If you think the Macy's 4th Fireworks were impressive...


This is Icelandic New Year's Eve. I was thinking of trying to be there for my 40th Birthday. Now that's some fireworks!!!!

even though it's crazy insane, it's still very disorganized and without a focus.
I prefer the 1 at a time or the symmetry when theres more than one. but i bet this cost a ton of $$ to make!

it's all individuals shooting off fireworks in their backyards or frontyards. this is a free-for-all paid for each individual or household.

Yeah, it's insane... I saw it live on New Year's Eve (becoming 2002)... I hope we get to see it this year as well. Never seen anything quite like it, not even the 4th of July in the US.

Ooo, youre givin me the fever tonight
I dont wanna give in
Id be playin with fire
You forget, Ive seen you work before
Take `em straight to the top
Leave `em cryin for more
Ive seen you burn `em before
Chorus:

Fire and ice

You come on like a flame
Then you turn a cold shoulder
Fire and ice
I wanna give you my love
But youll just take a little piece of my heart

Youll just tear it apart

Movin in for the kill tonight
You got every advantage when they put out the lights
Its not so pretty when it fades away
Cause its just an illusion in this passion play
Ive seen you burn `em before

(chorus)

So you think you got it all figured out
Youre an expert in the field, without a doubt
But I know your methods inside and out
And I wont be takin in by fire and ice

(chorus)

You come on like a flame
Then you turn a cold shoulder
Fire and ice
I wanna give you my love
But youll just take a little piece of my heart

You come on like a flame
Then you turn a cold shoulder
Fire and ice

You come on like a flame
Then you turn a cold shoulder
Fire and ice

It reminds me of that firework videogame that came out when the PS2 was first released.

If you ever get the chance, go to the National Fireworks Convention. It's held in a different city each year. I covered it once many years ago. It's all the fireworks makers in the country getting together to show off what they can do, so you'll see fireworks you can't see anywhere else.

The fireworks started at dusk and wrapped up around 12:30AM. The finale was nearly an hour long, and the entire show was set to music. They did a different show every night for a week. It's unreal.


Does kinda spoil you for regular fireworks after that though.
