SLIPKNOT!!!

Hi dummies this week im going to talk you about one of my favorite bands which is SLIPKNOT.

The band found it's initial roots in the 1992 "Basement Sessions", conducted in the basement of Anders Colsefini, co-founder of the band. Many of the songs on Mate.Feed.Kill.Repeat and some that made it through to the newer albums were written during these sessions.

The group formed in 1995, and released a demo album called Mate.Feed.Kill.Repeat in 1996. The album was well-received, and several major record labels became interested in the group. At that time, there were only 5 members. Slipknot eventually signed to Roadrunner Records, and released their self-titled debut album in June of 1999. Despite receiving little airplay, the album was successful, due mainly to word-of-mouth. Regarding the album, one reviewer wrote "You thought Limp Bizkit was hard? They're the Osmonds. (Slipknot) are something else entirely. And it's pretty impressive."

In 2001 Iowa, the follow-up to their debut album, was widely anticipated and debuted at number three on the Billboard Magazine album charts and at number one on the UK album chart. They again toured heavily to promote the record.

After an almost two-year hiatus, the band regrouped in late 2003 and began writing and recording with world-renowned producer Rick Rubin, who has worked with artists ranging from Johnny Cash to the Beastie Boys to Slayer.

The band released their third album, Vol. 3 (The Subliminal Verses) in May 2004. Reviews were mostly positive. New Musical Express noted, "At least two thirds of it is still comprised of head-spinning speed metal, but there are signs of genuine progression , not to mention progressive rock ,from the off." It debuted at #2 on the Billboard albums chart.

Several members of the band have been photographed without masks: Vocalist Corey Taylor and guitarist James Root with their band Stone Sour, drummer Joey Jordison with his side-project the Murderdolls, percussionist Shawn Crahan with To My Surprise, Sid Wilson as DJ Starscream, guitarist Mick Thomson in Total Guitar magazine, and bassist Paul Gray in a police mugshot leaked through The Smoking Gun. In the video for "Before I Forget" they performed without their masks, with cameras facing only under the heads.

A country in troubles

Maybe, you have heard something about the earthquake that happened in Haití last week, I think it was a terrible event because Haití is one of the continent's poorest countries, and the majority of we forget countries as poor as Haití until there happens a catastrophe of dimensions as terrible as the one happened last week.


The last monday I read that most of the people in Haití was really worried and upset about the earthquake (it couldn't be different because a lot of these people lost their families or their houses and all the possesions they had) and although medical supplies and food was sent from whole the world they didn't  receive anything because was impossible arrive to Haití; and I started to think about their situation and I felt really hard about it, because we live in the same wolrd, we are from the same continent, and maybe we're different in some things, but we are together in this ship and I belive we have to help them, because today they need our help.


Most of the people I know, and specially teenagers like us, are indifferent about Haití, and I don't know why. It is a really important event; right now there are houndreds of people that had lost everything, they live in a distroyed city, maybe they can't sleep because the don't know something about their siblings or their friends, right now there are a lot of people living in a hell, and maybe we just can help them sending them a rice bag or some medicines, but we can help them, and maybe we won't receive something for this help, but we know we are able to help other person without waiting something.


I think there are important topics to talk and Haití is one of these topics, don't forget it.

Help for Haiti!

The earthquake in Haiti has been registered on January 12, 2010. At 16:53:09 local time to the epicentre with epicentre to 15 km from "Puerto Principe", the capital of Haiti. According to the Geological Service of The United States, the earthquake would have had a magnitude of 7,0 degrees and would have been generated 10 kilometres down the earth. Also has been registered a replis, being the strongest those of 5,9, 5,5 and 5,1 degrees. The NOAA rejected the danger of tsunami in the zone. This earthquake has been the strongest registered in the zone from the happened one in 1770.

The Prime minister of Haiti, Jean Max Bellerive, affirmed that the balance for the powerful earthquake in the country might overcome 140.000 victims, nevertheless the Red Cross said that the victims might come between 45.000 and 50.000, they have not been confirmed, it is difficult to be able to count the number of fatal victims due to the fact that rubbles invade the streets and avenues of "Puerto Principe". Between the destroyed buildings, like the ONU in Haiti, withdrew corpses from themselves of between the rubbles, but about 150 civil servants were still missing persons, said civil servants of the organisation.

Due to the great number of injured people for the earthquake, many persons had to be moved to the Dominican Republic, where dozens of seriously injured persons were coming in caravans to Jimaní's hospital, in the west of Dominican Republic, a small frontier city with Haiti. Buses from "Puerto Principe", were coming to the General Melenciano Hospital, with mutilated children and dozens of men, women and elders with extremities or crania fractured, located to 280 km to the west of Santo Domingo.

Soon after the earthquake that flogged the country, the humanitarian help did not make to wait, so much as the United States, Latinamerican and European countries, the Red International Cross, the General Iberoamericana Secretariat, the Inter-American Bank of Development (BID), the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank (BM) between others, announced the sending of money, food, volunteers, firemen, experts and up to dogs specializing in searches to represent to the Caribbean country.

But it is not sufficient, we can do something, in our preparatory we can do donations, as not perishable food, clothes in good state and medicines.

WE CANNOT BE INDIFFERENT.

More about movies!

I’ve writen about some movies in the blog and I’m a little bit tired of this situation, so the next time I’ll have to think better the topic to write something cool and interesting. But for today I’m going to write about one of my favourite movies (because I haven’t tought better thiose days) its name is “The tiger and the Snow”, and this ocassion I can asseverate that this is a good movie.


“The tiger and the Snow” is a romantic comedy about a man that do everything to save the life of the woman he loves. The story starts in Roma, Atilio (Roberto Benigni)
is a famous poet that Works like teacher in a University, he has two children and he is in love for Vittoria,the woman of his dreams. Atilio is always following Vittoria (Nicoletta Brashi)with the hope that one day she fail in love for him. One day Atilio receive the new that Vittoria is in Bagdad and she is seariusly injured for an accident and Atilio decided to g oto Bagdad to look alter Vittoria. When Atilio arrives to Bagdad and he finds Vittoria he knows that maybe she won’t outlive, and tries to save her life, and finally he attain it, but in the way he lives a lot of sad and comic things.


I really love this movie, because it shows a lot about the people’s ways to love and the things that the human is able to do for love, moreover all the story is a poem and I love the poetry, but don’t think that this filme is a Tipic sweet love film because it isn’t!


In addition the actors’ work is really wonderful, I’ve always loved the Italian movies and specially the Benigni films, because he is one of the best actors I’ve ever known. And if you like the Tom Waits' music you will love this film because the soundtrack includes a song of him and furthermore he acts in the movie as himself!!


Thats all for today, dear Dummies we are not doing this blog just because we love write about the topics we like, we are writing for you so you must rread us and let us know what do you want to read ^^.
