for true fans of Finnish Heavy Metal string trio Apocalyptica this might be quite a chance to get closer to the band, than you'd ever expected: the "LIVE THE DREAM - THE CONTEST" offers a chance to win a 'ticket' to perform the hit "I'm Not Jesus" LIVE on Tour with Apocalyptica!

Ok - the competition is only about singing 1 song - but the winner will (have to) sing that one song live at five gigs altogether. From the Apo-newsletter:

"The Grand Prize Winner will perform the hit "I'm Not Jesus" live on the stage with the band - 5 shows the first week of August, including a main stage appearance at OZZFEST, August 9 in Dallas, TX. The winner will be flown from their home into the first show, then back home after the tour. During this mini-tour, the winner will live on the bus as a member of the band and have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to LIVE THE DREAM!"

…that actually does sound promissing  - doesn't it…?! So - now you'll probably ask yourself "what do I have to do to take part in that competition…? …how can I win the lead singer position…?" Here's the how-and-what:

"To enter the contest, make a video of you singing "I'm Not Jesus." You can stream the instrumental version of the song from the contest website. Upload your video to the official Apocalyptica 'Live the Dream' Contest Group!"

…good luck…!!
