The shouting in the chorus of the Norwegian entry is actually traditional "Cow calling" or herd calling, used throughout the times to make your cows come back to the farm after being in the fields. Also, Gåte has been a known band in Norway for a long time, so when they swing their guitars around I think its kind of to protest the forced playback of the instruments. Kind of what Nivada did on MTV that one time.

@GRIMMGent

I'm pretty sure that for the majority of their performance everyone was playing as if they were playing live for real. If you go look at video clips of other shows of their, you can see that at least the one guitarist usually goes that hard swinging his guitar around at their usual shows where they do play live. And if you really pay attention to their performance at Eurovision, you can see that they're actually playing and that the swings or that one moment that the bassist twirls his bass around him, wouldn't interfere with them actually playing the music. The one moment that what you say could be true, is where the guitarist at the end throws his guitar really high in the air while you're still hearing the riffs playing, that could indeed been a sort of protest against the forced playback.

Greetings from Finland ! I always love to watch those wonderful performances.

I have been watching the Eurovision Song Contest since the earl y 1970s and to be honest as I am from the punk / hardcore / post-hardcore generation I have viewed it as an ethnographic study of a exotic tribe. It is interesting to see what countries think will win at Eurovision Song Contest Personally I like the audience member videos of the 3 minute performances from the arena to compare with official TV version and this year Baby Lasagna's was a concert like performance and the crowd responded. BTW Baby Lasagna (Marko Purišić) was until last year the guitarist in a Croatian folk metal band called Manntra - who had produced seven albums (?) I did a word analysis of the song and it has a total of 433 words made up of 59 separate unique words of which six "rim", "tim", "tagi", "digi" "woah" and "dim" represented about half the total word count.

Fun fact: Pain doesn’t even give a tiny f*ck that the chorus just sounds the same in the first 2 seconds, they even joked about it on TikTok

Bambie Thug was phenomenal. I want her to collab with Poppy.

I'm so proud of our cork gem Bambie Thug.

you need to see the metal version of europapa it slamss🤘

While Windows95man turned out to kind of fun, another Finnish candidate Cyan Kicks was pretty much straight up metalcore. Of a soft, poppy kind, but still.

I actually saw Cyan Kicks live once with another rock band that was popular because of Eurovision (national finals) and they slap WAY harder live. Studio versions were ok I guess, also they got screwed over by camera work in that national final

IMO their song just wasn't great. It sounded like a generic rock song from 2005 (the only thing about it that didn't sound dated was the breakdown).

Bambie Thug was amazing. Crazy performance with demons and pentagrams. Go Ireland. Crown the Witch. 😂

Megara for San Marino was great too! Rock-ish!

Looking for a video to watch and finish my after work joint before hockey and o have found it lmao. And, great Will Ferrel movie. I didn’t know it was based on a real thing.

Sorry to be that person. But you have the wrong Eurovision logo in your thumbnail. It should have the Swedish flag in the heart as the competition took place in Malmö, Sweden.

As a swede, this is the worst part of the year.. need to have tv turned off and radio for a month or more

Btw, electric callboy, applied for ESC in Germany (i think 2022?), but the NDR (who decides who goes to ESC for Germany) Said No. There were an online petition where the whole fanbase voted, but it didnt work...

you should do a video on the dutch metal scene! plenty of great upcoming bands in there!

You must be the only one who doesn’t get Bambi Thug. Pity

Hey Nik, have you heard of Opal in Sky? They have both fantastic music and funny tiktoks/shorts. I highly recommend both. ❤️‍🔥

huge estoner checking in

You should check out We Could be the Same by maNga. It was in 2010 competition

Funny and important fact: Irelands song was written by Sam from Wargasm and Casyette, which gives this alternative metal vibe to the song

Thanks for shoutout to Estonia 🤘🇪🇪

Joost from the Netherlands wrote the song in a memorial to both his parents who he lost. The lady he attacked was apparantly asking a lot of questions regarding his parents even though he told her multiple times he didn't wanna answer anything regarding them. She kept on asking thing related to them to the point he snapped

Israel was pretty nice, but it could've been better if there were metal guitars from the second chorus

Always loved Gåte❤ And Finland never disappoints. I love the Bambie song. :)

If you liked the Gåte song, check out their song "svarteboka" with the vocalist from Djerv, Agnete Kjølsrud! Absolute banger and goes a bit harder than this one they entered with

Bambie Thug came 6th overall, 6th in the televotes and 6th in the jury votes = 🔥🔥🔥666 🔥🔥🔥

Yes.

Electric Callboy have actually gone for Eurovision before (with Pump It lol) but the German qualifications are always super competitive. Been saying for yeeeeeeeears that they need to get on that stage.

Nik talking about Joost Klein is something I would never seen coming:) the last part of the song goes pretty hard

Us Croatian always seem to get 2nd or 3rd in pretty much most things... except for Water Polo and Handball for some weird reason! 🤷‍♀🤣

Can you Make Baby Lasagna metal? I know you are tempted 😅

My top 3 in finals: 3. Norway. Reminds me Leprous so much. 2. Estonia. Ethno-hip-hop punky song with Vsauce on vocals. 1. Finland. So catchy. Sweet vocals. The country invented Linux was represented by Windows95man. This was so epic!

Croatia, Ireland and Norway had descent rock/metal tracks.

Justice for Joost Klein, disqualified by false aquesation

The chorus in Rim Tim Tagi Dim sounds exactly like the chorus in Party In My Head by PAIN
