Bob Dylan Oslo 2013

Posted on by Oslo Guide

One of the most important men of pop music will give a concert in the capital of Norway, Oslo. Ladies and Gentlemen, we are talking about Bob Dylan and the date is 10 October 2013.

The singer was born as Robert Allen Zimmermann in 1941 in Duluth, Minnesota State. He was very young, when he became a music fan, he always listened blues and country radio stations. He founded several bands in high school. His music interest changed in the university, he left the rock and roll and listened American folk. He changed his name to Bob Dylan in these years, later he went to the Supreme Court in New York and he changed it officially. And then the 60s arrived and Dylan became a member of the Civil Rights Movement, his music showed the same. His next albums’ lyrics touched lots of political topics, sometimes these were pretty outrageous, but sometimes he wrote love songs too. His next album was a little bit surrealistic; he often changed the music styles and the topic of his songs.

He was the first artist who used electronic guitar in his band in front of the audience, which is one reason why he is now an important part of music history.

It is totally worth to visit Oslo to see Bob Dylan’s concert on this fall, because you could see a living legend. Have fun!

Posted on by Oslo Guide

Here is the newest proof of the rock’n’roll’s immortality, because the Black Sabbath with Ozzy Osborne will start a European tour in 2013! Moreover, before the tour they made a common new album, the 13.

The band released the first album Black Sabbath in 1970, but it was only moderated success, but without any doubt, they were the first and most important heavy metal band. Already from the start their lyrics have been darker then the contemporary bands’ music. At the end of 1960s, music bands fought for peace and made psychedelic music, but the Black Sabbath used the subject of occultism, war, world’s end and gothic story telling. In their music anger and the fight against institutions were the most important; it was brand new thing! Through 40 years 22 musicians played in the band, but in this autumn it will be almost the original line-up.

Moreover the fathers of heavy metal will visit the bigger European cities during their tour, so they will give a concert in the capital of Norway, the amazing Oslo too. If you one of those, who were the fan of Ozzy Osborne and the Black Sabbath and love the real, hard rock music than do not miss one of the most important returned bands’ concert on 24 November 2013 at the Gamle Snarøyvei, Oslo! Have fun!
