during tour.
Vlad Mag.: What each of them are doing after the broke up?
Rave: Well I'm glad that Strify, Yu, and Romeo are still in touch with their fans. Strify did some DJ stuffs here and there, while Yu and Shin had formed a band. Romeo did some colab with other band and Kiro... I don't know what happen to him. I just hope he's happy with his boyfriend.
Vlad Mag. : Well then, any last words to the band?
Rave:Sure, guys remember Style is War. And Strify, I expected a phone calls from you cause you're about to be a father. Remember last year June 6, in Paris?
Vlad Mag.: Ok then. Whatever that means. That's all from Vlad Mag for EPC Blog. Till then, awerdiessen.

There goes another rock legend !!!

I was checking my twitter the other day when 1 of my twitter friends post out " RIP The Rev ". I was like, it couldn't be the Rev that I think it could be? No way. At the same time Avenged Sevenfold was also on the trending topics (stuffs people most talk about on twitter) top 10 lists. So I search in Wiki for the Rev, and there it shows. I just couldn't believe what I read for a seconds, James Owen Sullivan aka The Rev from Avanged Sevenfold was found dead in his house. I was like no way. It is the Rev that I though it is. What can I say, death something that is unpredictable. Oh well, there goes another great drummer.

Are you up for some challenges?

Ok guys, here's the deal. The picture above consist of my favourite 25 band logos/symbols. If anyone of you Aplets out there could guest 20 of it correctly, than I will....(hmmm, lets see)... treat you for the famous ABC in Section 2. Haha, know why I dare to say all this in the 1st place, because I doubt anyone of you can even get half of it correctly. Nevermind, anyway all the best and good luck (you guys really need it). Bye English Language Nerds.

P/S: All logos are courtesy of each respective bands and their records label.Edited using Photoshop7 by the PokemonJunkie.

What a great holidays!!!

Hi there everyone!! how's your holidays? I hope it turn out great. Mine was awesome!! I went to shopping a few days ago and bought My Chemical Romance DVD " The Black Parade Is Dead". It was the 2nd DVD from the band after "Life on The Murder Scene". It's one of the must have items for a die hard fans of MCR like me.lol. Kinda sad that 'the black parade' is no longer exist. I heard that the NJ guys are working on their fourth album which is likely to be release end of this year. I just hope it's going to follow the success of their sophomore album 'Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge' and may even come up which a much more interesting concept than 'Revenge' ,'Death' or 'World War 2'. I personally think that the concept of the Romans and Greeks mythology is interesting. Or maybe 'Vampires and Werewolves' or perhaps 'Halloween'. Whatever it is I'm sure going to be the first one inline at stores to buy their CD. I also saw an unofficial biography books of the band written by a person named Mona Gail (I think Mona is the person who create the The Black Parade costume along with Gerard) and plus "The Umbrella Academy" comics books that was inspired by the band frontman Gerard Way at Kinokuniya KLCC. I'm going to get my hand on that stuffs soon once I get enough notes in my pockets. Phew!! Can the holiday get any better than this? MCR rules and Goth is here to stay!!
