Mustasch

Mustasch

One of my favourite metal bands came to our little town, Grebbestad, and I got the opportunity to take some photos of them. A bit of a challenge in the headbanging crowd.

The band Mustasch started in 1998 in Göteborg and the name is allegedly coming from the fact that the bands role models had a moustaches, like Freddy Mercury in Queen. With over 10 albums the band has a growing audience in Scandinavia and north Europe. They are available on Spotify and YouTube.

The thing I like with their music is the raw but melodic music with heavy guitar riffs. The lyrics are worth listing to.

Rock on, ha de Gött!

Smoke on the Water

Smoke on the Water

It was a rock’ n’ Roll weekend. Both smoke on the water and fire in the sky. Come on, you all know the famous riff. Let’s go!

We all went down to Grebbestad
On the sea Skagerrak shore line
To take pictures with the camera, yeah
We didn't have much time now

King Frost and the Ice Queens
Were at the best place around
But our sun put up it's flare gun
Burned the sky to red inferno

Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky
Smoke on the water, you guys are great

Air guitar, everybody. Yeah, ha de Gött!

Magic

Magic

Yesterday it was two years since we had the burial ceremony for my son. My sons piano teacher Christer, who is also a church musician, posted a video of my son Edvin when plays Claire de lune by Claude Debussy at age 15. So many times I’ve heard him practice this on the piano but he never allowed me to record it. Even if it was hard to see his fingers move across the keys these gems he left for us in his music somehow makes it easier to cope.

Six pack

Six pack

Cardboard wrapped arrived this thing
long smooth neck and six string
locked in ruffed up shed
frantically played till fingers bleed
pays off with the coolest riff
rockin' hard like a giant cliff

friends with drum and base
life went off to another phase
greasy agent, giant record deal
life on a roll, that was the feel
playin' hard, no gentle song
nothing, could really go wrong

caricature like a bad cartoon
acting out like loon 
sex and drugs and wrecking room
heading fast to his doom
tucked away in rehab
made comeback like Ahab

Rock on, ha de Gött!

Guitar

Guitar

Picked up, his guitar today
wrapped my hand around its neck
slide my fingers along the strings

Picked up, his guitar today
scuffed up frets from his music
finger tips on his favorite chords

Picked up, his guitar today
the weight in my lap
heavy, as my silent heart

Picked up, his guitar today

Cherish the music in your life, ha de Gött!
