Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Check out www.crashdiet.org - and amazing new band called CRASHDIET - there the new Motley Crue i reckon!!

wasnt that the name of a motley crue album or song? sounds familiar

Its the name of an unreleased Guns song.

its a gnr tune that was never released ;D

Sorry dude, but they look gay! :rofl:

nice music, cool looks, me got white hair as well? ;)
but hate thight trousers...

they epitomise everything that's wrong with the music industry - LACK OF ORIGINALITY.

LOL its so true? :hihi:

what did motley crue look like back in the day then?  ;) they were a lil' more badass tho...
but this band has some great music and vocals from what i heard...

Their web site has samples from their upcoming debut album Rest In Sleaze.
http://www.crashdiet.org/
Sounds cool! Finally a band that dares to do something different from all the redundant mainstream rock out there! These bastards don't hold any punches and this will appeal to most fans of old school Motley, Skid Row, and GN'R.? If you watch the videos, they all got Motley, Ratt, Or Skid Row shirts and the band's name just happens to be an unreleased GN'R song. In a time when most rock bands hide any and all 80s influences, these guys wear them on their sleeves. I love a band that comes out and says "FUCK YOU, we don't care what's 'in' now, and we're gonna do what we wanna do" like that!!

Damn ... all the good new bands comin' out are Scandinavian!! US and Britain totally dropped the ball.

www.crashdiet.org  :peace: :beer:

I saw them on this morning's morning show on Swedish TV4.

The singer was wearing a Jack Daniel's / GN'R t-shirt...  :hihi:



/jarmo

I wonder who their influences are?? ;)

Their album cover is pretty cool:

(http://www.crashdiet.org/tillfallig/temp_album.jpg)

I will see them live for the second time tomorrow  : ok:

what type of music do they play?

Modern Glam/Sleaze. You can hear some samples and see three full videos at www.crashdiet.org

i like what im hearing but i cant get the damn videos to work.

Im sure i posted a thread about these guys a while back. Yeh they rule - cant wait to hear the album.  : ok:

I WANNA HEAR EM BUT I CANT GET THE VIDS  :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

i dont mined em' :yes: : ok:

cant see a history page???

cool to see bands like this gettin' around!! :yes:

I just listened to the song "riot in everyone". It kicks ass.

That kicks ass  : ok:

They finally posted the video for Breakin' The Chainz on the web site. The song kicks major ass.
I'm learning Swedish and moving to Sweden ;D

yeah they seem to embrace rock still lol. Unlike a large percentage of the britsh population who love crappy people like "50 crap"

Yesterday's release party rocked! Kinda wonder how a Guns n' Roses release party would be...  :hihi:

Has anyone got the album? It rocks!  :beer:

HOW DID YOU GET THE ALBUM, I CANT FIND IT IN THE SHOPS.

I think it's only released in regular shops in Sweden.

Order it on the pop up page on http://www.crashdiet.org/ (before you click on the picture of the band)

"Price including freight:

Sweden: 159 SEK
EU : 189 SEK?
World: 209 SEK"

lame, whats a sek?

Maybe the currency we have in Sweden?



Funny, here's another reason we should've gotten the Euro.  ;D



/jarmo

nooo because if you guys do that then we disband the pound. I love the pound lol.

sorry for the double post.


Listened to the album, dissapointing.  It starts off great, but after half way it loses its momentum and power. :no:

Dave Lepard was found dead this morning.? ?:'(

http://www.crashdiet.org/

Oh, my god..  :'(

That's too bad. :no:

 :'( That's fucking awful, i was listening to their fantastic debut album this morning, R.I.P.

R.I.P.  :'(

how did he die?

Just as they were on the rise too. :'(

 R.I.P.

It has been unofficially reported that he hanged himself.

R.I.P.  :'(

where did you hear that?

blabbermouth, other message boards and from some some swedish forums.

I don't really know what to believe.

THAT FUCKING SUCKS BIG ONES, NOT ONLY DID HE ROCK AND SEEMED AWESOME. BUT THAT MEANS THE GREAT MUSIC THEY MADE IS FUCKING OVER TOO. DAMN IT FUCK SHIT PISS.

REGARDS TO THE BAND AND FAMILIES ETC.  :'(

I hope it wasn't the way Michael Hutchence went out. Hanging is usually painful because old 18th century executioners made sure the fall snapped the neck. Guys who don't know how to set all that up usually are strangled to death, and it supposedly hurts a lot.

This is still unofficial, though.

I read in the newspaper today, that drugs and alcohol were involved according to the other members and the police.

So, he probably OD'd on that mix. :(

What a waste. I would be sad but pissed off if I were his bandmates.

I havent heard anything bout them but is sad news indeed to lose anyone so young  :'(
R. I . P.

the still alive members of the band are looking for a singer.

so like that means if they find a awesome new singer, new music and more badass riffery and glam from the guys!

Anyone else interested in them continueing

Of course their debut album was fantastic and what happened was a great shame, awesome riffs on that album though, truly talented members, let's hope they find a good vocalist....

good man lol glad to hear someone agrees!!!

Im interested in being the singer ;D
we'll see if I get any calls ;)

I just got that crashdiet album Yestrday.It is fucking kick ass.

Hope those guys find a kick ass singer for the new band .

anyone still like them or following them?

I liked the album but the band is over since the frontman died.

i know but they are finding another, so lets hope.

oh yeah above is like something i said like in september my oppinion has since changed. its one of the best glam metal albums in years.

they released a new statement.

album next year. under the crashdiet name.....

this is awesome news!!!

Yeah!! :headbanger:

I think it's good they're keeping the name. :yes:

Are you a member of the forum?

I love Crashdiet! :beer:
I didn't know there was a thread about them :)
Anyone knows why Dave killed himself?It's so sad.. :'(

i am. under the same name there as i am here.

Nighteyes, you like Crashd?et?? :o  (oh, right! The shirt at Carlings! :idea:) How did you find them?

mrlee, yea, I saw your post in the Axl thread: ok:

okey, so i'm prolly the only one who thinks it's uncool keeping the name of the band..

let's say that if bono, axl, weiland, jagger, hetfield or any other lead singer/frontman would have commited suicide those bands wouldnt kept their names, and playing the music...

or look at bands where the leadsinger/frontman has died in other reasons, cobain, mercury, hoon.. none of those bands replaced the leadsinger and continued playing the bands music..

look at another example but now where the leadsinger left.. van halen when lee roth got fired or whatever.. it never became the same whitout him...

i don't think you can replace a front man.... :no:


Rest In Sleaze Dave Lepard

Hell Yeah ;D
Hahahahah, the 3 commercial!  ;D ;D (I'm pathetic :( ;) ) you?

Seems like there is some Axl haters on the Crashdiet forum...

i really hope that you didn't mean me by that.. 'cause if you did,, you're crazy and didn't get my point at all..

now i really wanna make a rant or what to call it, but i'll explain what i meant insted of calling names like axl hater and other immature things.....

i was talking about that you couldn't replace the front man.. axl has done the best job in the world replacing the old members with these fantastic new ones and he have all the right in the world of keeping the name of the band IMO axl is guns n roses... i'm pretty sure i love axl just as much as you do wouldnt be surprised if i love him more :P

get what i meant now? or you didn't mean me when you talked about the haters?

AC/DC replaced a deceased frontman and quite well....

....Iron Maiden replaced their original frontman with a far superior one.

And i prefer Hagar to Roth anyway :P

I didn't mean you at all :) I knew that there was a chance that you would take it so,but I hoped that you wouldn't.Maybe I should have been more clear :P
I read in the axl thread at the Crashdiet forum,and there was some people complaining about him,I meant them.
/Rebecka

yeah okey.. it worked with ac/dc ?: ok:.. i can't say that it worked with maiden since i've never liked them..

okey then : ok: i know it's sometimes hard to express yourself when english isn't your mother tongue,  :yes:

no hard feelings girl  :-* ;)

great  :-*  :)



anyone saw Crashdiet live? I never did..Regret it so much now :(

Good call :yes:

Why are you pathetic??
I saw that commercial too, but I couldn't find the name of the band, but then tiger from this board sent me some songs on msn.

I know! Which is weird considering where Crashd?et got their inspiration..

I was joking about me finding a band through a phone commercial ;)
I tried to google the lyrics,but I couldn't hear what thwy sang :P
later on a fantasy forum someone asked about the song in the 3 commercial and someone knew the answer ;D

I think it's very weird too.. but I think they are on "Slash's side" (so stupid to pick "sides" :no: you can like them both)

Oh! I get it. Haha, yeah it might not be the most normal place to discover a band. :hihi:
I actually heard "..breaking the chains.." (or chainz) but I couldn't find the name anyway...
 : ok:

That's probably true... ("Why choose when you can have both? Drink Fanta Free, stay bamboocha!" :rofl:)

on regards to continue the band name without dave.

they only just did one album and thats it, they hardly toured after its release. its different with bands like the stones i mean c'mon, like 60 years they have been goin. its a big difference.

however, dave wrote all the songs....so im sceptical.

 ;D

hahhaha,I hate that commercial! :rofl:

new song here with the guitarist temporarily on vocals. its only a demo so production varies.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=n_Z1NaS7t7o

i think its ok, but its not as good as what they put out with dave.

You can definitely hear that it's a Crashd?et song, but I don't really like Sweet on vocals.. :-\

It's a good song though, i like it ;D

theres another new crashdiet song on my myspace profile page. peter on vocals, its amazing, not the full song but its alot of it!

www.myspace.com/mrlee192

That's a lot better than the first one. Peter rocks on vocals! :headbanger:

yeah i just wish it was the full song. i am aware however, in the full version theres a awesome kickass solo in it!

So there is a full version? :drool:  Do you remember where?

i dont have it, i spoke to a person who is friends with the band, she has heard it.

However, on crashdiets forum, look in the section where someones posted a link to all old crashdiet demos.

some properly produced dave era unreleased tracks in there, there brilliant.

new interview with very slight axl mention.


http://mainsite.wildside-net.com/modules.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=9

Dave Leppard was molested as a chiild  :-X

and how do you know this?

people that was his neighbour knew.

i never was a fan of Crashd?et, never the less was this a tragedy for the reawoken rocknroll industry

crashdiet fucking suck, how the hell could people like someone as crappy as them?

crashdiet are the best band of there type to come out in the last 15 years. At least there trying to do something different instead of being a bunch of boring unviersity looking geeks singing in a northern accent about walking up n down there street and who they meet each day.

"crashdiet are the best band of there type to come out in the last 15 years" Wow thats saying a lot considering I don't think I've seen a single 80's hair metal type band emerge in the last 15 years.  As far as saying that they're doing something different couldnt be any more far off from the truth. They're one of the most generic 80's hair bands I've ever heard. Its ok to have a classic style but what they do is embarassing. They're a joke. It's almost a parody, they were around for like a year and their singer killed himself

what's wrong with you dude, ok you don't like the band leave this thread then, no reason for being a dick and saying it like that, that's just plain wrong :no:

have you even listened to the album?

Why would I ever put my self through that?

Then you are in no position to judge them. So kindly refrain from posting in here.

just listened to the album again first time in a while, it great :yes: :headbanger:

I'd love to, but can't find it here in the states.

you wont, not an international band yet. will be soon.

order from the internet or download.

sure that they will be? i don't think so since dave died, do they have a new frontman or something?


i'd yeah download it or order from internet, you wont regret it : ok:

well shall see january the 21st when hes unveiled at the swedish sleaze fest.

i just love how ju know things like that,swedish sleaze and stuff   8)

i want to go to ris,but don't think it'll happen.. :(

i wish i could go, but i live in england.

dude, even this band is better than crashdiet  http://youtube.com/watch?v=SdZ9pr_UDkc

    http://youtube.com/watch?v=CzM3MKR68gE

at least they are real metal. They've been on mtv, wheres crashdiet been? Massacration has been around more than a year, they have a following, and according to them have sold over 12 billion albums. Its true, its not an opinion, this band is better and BIGGER than crashdiet.

well start a fucking thread about them then, and yeah MTV that's where real metal is played these day  ::)

how is mtv importent?

if i remember rightly, gnr wouldnt have been on mtv if it wasnt for theyre manager begging, they got shown once at 2am and because they even had that bit of exposure people were blown away.

and if you think that band you just linked us to are good, your fucking hilarious.

i cant believe you searched all the way back to this thread just to post more stuff about them you told us, ok if it was up and had new posts ok, but it hasnt.

who cares about album sales, thin lizzy were never big and they were one of the best bands of the 70s.

You clearly dont like this style of music, so to you its going to be shit, just like theb and you posted are shit to me.

Also everyone.

check this song out.

i spose you could say its there "sweet child o mine"

hey quick question why didn't G'n'R ever release Crash Diet? I first heard it when i checked out the downloads that Jarmo had to offer and it kicks ass man i love that song and it could have been huge but why wasn't it ever released? ???

"and if you think that band you just linked us to are good, your fucking hilarious."

You're missing the whole point, even a band like massacration, a parody band is more popular and more credible than crashdiet, and the fact that you couldn't even acknowledge that they were a parody band is pathetic. Massacration are a joke, yet they have more fans, have an album, play shows, have a lead singer, have been on mtv......what does crashdiet have?

"i cant believe you searched all the way back to this thread just to post more stuff about them you told us, ok if it was up and had new posts ok, but it hasnt."

What the hell are you talking about? It was on the very first page, I didn't have to search anything.

A band like green day were on every magazine cover for months, on every channel. Does that make them any good or were they just marketted well.

i know the answer to that one.

It doesnt matter how many albums a band sells, for one its there debut, the singer died before they got to tour england and america and release there albums over here, so they havent really had chance to get well established yet, but for on e they are signed to universal records, i find that quite an acheivement for a band playing there style.

Why do you hate them so much, are you an obsessed kurt cobaine fan?

I hate them because they make bad music and think it's 1986. I am not a Kurt Cobaine fan, and you are still missing my point. I don't give a shit how many albums a band sells, the fact is that a parody band like massacration is more well known and liked more than some stupid band like crashdiet, the difference between the two bands is that crashdiet actually thought they were good.

vietnow138, just leave the thread

dave died a year ago today. R.I.P man.  :'(

(http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f248/crashdestruction/dave9.jpg)

This very talented band have got a new singer now:

http://www.crashdiet.org/index.php?page=RIS07

yeah and he aint a patch on dave and there new image is lame.

Just because you do not like the band does not mean they are not talented in some one else eyes. Obviously since they where signed to Uniiversal someone thinks they have talent.

Crashdiet is pretty good and really like them as well as Vains Of Jenna.

Long Live 80's Metal!!

The thing is man they get this bad rep cause everyone classes them as 80s, thing is they never claim to be reliving the 80s are bringing it back, they just wanna bring glam metal back, and they did add there own elements to it to make it fresh.

New image? Where?? ::)

New demo (Screamin it out) with Martin Sweet singing: http://www.myspace.com/martinsweet

*shakes head*, theres new pictures of the band, sporting a very unsleazy, clean cut image, they no longer have badass ripped spandex on, with worn leather. They have all shiny new looking stuffand they have toned down the image totally, its lame.

ive heard every new demo, theres an officially broadcast clip of them with the new singer, and it sucks.

Have you heard this?

http://www.rockeyez.com/reviews/demo/crashdiet/rev-demotrax.html

(I've only heard 'Screamin it out' demo, and 'Falling rain' live).



If you don't like the music, don't listen to it...  :peace:

theres a difference, i loved the original crashdiet, i even imported there album from sweden and have a fair few live boots....

however i liked the sound of the demos, then they got this new singer the other night who performed live at the R.I.S festival (which i named btw thats how big a fan i am) and wtf, he is not a good person to fill daves shoes at all.

I have heard that the Rest In Sleaze festival was awesome.

ok i just saw pro shot, entire gig footage from there official site with the new singer, its amazing, hes a really good singer, everyone go to there official site to see the entire show for free, pro shot. Its amazing.

The new live DVD is out of the original line up

http://www.crashdiet.org/homepage.php

(http://www.crashdiet.org/DVD_RIS2005.jpg)

you can buy it here

http://www.rabidredneck.com/

i pre-ordered mine while it was available to do so. so i get a signed poster :D

omg i just got the DVD, and in the bonus footage, it comes up with the subtitle "just cant wait for chinese democracy" and they perform the song chinese democracy live lmao!!!!

i cant really post anymore posts after a post. But crashdiet have updated there blogs with new videos, previews of new songs...and a bit of chinese democracy XD

www.crashdiet.org/blog/

Check them out, the latest videos the best, 9 minutes of crashdiet in the studio making new songs, the single "die" sounds awesome.

hey mrlee, you're the crashdiet fan number one.. any news about the album? or titles and stuff like that? ;D

well. im talkin to a swedish sleazer now who went to sweden rock festival, in which crashdiet played at....

they are selling new tour t-shirts, and on the front it says

"Pillz N' Thrillz" so we assume thats the new album name....

the back says "still on a diet" if your interested in trivial stuff like that lol!!!

no one knows when its gonna be released, maybe end of august or autumn time......

you can get lots of info on there online blog with youtube video links with previews of new songs

like DIE and XTC Overdrive!!! sounds rockin!!!

woah thanks dude..  a lot of stuff going on

good quality audience video of them at sweden rock festival!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvK87XJUA-8

i can't believe i missed sweden rock and aerosmith..stupid trains  :crying:

at least i will see crashdiet later this summer (to get on topic  :hihi:)

you are lucky! i wish i could see crash.

MICK MARS HAS WORKED WITH THEM ON THE NEW ALBUM!!!!!


(http://www.crashdiet.org/news/data/upimages/IMG_0006.jpg)

In Swedish: http://www.criticalmass.se/index.php?view=article&id=46

"Annars s? ?r det l?tar fr?n debutplattan, en del nya sp?r fr?n kommande skivan (t.ex. "XTC Overdrive" och min favorit "Falling rain"), och n?st sist - jo, faktiskt: en cover p? den gamla (suver?na) GUNS N' ROSES-demol?ten "Crash diet"!"

Crashd?et (www.crashdiet.org) played "Crash diet" live on June 1st.  : ok:

cool, they love guns, they even did chinese democracy once.....

there new albums gonna rock, you guys should add this section to the crashdiet section!

That's cool, didn't know that. I saw them for the fifth time yesterday.  :beer:

well now you just make me jealous.... i live in england and they never come here, it kills me

I saw them for only a couple of songs at Peace and Love festival a couple of days ago,had to choose between them and Backyard Babies,it sucked that they played at the same time. But what I saw was really good.

lame that they played at the same time  :no:

yeah..
have no idea how the organizers thought when they made that schedule..

you are all so lucky to have seen them

That's Mick Mars?? :o

the one on the right yes lol.

if you go on his official site he says he cut 3 tracks, and the crashdiet album will be out september!!!!

man this band rules, i just started listening to them and now i only get to ever enjoy 1 album by them :crying:

With Lepard on vocals, yes.

they have a new vocalist and are coming out with a new album. this time its gonna be out in the U.S. with a us tour :beer:

http://www.crashdiet.org/homepage.php?page=peace07

new photos from peace n love

oh and a snazzy live video from it, great sound considering its bootleg

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=8yzdP7mQ8IY

i think the new singer does it pretty well, they are just missing the great rythym riffs of dave...

It would be nice with a rythm guitar player, yes. At least live. Maybe Sweet can do both lead and rythm in the studio (or he already does?).

he does studio, but live im talkin

bloody great interview with the drummer, recent on the status of the new album, releases, tours etc.

http://www.bringbackglam.com/journal/2007/6/27/back-on-trakk.html

Bring Back Glam!: Let?s talk about your new album. How is it coming along?

Eric Young: It?s coming along great actually. Next week we?ll work to complete five new songs, for a total of eight songs completed, with vocals, arranging and everything. Then, we need a couple more tracks. So, in pretty much one month, it should be done.

BBG: So, the new album will have ten tracks total?

Eric: Exactly.

BBG: Do you have a tentative title for the new album?

Eric: We haven?t really nailed down a titled yet. We have a lot of ideas, none of which are decided on.

BBG: Can you tell me about the ideas?

Eric: Well?I don?t really have them on my right now. We have about 50 different options. It depends on the outcome of everything. You know, surrounding the album. The photo shoots and everything. The title needs to be something that really sums it up in a good way: striving how we are now, restoring ourselves and ramping ourselves for the future.

BBG: When do you expect the album to be released?

Eric: For Sweden actually, it?s planned for September. In Europe, the beginning of next year?something like that.

BBG: What about America?

Eric: I?m not sure for the date over there?I?m positive it will be released there as well, but I just don?t know the date.

BBG: Mick Mars of M?tley Cr?e recently traveled to Sweden to help you write some songs. What was that like?

Eric: Well, it was quite amazing (laughs) if you want one word. I don?t know. I wasn?t actually the guy recording with him. But, Martin (Sweet), our guitarist and songwriter told me a lot about it. He was so excited, meeting a guy that?s his idol. Pretty unreal situation. In some ways, it kind of levels out after a while, I mean, they spent the whole day together. At the end of the day, it was like they knew each other quite well. I mean he (Mick Mars) is a person just like you and me. They went along really great. He (Mick) started riffing the second he put his stuff down. He went in the room, sat down, got his guitar out and started riffing. It was?he?s just a riff machine that guy. So, we built two or three songs around his riffs. Hopefully, we?ll use some of that material on the upcoming album.

BBG: Does this mean Mick will have a writing credit?

Eric: Well, I don?t know how that will fall into place. I?m guessing he?ll be credited as a co-writer in some way on the album. Just the idea of having Mick Mars helping us out and doing these collaborations is really cool!

BBG: So, who came up with the idea to bring Mick into the recording process?

Eric: Well, that was actually from our record company. I think Mick heard about us in some way. We met up with him ? well, not ?we? actually ? but our record company and his management met when M?tley Cr?e were here. Mick said he would come back to do a writing session. It felt like the most obvious thing for Sweden?s most up and coming glam rock band. So, I think that was really how it came about.

BBG: When do you plan on posting some of your new music on your Myspace page?

Eric: Well, it seems we will be holding onto that?until we get all the mixes ready to go. Not sure about the process of that. We?re going to release a single later in August. I would say, maybe in August or something like that.

BBG: Are you planning an international tour after the album is released?

Eric: Yeah, probably. I mean, that would go hand in hand with the release of the album. Like I said, we?re releasing the album in the beginning of 2008 in Europe, so by then, we will probably do a European tour to support the release. In Sweden, we?ll do a tour around the September release and we?ll probably do the same for the American release, whenever that will happen I?m not sure. But it will happen!

BBG: There are a lot of American fans that would love to see you play live.

Eric: I?m sure. That would be awesome to get to the states to play, actually. We have a lot of contacts with different people. They say we should come play and it has never been possible. This time it?s going to be possible, for sure.

BBG: It?s kind of amazing to think that the band who recorded an album as strong as Rest in Sleaze has never performed in America.

Eric: I know. Well, we were on our way in some ways, and then the whole thing happened (the death of former lead singer Dave Lepard). That really stopped everything form developing.

BBG: What were those first live performances without Dave Lepard like?

Eric: It was sort of natural in some ways. We had already rehearsed with the guy (H. Olliver Twisted, new lead singer). We first met him in November. We would hang with him a lot. It wasn?t a strange thing at all for us to perform with him. We noticed by the reaction of Dave?s family and the fans that they we?re like ?It?s so strange to see you guys on stage with a new singer.? I never really thought of that. It was so natural, you know? We had so much fun, and it was really a blessed evening even though it was a tribute for Dave (Rest in Sleaze Festival). The whole idea of the night wasn?t to mourn his death or something like that. It was to celebrate his memory. It wasn?t a bad evening at all. We had a lot of fun.

BBG: What?s the typical scene backstage at a Crashd?et show?

Eric: Lots of ladies and stuff like that. We?re quite professional in some ways. It sounds quite boring, but we?ve grown up since the last time we were out on the road in 2005. We?re more keen on doing a great job this time. We choose when to party and when to not party, you know? I think it?s average, like all rock bands. There?s a place and time for everything.

BBG: Where did the band get its name?

Eric: Laughs. The thing is ? Dave ? when he started the band back in 2000 or 2001 with the first line-up? he was trying to find a name. I remember he told me he was having difficulty finding a name to suit the band. I think the former drummer actually told me that Dave had called him in the middle of the night ? like 4 a.m. or something -- and he (Dave) was really, really, really drunk and said ?I think I have a name for the band: Crashd?et.? And then he hung up. The next day, the band members met to continue drinking or rehearsing, and they said they?d thought about the name Crashd?et: ?Sounds pretty good!? Dave was like ?Crashd?et?? He didn?t remember it at all! Actually, he never could tell us where he got the idea from. I think there?s some disease that old sailors used to have, when they ran out of food on the seven oceans or whatever you call it. Anyway, I think that?s called Crashd?et when you run out of food and you die of starvation. Dave used to tell me stories about that. I guess that?s where he got the name. I?m not sure, though. No one is.

BBG: Finally, why do you think Sweden is such a hotbed for glam music?

Eric: I don?t know. I think?the new scene with all these different bands. You know the new bands - the emo rock bands - isn?t something that?s so big over here in Sweden. In a way, the old bands - the 80s bands - didn?t become a real big thing over here before the emo scene reached Sweden. I think the whole glam thing got really big around here amongst the youth before they got a chance to hear the stuff from America and the U.K. I?m not sure; maybe the kids didn?t have anything better to do. The young guys and girls started doing their hair and rebellion against their parents and being glam rockers ? which they do best! They have really developed an anti-emo thing. Of course, you have the emo scene here as well, but it?s a bigger thing to be in a glam rock band here.

yeah i'm sure dave (as the big GNR fan he was) didn't remember that crashdiet was a gnr song (remember isn't really the word i wanna use but i don't remember the proper word :hihi:)

maybe since it wasnt released he didnt really think much into it, plus he used that foreign letter on it. you swedes lol.

yah, but that letter aint a letter in swedish, it's only for "image" like m?tley cr?e and mot?rhead :P

yeah well...motley crue n motorhead rock..so that can only be good

quote from website



how awesome is that! soon ill be able to see them live at last

the new single "in the raw" is awesome!! 

the riffs are brilliant, its very heavy, it sounds modern, but is good modern, they have built on the sound very well and blended it with the now much better, everyone should check this song out...im sure if you dont buy it y ou can find it on the net somewhere.

i heard the new song today... it's a good solid rock song for sure, but not an instant hit imo... it does grow on you though.

i did notice that the production is top notch, and i was pleased to hear that Olli's learned to pronounce english way better than he used to when he was with Reckless Love.

anyway, Crashdiet is the shit! first record was killer, i'm sure the new one will be even better. i'll be picking it up day of release.  : ok:

the new crashdiet song is up on there myspace!

the new video! it rocks, and has a cool tribute to dave

first TUR review i've come across, from Bring Back Glam! :



The Unattractive Revolution

Crashdiet will release their next album The Unattractive Revolution next month on Universal/Stockholm Records.

I have the CD and it is killer.

Only Bring Back Glam! can bring you the track listing, so here it is:

01) In the Raw
02) Like a Sin
03) Falling Rain
04) I Don?t Care (featuring Mick Mars of Motley Crue)
05) Die Another Day
06) Alone (featuring Mick Mars of Motley Crue)
07) Thrill Me
08) Overnight
09) XTC Overdrive
10) Bound to be Enslaved
11) The Buried Song

As many know Crashdiet suffered a major blow after original singer Dave Lepard committed suicide in early 2006. The remaining members opted to disband, but later rejoined forces and invited Finnish vocalist H. Olliver Twisted into the fold.

Twisted has a unique voice and brings a completely different sound to the sleaze genius that is Crashdiet. There?s something about this Swedish band that puts them so far ahead of their contemporaries: the songwriting is better, the musicianship is better, the entire package is just better.

Immediate standout tracks are ?Falling Rain? and ?Alone.? Both songs use interesting tempo changes providing a nice juxtaposition for the thematic quality of each track. Of course, absolutely blazing guitar solos don?t hurt either.

Mick Mars of Motley Crue lent his guitar prowess to the band, and his playing is top notch on both ?I Don?t Care? and ?Alone.? If Crashdiet are working to make exquisite glam guitar solos their calling card, then asking Mr. Mars to hop a plane to Sweden was a wise move.

Twisted proves he can harmonize with the rest of the band on ?Overnight.? A deep bass line is present here, adding an extra layer of depth to an already gritty song. ?Overnight? is a song with a big chorus, but very jarring lyrics. Crashdiet are smart songwriters and understand the importance of wordplay when creating top notch lyrics. Also, the song features an excellent guitar solo by Martin Sweet. He is so good he deserves a spot on the cover of Guitar World. It?s time to invite the lovely Swedes to the U.S. -- I know I would embrace them with open arms.

Finally, I also have a proof of the liner notes. The book is beautifully dark, a perfect match for the music. Crashdiet?s debut Rest in Sleaze is one of the best glam releases ever recorded. For The Unattractive Revolution the band clearly decided to move in a more Metal direction, and it works: the songs are sonically amazing, but downright dirty. Don?t except to hear as many pop-oriented hooks as on Rest in Sleaze; Twisted has a different voice than Lepard and edgier tunes work best with Crashdiet 2.0.

Crashdiet are offering a pre-sale promotion for The Unattractive Revolution. If you order through www.crashdiet.org the band will sign your disc.

Here?s the video for ?In the Raw,? the first single from The Unattractive Revolution.

read it a few days ago, sounds awesome.

after blabbermouth bullshit rumours about the singe leaving.

they have just announced a europian tour, mised out england though.

ITS WITH HARDCORE SUPERSTAR !

so go to the website to check out the dates.

www.crashdiet,org

well the new album, dissappointed me.

it wasnt what i was expecting...its lost most 80s influence...

i think more people on this forum will like it though since its more modern sounding and just, different :S

the albums ok, but its nowhere near as strong as rest in sleaze.

http://rockeyez.com/interviews/int-martinsweet-crashdiet.html

 Interviewed by Brian Rademacher/Joe Morris
Date: November 2007
www.crashdiet.org
www.myspace.com/realcrashdiet

Brian Rademacher: Hey Martin and welcome to Rockeyez.com.

First congratulations on the new release, it?s amazing.

How has it been working with Ollie? He is from Finland and Peter, Eric and you are from Sweden. Has this caused any problems when you have to practice, write and record together? How do you work everything out?
Martin Sweet: We?ve found a good way to work together even though he doesn?t live in Sweden. We actually become more professional when he comes over, because then we have a full week of hard work in the studio and at the same time we can do a lot of promotion. It?s more fun when you have the whole week booked than spreading every thing out then we become bored with all the time off and we start to get wasted * laughs*

Brian Rademacher: When can we expect to finally seeing CRASHD?ET play here in the United States?
Martin Sweet: Sometime next year, I can?t really tell you more at this point. We?re touring pretty much for the next year to come.

Brian Rademacher: Have any bands approached CRASHD?ET to be a supporting act for a US tour?
Martin Sweet: >: Sure, there are some bands, but it really has to be the right band, for us to pull it off since the record company and CRASHD?ET have to pay for the opening slot. It?s fucked up but it?s the truth. So we can?t just jump into any open slot just like that.

CrashDiet

Brian Rademacher: Will there be any bonus tracks released that were recorded during the ?Unattractive Revolution? sessions that didn't make it onto the album??
Martin Sweet: Yes, there is one song that was recorded during the T.U.R sessions that didn?t make it on the European release and we?re planning on using it for sure!

Brian Rademacher: Does it amaze you that CRASHD?ET is really not a household name in the States, yet you can get a guy like Mick Mars to work with you on the new album?
Martin Sweet: Yes, it?s really weird, but cool as hell! I mean if M?TLEY CR?E announces the collaboration on their website it must be some kind of interest in us.

Brian Rademacher: Was there anyone else that wanted to work with you for the new album?
Martin Sweet: Yes, Chris Laney wanted to produce it but we kinda wanted to try someone new. Although Chris is a close and very dear friend he?s the best. This is only our second album so far, if you know what I mean.

Brian Rademacher: How did you like working with Mick Mars from M?TLEY CR?E and did you write and record any more songs with him other than the two that made it onto the ?Unattractive Revolution?? I heard you had originally written three songs together.
Martin Sweet: It was a dream come true, and it?s still kinda unreal when I think about it. But he was really cool with me and we got along fine. He?s got his aggressive riff style that I love and is a great influence on me. And yes there was a third song that is kinda unfinished which I don?t know what to do with right now.

Brian Rademacher: How has the overall sound of the band changed with you now being the only guitar player?
Martin Sweet: It has some how become heavier and I don?t really know why *laughs* I think it has to do with the guitar tuning down a step. We did that on ?Rest in Sleaze? too but not on every song. So this makes the album more solid and heavy. Since it?s a one man guitar album the riffs are stripped down as I?ve always liked it. You know like ?Riot? and ?Breakin?, simple, basic and raw.

Brian Rademacher: When you were working on demos for the ?Unattractive Revolution? album did Chris Laney help out at all?
Martin Sweet: We actually recorded some of the early demos is his studio, before we became CRASHD?ET again. This was when we were still in shock and very confused after Dave?s death and Chris invited us to his studio to kinda cheer us up a bit and we are forever thankful for that! I love that man!

Brian Rademacher: Why did you decide to go with another producer?
Martin Sweet: We wanted to try something new with a new producer with a complete different background. We wanted to put a modern touch to the sleaze, you know and not so retro sounding. So we found this guy called Patrik Frisk who mostly did Swedish pop *laughs*. But we clicked right away and we had a blast doing the album with him. And then we had Kevin Churko (Ozzy, Britney, Celine Dion etc) who mixed the album and gave the final touch to it.

Brian Rademacher: Would you ever consider adding a second guitarist???
Martin Sweet: Nope, we wanna be a four-piece.

Brian Rademacher: Can you please explain why two weeks before the album was released and the fall 2007 tour already booked that there was a post on Blabbermouth that Ollie had notified the band that he no longer wanted to be the new singer and had left CRASHD?ET ? Was this just a false rumor or was there some truth and the rest of the band and Universal Records had to talk him into staying?
Martin Sweet: Well, there is some amount of truth in it. But it?s like a relationship with a girlfriend. Sometimes things move forward too fast and you panic and try to pull the brakes. Sometimes it takes a break-up to make the relationship better! But the strange part is how it leaked out. I mean we solved the issues (which were basically only partial issues) pretty much the day after, but by then, it had somehow already leaked. But it?s nice to see that people care and that is a good feeling.

Brian Rademacher: You have written over 30 new songs in the past year and a half. There were a few songs like ?Screaming It Out? and ?Our Moment? that didn't make it onto the new album. Do you have any plans to record and release them in the future??
CrashDiet Martin Sweet: I?ve written over 40 songs and I?m sure some of them will be useful in the future. We?re done some collaboration with a Swedish band called GEMINI FIVE with whom I shared some of the old demos.

Brian Rademacher: What is going to happen with all the demo songs that were recorded with Dave Lepard that never made it onto ?RIS?? Will there be a tribute album released one day with these songs included?
Martin Sweet: Yes that is the plan, but right now we?re focusing on making CRASHD?ET a household name. And when we?re big enough we will definitely release a tribute. That way, more people will discover the genius that Mr. Lepard was.

Brian Rademacher: From the last album until now what were you doing besides writing material, you had to have some kind of income coming in?
Martin Sweet: We all had to work extra hours to be able to stay alive. But you know, the more songs you write, the less you have to work at an ordinary job.

Brian Rademacher: I?m looking at the new CD and looking at the pictures of Eric, is he really a zombie?
Martin Sweet: Yes, he died but he is still in the band *laughs*

Brian Rademacher: I do love the concept of the pictures that CRASHD?ET is pumping with life once again. Who came up with that?
Martin Sweet: It started out as a joke. We had this silly idea of what the future would look like when we rehearsed. And we came up with a kind of ?Cyber-sleaze? concept of just plugging your arm into a computer with an USB wire so that we can just sit in our own corner and drool for a few weeks until we?re ready for the tour. But who knows, that might be the truth in 2020 *laughs*

Brian Rademacher: Martin, I would like to thank you for personally thanking myself and our staff at RockEyez on ?Unattractive Revolution? and if you do come to the States expect our full staff up in front cheering you on. Would you like to say anything in ending?
Martin Sweet: Thanx man and thank you! We WILL hit the states this time, I guarantee that!

Cheerz //SWEET

Cool interview there, finally something in english

I'm confused(i'm new to this band), i thought the singer in this video was that dave person.They look the same unless i've been watching  videos with just the new singer.

By the way, song rocks!

www.davelepard.com

dave died january 2006.

He sang, played joint lead guitar shared with martin and wrote most the songs.

in 2007 crashdiet decided to continue and got olliver twisted to sing, he only sings and doesnt play guitar so now they only have one guitarist, changing the sound, also without daves influence the sound is different and song writing different.
You  can tell the new singer isnt dave, because his hair isnt massive like daves, plus there image is darker now.

Ok, thanks for the info-i can see a bit of a difference now!

i saw the video for "in the raw" on swedish television yesterday

thats good, i wish theyd stick it on english tv screens.

Music channels over here are crap.The only HCSS video that's been played was we don't celebrate sundays and that was on scuzz,but that's the only swedish band they've played i think.

I downloaded crashdiets new album and think it's great-is there only supposed to be 9 tracks on the album and where is 'in the raw'?. I saw that link to the live dvd(the one with dave) and they're all sold out :-[ and won't be able to buy it at another time cos they only made 1000 copies :(

There are 11 tracks

1. in the raw
2. like a sin.
3 fallin rain
4 i dont care
5 die antoher day
6 alone
7 thrill me
8 overnight
9 XTC overdrive
10 bound to be enslaved
11 the buried song

ive got one of those 1000 copies DVD with signed poster ;)

Your a lucky git ;).The album i downloaded is missing 2 songs and they're not even in that order lol.Have to try another site me thinks.

use torrent!!!

im not lucky, i just keep updated on the forum and know when to pre-order something when given the chance ;)

I used a torrent site to download the one i've got lol.I wasn't into this band when the dvd first became available to buy,wish i was though as i might have had a copy of the dvd   :(

i really like their new album, i think this band will keep going and get better

Crashdiet announced there second single is Falling Rain but it isnt the same verson from off of the album.
 http://www.myspace.com/realcrashdiet

Its a new version, personally i dont like what they have done with the song, i think it would have been wiser to release the normal version of the song. The new versions chorus is jsut weak in my opinion.

No news on a video yet but they will be doing one.

Just been on the official site and was sad to hear they've got rid of olli,i thought he was a good replacement for dave.

yeah apparently they felt he couldnt commit enough.

Dont think they have any plans, so i would consider them as on a haitus for the time being.

Yeah it's a shame.I was hoping they might do a few shows in the uk this year,obviously not lol

Even with a singer i dont think they were gonna do that, they just dont have a big enough fanbase in this shitty country for them to make ANYTHING off a tour here. Its VERY annoying but if you look at it from there point of view, its understandable.

They should of toured here with HCSS though tbh if they wanted to gain a decent amount of new fans.

I agree.Would've been awesome if they had done that.

http://crashdiet.sc10.se/index.php/downloads

New Demo - Caught in Despair :headbanger:

yeah i got it when it came out.

its one of the best songs ive heard from them for a long time. Very raw and heavy. Different direction but it still kicks ass.

I didnt bother updating anyone on here, since no one seems to give a shit bout this band on GNR forums which i find INSANE but there we go.

Well not quite, there's what...4 of us  :hihi:

New music video for Generation Wild.

Pretty violent for a music video!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSlKQrciTNw&playnext_from=TL&videos=hagl82Vbb_s

Also on there website www.crashdiet.org they have samples of all the new album. It sounds great.

New interview with the guys...always giving kudos to GNR...and surprisingly...Nirvana.


Interview: Sakis Nikas, Yiannis Dolas

Rockpages.gr: Guys, first time in Greece. How do you feel about it?

Eric Young: Fucking awesome or as Simon would say: ?Fucking Beautiful?! We are having a good time.

Rockpages.gr: ?Generation Wild? is out now. What can you tell us about it?

Martin Sweet: We worked really hard on this record?so far the reviews I?ve been reading are really positive and the fans have taking on the album really well?it feels great.

Rockpages.gr: In comparison with the two previous records of yours, what?s the main difference of ?Generation Wild??

Eric Young: It?s all the blood, sweat and tears that we shed during the making of ?Generation Wild?. The first album, ?Rest In Sleaze?, was done really quickly?it was hard to make it?assemble the loose parts of it and building the huge monster that people can?t get enough of. This time we were more focused and it is actually something that happens almost automatically?when you?ve been around for some time and tour with certain people, live with them, get to know them?then, you work far better and the good result is obvious. When you listen to the album, you can notice that every single detail is well-crafted.

Rockpages.gr: Many people here in Greece seem to take notice again to the band after a small interval with your second album. The title track of the new album is being played everywhere?

Eric Young: Welcome back, Greece (laughs)! I think that with this album we tried to simplify things and return to a much basic style, like we had done with ?Rest In Sleaze?. We tried to write songs that were honest and not so complicated. In my opinion, ?Generation Wild? is like ?Rest In Sleaze??simple, in your face and pure hard rock!

Rockpages.gr: Simon, how did you end up with these guys?

Simon Cruz: We spoke actually for the first time, right after Dave (Lepard) had passed away?at the time I was in another band?I wasn?t available. So, after things didn?t work out with my previous band, I heard that Crashdiet were looking for a singer?I called Martin did the audition and then went out with him and had a couple of drinks. I got the job and everything worked out really well?the magic was there!

Rockpages.gr:?and just when you thought that these guys are great, they have you killed in the first video!

Simon Cruz: (laughs)

Eric Young: We wanted to show our appreciation (laughs)!

Simon Cruz: Well, it?s a tough job! Well, the concept for that first video is really a combination of various ideas?the torture, I think, shows society?s oppression on one?s life?a society that doesn?t want us to live our lives the way we really want. That led to another concept of the video, the Generation Wild concept. We have this girl who is part of the Generation Wild and tries to live out her fantasies. It?s the combination of the real with the virtual world. The Generation Wild that clashes with the rules of society.

Rockpages.gr: ?Rest In Sleaze? is regarded as a milestone record for hard rock n roll. Did you expect that it would have such an impact and what?s really the special element of that album?

Eric Young: Of course, you don?t know what?s gonna happen with an album. We were sure that we got in our hands something special but you don?t really know how people will react to it.

Martin Sweet: I remember that everybody in the Stockholm area thought of the songs on the album as being brilliant! Everybody liked the attitude and the sound of ?Rest In Sleaze?.

Eric Young: I know that here in Greece but also in Italy people say that ?Rest In Sleaze? is the ?Appetite For Destruction? of the 21st century. I don?t know?it?s fun to hear to such comments! It really warms your heart.

Rockpages.gr: In your opinion, why do you think there are so many and successful bands in Sweden from various musical genres?

Simon Young: Maybe it?s the cold (Laughs)! You sit around, you have nothing to do, grab a guitar, write a song?here you have it! That?s an answer (laughs)! I don?t really know?

Martin Sweet: You have to move your hands to be warm!

Peter London: That?s why everybody plays so fast these days?

Rockpages.gr: How about your favorite albums of all time??

Simon Cruz: Skid Row?s first album.

Peter London: ?Appetite For Destruction? changed my life! It?s just perfect.

Martin Sweet: ?Appetite?? is definitely one of them?but I?d say a KISS album?probably ?Creatures of the Night?.

Eric Young: I?d say Nirvana?s ?Nevermind?. I wouldn?t be here if it wasn?t for Nirvana.
