I absolutely love Nelson. They are the nicest guys! I have been a fan since 1990 when I was 17 and a senior in high school. I got lucky enough to meet them recently. They have the biggest hearts. I waited 20 years to meet my idols. Thanks for everything, Matthew and Gunnar. You made the trials and tribulations of growing up much easier. I will definitely buy Lightening Strikes Twice. I look forward another show soon.
These guys, much like their father, will never get the credit they deserve, but on different levels than their dad. M&G are first rate musicians and great songwriters. I'm a professional musician and pay close attention to production and musicianship. They've got it, in spades! - but nobody notices because they never got past the 80s hair. Sad - truly talented boys!
So I'm the only one who noticed the eyes darting every which way, stuttering, blink-fest, and talking at warp speed? I'm glad they're back and I hope the album's as good as they're saying it is(cuz I want it for my b-day prezzie to myself ty) but one of them's giving off liar's body language in this clip.
Come on they're allowed to look older. They're candid about having had work done so they're real about their fake which gives them bonus points from me.(not that it matters)
I've seen people with work done who are younger than these guys but look older than they do. I've seen 100% natural 36 year olds who look older too.
These two have every right to look 100 years older considering the # of times life has pulled the rug out from under them.
@AttilaS2C inflated? are you kidding me? they're 20 years older than they were during after the rain & gained a small fraction of the weight that most people gain as they age. they're HOT & anyone would be crazy to deny it. i'm 17 btw.
@barberrr15 They LOOK 20 years older in every way. Your entitled to your opinion just as I am to mine. They suck just as much now as they did them... Perhaps more.
@mudd619 Ok..what has Roxette done in the last 20 years? I haven't heard a thing from them since the 90's!. last song I remember from them was, "she's got the look" and I think they were listed as a "one hit wonder" on vh1! So Nelson is MOST DEFINITELY better known than Roxette (and 1000X more talented and better looking!) I've had the pleasure of meeting both of them and they are also amazingly nice and down to earth! They know their fans put them where they are and they acknowlege that!
Ohh and again Roxette did have 4 No 1. hitsinglesin the US + Several top 10 hits in the US and around the world..
Im NOT saying that Nelson isnt a good band...They just shouldnt compare themselves to Roxette whos is a pop band, and then also ´call themselves a Metal band, Ohh, and guess what. Nelson was a One Hit Wonder. ;-)
@mudd619 - They never used to call themselves heavy metal. They were always saying they were a power pop/rock band. The "heavy metal Roxette" bit's way off the mark. Musta swallowed some Listerine or something.
Now let's get one thing str8. They had 4 top 40 singles in the US including 2 in the top 10. That's far from one hit wonder status + they're the 3rd successive generation of Nelsons to have @ least one #1 song. They made the Guinness Book of World Records. Did Roxette?
I have no idea if Roxette ever made it into Guiness Book Of World Records.
But Roxette did have 4 US No 1.Hits. 2 No 2. + Nineteen Top 40 hits in the UK, and have sold more than 60 mio albums.
Now that I straightened that out. ;-) I´ll better try to listen to some Nelson, to find out whats all the fuzz is about...........I doubt I will like it, but will try. Happy new year.
@mudd619 - I don't get as touchy as some Nelson fans. I wasn't slamming Roxette though. That was somebody else. I defended them and Marie's amazing voice. - The music's power pop with a rock edge. Got lumped in with metal but was never that heavy or hard. I'm not pretending like they're Lennon and McCartney but the brothers are good songwriters. Gunnar's perfectly adept at the guitar. I like his playing but unless he's holding back a lot Paul Gilbert would smoke him in a battle...
Matt plays 12 string bass which is really difficult but then you don't see/hear it in many videos. Just as well I guess when he's stuck with the kind of bass parts that are like baby's breath in a bouquet. You don't really focus on it but you'd miss it if it wasn't there. Not every bass player will be Paul McCartney or John Entwhistle and steal the show.
It helps if you were a 12 to 25 year old female in 1990 or a big fan of their dad's.
You just seemed more impressed by numbers than the actual music from either duo. - If you only go by the two blond guys in front, well combined they're good enough to impress Cat Stevens, Paul McCartney, and Peter Frampton. That is to say Gunnar worked with Cat and Paul, while both worked with Peter Frampton. I'm realistic enough to know that those guys know music better than I ever will and they liked what they heard.
I'm not good enough to carry Peter Frampton's pick let alone play with him
@barberrr15 - Not cool barberrr15. Roxette was really good. One of their songs got covered and was a hit all over again. They're a Swedish pop-rock duo(right # of lead singers and right genre really). Marie has an amazing voice and she fought through cancer not unlike the brothers' sister did. Oh and she'd never have a career starting now because she doesn't need autotune and doesn't look like a Barbie.
You don't have to slam Roxette just because you love Nelson.
I love these guys but this is a joke! Who wrote the lines for them to say during this video, clearly not heartfelt! All about sucking up to Frontiers, which use to be a good label and has turned into a freakin' trainwreck! Only a few songs on this album sound good, most do not! Halfass job once again Frontiers!
@DashDonivan: I disagree. I also heard them and I think they're great. As far as how they sound in the video, it sounded pretty heartfelt to me. I've been a fan of these guys since I was a kid. I was ten when After the Rain came out and been hooked ever since. I have yet to hear anything that comes out of their mouths that's not heartfelt.
Nelson is fantastic. Can't wait to see more. Love what I have heard so far of the Lightning Strikes Twice CD and can't wait to hear the rest. They have only gotten better and look great.
OH MY GOD!!!!!! FREAKIN' AMAZING!!!!!! I am SOOO impatiently waiting for my copy of "Lightening Strikes Twice" to come in the mail now!!! They really look incredible and sound awesome!! This is going to be an incredible album!!!!!!!!!! I <3 NELSON!!!
Vocals & sound are still as fantastic as the first time around. Love it! Thank you for sticking to the music that will live in my heart forever.
