Lordi virtually doesn't exist in Canada. In the facebook page, "Bring Lordi to Canada," only four people joined.
I've never had the luck to wear Lordi shirts in school. Way back in the 1990s, kids bullied each other for different reasons in content, but the same reasons in theme: difference from the crowd. Which is stupid, I know.
It's really great that Lordi celebrates such uniqueness. Granted, in monsters, gore, explosions, violent deaths, and carnal aggression, but that's what makes it THE BEST.
I've started relating very well to Non-Stop Night. While I, to be perfectly honest, haven't really gone out since Lordi in Hannover in December (flu then snowed-in), I can relate to the carnal partying aspect of Non-Stop Night. When I do party in Canada, I party *hard.* The song gets me riled up and ready to dance crazily, drink non-stop, and cause some wreckage - like I do when I party anyway.
On the other hand, I feel like "Granny's Gone Crazy" was sung specifically about North Americans (Canadians and Americans). If you step out the door when it's not -30 degrees celsius outside, you'll see it:
- it's all porn (and stupid reality shows) on tv
- little girls dressing up like whores (i.e. talentless pop stars)
- mothers too fat to fit out the door (the States is the fattest country in the world and Canada's population was 66% overweight, with half that 66% being obese - this statistic was in the early 2000s; it's gotten worse since)
- grown men dressing up like girls (see: grown men dressed as scene kids, HIPSTERS, yuppies, university students who call themselves "artists," struggling actors/poets/writers/musicians, etc.)
It's too bad Canada can't be Europe. The music is so much shittier in North America and the people have virtually no taste in music, yet we're practically surrounded by pompous deaf hipster music elitists who don't know shit. Only in Europe will you hear Hanoi Rocks played publicly in venues and radio waves, while they are virtually unknown in North America. Only in Europe will you see rock-n-rollers wear jean or leather vests that proudly bear the logos of Kiss, AC/DC, Def Leppard, Cinerella, WASP, Twisted Sister, Motley Crue, and many other legends. In North America however, anything that isn't "underground" or containing a death growl "isn't metal." Fuck elitists. Fuck North America. I'd make a fun European! (I think...)
Less isn't more; less is less. The more the better; the most the BEST!
