8:21 am	Good Morning Class, I am here today with my speech written about my favourite band The Backstreet Boys, but I don't think there is that much love for them so I will do my speech about my favourite metal band, In Flames. While they may not be anywhere near as good as the Backstreet Boys, they have definetly made their contributions to the metal world. In the beginning, 3 members of the band "Ceremonial Oath", Jesper Strömblad, Johan Larsson and Glenn Ljungström quit and started the swedish, "In Flames". They recorded a short demo later known as "Subterranean" and got accepted to a record deal with "Wrong Again Records". They thought the band had some promise so they made a deal to work on In Flames' first album "Lunar Strain" easily identifiable do to it's aggresive nature unlike most the other albums they've made. Lunar Strain made In Flames big in the underground metal scene in Sweden. In Flames underwent constant changes in the band, the first steady lineup for In Flames included the founding members Strömblad, Larsson, Ljungström with Anders Fridén on vocals and Björn Gelotte on the drums, This lineup went on to record the album "The Jester Race" which made the band known to the world, most notedly Japan and Europe. Due to the increasiong success of In Flames, Johan Larsson and Glenn Ljungström who were already apart of other established bands decided to quit In Flames due to time diffuculties, they last contributed to the album "Whoracle". After this album they went on tour with Dimmu Borgir and brought along Peter Iwers and Niklas Engelin to fill in the vacated positions, this lineup worked well together, but Niklas Engelin quit after the tour due to musical diffrences. Drummer Björn Gelotte assumed the guitars and "Sacrilige's" Daniel Svensson assumed the drums, this lineup recorded the album "Colony". 2000 came along and saw the release of their new project Clayman, by this time In Flames had become widely known, Peter Iwers' first daughter was born and he temporarily left the band for a year, being substituted by Dick Löwgren, when he returned to the band the Live album "The Tokyo Showdown" was recorded. After their rise to fame, however, In Flames began to lose some of the style that initialy made the band reconized and diffrent from the rest. The reason has never been stated but most think it may have been the changes happening in the European musical scene and Anders Fridén. Björn Gelotte however has stated himself that the changes have happened largely due to the experimental use of diffrent producers having tweaked the sound, most notably after "Clayman". In Flames has releases two new albums "Reroute to Remain" and "Soundtrack to Your Escape". They also have their new album "Come Clarity" scheduled for a release on Febuary, 7th of this year. They also received a huge boost in popularity due to playing in Ozzfest last summer, the world's biggest metal show. Suprisingly vacant from the lineup however was the Backstreet Boys but why? I believe it to be the other bands didn't want the Backstreet Boys to rock harder than any metal band before, therefore taking away their fanbase...greedy bastards. In Flames is also credited with being one of the first practitioners, if not founder of "Melodic Death Metal" many other bands have made good examples of this style but In Flames truly made itself the masters with the most evolved forms on songs like "Episode 666" and "Gyroscope". So if you like bands such as Arch Enemy, make sure to thank In Flames if your ever on the street. Most Info On In Flames www.InFlames.com (Comment on this)

8:20 am	littler bit of my story Clue: The Other Side By CJ Roy Narrator- Hello this is Clue, today a few people are playing a game, or is it? A game that is. In this “play” you will see the other side of the story, the way the game pieces see it, on the this episode of Twilight Zone! Nah, I’m just kidding yah, this show doesn’t have enough money in its budget to afford that shows cool special effects, and kick ass music… oh yeah, its bad ass all right. Back to what I was saying, before, we cant even use the name “Twilight Zone” or so that what my manager tells me. Stage Manager- (walks on) Actually you just said it twice…. Narrator- So that means? Stage Manager- Just be careful because if you say Twiligh… if we say the word one more time then we have to pay money out are ass for the use of the name. Narrator- Just so were clear, the word that you say carefully avoided is… Stage Manager- (cuts him off) Don’t you dare Narrator- Hey it's rude to interrupt, Twilight… Stage Manager- (cuts him off) Your not going to are you? Narrator- Zone Stage Manager- (visibly mad) Oh my god, do you know how much that’s going to cost us? Narrator- What? Twilight Zone? Stage Manager- (Rage building) God dam it man stop saying Twilight Zone, God dam it, you even made me say you… idiot! Do you even know how much it costs to use that name? Narrator- Twilight Zone? I don’t understand, there just words man, they don’t cost a thing, see that’s the beauty of language its free ninety nine, well I mean without the ninety nine of course, is just a joke, well maybe if we were nazis it would cost us. Stage Manager- (writes something down on clip board) This is how much it cost! Narrator- Wait before you show me; take away all the zeros first ok? (Sees number) One dollar! Why didn’t you say anything man, that’s my whole paycheck! Is it in Canadian money too? Say its isn’t so! Man this is weird; it’s like an episode of Twilight Zone or something. Stage Manager- Urge to kill rising… Narrator- What’s that you say, are you still talking about Twilight Zone, I thought we were past that? Man you just cant let things go, can you? Stage Manager- (waves hand) Narrator- What’s that your motioning for? Man if I didn’t know any better I’d say your still mad about me saying Twilight Zone, but I know your bigger than that, you wouldn’t let a simple thing like that come between us would you, I mean we work together, I’m even dating your hot sister, (babbles on) Killer- (runs in and knifes narrator) Stage Manager- I tried to warn you! Dam it! (Turns to killer) Thank you! Killer- (waves and walks away) Stage Manager/Narrator #2- So anyways, looks like I’m the new narrator, not that I’m complaining or anything. Uhhhh what to say, confusion so high right now, ummmmm…. Well the guy in the mask was the killer, you will be seeing a lot of him, unless your blind, (slaps leg)(mumbles under his breath) that’s not funny, anyways lets not waste anymore of your time with this inner play politics, so yah… on to the show it is. Scene 1 (Lights come up and cast is standing around Colonel Mustard) Yvet- Shockay vous- Misouer is le dead? Cook- Yeah we can all see le that. Thanks Captain Obvious. Scarlet- Well at least he wasn’t the first one to go. Cook- What? Who else died, everyone is here (Killer creeps on) including the killer, (killer freezes) who is standing among us as I speak! (Dramatic pause) Is it you Scarlet? Proffesor Plumb? Mister Peacock? MP- It's misses now Cook- Right you got that “Hair cut” last Thursday. Mister Green, or the Butler? Butler- (visibly agitated) Why did you say my name last? Do you suspect me of doing something? Cook- Why are you so nervous then? Hmmm? Only the killer would have something to hide! Butler- I am just as likely to have killed him as you! He was a bastard to all of us! Its right he went first… second. Cook- What do you mean second, only the killer would know about previous deaths, while were still trying to piece it together. Butler- Well the narrator did go first? Cook- A narrator? Like the guy the does all the voice-overs in the Twilight Zone? Narrator- (off stage) GOD DAM IT (All characters look to the voice then return as if nothing happened) PP- Exnay on the Wiligtzonay! Random- You must be the one with the lisp then, he means twilight zone. (Black out)(Lights come back on)(Everyone is starring off stage in opposite direction of guy dieing) Narrator #2- (Bashing in Random) (slowly drags him off stage) Killer-(Pats him on the back, offers to help drag the body) Narrator #2- (Yelling) NO, NO, I DON’T NEED ANY HELP DRAGGING THIS LIMP DEAD COLD BODY THAT I JUST BEAT TO DEATH INFRONT OF EVREYONE WITH THS LEAD PIPE! AND IF ANY ONE OF THEM TURNED AROUND RIGHT NOW THEY WOULD CATCH ME IN THE ACT AND THIS WHOLE PLAY WOULD BE FOR NOT! IN FACT I SHOULD STOP YELLING RIGHT NOW SO THAT I CAN CONTINUE TO DRAG THIS BODY EFFICIENTLY SO THAT KNOW ONE WILL CATCH ME… NO ONE… TURN AROUND… DEAD BODY… I KILLED IT… ME… THE NARRATOR… NUMBER TWO, WHO JUST KILLED A MAN IN COLD, BLOOD, JUST FOR SAYING TWILIGHT ZONE! Killer- (knifes Narrator #2) Narrator #2- OH GOD, NOW YOUR KILLING ME, OH THE SWEET IRONY, YOUR KILLING ME JUST AFTER I KILLED ANOTHER MAN FOR SAYING THE SAME NAME THAT I JUST SAID. ONLY IF ONE PERSON WOULD TURN AROUND, WHICH IS ALSO IRONIC BECAUSE AS I WAS YELLING BEFORE THEY DIDN’T TURN AROUND TO SAVE THEIR FRIEND’S LIFE, AND NOW THEY COULD SAVE MINE, WHO JUST KILLED THEIR FRIEND, WHICH ALMOST SEEMS LIKE JUSTICE, THERE REALLY IS A GOD. (Getting pulled out of view now) WAIT IS THAT A WOOD CHIPPER? NOW THEY WILL NEVER KNOW WHO ACTUALLY KILLED THEIR FRIEND, SINCE YOU ARE DISPOSING OF MY STILL LIVE BODY, AND NOW YOUR GOING TO TAKE CREDIT FOR BOTH THE MURDERS, OH YOUR CUNNING, YOU’RE A CUNNING MURDERER WHO IS KILLING ME WHO JUST KILLED THEIR FRIEND FOR SAYING TWILIGHT ZONE. OH GOD I SAID IT AGAIN, I DESERVE TO DIE IN THIS IRONIC WAY! MP- anyone else tired of gazing for no reason at this clock? But- No, but I think we should be more attentive of our surroundings considering there is a killer on the loose and all MG- Right then lets turn around then and stop talking ABOUT turning around (They turn around) Scar- Gasp! The person who we never named is missing! PP- I don’t have a lispbshe do I? Cook- (Ignoring PP) Does anyone here a the sound of a high powered wood chipper, mixed in with the sharp sounds of bones crunching, mingled with blood splattering with someone screaming in horrendous pain for their life? PP- No, why do you hear any of that? Cook- Not really, I was just trying to start up a conversation. MP- Lets stop fooling around here and get to some more serious business, its quite clear that we are all players from the game Clue, thus we must play the game. We have a death, now we must solve it using clues, that help our players (points to the sky) figure out who did the killing. But- We should stick together as a group, the killer wont be able to pick us off if we are a large group Yvet- But la what about le just now? But- I have an overwhelming suspicion that wasn’t the work of the killer, the Killer seems like he would have been quieter. MG- All right then lets split into groups of two and search out for the killer and his clues. But- Are you mad? Have you never seen a horror movie? They always break up into groups and DIE! We need to stick together and LIVE! PP- Well if this was a horror movie then we would have heard a loud noise as the Killer fed a person through a wood chipper or something kind of like that. Besides the minority always goes first in a horror movie, and its safe to say that Colonel Mustard wasn’t one. Yvet- But I am le a minority (Starts to cry) Cook- There you go upsetting the token French maid! Killer- (Comforts Yvette) Cook- You always have to say stupid yet logical things like that don’t you? Scar- I am tired of listening to you guys argue I am leaving. Mister Green, you’re coming with me. Cook- fine then, I am taking Mister Peacock, I mean Misses. Killer- (Backs away) PP- And I will take Yvette. But- Wait, then whom do I get to go with? I am all alone? Scar- (Nods head in Mustards direction) He was your partner. Butt- But he’s dead. DEAD! MP- Well I think we will head off after that trail of blood, looks to be some clues over there! (exit) MG- Right, the victim was killed with a knife, so I think we will check in the kitchen first, maybe that’s where the killer got their weapon. Wait… the kitchen… The Cook after them! (Everyone chases after) But- (Picks up body) I guess its just me and you now eh Mustard? I’m sorry for calling you a bastard earlier I was visibly agitated. (Yeah were in this one together).
