I was just at a Zeppelin/Deep Purple/Thin Lizzy tribute night at a local pub (sorry my spelling, I'm sort of under the influence).. Anyway, it was all Zep(YES!), except for one Deep Purple song, and I said hello to one of Norways most well-known guitarists  now I'm going to bed, night all.  |

Tribute concert! was it any real members or was it bands that just play their songs real good? I'd like to see a Lizzy concert, Scott Gorham and John Sykes have been doing some concerts lately.

No real members, no. Local bands, mostly, but a couple were really, really good. Kashmir, Whole Lotta Love, Dazed and Confused were amazing  edit: Thin Lizzy are playing here in a month, I'm wondering if I should go.. Thin Lizzy rocks, but without Phil? Sort of a tribute concert, that too, really   |

Yeah! You lucky bastard! Well Phil really knew how to charm the audiance. I guess it wont be the same without him. But I would easily go if they were here. Only one sad thing: I don't think that Scott plays Les Paul anymore. I have seen pictures of him and John. John still plays the black custom, but scott held a strat. Maybe it's only me that is over reacting. Seems to be a fun place were you live, were do you live?

oh yes, living here is a hoot.. I live in Norway, more specifically Gjøvik, where I study now. Lots of students here, which is the only good thing about the place Thin Lizzy is playing in Oslo, the capital, about an hour away |

Ok. Can't say that Norway sounds that more exciting than Sweden, were I live. But I haven't heard of Thin Lizzy playing here the last 20 years, so maybe it is.
One more thing that me and my friends wonder:
Do you Norwegians have joke's about stupid swedes, Just like we have about you?

We did the same thing when I lived in Virginia, about West Virginians. Here's one: Q. Did you hear about the war between VA and WV? A. We won. They threw hand grenades--we pulled the pins and threw them back... |

Yeah, nice! How about this:
Q: Do you know why norwegians don't have keyholes on thier bathroom doors?
A: no.
Q: They don't want people to peek through the keyhole.
I don't think they are that fun, I think that they're only swedish tradition. But I guess most countrys have jokes about their neighbours.

well, the way we tell that joke about the "burenländer" (poeple from a certain part of austria) it says:
Q: Do you know why Burgenländers leave their bathroom doors open?
A: they dont want anybody to peek through the keyhole.

I don't think they are that fun, I think that they're only swedish tradition. But I guess most countrys have jokes about their neighbours. Oh, I wrote it wrong. It was supposed to be "why dont they have doors to their bathrooms" not "why dont they have keyholes". It lost it's point the way I wrote it, but i was tired. These burgenländers, have you been at war or something against them? That's probably why we have those jokes . |

no, not really. burgenland is on the border to hungary, so back in the old days, when austria and hungary were united before WWI, burgenland was already kind of hungarian. a lot of towns in burgenland have hungarian names as well as their german ones. and a lot of hungarian towns have german names as well. after WWI the "burgenland" was split, for some reason. So a part of it went to hungary and the other part remained with us. but generally weve always liked the burgenländers, they're just a little stupid... |
