Sketchy 4 - Are you sure the HIM version isn't a cover of the original by Blue Oyster Cult?

Mark - Absolutely UNREAL man. I am pretty loyal to my tattoo artist, but this guy at Ironwill looks like he knows what he is doing.

[sketchy4]

Invictus- im not too sure about that but HIM's song is really called Dont Fear (The Reaper). i really dont know much about BLue Oyster Cult and as fas as i know its HIM's original song.

[Invictus]

I just looked at the lyrics... sorry, it's definitely a cover song of the original by Blue Oyster Cult, which was released in the early 80s. :)

THX everyone for your comments. I took the pics monday night after around 3 hours work, so its pretty fresh in the pics. Can't wait to see what it will look like once color & detailing is completed later. It will give me something worthy to show off at the Tattoo Festival here in Calgary next weekend anyhow. Too bad IRONWILL is only attending as spectators. I think the boys are a little too modest myself. I probably shouldn't show off their stuff as it will make it harder for ME to book in LOL. People can waste their money on the "big guns" if they like, me I'm sticking with the "underdogs" for that fresh raw edge. THX again to Steve.
Oh & I was quoting BOC (thats Blue Oyster Cult kiddies lol) not some band that was still peeing in their pants when the tune they "covered" came out, LOL. I guess its up to us true "Old School" guys to set them straight on who deserves credit for what eh Ken (just busting yer B's there sketchy4, heh heh)
THX all, Peace Out! Mark

Well i had never heard that song from B.O.C. so i learned something new today:) .

Wow Mark! That tattoo seriously Kicks @ss!!!! I seriously can't wait to get tattoo number 7. :)

Sketchy: I absolutely LOVE HIM, I don't have that cover yet, I'm hopping onto Kazaa right now. :D You should check out Zeromancer - Send Me An Angel, that's yet another sweet 80s cover.

[sketchy4]

ill do that once i am able to get kazaa workin again. i think HIM's best song is Beyond Redemption though.

[WRX]

Check out the original, its a classic. I find the re-make a bit plodding.


BT :eek:

[sketchy4]

HIM or Zeromancer?

[WRX]

Blue Oyster Cult. Old tune / band, but great vibe from the tune.

Seen em live many years ago, good players. ;)

Nice tat mark! My dad wouldn't let me have one, however i myself dont agree with putting more than a toonies size tattoo on my skin. I just want a small one.

BTW.
Careful wit ur Kazaa. My dad has a program and Kazaa carries spybots and other crap. Im sure you all know there is a possibility of viruses thought:D Just thought i'd warn you all.

[WRX]

If you can find Kazaa Lite, it is free of spyware, but its not easy to find. Also, lots of DL's are virus infected. Mike sure you have NAV running!

Good heads up CHRISANDBOIDS14!
