WOW, I GUESS VADER ARE HUGE IN POLAND

Vader are getting their own energy drink in their native land of Poland. I can’t fucking believe it, but there’s the non-photoshopped picture as proof. It’s not just like some energy drink company HAPPENED to choose the name Vader – they actively WANT to do a tie-in with this metal band.
Can you imagine how big Vader must be in Poland for this to actually happen? I mean, I haven’t heard shit about a Megadeth energy drink or Slayer energy drink here in the US; those bands are pretty big here, but I can’t fathom that kind of product ever getting made for a band any smaller than Metallica.
Actually, I guess Megadeth do have a coffee or some shit, so maybe this isn’t so weird.
ANYWAY, if any of our Polish readers (and I know we have some ’cause at least one of you entered this week’s Completely Unreadable Band Logo contest) try this drink out, let us know how it is. And if you actually get off your ass and ship us a few to sample for ourselves, we promise to send you something real pretty in exchange.

actually, that right there is a heavily photoshopped picture;)
It’s got more of a Darth Vader vibe if you ask me…
I have my own metal band named for half of another Star Wars character. It’s called Solo. Oh wait, that’s not a metal band, that’s something else. Never mind.
I want an energy drink named Dying Fetus.
I’m from poland and i didnt see this shit in shops. Besides i will never drink this. BTW I dont know why this shitty band (and behemoth of course) is so popular. In Poland we have better metal bands for example Decapitated, Totem, Virgin snatch and more.
Stinkin’n Feet:
whats so bad about Vader and Behemoth? both of those bands kick ass, along with the others you mentioned. and all of those bands you mentioned are popular in the metal community here in the states and i would assume theyre popular in europe too.
I want a Behemoth energy drink called Epic-As-Fuck that has the side effect of making you stab babies in the face.
Anyone that wants to try this – let me know :P secz82@tlen.pl
If I find it anywhere I’ll be more than happy to send some :P
Would it fucking kill Blabbermouth TO CITE SOMETHING?!
Thus, how the hell do you know that’s not ’shopped, Axl?
makes a lot of sense to hate vader and say you liked decapitated.
It’s not shopped. I live in Poland. Yes, they launched this energy drink. And yes it’s named after the band not the Darth guy. There’s even some concert next week here in Warsaw for Vader’s 25th anniversary and there will be a special bar giving this shit away. But don’t worry, they’re not that huge here, Well I saw them lately on some breakfast tv programme where they were talking how do they prepare their meals, but apart from that I don’t think that anyone will notice that this drink is named after a band.
I’m also from Poland and reading this was a fucking shock! Energy drink named after a band? It doesn’t even look like. Logo is more sci-fi/space than metal. And also sentence ‘Power is back!’ is used in adverts of another energy drink called Tiger (I think it’s name after kickboxer who’s nickname was Tiger) but I don’t know which company does that Tiger shit. Anyway when we are around polish music you guys should check out band named Totem (www.totem.metal.pl). a lot of songs are legally availble for download on their site.
