Someone get this man on Suicide Watch.

[Dano]

I saw the sign, and it opened up my eyes, I saw the sign.

[Jesda]

My plan was:
Go to Sweden, tour Saab, Spyker, and Volvo, then go see AOB perform.

[AppleBonker]

I'm sorry for your loss.

[justinmc]

I'm voting that while this might be a terrible personal loss (as would probably be the demise of Saab) to you; the music community... wait, the world is now a better place for it.

[Saab's still in business.]

[RCA]

Hey hey hey...

We're not mourning their departure, we are celebrating their accomplishments...

Best Bally's commercial ever...

Well, it's not as if we didn't see this coming, we all saw the sign.

I actually thought they died off long ago. It's not like they have done anything in America lately.

Thats assuming that musak marketed for an American audience is the only musak that counts.

Hmm, AOB is finished, Saab is on it's hind legs right now, Volvo sold out to China and Spyker would only be fun to look at and laugh at their F1 failures.

The only thing good out of Sweden is the women and the metal. Both are worth going there for though... I made quite a few trips while stationed in Europe.

Ok, mr euro fag, when you don't tour in the us and don't offer any new releases without having to go to a store and buy an expensive import, then you have kinda lost most of the audience.

You don't give enough credit to how much the European entertainment market counts for. Countless bands have survived solely on just their European sales and did just fine.
Remember the band "The Prodigy"? Unless you're a big fan of the group or remotely interested in the electronica genre you could probably remember 2 or 3 songs from the group, and here they probably are:
1. Firestarter
2. Breathe
3. Smack My b**** Up

Although this group had many many many more albums before and after the release of the album "Fat of The Land" which is the only album that topped the USA charts. And they're still kicking till this day.

[Otto.]

Dave is too cranky to listen to electronic music.

Sure, and they tour so much here, ya know? Way to show your support of all the US fans, guys.

You're just mad because nobody likes a ginger.

[Jesda]

Europeans love David Hasselhoff. Well, to be fair, Germans. Wacky Germans.

Actually they do tour here, I went to their last concert in NYC last year in Roseland Ballroom, so we are not forgotten although account for a small share of their fan base.

Oh yeah.. I forgot that euro fag part. My bad. So none of the 6 BILLION other people in the world listen to, support or buy music? That would be roughly the other 95% of the people in the world. So if its not marketed to 5% of the population then it doesn't count?

I listen to some electronica.. but not exclusively. Actually my music collection is pretty diverse.. starting at a band called "A" and ends somewhere south of ZZ Top. So if by euro fag you mean I don't pump Billy Ray Cyrus from the cab of my lifted F150.. then yeah.. I'm a euro fag and I'll take that title.

One visit does not account for a "tour".

Marketing is very important if you want prospective fans to know about you. Sorry you don't understand that.

lol I like how you try to play this. I'm supposed to look less like a real music lover because I don't go out of my way to find other country's artist and love their music.

[IBCoupe]

I didn't realize that people still listened to them. I thought we grew taste.

Then again, there's American Idol, so there goes that notion.

I didn't say you were any less of a music lover. You just don't agree with marketing strategies of certain bands, groups, artists, labels, etc. I can respect that. It would be like me saying you weren't a real car lover because you (for the sake of this discussion and since we are on a Nissan board) only liked Nissan cars/trucks/etc. Thats simply not true.. your interests are just different than mine and some of the other people on here. I wouldn't call you a japanese car loving fag because of it though.

You never even discussed any sort of music you like.. just painted a broad stroke and said that music not marketed, sold, readily available here = fail. I think thats a pretty broad generalization which isn't true. You obviously disagree.

Yeah, music's gotten better.





People should pick up instruments and take music classes. Its good for the mind, good for the soul, and good for discussing music.

[93coupe]

Who? I think only you and a kid on the Altima coupe side (I think his name is BoyStarr or something like that) are upset about this.

[IBCoupe]

I'm just teasing, Jesda.

I cry when my favorite television shows get canned... which they invariably do, before their time.
