Swedish men are also blonde and attractive.
In short - you've no chance.
Stay and home, sign on, ask what's on "special" in the pub, drink and air guitar to Megadeth.
REAL TALK.
haha nice view of life you've got there :POriginally Posted by AWESOMEUS MAXIMUS
your right though im just not good enough to compete with Swedish dudes haha.
I didnt actually mean it the way you took it...I just wana go see what Sweden is like and perhaps find out why so many bands seem to appear from there.

Because their government offers financial help to amateur acts who are making money or are generating legitimate critical acclaim.
Willies.
SERIOUSLY!?
Why are we not doing the same? Fucking give some killer bands some money insted of a bunch of junkies....Grrr
Dear forum: Scott is new, please go easy on him.
I used to be an animal, but these days I'm retired.
Which junkies get money?
Yo
haha thanks rach
well honestly im not gonna pretend to know everything about this kinda thing.
But where i stay i know alot of people lie about thier status to get more money off the government....
Im just sayin it'd be pretty cool if our country supported its music scene and helped it grow.

We do, sort of. The Scottish Arts Council hands out grants if you can demonstrate some sort of objective potential, and there's "New Deal For Musicians" where you get some extra dole money as long as you're making progress.
Willies.
What are they, MPs?
It does, in Glasgow we have the largest scene outside London and various organisations to assist in funding for the arts. Same principle, different business model.
Yo
My mate lives in sweden, he fucking HATES it tho, hes talking about coming over tae live in glasgow if i put him up \0/
some proper crazy shit goes on over there, he had to be put in protective custody for years cos a local nazi faction were after him.....
Better than junkies stealing money though. While our musicians are dying of starvation.
Yo
Run for sweden ma barker....'fore i call the FEDS.
(he also says sweden is awful for drugs, hes constantly goin on about these junkies and crack heads that he cant fucking stand.......at length.......every goddamn time)
Then shoosh.
However, Sweden is amazingly generous to people in bands...the amount of paperwork you have to fill out is insane, but we had all of our studio time, instruments, cash towards a tour, the works paid for when i was over. Good times, but then you do pay like 50% income tax and roughly £25 for a bottle of vodka. Swings and roundabouts.
If you want to go to Sweden, my advice is don't bother with Stockholm. Over priced (even more so than usual), full of tourists, quite boring. Nice to look at I suppose. But if you want a proper good time, excellent music scene, lots of illegal tunnel parties and girls and guys that are (and i mean this in the nicest possible way) total and utter sluts, go to Gothenburg. There's a club there called Plastic City and every Wednesday night all drinks are £3/4 (very cheap for Sweden) and they only play Depeche Mode. It's AMAZING.
Dear god, I would live in Gothenburg if I could just master the language.
Where abouts in Sweden does he live, because I've lived in quite a few places in Sweden and I've never seen evidence of a major drug problem...apart from not being able to get hold of any (boom boom).
